When was the earliest recorded crop circle (or roughly what time)?
Is there a place in ancient history and crop circles or are they relatively new?

This might help six...

Earliest known/recorded:

the anomalies of crop circles

medway crop circle

Thank you.

Thank you Rebel great link

Rebel,

I'd seen the "mowing devil" before, but the 9th Century Lyons thing I was unaware of. Do you have anything that might indicate that this story is in any way factual at all? All I could find was:

and

I'm sure you understand that my feeling for now is that a couple of claims on the internet does not a factual story make.

Got anything else on this?

BTW, in the same search I found a page that has a British expert saying that 17 years of research has shown that 80% of crop circles are definately man made.

Harte

I missed you!

No sorry Harte & i hear ya, a few claims on the net don't really do it for me either, but six asked the question and i provided the first couple of 'many' links in regards to the earliest known and recorded CCs.
Hey if you know something i/we don't do tell, some of these CCs are pretty awesome?!

lol!... i'm not biting into this debate on what so called experts say either, but only that they've been wrong before. They been proven and disproven as man made that many times over the years it's enough to make a bloke a little loco.
But having said that i would really like to see how the so called experts prove conclusively beyond doubt how 'most' of these massive & very complex 'man made' patterns appear virtually over night, thats if in fact hoaxes are involved ?

Heres a couple more... most of the sites vary having them dating back from as early as 1590's right thru to to the early 1920's... HOLD IT!... i think i hear the Twilight Zone theme music coming on.

laterrrrrr ...

Rebel,

Thanks for the effort. Allow me to say here that I'm less than convinced.

Harte

Far as I know it hasn't been discussed yet, but I've always wondered if another aspect of my own people's medicine wheels created several thousand years ago in various parts of North America could have aided in attempting to communicate with these entities. Here's a few examples:

Your most welcome Harte, & allow me just to say i wish you all the very best, take good care & god bless.
