I visited the crop circle at Rudston over the weekend these are the best photographs i could get as the circle is situated high on an hillside.

From a distance the formation looks quite complex and pretty big but on closer inspection it is poorly laid and messy with most of the crop recovering. I also noticed that it looked to be a lot older than the discovery date suggests however the farmer who was in the field at the time confirmed the discovery date as July 9th. He said that the circle wasn't there on Tuesday evening (8th July) but was there for all to see at 7:10 am Wednesday (9th July).  He was under the impression that people had made the circle and wouldn't entertain any other theories. He also added that he had not contacted the local press as he didn't want to encourage the perpetrators.

The village of Rudston is said to be the oldest village in England with settlements dating back to prehistoric times. The tallest standing stone in England (26 ft high) is situated in the local church yard. The crop circle can be seen from the megalith location and all around the Rudston village area.
