All of a sudden there’s an absolutely enormous Firefox Logo Crop Circle carved into this field in Oregon, where previously there was nothing! Are aliens telling us their browser preferences? Or has Internet Explorer finally been eradicated from the Internet?

In fact this 67 metre wide icon was created by the Oregon State University Linux Users Group to celebrate the launch of Firefox version 2, and to the south of the logo you can see that they’ve also arranged their vehicles spell out “FX2“.

You can read more about the project at the Oregon State University site, and congratulations to Jon Hicks – who is now the designer of the world’s largest application icon!

It doesn’t get much nerdier than this: a Giant Pac-Man, complete with dots for him to eat, makes the ultimate crop circle.

We’re actually quite familiar with Pac-Man here at GGSS towers having seen him before in field irrigation and last year we took time off our busy schedules to create a Snow Pac-Man Level.

Even if you’re also familiar with Pac, I’d suggest a quick read of “Ghosts Vs. Monsters” on the Wikipedia page, hilarious!

Thanks: Justin Flavin

More crop-circles have been found! This time half-way between Leeds and Sheffield, person or beings unknown have decided to create a rather complex star-shaped impression in these crops. Why here? Well, it’s right next to the M1 motorway of course! I imagine even aliens want the most “bang for their buck”.

Our aliens have also had a go at a random collection of (not very circular) circles, and er, a giant bone? At least I hope that’s what they were trying to draw…

Update: Jeff from the comments points us slightly north-west to see yet another crop circle, this time a slightly faded, pentagram-shaped one.

Thanks to Michael.

Here at Google Sightseeing one of the things people most often ask us to post, are your common-or-garden alien crop circles. Never liking to disappoint our readers, GGSS is proud to present… a whole slew of possibly alien crop circles!

You lucky people.

First up is this bizarre collection of lines and circles near Uckfield, East Sussex, England. At first I wondered if perhaps this was a chalk figure of some kind, but I couldn’t uncover anything, so… it must have been aliens!

Next, over to Italy for some sort of Biohazard warning symbol. This one is definitely drawn into the crops, but what are the aliens trying to tell us?

Finally, here in Billingly, South Yorkshire is the best crop circle we’ve ever seen on Google Local. Aliens. No doubt about it.

Hmmmm. Aliens who speak English… profanely. And I think the alien responsible might have been called “Eddie“…
