On June 23, 2026, the Swiss research group Kornkreise Schweiz reported a crop formation about 215 feet long in a wheat field in the Zürcher Weinland, the wine-growing district in the north of the canton of Zurich, near the Rhine and the German border.

According to the British site Temporary Temples, which tracks formations worldwide, the design is a two-way spiral built on a hexagon and the vesica piscis, the almond shape made by two overlapping circles. Franz Ulrich of Kornkreise Schweiz reported it, aerial photos were taken by Ricardo Perret, and researcher Peter van den Burg began a geometry analysis.

The farmer asked that the exact location not be revealed, and Temporary Temples said it doesn’t know where it is either. That’s common. Crop circles draw visitors who trample fields, and some farmers charge admission while others simply mow the design down.

Switzerland has had many formations over the years, though far fewer than southern England, where this year’s season started unusually early. As with the English circles, no one has claimed this one.

Most researchers who document formations accept that many, perhaps all, are made by people with planks, rope and garden rollers, often at night. Some think a small number can’t be explained that way. Either way, a 215-foot design with precise geometry is a serious night’s work.
