has anyone ever been caught making a crop circle?

Apparently, yes.

And yes, the Wessex Skeptics team were once caught in the middle of a design in England, just as Team Satan would be in 1999 as they made another formation for the BBC (ironically they were caught in total darkness, and by another group of hoaxers).

But to be fair, prob. most circles are not fake.
I liked this website:

There are some very compelling contributions to this one. Especially about how the media treats the phenomenon.

The point is - no one has ever been captured making anyone of those crop circle fans deem authentic.

Deemed real:
* No paths between elements.
* Grain woven, not trampled.
* Geometry perfect.
* Changes in background radiation or magnetism.
* Sudden appearance in very small time intervals (15 minutes to 1 hour time window of witness sightings).

However, the fake ones made by people have never been made without witnesses noticing people.

Deemed fake:
* Paths between elements.
* Grain trampled or broken.
* Geometry shows errors and inaccuracies.
* No changes in background radiation or magnetism.
* Work takes very long, or takes massive manpower to keep short, and is always sighted.

The quality of the fake ones that the "myth busters" and "hoaxers" lay claim to have made or actually have been spotted to have made is always way worse than that of the others.
