It's very interesting...
The documentary I watched the other night, they had a mathematician draw up a complex plan, and then they had some expert crop circle makers go out and try to make it..
Their was only about 5 of them, they could ONLY use natural light (moon), they could only do it during night time under the sort of conditions that all these other circles are made i.e. no farmer is allowed to see them...They had to be out of there by sunrise and leave no trace of themselves..
Well first of all I didn't think the design the matmatician gave them was THAT complex, but it involved a lot of different sized circles touching each other, and hence would need very precise measurements otherwise if one ciricle was out, the whole design would screw up..
But they managed to do it pretty well... It didn't look quite as clean as the ones I posted pictures of, but given the time frame they had, it was very very impressive... I would think that the "people"who made the ones I posted may have had more time (these people did it on the shortest night of the year), they probably had a LOT more people, and a lot more time to plan it all out so they all knew their job immediately...
How they kept from leaving traces was they moved along the existing straight lines which you can see it the top pictures. If they had two circles which didn't touch each other, they would step over the crops to leave a gap...
Basically what I took from it is, given enough time, enough planning, and being very careful, humans could make just about any design.... One question has always been, how would they have time to do it in a single night, but given these guys made a pretty decent one in a short night, and had little time to plan, I think it's possible to make just about anything if you are prepared...
