Default Crop Circles from BBC helicopter footage

The author admits that there has never been any evidence for circles
related to tornadoes or whirlwinds. Few remain stationary anyway. So
would leave an untidy linear design. A brief but exciting 20ft high
"twister" in a crop right outside our garden resulted in no visible
change on the ground despite considerable airborne debris. The vast
majority of circles are strangely localised to circles of hoaxers in
the west of England. Though I'd be fascinated to see exactly how they
manage a complex design.
