About the Crop Circle Year BooksThe crop circle year books are carefully considered, beautifully designed books. Filled with stunning photography, including many full page landscape views of the crop circles along with overheads and detail shots – by Steve Alexander. The photography is accompanied by articles from Karen Alexander and incisive commentary text throughout. Our Year Books are our flagship product. Self published in small numbers (no big publisher or distributors), they come directly from us to you. Printed on satin finish paper, the materials used to produce these books are top quality. The covers are laminated with gold foil titles. Our books are true collector’s items, treasured by all those who have them. In fact they are generally considered to be the most important crop circle document of the year. Proceeds from the sales of these books go directly to fund our continuing coverage of the circles.

Crop Circle Greetings Cards, By Karen Alexander

A collection of six colourful cards featuring the much admired crop circle artwork of Karen Alexander. Taken from the original watercolour and ink paintings, which were all hand drawn using compass and straight-edge. The set features a collection of crop circles from the 2014 season. The location and year of the featured formation is detailed on the back of each card and the inside is left blank for your own message.

Each card measures 14 x 14cm and comes with its own envelope and is packaged inside a cellophane wrapper. These cards would make an ideal gift for someone, or can be sent to friends and family. They can also be framed or put in an album.

Thank you

All our work recording the crop circles is self-financed. The yearly cost of flights over the circles alone runs into many thousands of pounds. A flight costs between £400-£800. The sale of our photographs, Year Books and other items via our online shop helps to offset some of that cost, but with increasing overheads across the board of our activities it is becoming more and more difficult to find the finance we need to record the circles.

If you feel that you would like to make a donation towards our ongoing recording of the crop circles you can make a donation through our online shop. We would gratefully receive anything that you consider appropriate, no matter how small the amount.

Chilbolton radio telescope crop circle event in Hampshire, UK, 2001.
Image

On Tuesday 21st August 2001two new crop formations were reported near Chilbolton radio telescope in Hampshire, UK. Both were very impressive looking and consisted of a large number of small 'pixels', which when viewed from the air formed a recognisable shape - unlike many other crop formations.

One represented a 'human face' and the other resembled a radio transmission that SETI (the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) sent from the Arecibo radio telescope in 1974.

Many films have been made about the crop circles; often documentary-style overviews of the subject matter, or a particular season. However, our films offer something different. With no commentary and little narrative, our films are a visual feast of still images and stunning helicopter footage set to an atmospheric soundtrack – these films take you on a journey through the fields of southern England and in and around some of the best crop circles of the given year.
Please Support Us! How you Can Help...
Please help us raise money for our flights to record the crop circles in the UK...
 
We have always been committed to providing the best quality crop circle photography anywhere. Not only as a record of the phenomenon as it unfolds, but also as a legacy for future generations.  High quality images are essential for the future and not only will hold more information, but will also show the magnificence of the crop circles in the landscape and hopefully record the majesty and beauty of the circles for generations who were not there to witness them first hand.
 
The cost of obtaining our high quality images each year is huge (running in to thousands of pounds). We hire a small helicopter and use high-end digital SLRs to record the images. While it is true that there are cheaper methods for photographing the circles, there is a more damaging cost to the quality of pictures possible using there methods (drones etc.) where using expensive digital cameras would not be practical or possible.
 
Because of our commitment to quality and our awareness of costs, we regularly review our practices and at the moment (as of 2015) we remain convinced that our current operating methods allow us to get the best images possible.
 
It is through the sales of our year books, photos and other merchandise that meeting the cost of our photography possible.
 
We also reply on our donors who very kindly help top up our flight fund each year.
 
We never take any of our supporters for granted and are constantly humbled and amazed at their generosity. Every sale and every donation, no matter how humble counts, and helps us continue to record this beautiful phenomenon.
