    40. The Stonehenge Joker
    Aug 18 2025

    During the midsummer solstice of 2025, a strange grinning face suddenly appears in a field next to the historic monument of Stonehenge. This pattern forms the bizarre likeness of a playing card joker. But it is just the latest in a long line of so-called ‘crop circles’ to have materialised in this ancient landscape, some of which have apparently formed in broad daylight in the space of just forty-five minutes. The question is what in the world – or universe – could have caused them?
