In the summer of 1978 an English man named Steven was driving his tractor through a field of wheat when he discovered something strange. Some of his wheat was lying on the ground. The flattened wheat formed(形成)a circle about six meters across. Around this circle were four smaller circles of flattened wheat.

There years later a farmer who lived nearby discovered almost the same circles in one of his fields. These circles were larger—nearly 15 meters across. That same year, another English farmer discovered three circles of flattened wheat on his lined—one large circle between two small circles. During the following years, farmers in England found circles in their fields more and more often.

The circles are called“crop circles” because they usually appear in fields of Wheat or com. The wheat in the circles lies on the ground but is never broken; it keeps on growing, and the farmers can later harvest it. Farmers always discover the crop circles in the morning, so the circles probably form at night. They appear only in the months from May to September. What causes the crop circles?

At first, people thought that some kids were making them as a joke, or that farmers were making them to attract tourists. (In fact, in 1991, two men said they made the circles themselves, but many scientists don’t believe them. )People tried to copy them: They tried to make circles exactly like the ones the farmers had found. They couldn’t do it. They couldn’t enter a field of wheat without leaving tracks, and they couldn’t flatten the wheat without breaking it.

Several times people reported seeing strange objects near the fields where crop circles later appeared. Many people believe that these crop circles are the messages sent by living things from outer space(外屋空间)or the marks left by their spaceships.
