In M. Night Shyamalan’s 2002 thriller “Signs,” Graham Hess and his family aren’t pleased when they step outside their Bucks County, Pa., farm one morning and see crop circles in the fields surrounding the home.

Terry and Monty Woods, however, welcomed the addition of a 220-foot diameter design pressed into their oat field near Amity, knowing it was the work of Oregon State University students and Mozilla Corp. interns, not aliens or pranksters.

John Carey, film afficionado and intern at Mountain View, Calif.-based Mozilla, has long been fascinated with the crop circle phenomenon.
