In September 2000 I received a remarkable book from Germany. It was a beautifully laid out volume about the crop circles written and compiled by Bertold Zugelder, a graphic design student, as his graduation submission. He was to be awarded an A+ for the work, but much more important for us was the fact that this lovely book foretold Bertold’s initiation of cropcircle-archive.com (which is now cropcirclecenter.com) the most assiduous and...

The wonderful Ross Holcombe writes: “I started to document what I call “expanded” formations a few years ago. I hadn’t added 2011 yet, so went back and added those in. My total...
