Crop circles aren't new and people have been seeing them
made (and not by other people, either) for over 50 years.
Alec Randall of Wiltshire, England describes looking into a field
with his girlfriend in 1955 and seeing a "distortion of the air,
like a thick haze of heat" 20 feet above a wheat field. They
heard a "cracking noise like an electric shock noise?an
electrical bang." When the haze lifted 20 minutes later, there
was a circle in the field.
Nick Redfern writes that the resulting shape was a perfect
circle about 8 feet in diameter. The wheat was flattened in
a "beautiful swirl but with a smell of burning metal in the air
which lasted for a few minutes or until we got used to it."
Redfern wrote an earlier article about crop circles being
investigated by the military during World War II
because they thought they might be signals to Nazi fighter
pilots. Randall says, "I've followed the circle things since the
80s because of my sighting, but to know that there were
others who had seen them before me was good to know."
