That's what so striking - the stalks are intact, bent at their nodes at 90-degree angles to the ground, and fused in this new position. Not crushed, broken, snapped or anything that you'd expect if humans did it. The "Doug and Dave" guys cited in this Smithsonian article never demonstrated their technique to outsiders, and their plank-and-rope technique is laughably crude as a mechanism for creating the best known circles.
I wish I knew how to post images, but if you GoogleImages "crop circle, Stonehenge, spiral", you can see what appeared overnight, literally across the street from one of England's most visited tourist attractions. Do you think those two retired farmers could have made this?
