... for me, would include these:
..........
The 2002 Alien Face formation.
First of all, if done by aliens, why the 'scary face' image. Why, on any number of levels. If they were benevolent, slow-moving 'Prime Directive' aliens following the agenda in 'Childhood's End' and 'Contact,' why reveal their image at all at this point?
Why the stern face? Certainly such aliens, at this point, would be versed in human-oriented body language and facial expression. We don't want to anthropomorphize, but neither should we assume that the Blues and the Greys are idiots. :- ) They might as well have put fangs on this thing.
Remember the Balok dummy from Star Trek?

The disk is obviously an info-code, and when decoded in ASCII it reads,
The sheer size of the pattern creates difficulty for those imagining that a handful of hoaxers created it. This pattern is the size of a cruise ship. Had one (huge) circle been created every 120 seconds, it would have taken more time to create than darkness was available.

This crop circle (Barbury Castle, June 2008) encoded the value of Pi to the 10th decimal place, and finished with " ... ":
If you're having a bit of trouble with the encoding, here's a fine diagram from sciencepunk.com:
.....................
Some circles contain other information, such as (Earth-bound) historical information, names, dates, etc.
Dr. Gerald Hawkins offered a rapier summary:
"Beware the bearers of FALSE gifts & their BROKEN PROMISES. Much PAIN but still time. (Damaged Word). There is GOOD out there.We OPpose DECEPTION. Conduit CLOSING (BELL SOUND)".Per this message, the Greys :- ) are trying to warn us about the Blues. Very cheesy, to me. Maybe it hits you differently. I don't know whether this formation had the elongated nodes, the magnetic fields and magnetized iron with it. If not, would assume it's a hoax, and I don't buy it, in any case. But that's awfully nice imagery to put in crops over the course of a night. Great puzzle. ................ Gerald Hawkins had a Ph.D. in radio astronomy and ran one of the best Circles sites. He pointed out the geometric theorems latent in this crop circle: ... as Hawkins explains,
This combines the side of a hexagon, OB, with the side of a pentagon, AB, to get the radius of circle 1, OA. From Ptolemy's theorem of chords, with G equal to the golden mean and OF=1, we can prove that: 20A= G+AB (square root 3), or OA= 1,82709. Therefore by Rule 2, circles 1 and 3 give a ratio of 3.338, note A in the second octave. By crop circle theorem 4 the hexagon circles 1 and 2 give a diatonic ratio of 4/3, note F. Is the raised circle a clue? D is the center of the arc of the crescent E. Angle CFD is 72 degrees, so CD is also the side of the pentagon. This example of mathematical art gives the same diatonics as T448, notes F and A2, but the design is better. The diatonic circles now go through the tips of the moon, not the center, and the accuracy is 0.1%, not the previous 0.5%. Artistic as it is, the pattern contains math, and no previous artist has used mathematics as a theme. Ptolemy's theorem of 150 AD is a prehistoric landmark, because it is the foundation of trigonometry.Some crop circles have presented undiscovered geometric theorems. Many relate to the musical diatonic scale and present interesting puzzles for mathemeticians. ................. This crop circle (Wiltshire, August 2001) measured 800 feet across and contained 409 circles.
If crop circles are made by hoaxers, then they should stop doing it, because they are breaking the law and damaging the food supply. If they are made by UFO aliens, they shouldn't give us back the dates of our trips to Mars and the names of the men from the Titanic era - famous, clever, but now forgotten. If some are transcendental, the power behind it should realize that our culture is not now willing to accept transcendental happenings. But if they are indeed transcendental, then society will have to make a big adjustment in the years ahead.For those who suspect transcendental beings are responsible for the crop circles -- as Dr. Hawkins apparently did, before his death in 2003 -- then the circles could be interpreted as a type of "balancing-of-the-faith-scale" in a time of increasing skepticism and unbelief. According to this interpretation, some circles could also be done by malevolent transcendental beings in an effort to "muddy the water" or create competing messages and interpretations. ........... On the other hand, there have certainly been instances in which crop circle "experts" have declared circles unfakeable, and then been embarrassed by video footage of the hoaxers creating them. This permits the hoaxers the gloating that they had hoped to set up all along: "Why are people so ready to believe in the paranormal simply because they don't yet have the explanation for a phenomenon?" It's easy to imagine skeptics hoaxing scales on a massive scale, for precisely this motivation. However, they have not yet demonstrated the ability to flatten plants without killing them, to leave no footprints, to leave iron imbedded in the soil, etc. ............. As mentioned earlier, I personally find every explanation unlikely, which is why the circles form such an entertaining puzzle. Everything about them is not possible. Those circles which seem least possible, are in some ways the most interesting.
