"Yes - it's a nice rounded theory," says Mr Bishop. Like Dr Andrews, he says all but the simplest circles are hoaxes.
The theory could explain why in some circles, microphones and recording equipment hit interference, he says. Some years ago, a BBC crew had difficulty recording in a circle.
"If the circles are formed by electro-magnetic eddies, there may be a residual charge of energy," Mr Bishop says.
But he does not think the new theory is the final word: "It doesn't explain why often the nodes of the plants have swollen up to 200 times the original size."
He thinks the currents may work in tandem with other environmental factors, possibly conducted via water in the air, such as mist, or in underground water tables.

Interesting but that's all just wild speculation, there's nothing resembling real evidence there.
Eddies in the earth's magnetic field should be easily measured, why aren't they working on experiments to measure those?
Then he speculates about "energy lines", can he even define what he means by that, let alone measure them?
Nothing like real evidence there...
