Crop Circles
Although Crop Circles were not well known until about 1980, the phenomenon has been occurring for many decades. Recently Crop Circle formations have become much more elaborate and complex, no longer just mere circles. These formations have been seen all over the world at various locations such as America, Europe, Canada, Russia, and even Japan. But, for whatever the reason, England seems to get an over abundance of these occurrences yearly.
Since 1980, crop circles began capturing the imaginations of millions throughout the world. However, in 1991, the curiosity around these occurrences was shaken when Dough Bower and Dave Chorley, two former British painters, came forward with the story that they had created over 2000 of these 'circles' by using flat boards strapped to their feet. But they could never adequately back up their claims. In fact, many crop circle formations can not be explained away so easily. Scientific evaluation has proved that true crop circle formations have been altered molecularly at the sub-atomic level.

A
video showing a complex series of connecting circles
being formed
by two strange lights in a field near Stonehenge, was brought to media attention
in late 1996. Many people believe that this video footage is a hoax.
However, it does look pretty convincing. There have been multiple reports
from people seeing mysterious lights in the fields in which crop circles have
been known to form - even from purported crop circle hoaxers have admitted to
seeing them.
August 13th, 2001 possibly the most important crop circle in all the history of crop formations was discovered. It would appear that the "Circle Makers" have responded to a digitally encoded message that we transmitted back in 1974 that included information about us and our planet.
The formation above is identical to the 1974 message that the Arecibo Radio Telescope in Puerto Rico transmitted with minor differences. Those differences include alterations to the DNA double helix, solar system, and population among other things. It appears that a type of information exchange among species may have taken place. Twenty-seven years after transmitting information about us, it would seem that the courtesy has been returned.
August 15, 2002 almost 1 year to the day, another groundbreaking (pun intended) formation appeared. Have we been contacted?
