Hi Henny
Long time no speak, where have you been hiding?
Anyway, 80%? I am amazed. Over here it seams that we have so
many people hoaxing intricate patterns in cereal crops (IPICC,
hmm still don't sound right) that it is _very_ hard to calculate
a figure for this country. I know that there are several ways to
detect _genuine_ advanced geometrical designs in the crop
(AGDITC, hmm still don't look good) but it would seem that the
hoaxers know this too and can fake these intricate pictograms in
cereal crops (IPICC, back to this one again) and can use means
to fool the researchers of these patterns in the crop (PITC, is
this better?).
Joking aside you are right, "Crop Circles" is as inappropriate
to formations in the crop as "UFO" is to anomalous ariel
phenomenon.
