The watched the news, only to find out that crop circles were popping up all over the world and that extraterrestrials are the ones responsible. Fear of this being true, the Hess family had to take immediate action. (Signs, 2002) Crop circles are areas of grain, or similar crop that have been flattened to form various patterns. They first appeared in the late 1970’s (www.wordiq.com). The original phenomenon of circles in crops has been happening for many years. Many books have been published about crop circles and, of course, the tabloid press.
