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.
