In my humble opinion, I believe that there is very strong evidence that points to an alien craft making the crop circle and indentation. The weight of a heavy object, coupled by a nearby crop circle, and the soil near the landing site, devoid of vegetation. I believe that the absence of vegetation is due to reports of similar effects of UFO’s on the soil. Usually from high levels of radiation. If samples and test were done, I hope that they share the results. Even the crop circle could be evaluated by the effects on the grass or crops.
