Images in rice paddies
Since humans couldn't possibly produce complex images in crops, images viewable only from above. Obviously, aliens are beginning to learn how to communicate with humans, choosing images of conquerors to inform us of their intent.
Actually, I just thought that these were beautiful, and a perfect example of cereal art produced by our fellow humans. |

And created by planting different coloured rice plants. AND they do it from seedling. Here is a YouTube vid of the paddy fields showing the image emerge as the plants grow.

I think my favorite, simply because it shows that the artists don't take themselves too seriously is the cartoon bear at the top of the fourth pic.

Well, this was done in the medium of lawnmower on grass, but it has an obvious audience.
