No kidding,do you think it's plausible that they are formed by other means than hoaxers?

I have seen many crop circles. The people who go round saying they are anything other than man made live in fantasy land.
Nearly all the so called experts have declared various crop circles as non man made only to be proved wrong quickly.
In one case I saw grass verges mown down with rare orchids and other plants cutdown and wondered why the farmer had been so stupid. A few days later - surprise, surprise, a crop circle appeared. Even more surprisingly a milk churn with a hole in the top appeared chained to the fence post asking for donations! So called experts came out of the woodwork declaring al sorts of genuineness about it. One even appeared on television stating they had passed the field a few days before and felt the forces building up in it and knew a circle would appear. The truth? An elaborate excercise by a TV channel to demonstrate just how gullible people are!
Simple round circles in crops have been known for centuries and are almost certainly genuine. The most likely cause being climatic events such as wind.
If they really are made by aliens or some supernatural force why do they all relate just to recent human shapes? I am old enough to remember Von Danikens books on God the spaceman and his belief that ancient pictures and carvings showed space rockets. What no space shuttle?
Don't be taken in. Crop circles are man made and what is more they are criminal as they cause a lot of damage to a farmers crop and cause him financial loss.

I think it's interesting that just because some, or even most, crop circles for the past few decades are sophomoric pranks, many people ignore the history of crop circles going back hundreds of years and on different continents. Bored hicks could not copycat what they did not know about; there was no mass media to spread the rumours a century and more back. And serious studies have shown effects similar to radiation or other unknown sources on the affected crops. There have been attempts to duplicate the effects, to no avail. Also, there have been other findings, as of the metallic beads found strewn across the fields. Find books on the subject and come to your own conclusions. The general public is too narrow-minded and self-absorbed to bother with research, so why bother to ask the ignoramuses online?

Who was the first hoaxer to go out and say "hey I'll stomp down some corn all over this feild in perfect circles and make a big pattern out of it and people will think its aliens" it seems too unlikely to me, I'm sure there are some hoaxes now but I think they're are some real ones too, some of those things are too difficult to do just by kids, and farmers cant afford to destroy any of their crop so they wouldnt do it.

Though i believe in Unexplained phenomenon eg UFOs, Ghosts etc. These crop circle formations are probably (hate to say it) elaborate hoax's. probably some geometry students on a there yr out, testing there knowledge. But then again nature is full of geometry it's what builds the things we see, Circles are the shapes we see most in nature, flora and fauna just take a look!

I have seen in magazines that are caused by ultra sonic sound waves. If you research it and have a look at the stock of the wheat, there appears to be holes where the sound waves have emerged. Just a theroy.

My intuition tells me they are hoaxes. We all want to believe so badly that UFO's are making them, but I think it's fogging up our thought process. I believed them for a while, but documentaries on television has convinced me otherwise. Good question.

No hoaxers are responsible.

They are hoaxes. Anyone who is smart enough to travel to earth from another galaxy is too smart to communicate by crushing plants.
