Crop formations in southern England overwhelmingly occur where this electrically-charged rock is closest to the surface. The largest formations and most frequent formations happen late in the summer when the aquifer is most run down, and the most water has therefore run through the most rock. The beginning of the modem phenomenon of large, spectacular formations begins in the late seventies and early eighties, a time when over-pumping for public water supplies began to lower the water table noticeably. Droughts have coincided with banner years for crop formations.
In England, our team has measured the kind of magnetic fields one would expect to accompany such electric ground currents in one field that has nearly annual formations. Four days later a major formation occurred there. Follow-up fluxgate magnetometer measurements four days after this sixty-foot dumbbell formation appeared showed that the magnetic readings and the currents which produced them had vanished. This is not unlike the discharge with that more powerful plasma—lightning. In that case ground current attracts the airborne plasma, and when the plasma (the bolt) hits the surface it neutralizes the ground current.
Limestone is the chemical twin of chalk. It too is calcium carbonate, but much less porous than chalk. It too has the ability to generate ground currents from interaction with water, but not nearly so much as chalk. Thus it is fascinating to note that limestone aquifers are the major exception to crop formations occurring over chalk substrata. Formations in England do happen a minority of the time on the large limestone aquifers there.
In the U.S. we have no substantial chalk deposits, but huge stretches of limestone aquifers: in Florida, on the Eastern Coastal Plain, throughout much of the Midwest, and virtually all of the Great Plains, extending into Canada. Finally a thin stretch runs down the West Coast. These locations are where crop formations occur. As in England, the most active sites seem to frequently be where an edge of the aquifer occurs or where a river valley has cut through the aquifer to produce an edge. Proximity to water is also typical (no surprise considering the current generated between water and the rock it ran through).

FACT - 98% of all uk crop circles happen over the chalk aquifer - coincidence?

Why must it be one person?
How long do you take to change a tire on a car?
How long does a Formula 1 team takes to change the four tires in a F1 car?

After all it's the same geological "block", it also exists under the channel and on the North Sea, but I am not expecting crop circles in the water.

They are a total mystery.

Another thing that debunkers never touch on is the fact that in a lot of these circles the plant affected by whatever voodoo is in use are changed at the molecular level. Not JUST bent nodes, but abnormal iron deposits at the bend. Microwave radiation levels are regularly high inside the glyph...
They paid some smartellecks from MIT, who said they could reproduce these effects, to try it and they failed miserably... To reproduce the iron deposits they literally blew something up in the air above the circle to scatter pieces of iron throughout the circle. But they weren't able, obviously, to implant them INTO the plant itself.
They walked around the circle with a microwave oven blasting the grass.
They broke the crop. Their circle was very crude.
And they failed to meet the 12 hour time constraint.
Naysay all you like but NOBODY has given a good argument either way.
They are a mystery.

I do not have any explanation for any biochemical and physical changes that may happen to the affected crops. What biochemical and physical changes are reported? Are they consistent and common to all crop circles believed to have been made by unknown means (either ET, HAARP, etc.)?

I don't know, I am not a plant expert. What were the cellular changes reported? Are they consistent and common to all crop circles believed to have been made by unknown means (either ET, HAARP, etc.)?
how can stalks be bent without any breakage and also exhibit changes to their cellular structure?
Does that mean that the only way of doing that is with a ray gun?
did the crop circle makers have some sort of ray gun?!?
