You laugh, but in between the nitwit New Agers and the hard skeptics is a layer of scientifically minded investigators who are genuinely puzzled by the weirder aspects of the phenomenon (and some of them are *very* weird). And no, plastic garden rollers doesn't do the trick either. There really is more to it than you think, including extremely odd effects on the crop plants that aren't found in circles known to have been human-made.
