In Popular Culture
The popularization of crop circles was mainly due to two different crop circles that had unusual circumstances surrounding them: the Julia set in Britain, and the Scorpio set in the Netherlands. The Julia set was discovered in 7 July 1996, near Stonehenge, formed by complex Julia set figures, appearing at some time between 5 PM and 5:30 PM, with no indication of what or who had caused it. The Scorpio was discovered in 1 August 2001, and cereologists claimed that it corrupted the photos in their digital cameras, and that they could detect ley lines via dowsing.

“The hatred of the youth culture for adult society is not a disinterested judgment but a terror-ridden refusal to be hooked into the, if you will, ecological chain of breathing, growing, and dying. It is the demand, in other words, to remain children.”
