Crop circles appear at Goodwood before race
England has seen more than its fair share of crop circles over the years, and the "mysterious" impressions have found their way to Goodwood right in time for its 10th Revival. The crop circles were found in the grass at the West Sussex circuit during final preparations for the Revival, which runs today through Sunday. The Goodwood Revival features vehicles from the 50s and 60s in a retro race, along with period dress and a variety of festivities.
Several aircraft from many different decades have flown safely above the Goodwood course in past years, but in 2003 there was a reported UFO siting at the race and the photographs of the sighting were the talk of the Internets after the alleged incident. We're pretty skeptical about the crop circles, so we're guessing the marketing types over at Goodwood wanted to get one more media push in advance of the 10th anniversary of a very cool weekend event. We would like to see the event in person, but short of little green men beaming us over there, we'll have to sit this one out.

That's not a crop circle, that's an alien footprint

I'm honestly surprised no one has blamed the Bush administration.
Honestly.

Some lame crop circles. Cooler when people go through the trouble to make insane designs with concentric circles and all that good stuff

That's the production UFO record. The modded out race UFO's have done it in 1:14:59 as far as I know.

If aliens are real, why would they be making circles in grass?

I pity the fool who doesn't appreciate the fine art of making circles in grass.

Why do these stories make news? How many times have kids/college students been caught making these things?
Just a cheap attempt at some publicity.

"talk of the Internets"
I guess in a different context thats funny... like chatting with a buddy or a Gizmodo story. But seriously autoblog? Leave the colloquialisms to the posters, dang.
