I like this line of thinking, but I'm having a hard time using it to understand the phenomenon of crop circles.

Explanation 1: it was a previously unknown spacefaring species that uses giant circles to communicate.
Explanation 2: it was a couple middle aged Brits with some boards

Does Occam's Razor say that it was a couple of aliens with some boards, or it was a previously unknown advanced civilization of middle-aged British men?
