Crop circles are large geometric patterns that appear in fields of crops, usually corn (because cornfields are creepy), and are created by flattening the stalks in such a way that each individual one remains undamaged. They are usually presented as being paranormal or supernatural in origin, with the most common explanation being that they were created by extraterrestrials, although the reasons behind why aliens visiting Earth would want to do such a thing varies. This area is a staple of publications such as Fortean Times. In fiction, the question of who's going to pay for the vandalized crops never seems to arise. Not to be confused with crop rotation. Compare/contrast Aliens Steal Cattle, a much more comedic way for aliens to attack a farm, First Contact Farmer, where farmers are the first people aliens meet and Circle of Standing Stones, another circular formation that is quite often attributed to otherworldly origins. |

Taken: In "Acid Tests", Owen Crawford, his son Eric and Marty Erickson investigate a crop circle in a cornfield in eastern Indiana as the colonel believes that it may be one of a series of landing strips that the aliens placed around the world in preparation for their invasion. He stakes his career on it and asks Richard Nixon to personally inspect the site. Nixon instead sends Toby Woodruff of the Department of Defense and Ted Olsen of the NSA. While observing the crop circle in a helicopter, Crawford and the others see another in the vicinity. It is in the shape of a peace symbol and the word "Howdy" written beside it. As a result, Crawford's career is ruined. He later learns that it was a prank orchestrated by Tom, a leading debunker, in revenge for Crawford breaking his mother Sally's heart and kidnapping his younger half-brother Jacob in 1959. | |

Crop circles appear in the Past Doctor Adventures novel The Algebra of Ice, except they're not circles, since the conceptual aliens attempting to break through are based on rational mathematical concepts. The Doctor is able to put a Spanner in the Works by adding an actual circle to their nice straight lines, which puts the irrational pi into the equations. | |

Crusade: One episode featured a very strange variant, where an alien government, which had picked up radio transmissions from 1960s - era Earth, decided to fake a conspiracy that humans were visiting their planet and manipulating their government, in order to distract the public from blaming their own leaders, who were actually behind their problems. Part of their disinformation campaign involved faking sightings of humans in NASA - style spacesuits, rockets and blimps, and even creating patterns in crop fields in the form of Earth symbols like the American flag. | |

When they leave at the end of the episode, Mulder and Scully come to a large Crop Circle in the field. It's implied it's a print of their spaceship. "all things": Agent Mulder plans a trip to England to investigate a case of highly complex formations of Crop Circles that keep appearing in a pattern. Agent Scully is of course not interested in tracking down some sneaky farmers who happened to ace geometry in high school. |

In Universe at War, Hierarchy Glyph Carvers can create crop circles by carving out glyphs in the ground (not necessarily in corn crops). These are actually "bar codes" which the orbiting motherships scan and drop/teleport in the appropriate buildings/walkers.

In Lords and Ladies (of the Discworld universe), the impending visitation of the elves causes crop circles to spontaneously generate in everything from an herb garden to a handful of seeds sprouting in a damp cloth and even Archchancellor Ridcully's "crop" of hair.

In Stolen Skies, crop circles are genuine phenomena created by the same aliens responsible for UFO sightings — at least, the ones that aren't being faked by the disinformation division of US military intelligence to confuse the issue. The nature of UFOs and the reason why they create crop circles (or equivalents in areas with no crops) when they touch Earth is central to the story. | |

SpongeBob SquarePants: In the episode "Sandy's Rocket", one of the points SpongeBob brings up about the existence of aliens is "Those mysterious circles that pop up in kelp fields overnight" and then freaks out when he notices a circle in the sand (which he made while pacing around Sandy) "AHH! There's one now!" In "Farmer Bob", while helping Farmer Jenkins harvest his kelp patch, Patrick accidentally causes the tractor to go out of control. Later on, it's revealed that the tractor had made crop circles that translated to aliens as an invitation to Jenkins' barnyard hoedown. Patrick reveals he has a license to make crop circles. |

In the Doctor Who episode "Let's Kill Hitler", Amy and Rory contact the Doctor by making a crop circle of his name when he wasn't answering his phone. Which does summon the Doctor with an exasperated "Seriously?!" while holding up an aerial picture in the following day's newspaper. Rory studies it and points out a line they didn't make and look up to see a car coming right at them. The BBC One ident "Lawn Mowers" (one of the Circles series) has some Stepford Suburbia housewives mowing their lawns; an overhead shot shows they've created an alien symbol in the grass. Interestingly, it was one of the idents interrupted by the Doctor in pre-publicity for "The Day of the Doctor", and the symbol does look vaguely Gallifreyan. |

Gerry Anderson's New Captain Scarlet had some of these show up in one episode, apparently as a side effect of some Mysteron technology. Complete with some visual effects for their spontaneous creation. | |

One episode of Kingdom (2007) features a very elaborate crop circle appearing in a Norfolk field, which draws attention from local sci-fi fans who hold an impromptu sci-fi con on the spot. It was drawn by one fan's son with a golf cart in an attempt to get his father's attention near the anniversary of his mother's death, and the farmer drew a second one to keep the con going. | |

In Spore, during the Space Stage, you can use Crop Circles to "communicate" with more primitive (meaning "not in space yet") species. There doesn't seem to be any real game effect, but they look cool. | |

Arly Hanks: In Martians in Maggody, the appearance of crop circles in moonshiner Raz Buchanon's field draws a horde of UFO fanatics to the little Arkansas town, eager to photograph (for $10 a head, payable to a grinning Raz) this "inexplicable" phenomenon. | |

Midsomer Murders: Feature prominently in "Electric Vendetta", with the murder victims found with blackened fingers and wounds around their kidneys. The circles were made by the local UFO believer who also dumped an accidentally-electrocuted thief in the middle, starting the episode. He just wanted other people to accept the existence of aliens (didn't stop him from ending up in one as a corpse). | |
