Crop formations have all but disappeared from the public mind, and with them the chance that they offered to restore our sense of wonder about the world around us. This has happened not only because of the frantic debunking of the early years, but more recently because of the proliferation of hoaxed formations made by artists on behalf of farmers hoping to charge admission and tour companies eager to bring in busloads of tourists.

The witness was taking pictures of the scenery at the time, and had taken three photographs in quick succession. This image appears in only one of them. It was taken in a very secluded area.
