Top 5 Crop Circles of the Year (So Far)

The UK's crop circle season has been very active this year, so active, in fact, that cops in England are cracking down on the practice, reminding unauthorized crop circle makers that they are committing a crime, and asking farmers to keep an eye  out  for any trespassers.  What if some of the crop circle makers turn out to be extra terrestrials, though?

That said, here are the top five most amazing crop circles of 2017, so far:

5. June 17th: Cheesefoot Head, Hampshire

Could this crop circle be a symbol for the upcoming August 21st eclipse? That's what some people think, as the design appears  to represent the sun and the moon interconnected together.

In this 200-foot crop circle design, a viewer can easily see a six-petaled flower inside a circle. Could this be a symbol for the vitality or the circle of life somehow?

The eccentric shapes and mix of bright and dark colors in this crop circle design make it especially intriguing. The circle is located near the Hackpen White Horse, a beautiful and still-to-this-day unexplained "chalk hill figure of a white horse."

2. July 5th: Battlesbury Camp, Wiltshire

Apparently, this crop circle shows an ancient,  universal symbol called the "Celtic Shield Knot," which has the purpose of protection. Some online have  suggested this very precise design could be ET-made!

1. May 22nd: Dorset, England

Near the famous and potentially  ancient Cerne Abbas Giant hill figure, which depicts a cave man with a club, a  new and similarly simple looking design has popped up. The modern-day crop circle shows a seemingly more evolved, glowing figure inside of two circles.

Do you think some or all of these crop circles could be made by aliens? Or are they just a fun thought-proving attraction? Do you have any crop circles you'd add to this list?
