Jellyfish crop circle Jellyfish crop circle The Turf War Behind the Monster Jellyfish Crop Circle by Vera H-C Chan 38 hours ago + (Submit) 1,377 Votes Have aliens left another calling card? Conspiracists -- and Brits -- are all atwitter about a crop circle that appeared at an Oxfordshire barley field. Instead of circles, the creators have become far more artistic (or they've figured out how to use Earth landmowers). Previous lawn artworks have appeared in the form of birds, butterflies, and, last year, the first 10 digits of pi (you know, 3141592654). OK, say this grassy rendering isn't an alien self-portrait. tramping over their poor crops for a look-see, and instead get a helicopter and hover. The Spences won't be asking the local cops to track down the renegade crop artists. As if earthling law enforcement has jurisdiction over alien jellyfish.
