8What is the drawing in the wheat field at 2:34 called?
This is called a “crop circle” or “crop circle”. A crop circle is a geometric pattern made in a cereal field. Visible from the sky, these creations can range from a simple circle of a few meters in diameter to compositions of several hectares. These geometric patterns are made by laying the ears of cereals on the ground but the authors do not always claim their creations and some fans of paranormal phenomena attribute their origin to supernatural causes, extraterrestrials for example.
