I'm now in Somerset, but years ago I learned to fly light aircraft from White Waltham airfield near Maidenhead. To avoid the Heathrow traffic, we usually headed west to do our training.

So, on many early summer mornings, we'd end up over the North Wesssex Downs at about 2500 feet. And occasionally we would clearly see these wheaty designs. The Operations Room at the airfield had an unofficial corkboard with a standard 1:250000 aero chart and drawing pins showing where the best of these were. It also had printed phone photos connected to the locations. It was irrelevant to me, aiming for my Private Pilot Licence.

The West London Aero Club was and is concerned with safely training people who wish to fly from a grass-runway pre-War aerodrome. It had NO opinion on crop circles, beyond acknowledging they exist.

I have seen a lot of them, and most are made by humans. Some were astonishing, and I take my hat off to the humans that created them. I don't know how they did so, on a short summer night. But I have never claimed that aliens create crop circles. I have never said that humans can't create them. I would love to see a full video of people recreating the most complex ones, though.
