What about this crop circle?

[Fnord]

We'ed better not let this grow too far, or it will begin to chaff our mods. Who knows what might take root in their minds? They might decide to make all leaf before a mighty row starts up a whirlwind that winnows us all away, leaving only an empty dustbowl behind.

Now they're drawing pictures of themselves into our fields? I mean, I bet the alien that did it is an art school reject coming to backwaters like Earth to show off stuff that is so passe on Regulous 5.

 

[AdMan]

They're just mashed over plants. No special properties.

I'm guessing anyone who claims there are special EM properties or evidence that plant joints were microwaved (whatever that means) are doing what ghost hunters like to do: using some measurement device with the gain cranked up to the max and then trying to make something significant out of the noise the device reports.

Yup. Crop circles are hardly alien or supernatural. Just the product of some creative and hardworking--and very human--artists.

Circlemakers.org is a good site but I'm not sure how up-to-date it is kept.

Less and less over the years but they still add bits to it, just not the comprehensive reports they used to.

Anyone really interested in learning the TRUTH (that's the real truth BTW, not the alien BS) should consider buying 'The Field Guide' by Rob Irving and John Lundberg. It's an entertaining read and pours much cold water on the 'scientific analysis' done by Levengoode (he's the guy who developed the microwave blx theory), as well as destroying the myths that have inevitably driven this particular branch of woo.

As for the Alien Face/Disc at Crabwood.
It was made over three nights... It was a very complex and time consuming job and so it was decided (by the people who made it) to make it away from the usual crop circle hot spots of Avebury, Alton Barnes etc.
Busty Taylor (crop circle researcher) found a LED torch with a green bulb on the day of it's discovery (there is a photo of it on the web somewhere but I can't be assed looking for it right now).
As for the overall style of the Alien, it was a theme for a while making halftone faces and in this case a face made up of lines.
A series of adverts were done using similar technique for Orange and one for Richard & Judy the same year.

And as I seem to be getting a reputation for silly pictures... And people are always asking how can people possibly make crop circles without leaving any signs of human involvement... Here's the answer:

wow...this virtually proves that aliens have a gps and pc. we are dooomed!!

You can scythe that again.

I for one am getting sickle tired of it.

They are no match for our awesome Pun Cannon™. We shall groan them clean out of the Galaxy.

 

[tsig]

Neat. Time travel is proven.

Yep but the boat only sails downriver.

 

[tsig]

Yeah, and considering how advanced their technology must be to transverse galaxies and all that you'd think they could do something a little more impressive... like granite circles or something.

Or annihilating the Earth. If you can play around with enough energy to get you from the nearest star to here in anything like a human lifespan then eliminating a planet would be mere child's play.

 

[tsig]

Thank you for your answer! I dont believe in aliens making crop circles.. I just have a debate with some one that do believe in this. Mostly I debate 911, and know of many debunking sites and persons to contact if im stuck like Mark Roberts and Ryan McKey.

Now, when it comes to crop circles im a bit lost. So I was hoping for good sources on this crop circel. Not made form a conspiracy nut. For all I know, this circle could be photoshop or made by some one that had taken "responsability" for it.

So I was hoping for good sources on this crop circel, and maby sources on debunking crop circles?

Take a board, go into a field and start pressing down grain in a geometric pattern.

 

[Akhenaten]

Sails UP the river. The current takes it back down, although I may be in denial.

 

[realpaladin]

It looks to me like some finally has done what I thought of a little while ago; do ASCII art in the crop fields.

Now we wait for the first advertisements.

You seem to be more familiar with the crop circle issue than the average person. Have you seen this vid? Rob Irving and John Lundberg are in it.

Weren't you taken from your tomb and tossed in the Nile?

 

[GT/CS]

Are you suggesting that the appearance of crop circles based on fractal patterns in the '80s and the rise of the PC in that same decade wasn't a coincidence? I'm shocked!

Steve S

Yes, it's stating the obvious but some believers don't make the connection unless someone hits them between the eyes with it.

 

[Limbo]

Yup. Crop circles are hardly alien or supernatural. Just the product of some creative and hardworking--and very human--artists.

Creative and hardworking human artists + unconscious human psychic ability = complex crop circles that are 'man-made' yet not 'hoaxes'. No ETs or angels needed.

Circlemakers.org is a good site but I'm not sure how up-to-date it is kept.

Speaking of Circlemakers...

http://www.circlemakers.org/weird_****.html

"Once more during the same week, I was out circlemaking with a friend in the same locale. After four hours in the field, as the formation was nearing completion, I was suddenly overcome by a strong sense of foreboding... shortly followed by a similar burst of light. Not wanting to chance a meeting with the source of the flashes, we left. I decided to make that my last formation of 1994." -John Lundberg

"The photograph was taken on a 35mm SLR camera, using standard 100 ASA print film. The exposure was set at 1/250 or 1/500 of a second. Paranormal researcher Andy Collins has digitally examined the negative and concluded that the white disc like object hanging over the middle of the crop formation is neither a cloud, a flaw on the negative, an insect or a fake. It remains unexplained." -Rod Dickinson

"What you have to get over is the fact that first humans are making the circles. Secondly, you have to understand that circles are having an effect, and that people are experiencing strange things. And then the concept of whether or not this is hoaxing, or whether people are trying to be fooled, I think goes out the window.

Once you realize that crop circles ARE REAL, no matter whether I make them, or a UFO makes them, or maybe an alien makes them, y'know they all attract paranormal phenomena. And it doesn't matter who's making the crop circle.

It's a very large, magical symbol...like a talisman. It has a power and an energy that goes beyond just the simple form and shape. I don't like the word hoaxing." -Matt Williams

 

[Akhenaten]

No. All of that is wrong.

 

[Fnord]

Creative and hardworking human artists + unconscious human psychic ability = complex crop circles that are 'man-made' yet not 'hoaxes'. No ETs or angels needed...

There is no such thing as psychic ability, conscious or otherwise. Thus, any claims based on the opposite will automatically fail.

On your barge, right?

 

[I Ratant]

A "hoaxed" CC would be one Photo-shopped onto a photo of a grain field, without there being a "genuine" CC at the site of the photo.
Serious cerealologists going to the site would be more flummoxed than is normal for the type, with the "evidence" that the CC had been removed!

Ha-ha, that's where you're wrong. Psi is mostly unconscious, that's why it's so damn elusive and tricky. Combine our collective unconscious psi with a holographic universe and presto! you have elusive anomalies like UFOs and crop circles and remote viewing and missing time.
