[[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 the [[United States]], [[Canada]], [[Australia]], and [[Russia]].

Dr. [[Eltjo Haselhoff]] has written a comprehensive book on crop circles, including [[mathematical]] [[analysis]] and field research.<ref>Deepening Complexity of Crop Circles: Scientific Research and Urban Legends,
Eltjo H. Haselhoff. Book description available from [http://www.northatlanticbooks.com/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9781583940464 the publisher] and [http://www.ufoevidence.org/books/book14.htm UFO evidence booklist]</ref> He argues that most crop circles, including some reported hundreds of years ago, were almost surely not made by human means, citing a higher design complexity and strange bends in the plants.<ref>http://www.greatdreams.com/crop/hoax/hoax.htm</ref>
