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 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 cereologists (after Ceres, the Roman goddess of agriculture and fertility) or croppies. [1] Crop circles have been found around the world, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and Russia.
