Crop circle
Definition
A complex geometric pattern or design made by flattening crop stalks (such as wheat, barley, or rye), primarily observable from an elevated vantage point. Popularly known as crop circles, these structures are mostly human-made hoaxes created overnight, although they have generated numerous pseudoscientific or ufological theories.
