What evidence is there of crop circles over the last 400 years? I've never heard that before so I'm curious.

Fair enough, I've never seen any actual evidence on the first one either. I'm not sure to what extent these anomalies have been documented by impartial sources.
In regards to the the crop circle histories, I'm going to retract that statement. I'd seen discussion about early printed materials that talk about something called a 'mowing devil' mowing circles in farmer's fields in the 1600s. But in looking into it, there's actually no mention that the mowing produces circles, but rather that the whole field is mowed. The picture shows a devil mowing a circle, but that's probably just artistic license. So I've gotta think that this is the crop circle enthusiasts grasping at straws (pun!). There's other anecdotal evidence of early 20th century circles, but nothing that would stand up to any sort of scientific rigour.
