[Image: Olivier Morel, Copyright 2009-- displayed at Crop Circle Connector]The crop circle season over in England is off to a wild start this year-- there have been no less than eight large and intricate formations in flowering rapeseed (canola) crop so far. Up to this point, canola crop glyphs have been simple, small and few, but the current season has already broken any previous records for size, complexity and number of formations in this particular kind of crop.
The formation shown in the photo was reported on May 4th, and is over 600 feet long. Precision of design and detail in the formations so far this year is amazing, especially considering the brittle, breakable nature of the crop-- canola stems are 'crunchy' and snap off under any kind of mechanical pressure, such as people (supposedly) stomping the crop down with boards, or even simply walking on the already-downed crop as they visit a circle-- the stems in all the formations so far this year show completely smooth bending of the plant stalks, and the crop is laid down in ordered swirls with no breakage. There was also rain the night this formation appeared, but the downed crop is not muddy as it would be if people had stomped the plants flat with boots or boards in the bad weather.
If we are getting early-season glyphs of this magnitude in canola, I cannot wait until the wheat crop is mature enough for the later-season formations-- they are usually even more intricate, and I have no doubt this season will be spectacular!

That is an awesome Crop Circle! I also cannot wait to see what wonders this year's season shall hold!
Not sure if you've seen it yet or not (my guess is you have), but reguardless I happened to come across this great, 600ft Jellyfish Crop Circle and wanted to share it. What better place than here?

Enjoy!
Yes, it does seem to be an 'animal year' so far! Also, we are getting much more complex formations earlier in the season. The stuff that came down in the flowering canola crop this year was just flat-out amazing!
Peace,
