Crop circles have puzzled people for decades, and the Wiltshire countryside — a rural county in southwest England known for its rolling farmland — has had plenty to puzzle over this summer as new formations kept appearing in the fields.
These designs are often symmetrical, intricate, and hard to explain. One of the most famous examples, known as the Galaxy, contained more than 400 interlocking circles and stretched roughly 780 feet — about two and a half soccer fields laid end to end.
Some crop circles are confirmed to be human-made. Others are harder to pin down: witnesses have reported some appearing within a matter of seconds, though these claims haven't been independently verified.
Wiltshire's landscape makes it a particular hotspot — open countryside and high viewpoints make circles easy to spot and photograph. Drones and social media have also made it possible to document circles almost anywhere, not just in traditional hotspots.
As striking as they are to look at, crop circles can be costly for the farmers whose fields they appear in, since the process damages crops. That's also why making one without the landowner's permission counts as criminal damage in the UK — the British legal term for intentionally damaging someone else's property, similar to vandalism or property destruction charges in the US.
In Musk Oxen Create a Circle of Safety, narrator Gordon Buchanan describes how white wolves separate a young musk ox calf from the herd, but it manages to stay on its feet long enough for the adults to come to its rescue. By forming a tight ring around the calf, the adult oxen scare off the wolves with their size and horns. This video is excerpted from BBC's Animal Babies, a heartwarming show that follows the first breaths, first steps, and first feeds of some adorable baby animals, revealing the challenges they face to survive in some of the toughest but most beautiful places on the planet.
In Weather Systems of the Globe, Sir David Attenborough describes air currents as they form Earth’s storms. Circle the globe to see hurricanes, sandstorms, monsoons, and tornadoes! This video is excerpted from BBC's Planet Earth, a breathtaking documentary series that highlights the natural wonders of our planet.
In How Dolphins in Florida Bay Hunt Together, narrator Sir David Attenborough describes bottlenose dolphins’ incredible way of hunting fish in Florida Bay! One dolphin takes charge, stirring up the seafloor to trap fish in a swirling circle. The fish panic and leap out of the water — straight into the mouths of the dolphins! This behavior is passed down through generations, showing how dolphins teach each other to survive in a unique environment. This video is excerpted from BBC's Life, a show that explores the remarkable strategies animals and plants use to ensure their survival.
In Uranus, a Boring Planet?, Professor Brian Cox explains what scientists have learned about Uranus, a planet described as featureless and boring. But Uranus does have a mystery! How did it end up tipped on its side with rings that circle it from top to bottom? This video is excerpted from BBC’s The Planets, a series that explores the dramatic lives of the eight planets in our Solar System.
In Can Oil and Conservation Coexist?, host Simon Reeve explores the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) in Alaska, where he visits the small coastal Iñupiat community of Kaktovik — the only settlement in this 19-million-acre wilderness. He investigates the heated debate over protecting the refuge vs. oil drilling, as the people explain how oil companies have brought life-changing benefits like running water, modern homes, and longer life expectancy. This video is excerpted from BBC’s The Americas With Simon Reeve, in which Simon Reeve explores the landscapes, cultures, and wildlife of North and South America.
Cut out the shapes and paste to make a picture. Choose from red circles, orange rectangles, yellow triangles, green quadrilaterals, blue pentagons, purple hexagons, and rainbow heptagons (that's a seven-sided figure!). Are there heptagons at your party?
