Wow, really? Who'd-a thunk it?? This is truly startling news, Xeno. I recommend the article from the Wikipedia piece that Michael linked to. He linked to the note in Wikipedia, but the note has a link to the PDF article (from the August 2011 Physics World): http://pages.uoregon.edu/msiuo/taylor/human_response/CropCircles(physicsworld).pdf Bottom line, while the scientific consensus is that the circles are manmade (duh), researchers haven't been able to fully account for how it's done (at least as of the Physics World article).
