Uhmm.. don't think so somehow - almost all the circles were produced
by genuine Brits. Call them "hoaxers" if you like - the people
who made them have never made any particular claims - they just make
them and stand back to see what people imagine when they see them!

(Just to put this in perspective, I pointed out that they were probably
man-made in a radio broadcast way back in 1986, it didn't depend on
Doug and Dave's claims to "discredit" them.)
