Most recently, Queen guitarist and astrophysicist Brian May sparked some debate on Instagram after he managed to capture a photograph of an intriguing formation in a field near Marlborough, England.

The pattern is quite intricate, sporting an octagonal outer frame and a sawblade-shaped interior.

"Notice anything unusual here in the English countryside ?" he wrote. "I never spotted a crop circle myself before. So probably always a bit sceptical about them.

"But yesterday, flying back from our production rehearsal space - flying over a location not far from Marlborough - there was this."
