Crop circles began appearing in England, seemingly created by flying saucers landing in a farmer's field and destroying a neat circle of the crop.
Early examples of this phenomenon were usually simple circular patterns of various sizes, which led some people to speculate that it was a natural phenomenon, but in recent years complex geometric patterns have emerged. Advocates of the flying saucer explanation regard these patterns as containing codified messages and as being of intelligent origin.
A decade after the phenomena began, two men stepped forward and announced that the crop circles were a hoax of their doing. They said a small group of people can trample a sizeable area of crops in a single night.
Many people have refused to accept the hoax explanation on the grounds that the hoaxers have not disclosed their methods sufficiently. These skeptics assert that when such a circle appears in crops mature-enough that they carry seeds, seed-pods are unbroken, whereas trampling causes seed-pod breakage. demand an explanation for the anomaly
M. Night Shyamalan, the author and director of Sixth Sense and Unbreakable is filming Signs, a movie about crop circles, reputed to lean toward a supernatural explanation.
