Hi all, long time lurker, first time poster.
Ok about 5 times in this thread i've seen believers in CC's say "what about the elongated nodes ?"
In horticulture there is a practice known as supercropping, this is mainly practiced by people growing plants indoors and have problems with them getting too tall. The procedure is carried out by taking the stem of the plant between the fingers and snapping it so that it now hangs at 90 degrees or below to the lower part of the stem.After a week or 2 the stem will then repair itself and stand upright by the way of forming a knuckle or node at the break point.This node is naturally elongated to create strong repair tissue at the break point. This stem will also produce larger stronger crop at the time of harvest.
Now think about it, by flattening crops circle makers are doing exactly the same method on a large scale and the elongated nodes are just natures way of dealing with the damage. You can see evidence of this in any wheat field without a circle, just take look in the tractor lines and find any stem damaged by the wheels a few weeks before and it will have signs of elongated nodes.

i dont doubt the farming practice you point out, but from what ive seen & heard about authentic crop circles (the ones apparently not man made)
the node you mention is not the same as you dont point out the small hole also found in the node in crop circles not made by man, & the man made crop circles apparently do not have this tiny hole in the nodes.
so like i say the farming pratice you mention to stretch nodes to increase harvests are quite different from none man made crop circles.
so i guess untill iether :
1:the gutless spineless human crop circle makers grow some balls & come forward & demonstrate there talants in the field with planks of wood.
or
2:the highly secretive aliens or perhaps unknown phenomina is captured & forced to tell us all how its done !.
or
3:the government resposible for using its fandangled satalite to damage crops should come forward & disclose this fandangled technology & pay for the criminal damage !!.

Therefore, I don't buy the explanation. The man made one's are efforts to imitate the real deal, and they don't even do a good job of it.
However, intriguing data published in peer-reviewed scientific journals clearly establishes that some of these geometric designs, found in dozens of countries, are not made by "pranks with planks." In fact, a study about to be published by a team of scientists and funded by Laurance Rockefeller concludes "it is possible that we are observing the effects of a new or as yet undiscovered energy source."
In the early 1990s, biophysicist William C. Levengood, of the Pinelandia Biophysical Laboratory, in Michigan, examined plants and soils from 250 crop formations, randomly selected from seven countries. Samples and controls were provided by the Massachusetts-based BLT Research Team, directed by Nancy Talbott. Levengood, who has published over 50 papers in scientific journals, documented numerous changes in the plants from the formations. Most dramatic were grossly elongated plant nodes (the "knuckles" along the stem) and "expulsion cavities" -- holes literally blown open at the nodes -- caused by the heating of internal moisture from exposure to intense bursts of radiation. The steam inside the stems escaped by either stretching the nodes or, in less elastic tissue, exploding out like a potato bursting open in a microwave oven.
...A strange brown "glaze" covering plants within a British formation was the subject of Levengood and John A. Burke's 1995 paper in the Journal of Scientific Exploration. The material was a pure iron that had been embedded in the plants while the iron was still molten. Tiny iron spheres were also found in the soil. In 1999, British investigator Ronald Ashby examined the glaze through optical and scanning electron microscopes. He determined that intense heat had been involved -- iron melts at about 2,700 degrees Fahrenheit -- administered in millisecond bursts. "After exhaustive inquiry, there is no mundane explanation for the glaze" he concluded. In another paper for Physiologia Plantarum (1999), Levengood and Talbott suggested that the energy causing crop circles could be an atmospheric plasma vortex -- multiple interacting electrified air masses that emit microwaves as they spiral around the earth's magnetic-field lines. Some formations, however, contain cubes and straight lines.

Awesome job showing even more proof that all crop circles are man made, then people scam everybody with their websites by making some big ole story up about what they mean. You are a credit to ATS and Denying Ignorance. I am glad that you are here.
