Origins of the term 'crop circle'

Latest comment: 2 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

'Circular Evidence' by Colin Andrews and Pat Delgado is given as the source of the term crop circle in this entry. Owning the book, I am unable to locate this reference. Can I suggest Paul Fuller and Jenny Randles' 'Controversy of the Circles' published by BUFORA in 1989 as a better option? It is available at https://thecroppie.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/buforacontroversy.pdf 2A00:23EE:2868:6A58:8146:3967:7A06:7A83 (talk) 13:11, 19 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

I think this word (and others historically used) could be added. Stjohn1970 (talk) 17:30, 7 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Oliver's Castle case

Latest comment: 2 months ago3 comments2 people in discussion

The case of Oliver's Castle in England (Wiltshire) in 1996 is quite unique and emblematic, showing the formation of a crop circle in a matter of seconds.^[1]^[2] ~2026-27280-82 (talk) 18:55, 8 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Daily Express is no reliable source, and BBC did not do any research, but just quoted a UFO freak (talking about hours, not seconds). --Hob Gadling (talk) 04:05, 9 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

I am adding a video from an independent third-party source: Oliver's Castle Crop Circle 1996 - The Original Footage on Vimeo.com of 24 January 2018.
