Essential reading

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 August 2026

Format: Paperback

The truth Is in this book... but it may not be the one you want. There are two types of reader who will get this book – those that want some real disclosure and authentic information, and those who want their own theories confirmed. The latter will likely be disappointed,

This is an authentic account of the crop circle phenomenon which will hopefully destroy all the cliches we’ve had to live with for at least 30 years and more. It challenges the tidy binary idea of it being either hoax or mystery, man-made or alien.

You are invited to look deeper into the nature of the phenomenon as Citizen D combines first-hand experience and expertise to reveal both the nature of crop circles and of human consciousness itself — and how they can interact.

The most important and necessary book that’s been written on the subject.

Ten holidaymakers clomped for an hour up the steep hill of one such site, on a dismal evening, lashing down with rain. It was for an optimum viewpoint over a ‘classic’ field. Their hearts were set on a nightwatch for UAPs, orbs... or a blossoming crop circle.

The going was slippery and taxing, but at least the way back down would be easier when they returned in the daylight. They hadn’t done this on a whim; they’d excursioned from Europe.

Atrocious weather always has proponents of the ‘non-human slant’ pontificating that “no person would be unhinged enough to go out on such a night!”. But if nothing grisly has been forecast we’ll start in the dry envisioning, at worst, a little trickle.

Sometimes, however, that trickle will rage and become savage.

We’ll morosely lumber on, drenched to the skin, with sopping clothes, waiving any ‘spangle’, just as long as the design looks resolved. But there’s a bonus with profuse rain - and it’s cosmetic. It can be an adhesive, gluing the seeds to the floor without any ‘stubble’, so that it looks just like parquet decking.

Anyway, after their laborious and soggy uphill trudge, our intrepid explorers were all very much looking forward to the torrent subduing, and then flopping down so they could cherish the panorama... it was merited, and they’d certainly deserved it...

…but just a few plods from the summit, they all froze on the spot, gawping at each other. Then, bizarrely, they all made an about-turn, and clumped all the way down that hill again, forlorn and bedraggled. Their doggedness had been quashed.

They later testified that the self-same ‘edict’ had been ‘piped into their minds’, in unison. It was incontestable. It was:

“Go back. You should not be here. Leave them to their work”

If they had trogged just that few feet further, they would’ve been rewarded with a wide swathe of fields. The most prominent bore the embryonic circle they’d been banned from interfering with. Despite the bleak climate, it would have been distinguishable… and so would we. At the time though, all of this was unknown to us, wringing wet, combatting the gale, to get the pattern finished.”

Citizen D returns to discuss even more strange occurrences around man-made crop circles in a certain area of the UK. These include odd lights, synchronicities, and hitchhikers.

D’s Substack-’It Can’t Be People’- https://substack.com/@citizend1

Keep an eye on Amazon in mid-August for his book to come out!

It’s not that these people are lying, or hallucinating, but many of us would contend that the orbs are not the instigators. That would’ve been us, beforehand. ‘They’ are just curious..

We looked back at the field as we left one circle we’d just - as my friend once wonderfully put it - ‘minted’. Four glowing spheres were fanning out and converging over it. They seemed to be dissecting or auditing it, as they swooshed in the configuration of Scalextric cars on an infinity loop. They looked like biological oscillating, full moons... but without the pockmarks”

For over 40 years, spectacular, sometimes vast patterns have mysteriously appeared overnight in the wheat fields of the West of England, using sacred geometry, often in ancient historical sites, themselves also steeped in the unexplained.

Like the works of the graffiti activist “Banksy”, these “Crop Circles” are presented with no explanation, unclaimed by the artists or creators. In the absence of authorship, many believe these intricate sculpted images to be the work of ETs, time-travellers, the Earth itself as a sentient being, or even secret military testing. Hundreds of thousands of enthusiasts flock to the “hot spots” of Wessex and its surrounding areas every Summer to visit, experience, and attempt to decipher these wondrous formations... to many they are the symbols of religious, even mystical significance.

In a book a decade in the making, “It Can’t Be People” focuses in depth upon a highly controversial “blind spot” which has seldom been seriously addressed in any of the hundreds of books and films examining the phenomenon, for fear that it is not fantastic enough... Human Beings. Everyday people who feel compelled to ‘make’ circles, yet don’t know why, and who are reporting incredible events associated with their creating - bizarre synchronicities, time anomalies, manipulations of reality, lights and orbs, presences, apparitions, ghostly figures, and visions.

Drawing on dozens of interviews with these anonymous and enigmatic individuals and teams, this fascinating book reveals that once humans are – at last – inserted into the picture, the mystery is far deeper and far more exciting than any narrative that excludes us.

