You Have To Be Kidding Me

I was cleaning my room the other day and under my bed was a box with a bunch of VCR tapes I haven't watched in years.I come upon an old tape with a documentary on "Crop Circles".Up until about 12 years ago I drank like a fish,so I can't remember taping it.Anyway,the people that lived there thought it was created by Aliens.Sure enough,two guys showed up claiming that humans did this but they failed horribly when they tried to match it.

Who is making these Crop Circles? I'm very interested in what your take is on this issue.
 
Haha, I'm beginning to think you're becoming a conspiracy nut, Mr. Kaz. :lol

I have seen a show on this, where a group of people perfectly recreated a complex crop circle, in just a few hours. Most of the formations just take a basic knowledge of geometry, and a few simple tools to make.

I've always wondered how they did do it.

What "simple" tools did they use?

†B†V† :hat
 
i saw something on TV about this. apparently they used just planks of wood and ropes and just moved out in a circle. they showed a time lapse and it only took them about 4 hours to make giant circles. they used signals with the moon so they wouldn't have to talk to anyone or make noise.

If I could find the exact video I saw, I might be able to be a little more accurate in my description here (as it's been at least a year since I saw the special), but it just took a length of rope, and and a board to evenly flatten the crops. They had one person stand at the center of the circle, holding the length of rope. The other person grabbed the other end of the rope, walked outward until it was tense. Then he walked about the person, flattening the corn as he went. When he was finished, they had a circle.

This was one example of how they made one shape. I don't remember many other specifics of the process though, so I honestly can't tell you how they did the rest. If I could actually find the stupid video, you would be able to get a fuller answer. As is now, that's all I remember, other than the fact that they were able to replicate the crop circle of course.

Sorry I can't tell you much more than that.

I'm pretty sure that's the show I'm talking about.
 
Although I strongly believe in ambient life other than us on Earth, I think that crop circles were proven to be a hoax years ago.

That's a cute video FrakAttack,with all due respect,humans cannot replicate the extreme accuracy depicted in these various patterns,it's too extreme.

If they were purely random, I would agree with you, but they're geometric patterns. That makes the whole thing a bit easier I think.

Hi Cherry,

How do you explain the relationship of these circles that appear all over the world,as well as having no paths where the humans did when they tried to duplicate it?To appreciate the true dimensions from above in a plain,how are they supposed to know how accurate they are without going through all this trouble,not to mention at night.
 
Accuracy could be ensured through geometry.

For example, if you wished to flatten a perfect square of corn, or wheat, or whatever your crop may be, all you would have to do is drive four stakes in the ground, with an equal distance between adjacent stakes. This would give you an outline of the square (guaranteed to have four 90 degree angles), and you would merely have to flatten all crops within the square. Circle? Put a stake in the center, attach a rope to it, move away from the stake until the rope is tense, then walk around it flattening as you go. Virtually any shape that is in a crop circle can be created relatively easily, and accurately, provided you measure correctly, and know a bit about geometry.

Belief in alien doodles is cute, but step by step instructions on how to create them is reality. I understand our desire to believe in something bigger than ourselves, but the human origin of these things has been proven over and over again. Besides, don't you think that super-advanced beings from another world would have better things to do than to turn wheat fields into giant Etch A Sketches? Show me a Monolith on the moon and then maybe I'll believe.
 
I'm sorry Kaz, it was me. I did their lawn, but they didn't pay me for it. So as revenge, we made crop designs. I am totally sorry :(

So...then..umm...are you an alien???????? J/K



And, I think crop circles are cool, but I do not think aliens made em.

This explains some crop circles cases, but a lot still remain unexplained. For example, most crop circles don't leave crops flattened or bent as you could easily do with the method described. In a lot of cases the crop has actually been meshed or woven together, and in many other cases the area where crop circles have appeared has left a fine black residue on the soil underneath, as though is has been scorched. Many cases also see the area of the crop circle yielding to produce any more crops for years afterwards. Kind of hard to do that with a wooden plank and a length of rope in a couple hours.

It is also relatively well known that most farmers who find crop circles on their property don't report it, either because they don't want to encourage prankish behaviour, or they just don't want the attention. There are a lot more sightings and crop circles out there that we ever even hear of, so any statistics on how many can be explained by x theory still only accounts for a certain number of reported crop circles.
 
I think crop circles are quite interesting. Even though I believe they are all done by humans {or a human machine} I still think they are cool and should be seen almost as works of art.

For that little stunt,you are fined $75.00 and suspended from the forum for a term of 25 years.Discuss it with Dart,he will finalize all the details. :D :D

Well if you consider a 76' Pinto a space ship..then yes :)
