Alien Graffiti

Without a doubt, crop circles have always been at the centre of the alien debate. From seventeenth-century wood cuttings depicting a 'devil mower' to the sophisticated and awe-inspiring designs left in fields today, I can't imagine anybody not being curious about who or what is responsible for them.

For those of you who haven't seen any crop circles, or who want to trace the patterns in their development from 1990 to the present, I strongly recommend a visit to the site of one of the best crop circle photographers around, Lucy Pringle. Notice the increasing complexity in the designs, as well as the themes some years seem to have.

One thing that amazes me is that in this day and age of unashamed hunger for celebrity (do I even need to mention BB or certain singing competitions??), the artist behind these designs has not come forward.


Whoever or whatever you are, thank you for this inspiring art, beautiful in its naturalness and stunning in its precision.
