Saying that crop circles are evidence of UFOs is really stretching the idea of evidence beyond the breaking point.
Ah, so you do know about that! As for the assumption that it might have been people trying to hoax evidence of the Devil - I think you've got it the wrong way round. They tried to explain a mystery by invoking another one - a discarnate being, who allegedly controls hell - some foreign clime no doubt!

Another assumption is that I'm saying UFO's make crop circles - I'm not. If you read Trevor James Constable book on what formed these circles in reed beds, you'd find he believed these were living 'critters' as he called them, living in the Earth's atmosphere: UFO's are only one of the theories suggested by investigators.