I think just the exertion of up to twenty people grafting away, all focused on a ‘talisman’, will engrave Magick into it. If that’s true, then that’s what makes a circle ‘real’. And that’s why we have an obligation to be circumspect, and to act with propriety and not take the piss. It’s because it’s not the magic that’s ‘black’ or ‘white’. It’s the intent behind it. It’s the wielder of the wand that deigns whether magic - in our case, these sigils - is benign, “white”, or pernicious, “black”. Man-made patterns aren’t hoaxes.

I think of it like a hatchet. You can chop wood with it or you can be Lizzie Borden. My litmus test is: “If we’d have made this in the Middle Ages would we have been burnt at the stake as heretics?”

There’s a version of the crop circle conversation that goes like this:

Aliens did it.

Or humans did it.

Case closed.

But today’s episode cracked open a third door — the one most people avoid because it refuses to stay tidy:

What if some crop circles are human-made… and the mystery gets deeper, not smaller?

In this conversation, I sat down with Citizen D - a retired crop circle maker, Fortean researcher, and author of It Can’t Be People: Voices from the Inner Circle.

D spent decades inside one of the most secretive subcultures in modern folklore, and he’s now sharing what circle-making looks like from the inside: the planning, the geometry, the stealth… and the part that still makes no sense, even to the people holding the boards.

Because according to D, yes — many formations are made by people.

And also yes — weird phenomena shows up often enough that you can’t just shrug it off.

Let’s pull back the veil.

The question nobody asks: “How?” vs. “Why?”

We love obsessing over the mechanics:

• How did they flatten acres of crop in the dark?

• How did they get such precision without seeing it from above?

• How did they avoid being caught?

But Dee made a point that hit me in the gut:

We keep asking “how,” when the real question is “why.”

Why do humans build massive projects that outlive them — ancient monuments, enormous earthworks, sacred sites… and yes, these intricate geometric “sigils” pressed into living fields?

Dee’s not claiming to have the final answer.

He’s saying: the “why” is the real rabbit hole.

The origin story: from believer… to insider

Dee wasn’t a “debunker” who came to ruin the fun. He started where many of us start: fascinated, wide-eyed, and deeply drawn to the paranormal.

Crop circles first showed up in UFO research circles as simple circular indentations - the kind that looked like classic “landed saucers.” Then the phenomenon evolved into more complex designs… and the public connection to UFOs was already welded into the collective psyche.

And that’s where D’s curiosity ignited:

If the shapes don’t resemble craft anymore… why are we still so attached to the same explanation?

Eventually, he visited circle after circle, chasing the real ones - the formations people claimed weren’t man-made. But over time, he kept hearing second- and third-hand stories that didn’t fit the usual narrative.

Stories that weren’t about “proof.”

Stories about synchronicity. Dreams. Timing. The feeling of being pulled.

And that’s the moment he chose the brave path:

“If you’re going to research something properly, you have to be objective.”

Even if it messes with what you wanted to believe.

“We finished the circle… and then the flashes began.”

This is the moment in the episode where my brain went: Wait. What.

D described going out with a team to finish a “corrupt” circle (a partially completed formation). Nothing unusual happened for hours - and he was disappointed.

Then… as they completed the formation…

A flash of light went off near the perimeter.

Then another.

Then dozens.

He described it like a necklace of lights sprinkling around the edge - and his first fear was practical:

“We’ve been photographed. This is criminal damage.”

But the team leader told him, calmly, that they’d seen it before.

And then came the phrase I will not forget:

“It’s a round of applause.”

As if something was signaling: Stop. Don’t add more. It’s complete.

And then the lights blinked out.

That alone would be wild. But D followed it with another moment:

The next night, as they began a new formation, a pink UAP appeared and hovered for hours - and then left when the circle was finished.

Whether you interpret that literally, symbolically, psychologically, or spiritually…

You can feel the edges of the world get weird.

The “spooky show” problem: the phenomenon doesn’t perform

One of the most fascinating parts of the conversation was this: D says people often come out expecting entertainment.

They want the “paranormal fireworks.”

But the work itself? It’s slow. Methodical. Quiet. People stomping with boards. Marking with geometry. Hours of repetition.

And then D tells a story where someone complained:

“This is boring… where’s the spooky stuff?”

…and right after, a purple fluorescent corkscrew-shaped phenomenon appeared in the air.

But here’s the kicker:

It positioned itself so that the person demanding a show didn’t even see it.

And the team leader’s response was basically a spiritual boundary:

It’s not a pantomime. Respect it, or you won’t perceive it.

That… is such an “inner space” principle.

