Covering an enormous stretch of wheat field, the 400ft pattern, which is made up of geometric lines and circles, emerged overnight.
The large beautiful design has baffled experts, delighted believers and made most everyone wonder if extraterrestrials had a hand in its creation.

| Mysterious: The first crop circle of the year has appeared in a field near Blandford Forum in Dorset sparking interest in who or what has created it. |
While many believe crop circles are created by local pranksters, some think the mysterious shapes are evidence of aliens, including amateur pilot and crop circle enthusiast Matthew Williams, 43, who said: ‘Whoever, or whatever, created the shape must have been there all night - you have to really admire their handiwork.'

| July is the prime month for crop circles because it is when wheat is harvested. Wheat is the easiest crop to work with |
 |
| Illegal: Farmers aren't a fan of crop circles because they destroy the crops. Matthew Williams was fined £100 by magistrates in 2000 after admitting causing damage |
