[A cutting in the ms of a letter from The Guardian 19910107:[p]18 headed ‘Why the circles are not simply a load of old corn’, from Ralph Noyes,* Hon Secretary, Centre for Crop Circle Studies, 9 Oakley Street, London SW3 includes the following text highlighted in the ms: ‘Most simple “circles” are in fact ovals,** (a tiresome shape to manufacture); the crop is usually undamaged except for its swirled flattening; and often the swirled-down crops are plaited very complexly, sometimes in two distinct layers, one above the other.** In some of the more complex formations there are thin rings around the central disturbance,** not wider than six inches, but perfectly centred on the main circle.’]

*Sec[retary] of local S[ocial] D[emocratic] P[arty] [in our area of London] when [W] & I were members (we left**** c1982).
