Well, actually, if aliens were leaving messages, I could possibly believe that they would make them cryptic enough to the point where if we could figure them out, perhaps we would be ready to join the larger galactic community at large, at least in their eyes. So that wouldn't be completely unbelievable imo.
However, I have high doubts they'd do so with crop circles. I'd expect them to send radio or light signals or something else, that they would know our scientists and such would actually look at. I also think they'd spread them wider than one small community repeatedly.
The other problem with it is that the supposedly "translated" messages always seem to be dire warnings. Look, if an alien lifeform decided to help us, why would they make puzzling crop circles? If they were being decent enough to actually aid us in a time of need, a more direct approach would make sense. Not "Omg.. something terrible is going to happen! Here.. we'll help by scribbling cryptic messages around in crops in a small town and hope you all figure it out in time *snicker*"

All one has to do is 'FOLLOW THE MONEY'. The local pubs have never been busier, Restaurants are full, hotels are full, everyone is selling crop circle calendars and other crop circle knick-knacks. There are tour bus rides, heliocopter rides even the farmers are driving brand new vehicles. These things are not made at night they are made during the day. While everyone is 'PAYING' to go see the latest crop pattern the people who make them are a couple of hills over making the next one. And at night while all those people are on stake-out waiting for the U.F.O.'s to make the next one the locals laugh and count all the money they just made from the gullible people that think space based microwaves or aliens made these.
When i read that billionaire David Rockefeller spent money into "researching" crop circles, well you basically have everything you need. You give money to a hand full of people to go out and create these crop circles, cause i for one wouldn't go out and do it for pleasure.

Why do they have to be always be aliens from another planet? Couldn't they be from this planet. Can we all agree that the human soul does exist and passes on to another dimension after death? Some would also argue that the human souls intellect is immeasurable.
Why couldn't these "aliens" origin be from Earth? Why do they always have to be from the planet Vulcan or something? Wouldn't it be possible for a human soul to make such crop circles? Which is what I think these orbs are.

Thanks for the reply. That is possible, but highly unlikely. What benefit would there be for the military to have the means to create crop cirlces?

a group of guys could easily create any of these things. It just seems wrong to me to start attributing everything you dont understand to some crazy force
