First we had the jellyfish, then the dragonfly, then the fish.  Now the phoenix.  And please - no more emails telling me how easy it is to make crop circles.  I've been going in them since 1989; I've been in well over a hundred.  I studied them extensively for the dissertation of my Masters, spending weeks in the fields talking to shepherds, researchers, investigators, watchers and amateur hoaxers.  I participated in a hoax under conditions of anonymity and found myself appalled at what are supposed to be professional hoaxers.  I am as good as you get when it comes to an authority on crop circles, and it is clear to me that all of the crop circles in the UK this year are for real, it is impossible for humans to make these things.  The language the circlemakers are telling us is to step outside of the boundaries of learned communication into the unknown, the domain of the idea and vision.  To think outside of the box.  And to do it damn quickly, whilst we've still got the chance to do so.
