My first impression was a feeling this crop circle design reminded me of the monkey toys we have as kids. This may sound quite odd, but bear with me, please. The crop circle imagery is reminiscent of the 'magic monkey' depicted in the image at the bottom of the post. Except, in the crop circle imagery, the 'monkey' is about the clash the two cymbals together.
Looking at the crop circle image below; the central oval part of the crop circle design represents the face of the monkey. Immediately above the central oval and leading to the top right is the monkey's hat complete with bauble at the end, depicted by the circular disk with a small circle in the centre.
Move back to the central oval again, travel this time to the left and the circular disk with small circle in its centre seen slightly above the oval centre represents a cymbal being raised above the monkey's head.
Finally, returning back to the central oval once more, note the third circular disk below it ... this represents the other cymbal about to strike the higher cymbal. The connecting part of the design from central orb to this third circular disk represents the body of the monkey.
Can you see the striking resemblance now?

**Update**
Interestingly, the crop circle image has the suggestion of three disks ... which in corresponding tarot cards is the three of coins, the Three of Pentacles ... or more importantly the Three of Spheres in the Servants of the Light tarot (see 3 of Spheres below). It is not identical to the image above but has similarities ... it has the interpretation of 'success'. 'The lord of material works' ...
