I live near McGuire AFB in NJ, and about 20 years ago, a pilot flying over a nearby corn field towards the base, spotted a large swastika made into the corn field. It was huge, and had definitely taken some time to make, and again, would only be noticed from the air. They caought the guys that made it, not exactly a crop circle, but something similar maybe in the skills & patience needed for crom circle creation

About 1m into this video is a description of how to interpret the middle section as valid Braille:

Also, "Chualar crop circle contains message, braille expert says":

Word of the crop circle on Chualar Canyon Road spread all the way to Fairfield, New Jersey, where braille transcriber Debra Falanga lives. Falanga said her jaw dropped when she saw a photo of the crop circle because in its center there is a braille inscription. "It's fascinating. I don't know what it means, but it's readable," she said. "Those dots are in very specific order. It's so perfect it's almost like a machine did it. They are not off in any way, shape, or form."
Braille is a system of dots that enable blind people to read and write through touch. Falanga said the dots form three lines and translate in braille as:

192 192

B 192 1

192 192

Orchestra conductor Carl Christensen of Monterey said he works with blind music students and agrees that it reads 192. "Now we just need to follow the 192 clue!" Christensen said. The only way to definitively know "192" was meant to convey would be to ask the crop circle's creator. No one, terrestrial or extra-terrestrial, had come forward to claim responsibility as of Tuesday.

A decade or so ago, near Dixon or Davis (my memory is fuzzy and my Googles are tired), some high schoolers made crop circles in their parents' corn field using the tried and true board-and-rope method popularized by the great British crop circle pranksters Doug Bower and Dave Chorley back in the 80's and 90's. The kids charged money for bottled water and t-shirts as UFO-crazies flocked to the site from all over the world. When they finally came forward and admitted to their prank, many of the true believers rejected the explanation, just as they had when Bower and Chorley took credit and provided photographic and videographic evidence that they'd done it. Some people will believe almost anything. This is especially true when they really want and need to believe it.

Cool - The "192" code is solved:

The puzzle included clues to who was behind it -- for example, the number 192 is posted in two ways in the design -- as numbers on a clock and as a Braille representation.
That's the number of graphical processing unit cores in the new chip. At least one person appears to have figured it all out. John Van Vliet posted this at 12:16 a.m. Wednesday, January 1, on doubtfulnews.com: "The crop art really dose (sic) look like a graphics GPU chip if i had to bet ... one of the NEW CPU/GPU combos from AMD or Nvidia or intell."
