A British man filming around an ancient monument with his drone was taken aback when the UAV cruised over a field featuring a sizeable crop formation depicting a spider. According to a local media report, the design was discovered on Thursday morning in the county of Dorset by photographer Thorlak Hallett. "I spotted it whilst flying over the Cerne Abbas Giant and surrounding area," he explained, marveling "this is an interesting one, very big, an alien spider maybe?" To that end, as seen in Hallett's video above, the abdomen of the spider features what appears to be a pair of eyes and a mouth, giving it an otherworldly appearance.
