The ‘International Crop Circle Archive’, led by German researcher ANDREAS MÜLLER, has released its annual crop circle figures for 2001…


Based on the records collected and complied by ICCA, the International Crop Circle Archive, in 2001, 197 different crop circle formations were discovered world-wide.

Compared to the year before, in which the number was 275, we had about 30% less formations. The reason for this decrease may lie in the cold winter and the wet and rainy spring 2000/2001 in Europe. Some also refer to Foot & Mouth disease as a possible explanation why, suggesting that less hoaxers went into the field. It is the view of ICCA that this is not really valid, as we have to note the fact that in the two previous years we were blessed with an unusual and obvious high number of formations (1999 = 241) and that there were other previous years with less formations than in 2000, with no F&M crisis out there.

One should also not forget, that to ask each year for new records in number, size and complexity might be a more human wish, having probably not much to do with the real phenomenon’s background or intentions.
