Don't let the mainstream feed you their lies. Most of the time they ignore crop circles completely, and when they do report on them they tend to focus on the controversy, instead of the actual formations. Look at the evidence for yourself and make up your own mind. It is impossible to say whether any crop circle is a hoax or not BEFORE it arrives. Only after a new formation is surveyed can any attempt be made to explain the possible methods of its creation.

This particular formation is in a field of Oil Seed Rape (also called Canola). This is a very brittle plant and will snap like celery if someone tries to bend it in its natural state, without using steam or some other method to soften it up first. Perhaps microwave radiation would do the trick?

There are benevolent forces at work here. Whoever/whatever is responsible has the utmost respect for these plants, taking great care not to break (and thus kill) them.

The formation is 260ft across, the centre circle is 52ft, the pathways are 11ft. Everything is laid in a clockwise manner, and the 'Vesica Pisces' appears to be orientated exactly due north/south. From the air I think the formation will be seen to be centred on a tramline, and its outer circumference nestled between a further pair. The formation is about 201ft and the tramlines run east/west.
