They're cropping up again

WILTSHIRE looks set to become a crop-circle hotspot again this year.

Two of the mysterious circles have been pictured in fields around the ancient village of Avebury. One of them is believed to have been made during last weekend's Summer Solstice.

Francine Blake, co-ordinator of the Wiltshire Crop Circle Study Group, said it is further proof that pranksters are not responsible.

"With the amount of activity around Avebury last weekend I am sure someone would have spotted them," she said.

"Tests have shown that it takes hours for people to make high quality circles and to get it right you need machinery, including cranes."

One of the circles ­ at East Field in Alton Barnes (pictured) ­ is thought to have appeared on Sunday.

The second appeared at a location known locally as Honey Street, close to Alton Barnes, on June 16.

"They are usual patterns, which is typical of crop circles," said Mrs Blake.

"Some summers we can get one circle a day and each one is different."

An average of 50 crop circles are recorded in Wiltshire every year with 1999 being the most prolific when 70 were recorded
