“I am the co-author of the first book written on Crop Circles and several others since, written on the subject of crop circles and have spent 26 years travelling the world researching them. I owe a great deal to the efforts of Mark and Stuart at the Crop Circle Connector for the excellent work they do. Colin Andrews www.ColinAndrews.net”

“I co-authored the first book on the crop circle subject, 'Circular Evidence' back in the 80s and invented the new term 'Crop Circles'. There is no one to match the hard work and dedication to communicate the subject via the Internet than Mark and Stuart at the Crop Circle Connector. As deeply as I am still involved in ongoing research, with many contacts around the world, the primary incoming feed of data, comes from The Crop Circle Connector.
Congratulations to Mark and Stuart with a big thank you for an excellent resource.

“Well if Bristol is the HUB of Crop Circles, at least we ought to have our own Crop Circle somewhere in the City, so can I please appeal to the Parks Department people (do they read this?) to leave a large area of the grass on the Downs uncut next year, so our locals can create our own Crop Circle right here in the heart of Bristol.
It'll be relatively near the Student's Hall of Residences, so I'm sure we'd get some great designs flattened there :-)”
