[[Doug Bower]] does not believe crop circles have any significance despite their astonishing circular [[symmetry]]. In contrast, some people believe that the crop designs are messages from alien spacecraft. Some maintain that the [[alien]]s are trying to communicate with us using ancient [[Sumer]]ian symbols or symbolic representations of alien [[DNA]]. Those who engage in such serious study and theorizing about crop circles are known as ''cereologists'' (after [[Ceres]], the Roman goddess of [[agriculture]] and [[fertility]]) or croppies. <ref> [http://www.skepdic.com/cropcirc.html crop "circle"] </ref> Crop circles have been found around the world, including in ancient civilizations in [[Europe]], in [[Aztec]] fields, and in modern times in the [[United States]], [[Canada]], [[Australia]], and [[Russia]].
