crop circles

Hi folks! Having a discussion about crop circles, with myself arguing that they're all "fakes". The guy I'm talking to claims that "real" circles have bent stalks, and "fake" ones have broken stalks. Stalks cannot be bent by fakers, he says. I've seen this claim made many times, and googling...

Woo-woos hurting their brains "thinking"... "The reason aliens aren't doing crop circles anymore": http://www.freedomcrowsnest.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=91760&sid=a24637333747ec3d527ed4223324c579

Simon Beck, an English artist who lives in France in the winter, creates these "snow circle" designs using an orienteering compass, measuring tape, and a clothesline. Each piece takes about 10 hours or so. Beautiful work.

Ok so one of the bigfooters around here, pointed me to this. i was aware of the Binary message we sent out from arecibo in 1974. What i was not aware of is the fact that some are claiming that the message was answered, in the form of a crop circle in 1991 (I think I'm remembering that...

Has anyone watched this? Link. From the trailer and from reviews of it, "Thrive" is a documentary about free energy, the mysterious powers of the torus, the evils of the Federal Reserve Bank, UFOs, secret societies, conspiracies (including 9/11 according to reviews), crop circles, evil pharma...

Given the recent revelations by Lance Moody that ufologist and researcher, writer Phil Imbrogno lied about his MIT degree, and the resulting kerfluffle in ufological circles; I think it worth revisiting the claim that William Levengood, one of the 'leading' scientific investigators - among the...

In the last few weeks some mysterious circles seems to have formed under water in Denmark. Experts don't know what it is and are waiting for a diving expedition to deliver some results in a few days. What do you think it is? Danish link with pictures...

Some of you may know I work a lot with UFO and alien abductee believers. One problem I have is with crop circles. WHen I talk about government conspiracy cover up (in regards to UFOs and aliens) I point out that with all the people involved, someone would talk. In fact lots of someones and...

Just a quickie - does anyone know why the Google logo today is composed of crop circles? (hovering my mouse pointer over it does nothing)

According to 'cereologists', or whatever they call themselves these days. Oh and the Daily Telegraph. Hoo boy!;) Final sentence of the piece is, er, interesting.

Link Another attempted government coverup. Don't tell me the dark spot on the right horizon on the third photo down isn't a UFO.

Does anyone know anything about these particular crop circles - or could you direct me to a good skeptical article on them? A good friend of mine sent me this You Tube link. It seems the big deal about these particular crop circles is that several plates were evidently discovered underneath...

Greetings, I have really been enjoying going through the podcast archive on Skepticality and had no idea that the show was online until I did a mp3 search for James Randi interviews. While I am not an atheist or secular humanist (Painesian Deist here - so not unionized), Tom Flynn's interviews...

Does anyone know about this? http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,368422,00.html

Here's one example tractor circle. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2008/05/photogalleries/wip-week82/photo3.html Pretty cool art. :)

I have always thought that crop circles are all man-made. That is simply the best and easiest explanation of the crop circle phenomena. Recently, I am starting to have some doubts about the man-made hypothesis. I discovered that there are actually scientific research going on studying about crop...

I just finished watching someone on television talking about the "truth" of crop circles (something about wormholes causing them, I wasn't really taking notice). What did catch my interest was her assertion that there is evidence of circles in snow, with no footprints around them and also...

I offer you proof! Man, IE really needs to break out of the Earth market...

From here: The croppies are all a twitter.

Being 17 years old I still have to go to high school and find myself surrounded by people of the same age or a bit older or a bit younger. Now we had to do this presentation on Powerpoint about any subject we liked. The group I was in, 4 people, chose supernatural phenomena but in particular 4...

You couldn't make this up. However, somebody must have. Has anyone heard of this "logo"? Looks like it was made last week to me.

So I was watching a doco about crop circles in which one was created using Mayan symbols and was said to have some significance with 2012. I was wondering if anyone here would know why people who believe in alien visiations or aliens creating crop circles would secretly manufacture them...

Sigh... crop circles again. Well I'm back with more questions! I know you guys probably heard everything up and down and sideways about crop circles. So here we go yet again: A friend of mine saw a crop circles "documentary" by National Geographic and is convinced that even though some of them...

Circular Sightings Tough to Explain Sure, they're tough to explain if you don't bother letting pesky skeptics get in your way. Well, he's a noo-cu-lar fizzicist! He must know! Who we gonna believe, him or someone who actually makes crop circles? Nah, he don't have no degree! They must be...

I was looking up some information on crop circles today. In Google, one of the first sites to come up was for a group called Circlemakers, who create these designs all the time. They have photos of many of them, including ones they made for a Nike commercial, and a "Hello Kitty" circle for...

But first, a bit of a background: In 1996 a man by the name John Wabe of England, produced what seemed to be the definite proof of crop circles as a real paranormal phenomena. It's a video filmed in plain daylight showing misterious balls of light hovering in circles over a wheat field, and the...
