What's already being called the greatest crop formation ever appeared in an English field around August 14, 2001. Preliminary reports estimate the design spans approximately 800,000 square feet and contains 400 or more individual circles.

While the media at large and the scientific community have pigeon-holed the "crop circle" phenomenon into the "circular file," writing it off as the work of humans with boards and ropes, this formation should give any self-proclaimed skeptic pause.

Allowing a generously short period of five minutes per circle, on average, alleged "circlefakers" would need at least 33 man hours simply to flatten the grain. The time required to plan and lay out such an immense and intricate pattern with such precision surely required tens of hours more.

As usual, no suspects have emerged or claimed credit for the formation.

It is hoped the BLT research team will acquire samples from this glyph to see if the grain has been altered due to rapid heating, as is apparent in a large number of other formations studied by the Michigan biophysicist who heads the team.

Though the mystery posed by this phenomenon is frustrating, I suggest that for the time being we enjoy its beauty and accept that someday the "crop circle" phenomenon will gets its day in the court of science.
