Crop Circles

[cardero]

Though some researchers have connected this enigma to other-worldly intelligences just wondering what the RFers who demand physical evidence think of the crop-circle phenomenon.

 

[Azakel]

I'm of the thought that some are man-made and some are made by other forces(though I'm not sure what they might be). One thing to look at is that those that are known to be man made have broken ends(because even bending them will cause them to brake), and those thought to be made by other sources are bent without brakes.
At lest this is what I have read in the past. Though when even I hear about a Crop Circle I don't automatically think UFO or Supernatural forces did it.
What do you think there cardero?

 

[cardero]

I am going to have to go with other worldly intelligences. They are becoming far too complex to be human-made hoaxes and there is just too many of them that pop up seasonally (daily) and not enough arrests being made for these criminal acts (I also agree with you about the stems). The part that impresses me is how simple they started and how sophisticated they have become throughout the years.

The only reason why I would lean towards a UFO/alien hypothesis is in the bold manner in which they are created, and the fact that these circle designs (no matter how complex) seem to be made quickly and expertly (almost as if they are showing off). The UFO/Alien phenomenon has always portrayed a conditioning process about introducing their presence; they have a fantastic knack of staying a couple of steps ahead of the game while remaining hidden behind the veil.

Quite frankly, I don't see why creatures of aifferent world would bother coming here again and again to make fun designs in crops. Also, I'm pretty sure that the ufos would be detected by scientists and technology. I doubt it would continuously go unnoticed.

I couldn't think of another intelligence that would be able to get away with it. Some believe that it is a means of communication, a language in which humans have yet to interpret. As for the method, I don't think I could have devised a more unique canvas or thought of a better way to get another's attention. To fully appreciate the circles, you have to be in the sky. There is also no shortage of photograph evidence to reference to. Human-made or not, they are illegally artistic, crop circles really are beautiful.

Thing is there are supposed to more then just fun designs. They could mean something more but where just to stupid to understand.

Really, if there are Aliens coming from far away then I'm sure that there technology far surpasses are in many way.I'm sure that they could hide from as with no trouble.

I have inequivocal proof that crop circles are made by cows.

I still think the evidence points to human-manufactured hoaxes and not some little understood physical phenomenon like vortexes or plasma or whatever. And the e.t. hypothesis is pretty low on my list. As for the physical evidence, specifically the bent stalks, there's no great mystery that green moist stalks are pliable and don't break easily. Not too difficult a hurdle for hoaxers to leap. Also, the tramine paths left by tractors allow easy access without stamping down the field unnecessarily.

But yes, I emphatically agree that they're beautiful and clever works of art! Banksy has his urban canvas, the croppists have the rural landscape.

I posted these ice circle links in another crop circle thread 'cause I find them fascinating. It was my post #23... how quickly they grow up. ..sniff...
Ontario ice circle
Creek circle
Michigan ice circle
This article has a brief description of how they're formed

Just ask yourself: If we were to build spaceships and travel trillions of miles to another planet with life, what would we do? Obviously, damaging their crops in geometric patterns and anally probing rural inhabitants would be at the top of the list. Why would aliens visiting our planet behave any differently?

Overgrown fairy rings. But at least the fairies are artistic.

I know. Why bother with the crops?













Hilarious!

What human technology could rend such a mystery :no:

I hope it is the aliens, because if that is the best idea they have to communicate after all these years, I think we can out wit them when they finally decide to attack, they may be book smarts but we are cunning.

Other important questions to ask are; if they are human-made, what would be the motivation for humans to create these crop designs? Why choose this type of canvas? Why is it predominately a phenomenon associated with England? Why isn't guerilla artistry more worldwide? Why spare the plant? Why use geometric patterns? Why haven't these hoaxers been arrested?

I voted for the first one, but it's actually kangaroos on opium. Even in places where no kangaroos live... Oh yes... they get around all over the world. That's the way opium rolls, so to speak.

Maybe this will answer your questions,

Seems if humans were behind these, they could be tracked down by bloodhounds. I think the designs are great, but still made by humans.

I hate to bump a month old thread but what the hell. Google made me do it:

Hmm. . . did you see the movie "Signs"?

I did.
That's why I carry bottled water with me whenever I walk through a cornfield. Just in case. :sarcastic

That's weird. I carry corn on the cob with me whenever I go swimming. Like water and oil, us two.
