Yes, there is communication there, however if we are having visitors why not communicate either in one of our many languages or even with mathematics? They would've had plenty of information by now to have learned enough about us to communicate effectively.
Then again, this could just be one of those intergalactice "space punks" that go out and graffiti planets...

What do these have anything to do with aliens? Who cares if that picture is moving, it has nothing to do with crop circles. Yes I see how the design is similar, but saying that it moves so it must be created by aliens? Who ever said crop circles appeared to move?
How can you be 100% sure they were all created by humans? Have you met every single creator of all of these? Have all the creators came out and told you they made these?
Your agruement really doesn't have any relevance. Its one thing to be able to make something like this on a computer, but a completetly different task when you would try to do this blindly in a field. Also doing it with exploding nodes, stalks not bending, land becoming permanently dry beneath, changes in EM readings... Oh, and all of this within a few hours.

Here is a link, half way down they show the difference between man made (bent stalks) and "Natural" occurring circles (exploded nodes).

Dried ground. The soil beneath crop circles often appears inexplicably dehydrated, even after heavy rain.
Elongated nodes. Joseph E. Mason at "Arguments Against the Hoax Theory of Crop Circles" says that there is a distinct difference between crops that are bent in genuine circles and those bent by hoaxers. With photos to support his claim, Mason says: "The bent node of the plant from inside a [genuine] crop formation is elongated yet undamaged. Plant stems bent by people via mechanical means appear damaged and do not have the elongated nodes."
Bent unbendable plants. Some plants just should not be able to be bent, say some researchers. "Crop circle formations often appear in canola (oil seed rape) fields," says Joseph Mason. "This plant has a consistency like celery. If the stalk is bent more than about 45-degrees, it snaps apart. Yet, in a 'genuine' crop circle formation, the stalks are often bent flat at 90-degrees. No botanist or other scientist has been able to explain this, nor has it ever been duplicated by a human being."

If you can logically explain all of these, then you made a believer out of me that all crop circles are faked. I would really like to see your taking one the ones that even scientists could not explain and/or recreate.

I have asked this before but I never got responses, but I'll say it again. How does that crap prove aliens made crop circles? Could you all have worse analytical minds than me?

However many hoaxers come forward or are found out, their existence has no bearing on the origins of other circles. Some of the ones I have seen are awesomely complex and their manner of creation as yet inexplicable.
Most of the hoaxes I have seen are quite rudimentary, and the reports of those who have researched the subject in depth contain many differences between these and the complex ones which are not claimed by any hoaxers.

1. Who are you? Just so cos you said you can means you can do the job?
2. How's the judging of a crop circle? a couple of circles? destroyed or no destruction of crops? Are you gonna create some device to leave behind some measureable signature on the crop? You dont even specify the parameters.
3. Are you gonna whine and make excuses when your attempt is not up to mark? Most will, eg..time, delays, the other guy was lousy, etc...
3. Any refund for the flight and transportation costs of you and the team in the event if it is not up to mark, as all hoaxers' crop circle are gonna be?
4. Who's gonna pay for the crop in the event you failed in your attempt?
All this for your $400? Does it solve anything to the enigma of crop circles except your human hubris of pride without fully understanding the consequences of your action? Please do not think others are fools. When no one takes the challenge, you are gonna say no one dares put their money where their mouth is in this attempt to silence others. Fact is, why bother spending money on you and later suffer the whines and excuses? If someone is really keen on finding out the truth of crop circles, there are better ways to do it than on some childish prank.
I apologise if what i said sounds hurtful, but we are only interested in the truth of crop circles. Crop circles are not a day's outting at the horse race.
Better pick a crop that it is worht smashing over. Wheat?
