"Shostak notes that crop circles are a very poor means of communication because they represent only a few hundred bits of information, 1,679 bits in the most complex crop circle to date, which is less than a paragraph of text! If ETIs are advanced enough for interstellar space travel, why resort to using wheat fields, which are only ripe a couple of months a year, and then the crop-circle communication is quickly mowed down by angry farmers!

The small bits of (evident) information are because we as a species are viewed as incapable of understanding more complex cyphers by more advanced off wolders...LOL

Perhaps there is "information" involved with these circles that communicate on various levels - emotional, mathematical, aesthetic, etc

What about alien kids fooling around with their new toys?
Ok, could be a shaped charge device using high pressure waves pumped out from a stealth craft of some sort. -

"1,679 bits in the most complex crop circle to date"
would communicate a lot if the...
"information"
...being transmitted was...
"mathmatecal"
... or symbolic and represented a concept like a hieroglyph.
1 hieroglyph = one simple concept = 1 crop circle
multiple hieroglyphs = complex concept = multiple crop circles placed in a geographic area over a given period of time
