Ho Hum, Crop Circles Yet Again.

[SusanB-M1]

There was a book with excellent aerial photos of crop circles which made a good Christmas present a few years ago. As far as I remember, it did NOT promote any non-human designers or makers.

That would most likely be Steve Alexandra's Crop Circle Yearbook. If it's the one I'm thinking of, it's just a photo album of crop circles and doesn't promote anything except Steve Alexandra's photography.

"The fact that people can fake [crop circles] doesn't mean that there aren't real ones. It's in my gray basket."

I guess there will always be a few circles that can never be confirmed to be made by human hands (because the makers are already dead or something), so the believers will be able to hang on to their belief indefinitely.

This year's Peter Sorenson crop circle however was commissioned by Scott Flansburg, who is in the Guinness book of world records as the fastest human calculator and can be seen here: http://cropcircleconnector.com/Sorensen/2006/magicnumbers2006.html

It has to be noted that most of the photographs released for this formation are heavily 'photoshopped' as some rows of numbers were not 'stomped' due to a tramlinee running through the centre of the formation.

Although no one does regular demonstrations of crop circle making, the guys at circlemakers.org (including John Lundberg) get involved at least once a year with TV production companies (Nat Geo, BBC etc) to demonstrate their art. These 'demonstrations' are not accepted by those who follow the 'Church of the Blind Faith' and preach from the Gospel according to Glickman however and no amount of evidence will ever sway them from their un-ending belief in the ridiculous.

No sht !

When Simmie and I were there the day after completing it we encountered a group of Germans who politely challenged us that no one could not have made such a complex crop circle. After much discussion someone who had videoed us working on the numbers from up on Woodborough Hill came forward and showed them his shots. Although filmed from far away, one could plainly see Ripley flattening the numbers. But the German who could speak English best then shook his head in frustration and told me that he was inclined to believe that that the video was computer animation (!).

Hahahaha..... Yes I know what you mean... there has been a full article written by these Germans in regard to Peter Sorenson's crop circle. Claiming that Sorenson didn't make it, couldn't possibly have made it and is a Hoaxer claiming a 'genuine' crop circle.
Of course they can't tell the difference between Peter's and one of 'unknown origin' - because there is no difference.
