A crop circle is a geometric pattern made by crushed crops in a field. They typically appear in wheat, grass or oats fields and frequently in England. Crop circles have existed as early as the thirteenth century.[Citation Needed]
Some believe that the crop designs are messages from alien spacecraft. Some maintain that the aliens are trying to communicate with us using ancient Sumerian symbols or symbolic representations of alien DNA. Those who engage in such serious study and theorizing about crop circles are known as cerealogists (after Ceres, the Roman goddess of agriculture and fertility) or croppies. [1]
