Crop formation, Hungerford, Berkshire

Aerial view of a crop formation near Hungerford, Berkshire, England. Crop formations are patterns of flattened plants in crops such as wheat or barley. They started appearing frequently in the mid-1980s in south-west England. Their cause is unknown. Many theories exist, ranging from science-based physical explanations such as the " plasma vortex" theory based on the phenomenon of electrohydrodynamics (EHD) to unorthodox suggestions that they are created by extraterrestrial intelligences. 2 circles linked by long sinuous channel

EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial view captures a mesmerizing crop formation near Hungerford, Berkshire, England. The intricate pattern of flattened plants in the wheat or barley crops leaves us in awe and wonder. Crop formations like these started appearing frequently in the mid-1980s in south-west England, leaving scientists puzzled about their origin. The cause behind these enigmatic creations remains unknown, giving rise to numerous theories that span from scientific explanations to unorthodox suggestions. Some propose the "plasma vortex" theory based on electrohydrodynamics (EHD), suggesting a physical phenomenon as the source. Others dare to venture into more unconventional realms by proposing that extraterrestrial intelligences are responsible for crafting such intricate designs. In this particular print, we see two circles linked by a long sinuous channel, adding an element of intrigue and complexity to the overall composition. The precision and symmetry exhibited within this crop formation leave us questioning whether it is purely natural or if there is an intelligent force at play. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by Science Photo Library, we find ourselves drawn into the mysterious world of crop formations. It serves as a reminder of how much there still is left for humanity to uncover and understand about our environment and its hidden wonders.
