Once again....EVERY "crop circle" is in a field that has furrows already made, for easy access in/out by the HUMANS who tromp in to make these things!!!
Why do people notice this obviousness??
The ‘shaded’ areas of the design which make it appear 3D are the obvious main features to this crop circle at ground level. These are created using a ‘basket weave’ effect but with two key differences to the formations where we saw this last season. Firstly the ‘lines’ used to create the overlapping pattern are parallel to the edges of the cube shapes in the design, therefore they cross each other creating internal angles of 60º rather than 90º as seen previously (x rather than +).
The condition of the crop within these areas is generally very good. There is some evidence of damage to stems but on the whole they appear untouched. In many places the layering created by stems crossing in different directions causes the crop to end up a few inches from the ground rather than being laid flat.

Sorry, but it's common sense, not "mystical, magical" entities involved here.
There are PLENTY of sources available, online, to show how this is done.

There's been some hilariously bad reporting, such as the BBC initially reporting that the so called 'Jellyfish' crop circle (See photo on right) had caused £600,000 worth of damage! At most 2 tonnes of crop was actually flattened, the current grain price is around £120 per tonne so that's £240 of crop, quite a bit short of the stated £600,000. Great reporting from the BBC. Admittedly they have now revised that figure down to £600 in the article - which is still too high - after I pointed out their howler.

Not only that:
Obvious hoax! You can see the parallel 'plank' marks all around the design!
Could the "believers' please explain WHY the original furrow paths were NOT erased by the "aliens"?
I mean, they are OBVIOUS within the design. Still there. WHY couldn't this "incredible technology" employed by the "aliens" erase those pre-existing signs of the furrows??
BECAUSE it wasn't done by "aliens"!!!
A bit of rationality check is in order, here.

They're already flattened. Common sense, you're lacking it.

Hey man, I wouldn't like to get too involved but have a look at this site.
www.circlemakers.org...
Many people wont admit it or come forward and claim these designs because It's actually illegal, It's criminal damage to go onto fields and create these designs.

I wasn't claiming that every crop circle ever made is actually made by a guy with a wooden board.
I think you may have misunderstood my post.
Looks pretty cool, must have taken a few guys to do this one.
There are a few groups that do these and have come up with some pretty nice designs before.... I do like this one though, I'm sure the farmer doesn't (or prob does because of the publicity) but I think it's cool.
So your position of "Show me footage of people making them" can be turned around to "show me aliens/plasma/balls of light making them"
