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.) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Philip Taylor, Royal Greenwich Observatory, Madingley Road, CAMBRIDGE.
