Crop circles

Postby nietzsche on Tue Nov 13, 2012 5:44 pm

What is your belief about crop circles?

It's important to make the distinction between the "real" ones and the lame attempts to copy them by pranksters.

I just pulled these from google, no doubt one or more can be fake, didn't check very much but what I'm trying to show is how amazingly complex this are and they appear from one day to the other.

They are most likely man made.

The ones that show changes in the soil and the expansion of the wheat mentioned in your last paragraph are the most interesting ones imo. I've seen a documentary where they were able to replicate all of those things, but they needed some microwave source to do the expansion thing and some other device to spread the iron and other substances over the area. So it's definitively possible that people are doing that too, but one has to wonder why the f*ck they're going to the trouble. I suppose it might just be to make them seem more authentic.

So again, it's significantly more likely that they're man made than anything else, but I still have some curiosity about the "real" ones.

It would be a surprise that a civilization more advanced than us would have discovered beer and then stop drinking it.

I live on a farm and yes, every once in a while I wake up to find one of these on my cohn field. I don't mind the minor damage to the crops but the probing really smarts.
