An elaborate pattern in flattened crops in a Wiltshire field has sparked fresh debate over one of rural Britain's most perplexing mysteries - crop circles. The formation, thought to be as long as a football pitch, appeared in a field near Silbury Hill over two nights at the beginning of August. Some say the pattern is made by mysterious forces and features symbols from the ancient Mayan civilisation which mark the beginning of a new world order. Others believe it is made by commercially-minded 'landscape artists'. The only 'new order', these sceptics say, will be from publishers wanting photographs ofthe design.
So who is right? Is it possible that someone or thing is trying to communicate with us using imagery from a culture more than 1,000 years old.

Francine Blake, a crop circle expert from Wiltshire, believes the crop formation indicates the world is going to change dramatically. "The Moon has a cycle around the Earth, the Earth has a cycle around the Sun, the Solar System has a cycle in the Milky Way," Ms Blake says.

A new era is starting for the solar system." Ms Blake likens the changes ahead to that of the fall of some of the great empires. "Just like the era for the Romans stopped and something else started, we are going from era to era and this is the end of one of them," she said. Crop circles have become a common sight in Britain since the 1970s, when they began to appear in significant numbers in fields, mainly in the south of England. There is widespread debate over when the first crop circle appeared. Some experts say the first sighting was in Lyon in 815AD. Others refer to a 17th Century legend called the 'Mowing of the Devil', when a devilishentity. ...
