The Google Unexplained Phenomenon – Part 4: Crop circles.

Oh, my. Google just released another doodle. This time it’s featuring crop circles, the filename is goog_e.gif, which might refer to the “missing” L in the image, and clicking on it leads you to a search page for “crop circles”.
Also, Google posted a Twitter clue again. This time, it contains coordinates. Looking these up on Google Maps brings us here:
Some other sites have been referring to H.G. Wells’ anniversary being the reason for these doodles.
Twitter users point out that the birthday of Wells – also the author of The Time Machine, The Invisible Man and The Island of Doctor Moreau – is just six days away, on 21 September, and believe the logo could be a “lead-up” to the anniversary, when Wells would have been 143 years old.

I really don’t have a clue about the true meaning of these doodles. This doodle seems unrelated to the O Campaign Foundation, which makes it even less logical. The only real meaning I could find right now was indeed H.G. Wells’ anniversary, which seems unlikely for me to be basing multiple doodles upon. Also, unexplainedphenomenon.org seems to be exactly the same as before this new doodle, so I don’t really think they will have an awful lot to do with it either. I’ll keep you updated.
