Crop circles - Signs or Warnings?

smoke
By smoke

So since we are all into the whole "there could be intelligent life out there", I'd like for us to discuss another phenomena occurring around the world. Crop circles.

Where do they come from. How are they made. most of them appear over night. Are they signals or signs? Are they warnings? Are they proof of intelligent life? Whats your theory?

One theory i've read about is that these are part by part drawings to some intergalactic star ship. Sort of like a blue print. Could this really be possible or is it just another random conspiracy theory? Read more about it here: www.cropcircleship.com/wiki/Introduction

Within the last 10 years I lived in rural Wiltshire, where alot of these creations appear in England. I can 100 % confirm that alot of these are elaborated hoax's. I have witnessed how clever a team of knowledgable enthusiasts can create the most intiricate pieces of art.

Doesnt account for them all but its not as hard as you think...

So it's man-made. Confirmed in an episode of National Geographic. They can do it overnight. They check for radiation emissions on crop circles but found little to none, so a machine from a UFO is not present to create them, and also confirmed that the UFO sightings on the areas were fake.

Plus some videos and photos were fake...but the amusing variability of the complex designs makes it curious for us to watch how it was made.

This logic seems does not fit according to available various crop circle. If it is because of some kind of fan then it must be only plain circle not the so many pattern...

Please overview this site and make conclusion.

i have a theory here....(smoke,sorry for repeating it in print...but i have to tell these guys too)

i'd like to think of them this way.imaigine the scenario of an enormous spaceship...y'know the typical sci-fi one....huge circular and saucer shaped.now that thing needs some kinda thrust to lift itself from the base.right?owing to it's circular base,it needs a lot of extremely powerful fans of some kind to lift it from the base....to give it that thrust.so maybe some of these spaceships chose to land on earth on these places and in the event of take-off,the thrusting force caused by the high pressure air from the fans would have caused the plants to bend down....if u notice,almost all such patterns are more-or-less circular....which further accertains my point.

Again doing something this massive in the day time perhaps possible..imagine doing it in the night...you mean to say it still goes unnoticed?

Why aliens? Why not Vampires? ( with their super human strength and speed. oh and do they fly? ) Why not angels? ( Maybe its a sign? ) or maybe its leprechauns ( Hiding their gold their magical symbols ) . I call hoax on it personally.

I remember i read somewhere, the biggest one sized almost 6000 ft .. Isn't that practically impossible for a human to do over night?

I have done a lot of reading in the subject matter, I am still not convinced.

The whole point of these people is to mislead us and keep the mystery goin...thats why they dont come forward and admit it.

Something so huge will definitely be noticed if not by humans at least by animals that got more sharper senses than us. Nothing strange reported in these places where it was spotted....everything was as usual except the crop designs...researches are trying to get a clue for ages….

why they don’t have anything to prove yet?? If I get abducted will come back and confirm it..

By smoke• 4 Feb 2010 11:30

Ok the matter here is if we say fine they are created by humans..its a possibility...then again what is the purpose? Whats with all the circles? is there a message to gain from it? Is it just a work of art?

There are hundreds of crop circle research going on, you may findout more interesting story here,

http://www.cropcircleconnector.com

By the way there are some groups who does creat the circle but more than 50 percent are very complecated which is impossible to create by few person on overnight.

So do these circle makers travel to different parts of the world to create their designs? I'm sorry but the site you gave me is blocked right now so i cant read through it to know the revealing secrets :P

Smoke back in the olden days, the designs weren't as large and complex as they are now. They were created using a scythe, or sometimes burnt.

And just because someone doesnt' step forward and claim it doesn't mean it's something supernatural.

I've done some absolutely marvelous works of art using toilet paper on friends yards back in the day, and I never stepped forward :P

Chocoholic care to explain how crop circles were made in the 1500? These circles date way back and even IF they were man made why dont people come forward and say that its their work of art?

Are you serious? All you have to do is google it. Or wiki it. Or whatever. You can find out how to make your own!

Why do you all assume that something large and complex could NOT have been made by humans?

"Circlemakers.org, a group of crop circle makers founded by John Lundberg, have demonstrated that making what self-appointed cereologist experts state are "unfakeable" crop circles is possible. On more than one occasion, such cereologists have claimed that a crop circle was "genuine" when in fact the people making the circle had previously been filmed making the circle.

Scientific American published an article by Matt Ridley,[13] 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"

svelte_saggi.. i wasn't saying it's a hoax.. was just saying what i've watched before.. :)

even me, i find it difficult to believe that this can be man made, with the accuracy of the measurements (reading some references that the length between each points are exactly the same from every point)...

but for me, i wanted to know.. how this can be there overnight.... http://www.bertjanssen.nl/cropcircles/photos.html

WK even if something that huge was a space ship and it DOES get detected, 1. would the government arrive in time to catch them in the act? 2. Perhaps our technology isnt all that up to date to detect their crafts? Possibilities are there dont you think?

These are just a FEW pics of crop circles. There are much more complicated ones out there that no group of students are capable of doing. However there has been few cases where crop circles have been duplicated by advertising companies, but even that has taken more than a few days to do.

svelte that's the point. look at the size of that.. If something so huge comes from outer space it would get detected.. Humans are not so far back in technology.

I've watched a documentary about this before, where they are saying that these are being done by group of students, they plan and do the whole complicated designs overnight using a long similar to plywood as a sketcher (they put these as their shoes and attach as a string)...i will see if i can find this documentary online...

smoke,i'm with you in this.as always it's difficult to make people believe of anything that seems out of the ordinary.the human race has been known to resist change...any sort of change for that matter.they come across something that is unknown...destroy it!but then,like Mahatma Gandhi once said "the only thing that is permanent...is change" :-) cheers! \m/

Yousri, there are a few fakes out there but if you do your research you'd see they are for real. It would certainly take a heck of a intelligent person or persons to make a drawing in a big open field to come out so perfectly.

Yes SS, and to imagine such complex designs being done over night. Certainly not humanly possible..or is it? What is the purpose of it? How many people would it take to make such a complex design?
