Stonehenge Crop Circle, July 13

A 200-feet diameter crop circle appeared overnight in Wiltshire, UK, across the road from Stonehenge on July 13.

The formation is one of several that cropped up in Wiltshire this July, and is made of different shades of wheat.

The design consists of three circles, each with half green and half wheat colors. The 12 sections of the circle make it look like a dartboard in design.

As for other crop circles, the debate continues as to whether it is man-made or caused by some other force like geomagnetism or even aliens.

Crop circle enthusiasts argue that there is not enough time during a summer night for humans to build such a gigantic and detailed design.

However, cynics believe these circles are designed by computer scientists and then built by a team of volunteers.

Other formations that appeared in the county this month include a triquetra or trinity knot design at Milk Hill near Alton Barnes on July 6, and separate double spirals at Chaddenwick Hill and Windmill Hill, both also on July 13.
