crop circles?

Question

ever seen 1?if so what was it like and could it have been made by a man

Answer 1

The OFFICIAL(government) explaination is that they are caused by a so far unexplained natural phenomena involving magnetism. Interesting, as if they had all been proven to be man-made, surely that would be the official stance, not relying on 'unknown' phenomena...?
Another interesting fact about the majority of crop circles is that the plants that have been used to create the effect, show genetic mutations resulting from strong radioactive influences, but not the plants outside of the event. Also, you can easily tell a man-made crop circle as the stalks of the plants get damaged, whereas in 'genuine' cases, the stalks are not outwardly damaged, even though they have been bent at a point on their stems that would, under any other circumstances, cause them to break or at least kink.

There has only ever been a group of THREE people who openly admitted organising and producing crop circles. They were from Britain. They claimed they could produce one in around 7 hours max, by torchlight. They do not go anywhere near explaining how some appear in under an hour in some cases, nor how they occur world-wide and often close to busy roads without any witnesses seeing anything unusual, like the case at Stonehenge, where one appeared next to the busy trunk road. The only explaination for that one I have seen, was that they were not noticed because of a 'dip' in the field where the group alledgedly worked to create the 'hoax' circle, yet I have travelled the route many times and for anyone else who knows that area, there IS NO such 'dip', therefore the reality debunks the debunkers(of that one, anyway).

Crop circles are areas of cereal or similar crops that have been systematically flattened to form various geometric patterns. The phenomenon itself only entered the public imagination in its current form after the notable appearances in England in the late 1970s. Various scientific and pseudo-scientific explanations were put forward to explain the phenomenon, which soon spread around the world. In 1991, more than a decade after the phenomena began, two men, Doug Bower and Dave Chorley, revealed that they had been making crop circles in England since 1978 using planks, rope, hats and wire as their only tools. Many other people around the world are also openly making crop circles, notably Circlemakers.org. Although the commonly accepted view today is that crop circles are a man-made phenomenon, paranormal explanations, often including UFOs, are still popular.

The phenomenon of crop circles became generally known in the 1970s, after the start of the hoaxes perpetrated by Bower and Chorley. Subsequently crop circle enthusiasts have tried finding examples of the phenomenon before this. Supposedly, the earliest recorded crop circle is depicted in a 17th Century woodcut called the Mowing-Devil. The image depicts a strange creature creating a circular design in a field of corn. The legend suggests that the farmer, disgusted at the wage his mower was demanding for his work, insisted that he would rather have the devil himself perform the task. Proponents of the belief that crop circles are either naturally caused, or are formed by as yet unknown entities, often support their viewpoint with this old tale. It is worth noting, however, that this is little more than a tale—the circular formation supposedly caused by the creature may be coincidental, or may have been caused by any number of natural or human processes.

An apparently more convincing historical report of crop circles was published in the journal Nature in 1880 (reproduced in 2000 [1]). An amateur scientist named Brandon Meland appears to describe a field containing a number of crop circles, along with his suggestion that they might have been caused by "some cyclonic wind action".

Although the pixie circles created by Elves in Scandinavian folklore were most likely caused by fungus colonies, there was also a rarer kind, consisting of circular patches where the grass had been flattened:

On lake shores, where the forest met the lake, you could find elf circles. They were round places where the grass had been flattened like a floor. Elves had danced there. By Lake Tisaren, I have seen one of those. It could be dangerous and one could become ill if one had trodden over such a place or if one destroyed anything there (an account given in 1926, Hellström 1990:36)
Not long after WWII, the aerial surveys that were being made over large areas of Britain revealed some unexpected phenomena, undetectable from the ground. When the surveys photographed ripening crops or drought-stressed terrain they revealed what were soon termed "crop marks", the differential ripening of the crop that revealed differences in the subsoil. These patterns were found to be caused by the buried remnants of ancient buildings. Archaeological investigations were soon instigated, but, though many previously unsuspected archaeological sites were found, no crop circles were ever recorded. Skeptics argue that this would have pointed to circles as a modern phenomenon, even if the initial pranksters had not revealed themselves; believers reply different agendas may simply be at work in the modern day.

Crop Circles shot into prominence in the late 1970s as many circles began appearing throughout the English countryside. To date, thousands of circles have appeared at sites across the world, from disparate locations such as the former Soviet Union, the UK and Japan, as well as the U.S. and Canada.

Answer 3

Nope. I saw on discovey that most crop circles are man made and they even told us a way that you can make crop circles. They also said that they usually result from something the plants do. They do something and make amazing looking circles.

Answer 4

I have seen several in England. They were mystifying in that the lines and circles were so perfect with the stalks of wheat bent but not broken. I believe they could not have been made by man. Though man does try to copy them. I tried to make one but it didn't work without breaking the stalks.

Who makes them...I do not know, but if you find out please tell me!!

Answer 5

No I can't say that I have most of them are near farm land where people grow corn, they get board picking it so they get drunk find a few friends come up with a design and then go play in the field.

Answer 6

I have one in my yard.. a perfect circle.

However some say there used to be a pool there, but that just seems too weird.

Answer 7

They're secretly made by robot ninjas in the middle of the night. Only THEY could pull it off! Aso!

Answer 8

I've seen HOW they are done...and I've seen the finished product...I believe MOST are FAKE! Man made...to fool the gullable!

Answer 9

The elaborate fancy ones have been determined to be hoaxes, but the simple plain ones are still mysteries.

Answer 10

They are total bullshit. 100% man made. Still searching for E.T.. Well, he lives in Orlando, Florida. I saw him a few months ago.
