My position is, the more complex a crop circle, the more likely it is to have been designed and made by a human being. I'm not doubting that there may be some comparatively simple circles that were indeed created by some undetermined, natural cause, but aliens are still a last resort for me. I would have to see something that's undeniably above the capabilities of nature and mankind, before I'd consider aliens as a reasonable alternative.
