Origins of the term 'crop circle'

'Circular Evidence' by Colin Andrews and Pat Delgado is given as the source of the term crop circle in this entry. Owning the book, I am unable to locate this reference. Can I suggest Paul Fuller and Jenny Randles' 'Controversy of the Circles' published by BUFORA in 1989 as a better option? It is available at https://thecroppie.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/buforacontroversy.pdf 2A00:23EE:2868:6A58:8146:3967:7A06:7A83 (talk) 13:11, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
