Crop Circles from BBC helicopter footage

I am generally fairly sceptical about most crop circles as so many have
been faked. But I happened to notice on the Doomsday programme on
Saturday night that one of their tracking aerial helicopter views of Old
Sarum, Wiltshire included by chance what looks to me like a genuine and
fairly complex crop circle at the bottom left corner of the frame.

The relevant part can be seen using BBC iPlayer at 54:15-54:24 into the
programme with best overall view at 54:19:

The crop circle looks to be new with sharply defined edges as compared
to the tractor lines which are also visible where it turned at the field
boundaries. It looks natural enough...

'faked', 'genuine', and 'natural'.

I wonder what is the difference between those terms in the present
context?

If nothing else thanks for the link Martin I've been meaning to watch
that program . By the way I asked my mother what she thought about
corn circles and she blames them on ill fitting shoes.

'faked',

Faked in this context means a bunch of students or other pranksters
wearing planks on their shoes putting one over on crop circle watchers.
There have been some (in)famous examples since the late 70's.

'genuine', and 'natural'.

In this instance it doesn't look like there is any disturbance apart
from the crop circle itself. There are meteorological phenomena like
dust devils that could make these sort of patterns. And this one is
serendipitously in the frame of aerial footage for a history program.

There is a nice one on Google Earth, between Wayland's Smithy and
the Uffington White Horse.

Crop circles are the continuation of a tradition dating from the Bronze Age,
if not earlier.

The whole program about the hienous usurping of the English by William
and his adventurer gang coupled with the crop circle at Williams
stronghold Old Sarum proves conclusively that it was an Alien Invasion

I've always been of the opinion that most crop circles are fake, the few
that are genuine are probably something to do with local strong magnetic
fields.

Have to be one heck of a magnetic field to do that to straw!

Spiral whirlwinds touching down might well be the explanation. It would
be really nice if someone saw one being created and videoed it.
