The human butterfly crop circle

The Human Butterfly crop circle in Holland was indeed record-breaking: created in August 2009 near Goes, Zeeland, it measured about 540m wide by 450m tall, covering 60 acres, and is often described as the largest crop formation ever made. It depicted a butterfly with Leonardo da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man at its centre, symbolizing human metamorphosis. While some sources claim it was a mysterious overnight appearance, others suggest it was deliberately constructed by a Dutch circle-making team, with rumours that children helped in its creation.
