I, for one, welcome our new ET Jellyfish overlords.
Actually, it is very pretty as artwork.

I think it's obvious that aliens are not drawing pictures in our fields, rather that Mother Nature -- like many of those hippy nature chicks -- is into tattoos.

But it is pretty cool.

Swift is banned for being a traitor to Earth and welcoming every would be alien overlord that comes our way.
Oh, wait, wrong thread.
The article mentions a 'crop circle expert'. Is there a crop circle graduate program somewhere? :P

The recession has hit the aliens as well. Across the gulf of space, they're sending us their unemployed graphic artists.

I can remember the days back when crop circles had the basic decency to actually be circles. I used to be able to watch them forming from my window too. All it took was a constantly shifting wind and eventually a stalk somewhere would break and the weight of that one would break its neighbor and so on, and the destruction would spread out in a neat circle, or a blob. But circles were quite common.
Bad Post-Doc
Almost certainly.
I also note from the links on that page that Spandau Ballet is getting back together!

Martin Spandau was in a ballet? Was that before or after Space 1999?
Order of Kilopi
I know this much is true. Or not.

With a pill on his tongue.

And here, I was thinking that almost all ballets involved spandex.

Smart-mouthed comment 1 - I didn't think jellyfish were capable of making crop circles.
Smart-mouthed comment 2 - I didn't know famers grew jellyfish and that people made circles in them.
Smart-mouthed comment 3 - I didn't know jellyfish crew crops.
Order of Kilopi
...4 -
I didn't know jellyfish knew how to crop a circle into an arc.
BTW: Spelling error in yours. A crew crop is a type of jellyfish haircut.

This link has changed to a video showing MORE circles.Just bringing this to your attention. It's quite a work of art.

Very pretty. Someone has a lot of time on their hands. Hope the farmer didn't lose too much value on the crop, though. Farmer margins are pretty tight.
Order of Kilopi
Is the proper term jellyfish or sea jellies?

Peanut butter fish are more interesting. Especially the chunky ones.

Oddly enough, I saw this on Pharyngula the other day. Odd because PZ is a bit too strident for me so I usually avoid going there. He's frequently not too safe for work, either, so I'd have to read him on the slow dial-up at home.
A circle it's not. A work of art, yes.

If two old drunks with wood planks made that in one night, in the dark, they might as well be aliens as far as Im concerned.
Order of Kilopi
that's not a jelly fish- that's a representation of the alien invasion fleet.
there are 4 of them in the lead hiding behind the Warp bubble, with a bunch of increasingly smaller ships trailing behind, each in their own force fields. the squigglies that everyone thinks are the tentacles (or whatever jellyfish have) represent the ships travelling thru warp space on their way here.
Order of Kilopi
I wonder if the farmers can charge for the right to take press photos. Then they could make up for any loss I suppose.
As above, so below

"Here's our plan for the secret invasion!"

Obviously a whistle-blow. At least we know there is a faction that's sympathetic to our resistance movement.
One thing I noticed about the design: every point that is a center of a circle is also in (or on the edge of) a flattened area. That's pretty smart, as it would otherwise be difficult to conceal the damage done by the person holding the cord at the center.
Clever, clever aliens.

perspective
Speculation on the dubious aliens origins not withstanding, every cropcircle i have ever seen was designed to convey a message - usually mathematical.
Mind you, these haven't always been accurate.
Yet ...whatever agent or agencies manufactured this particular 'circle' failed. While artistic in the extreme and a considerable in its breadth, their message has been overshadowed by exactly those things the mind of Man finds so easily absorbing. Patterns. The familiar. The easily recognizable.
What pray-tell becomes of it all if it is not in fact a jellyfish?

Oh no! Another animal crop circle.
This time it's a dragonfly.
From another paper:Mr Alexander, who has been studying crop circles with his wife for 15 years, added: 'People believe they will increase in frequency up to 2012 where there will be some kind of cataclysmic world event.'
Order of Kilopi
Oh, that's gorgeous. Well done, ya jokers. Very well done. Still, I'd approve of this art form a lot more if the circle makers would pony up some cash (anonymously) to make up the crop they've destroyed.
Order of Kilopi
Like when the world runs short on food because of extensive crop damage from vandals?
Order of Kilopi
I definitely admire their skill. Most of them are gorgeous.
