Is there a crop circle that couldn't have been made overnight by a team of dedicated humans? A member of The Circlemakers, John Lundberg, can only suggest one example - a formation that appeared in Milk Hill in 2001. It had 409 circles and was nearly 300 metres across.
"If this formation was man-made allowing for time to get into and out of the field under cover of darkness the construction time left should be around four hours. Given that there are over 400 circles, some of which span approximately 20m in diameter, that would mean that one of those circles would need to be created every 30 seconds. And that's not even allowing any time for the surveying, purely flattening, this formation pushes the envelope and that's a MASSIVE understatement."

Again, simply an argument from ignorance.. not knowing how it was done doesn't equate to it being impossible through normal means.
Is it known for sure that this showed up over one night? Maybe it was done over multiple nights? Start with the small ones which are far from each other and it'd be hard to notice from the ground, then do the big ones the final night. Or have a bigger team.
Mabye they have some kind of tool that radically reduces the time to create them? If a magician can have a tool or gadget that makes a trick work that people can't think of until they see it, it's possible for the makers to have one as well.
It could be all kinds of things, but until there's evidence in one direction there's no reason to think in that direction.
