This crop circle does not seem to have received significant coverage outside of UFO groups and such. If we take out the uncited claims like "it is considered to be one of the best pieces of evidence for alien visitation to Earth", then we are left with no explanation of why this crop pattern is more significant than all the others.

• Delete coverage appears to be limited to unreliable sites maintained by people who believe the circles are evidence of extraterrestrial life. Of the sources cited the only one that doesn't fall into this category is [1], which doesn't mention this crop circle. Hut 8.5 12:26, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Could not find any significant mention in literature outside of dedicated crop circle web sites. Maybe would've been a little impressed if the NatGeo ref turned out to be legit but it doesn't even mention this specific crop circle. The other sources do not mention the specific name "Answer from the Stars" either. This may be worth a 1-sentence mention in the Crop circle article, but of the thousands of popular crop circles out there I doubt this one is so notable to deserve it's own separate article. And the "best piece of evidence for alien visitation to Earth" claim is laughable, even if it can be attributed. -- œ^™ 09:30, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
