Cool image. I had to peek. I'll sit back now and let the more experienced solvers figure out whether guessing is needed or not. I did not mark it either way.

It's actually quite easy to make these crop circles using stakes and ropes.

Apparently, nobody thought to take a photograph. I could only find a diagram of that first crop circle. https://www.cropcirclecenter.com/ccdata/2006/06/11/UK20060611_A.html

I was amazed that such simple forms would require so much work to resolve. Often adding on pixel to a horizontal would lead to one pixel on a horizontal. Which would in turn give you one more pixel of info on another line. I ended up working all over the puzzle at once. I did have to look ahead in two places. I don’t know if it is brain busting, but certainly a time consuming puzzle to solve logically. I did enjoy it.

Logically solvable, no guessing required.