And it ties directly to what I teach in visibility and conscious business, too:

When you treat sacred things like content… they stop opening.

The real mystery: where do the ideas come from?

This is D’s core obsession - not the lights.

He described something crop circle makers argue about:

Different teams, with no communication, sometimes create the same unusual design in the same season.

Not basic shapes. Not obvious symbols.

Very specific forms that hadn’t appeared before - and suddenly show up in multiple places.

So, the question becomes:

• Are people “tuning in” to something shared?

• Is there a collective field of imagery we’re downloading from?

• Are we unconsciously coordinating?

• Or is something else placing the idea in the mind?

D even referenced the concept of the collective consciousness (and nodded to the idea of a shared “field”), and admitted plainly:

That part, he can’t explain.

And I respect that.

Because false certainty is the fastest way to destroy true wonder.

The midnight compulsion & the Wiccan “gift” that matched the design

If you only remember one story from this episode, make it this one.

D shared an account from another circle maker who woke up at midnight with a compulsion - not inspiration, not joy - a nagging insistence that wouldn’t let him sleep.

He had two things in his mind:

1. The design

2. The exact location

He tried to do it in a closer field instead.

And the moment he attempted that, he became physically ill - nausea, headaches, body resistance.

So, he went to the field he was “supposed” to go to, made the formation alone, and heard what sounded like chanting and drumming in a nearby field - which made him stay extra cautious.

Then, in the morning, he found a group of women celebrating inside the circle.

They were Wiccans/pagans, and they told him:

They had been supplicating Mother Nature for a gift… starting at midnight.

And one of them wore a pendant with the exact same pattern.

They also said there had been no chanting out loud - they whispered or invoked internally.

So, the circle maker wondered if what he heard was some kind of audible overlay - a protective layer of sound that kept him guarded and hidden, so he wouldn’t be caught… so the “gift” could arrive.

D’s point wasn’t “here’s proof.”

It was:

Even if humans make the circle, the experience around it can still be layered, intentional, and bizarre.

And honestly? That’s the part that feels like ancient site magic - not as fantasy, but as unmapped reality.

Are crop circles “less common” now?

I asked (because I’ve noticed it too), and D confirmed what many of us suspect:

In the 1990s and early 2000s, the scene was booming - you couldn’t “fall over” without finding them.

Now, fewer.

And part of that is simply: the artists got older and retired. New teams come in, and at first their work is messy - and the internet immediately mocks it as “fake.”

D made an analogy I loved:

It’s like a band… except you don’t get to rehearse privately. Your first gigs happen in public, and the crowd boos online.

But the larger point was this:

Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Even if many are human-made… something still seems to be happening.

“It Can’t Be People”… and why D stays off camera

D explained why he doesn’t show his face:

• There’s no statute of limitations (farmers could still pursue civil action)

• He doesn’t want it bleeding into personal life

• He wants the story and the images to be the focus - not ego

And his title, It Can’t Be People, is a deliberate double meaning:

Yes, people make many circles.

And also… there’s an element attached to it that doesn’t feel fully human.

His invitation wasn’t to convince you.

It was to invite you into your own discernment.

My takeaway: magic doesn’t need permission to be real

This conversation reminded me of something I believe deeply:

Not everything that’s true is provable in the way our modern minds demand.

And not everything that’s human is “less sacred.”

If anything, the idea that humans could be instruments - compelled, synchronized, guided by symbols they don’t fully understand — feels like a bridge between the ancient world and the modern one.

Whether crop circles are art, ritual, consciousness-play, or something stranger…

They still do something to the human psyche.

They still wake people up.

And maybe that’s part of the point.

“We made an Egyptian ‘mascot’, and returned to our site at 3am.

A black cat, which seemed to have been waiting patiently for us, was sat outside. When we unzipped the tent, it leapt inside. It was purring, licking and nuzzling us as if it had been ours for years.

It refused to leave, despite us trying to gently shoo it out. So we zipped the tent back up for what was left of the night. When we woke, it was still sealed... but the cat was gone!

I checked all around the outside for tears or rips... any sign of where it could have got out. There was nothing. We asked around to see whose cat it was, but had no joy. We never saw it again.

It may be by the by, but we later discovered domestic cats to be revered by the Egyptians as living embodiments of Bastet, the sentinel of the household... a direct connection to our circle.”

Although the transaction appears chronological, a Canadian couple’s minds were blown after they had intimated that a Taijitu corn circle before they left, would top their vacation off a treat... and on the morning of their flight home, there it was, delivered into the back garden of their rented bungalow. When word got back to the team, they were made up. But upon discovering that the ‘postal address’ had been written down three weeks before the couple had started their trip... they were pretty dazed too...”
