A crop circle expert from Australia believes that he has evidence to suggest that they aren’t.
While there is no doubt that a lot of crop circles are hoaxes, the jury is still out on whether every single crop circle can be attributed to people with planks of wood and a lot of spare time. Researcher Greg Jefferys claims to have uncovered evidence that crop circles have been appearing in fields as far back as 1880, a fact that he believes proves that the phenomenon pre-dates circle hoaxers.
“This discovery proves that claims by various artists to be the sole creators of crop circles are themselves a hoax,” he said. “I hope this discovery will stimulate renewed interest in crop circles by serious scientific researchers who have been fooled by the hoax claims.”
