Do you think aliens created the Crop Circles in England?

Answer 1

It seems that quite a few of them were made by people as a type of hoax - but all?

Answer 2

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. Some skeptics note a strong inverse correlation between crop circles and the presence of fencing and/or anti-trespassing legislation, as well as a great increase in the number of crop circles after media coverage.

The phenomenon of crop circles became widely known in the late 1980s, after the media started to report crop circles (later found to have been created by Doug Bower and Dave Chorley) in Hampshire and Wiltshire. Subsequently crop circle enthusiasts have tried finding examples of the phenomenon before this. 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 pamphlet the image appeared in states 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.

A more recent historical report of crop circles was published in the journal Nature in 1880 (reproduced in 1991). An amateur scientist named Brandon Meland describes a field containing a number of crop circles, along with the 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.

In other words... No.

Answer 3

Since most the crop circles were created by people who were not
citizens of the United States, most definately were created by
aliens!!

Answer 4

No. There's no evidence that aliens created crop circles.

Answer 5

they found it recently. It was two guys with balls tied to a chain. At night they would just spin and destroy the crops into design and made it look like alien messages.

It was a joke.

Answer 6

I presume you're joking, yet in basic terms in case it relatively is needless to say people. i think of if aliens bothered coming all this way they probable might have greater advantageous issues to do than create a huge image of a jellyfish in a container. it relatively is relatively an remarkable piece of artwork nonetheless.

Answer 7

Crop circles are human artefact wherever they are. They have all been made by humans.

Answer 8

No.besides,I have never seen a alien before,so then remains a mystery.

Answer 9

In 1991, more than a decade after the phenomenon began, two men from Southampton, England announced that the phenomenon of crop circles was an idea thought up one evening in a pub near Winchester, Hampshire in 1978. World War II veteran Doug Bower and his friend Dave Chorley revealed that they made their crop circles using planks, rope, hats and wire as their only tools. Bower and Chorley stated to reporters that a small group of people can stomp down a sizable area of crop in a single night using simple tools.

The pair became slightly frustrated that their work had not received as much publicity as they had hoped. In 1981 they created a crop circle in Matterley Bowl, a natural amphitheatre just outside Winchester, Hampshire - an area surrounded by roads from which a clear view of the field is available to drivers passing by.

Bower's wife had become increasingly suspicious of him due to noticing high levels of mileage in their car. Eventually, fearing that his wife suspected him of adultery, Bower confessed to her and subsequently informed a British national newspaper.

Bower revealed on TV the method he used. With a four-foot-long plank attached to a rope, circles of eight feet in diameter could be easily created. He stated that a 40-foot circle could be created by two men in a quarter of an hour. The designs were at first simple circles. When newspapers claimed that the circles could easily be explained by natural phenomena, Bower and Chorley chose more complex patterns. A simple wire with a loop, hanging down from a cap - the loop positioned over one eye - could be used to focus on a landmark to aid in the creation of straight lines. Later designs of crop circles became increasingly complex.

Dave Chorley died in 1996, and Doug Bower has made the occasional crop circle as recently as 2004. Bower has said that, had it not been for his wife's suspicions, he would have taken the secret to his deathbed, never revealing that it was a hoax.

Circlemakers.org, perhaps the best-known group of contemporary crop circle makers, was founded by John Lundberg. They have demonstrated that making what self-appointed cerealogist experts state are "unfakeable" crop circles is possible. One such cerealogist, Terence Meaden, was filmed claiming that a crop circle was genuine when the humans making the circle had been filmed the night before. On the night of July 11-12, 1992, a crop-circle making competition, for a prize of several thousand pounds (partly funded by the Arthur Koestler Foundation), was held in Berkshire. The winning entry was produced by three helicopter engineers, using rope, PVC pipe, a trestle and a ladder. Another competitor used a small garden roller, a plank and some rope. Minimal equipment and preparation sufficed to produce even the most complex crop circle designs.

Scientific American published an article by Matt Ridley, who started making crop circles in northern England in 1991. He wrote about how easy it is to develop techniques using simple tools that can easily fool later observers. He reported on "expert" sources such as the Wall Street Journal who had been easily fooled, and mused about why people want to believe supernatural explanations for phenomena that are not yet explained. Methods to create a crop circle are now well-documented on the Internet.

The first people to be legally charged with creating a crop circle were Hungarian teenagers Gabor Takacs and Robert Dallos, both 17 and from the St. Stephen Agricultural Technicum, a high school in Hungary specializing in agriculture. On the night of June 8, 1992 they created a 36 meter diameter crop circle in a wheat field near Székesfehérvár, 43 miles southwest of Budapest. On September 3rd, they appeared on a Hungarian TV show and exposed the circle as a hoax showing photos of the field before and after the circle was made. As a result, Aranykalasz Co., the owners of the land, sued the youngsters for Fts.630,000 (approximately 6,000 UK pounds) in damages. The court eventually ruled that the boys were only responsible for the damage caused in the 36 meters diameter circle, amounting to about Fts.6,000 (47 UK pounds). They concluded that 99% of the damage to the crops was caused by the thousands of visitors that flocked to Szekesfehervar following the media's promotion of the circle. The fine was eventually paid for by the TV show, as were the boys' legal fees.

Paranormal enthusiasts, including Gerald Hawkins, argue that some designs have a degree of complexity that humans would not be able to easily recreate on paper, let alone in a field at night. They argue that the shapes of these formations are far too complex, and display a tremendously high level of precision which make it extremely difficult for a team of humans to create using just simple hand tools. Circle makers respond by noting that the only tool necessary for perfect symmetry is a measured length of rope rotated around a central pivot point, and more complex asymmetrical shapes are created by using marked ropes as straight edges to position elements.

Many popular arguments hinge on some part of the crop being left intact after the hoaxing. While something of this nature is difficult to ascertain, skilled crop circle creators are adept at using tractor tramlines and landscape features to avoid leaving other marks in the field. On the other hand, crop circles in Canada have been found in crop having no tramlines, as fertilization is done by aircraft.

Hi. Only if they were not Brits.
