The formation gives an impression of looking down on skyscrapers from above and was only spotted last week by a microlite pilot.

Steve Alexander, a crop circle photographer of more than 15 years, said: "I thought it was a groundbreaking formation. We have not seen anything like it before.

8. wow, that is really pretty cool

Nicely done, whoever did it. I sort of see "crop circles" as a highfalutin form of graffiti, but still, that is extremely well executed.

9. It's not fair, now that the artists have GPS

I miss the good old days when they used string and other basic surveying equipment.

[Avalux]

10. I hadn't thought of GPS -

we would have caught at least one of them by now. :shrug:

13. I'm with you

On another tangent, I miss animated cartoons cells drawn by hand, but that's just the Luddite blood in me talking.

17. I've started collecting hand painted cels because they'll be

extremely rare in the near future. Some of the Anime cels are still fairly cheap and they make nifty wall art.

[Midlodemocrat]

15. Wow. Those aliens are sure getting creative.

:bounce:
