serious attention was given to the simple circles in 1980 in southern england...

the designs appeared primarily as simple circles, circle with rings and variations on the celtic cross up into the mid-1980s...

then they developed straight lines and created pictograms, not unlike petroglyphs...

after 1990 the designs developed exponentially in complexity and today it is not unusual to come across designs mimicking computer fractals and elements that relate to 4th dimensional quantum physics...

their sizes have also increased, some occupying areas as large as 200,000 square feet...

to date there have been over 10,000 reported and documented crop circles throughout the world, with some 90% emerging from southern england...

while many still go unreported each year, the emergence of the phenomenon in the world media and the internet has allowed more information to be lodged...

on 1 occasion, the circlemakers even materialized in full view of the british prime minister's heavily-guarded country residence...

at stonehenge in 1996, a pilot reported seeing nothing while flying above the monument, yet 15 minutes later this huge 900 feet formation resembling the julia set computer fractal and comprising 149 meticulously layed circles, lay beside the heavily guarded monument...
