You decide to communicate with these beings.
What would be the easiest and/or best way to communicate?
Why make geometric designs on their farm fields. That's the ticket!
Perhaps they're not so advanced after all.

You know the character of most people? Wow. So, your personal generalization/stereotype as to "how people behave," supports the idea that ALIENS are responsible for crop circles!? You can't be serious. That's a terrible argument. Anyone can argue just the opposite. Do you have social science data to back up this assertion? I happen to know plenty of street artists who CHERISH their anonymity, and value the idea that viewers can appreciate their artistic productions without reference as to who made them. This is art that takes a great deal of time, energy, planning and expense, all down for the sake of itself, without regard to personal fame or fortune. It's the oldest "kind" of art, older than civilization itself.
"People would've freaked if they had started with the complex pictograms we see today."
I wouldn't have freaked. My mom wouldn't have freaked. I'm not entirely certain anyone would have "freaked." I don't really know what freaking is. Today's complex designs would certainly have been NOVEL had they been the first to appear, but it would hardly blow our minds in any sort of grand, psychedelic fashion. Hiroshima and Nagasaki didn't blow our collective minds, so I'm not sure why you suppose cool designs in fields of wheat would have "freaked" people beyond the limits of their comfortable 'freakability zones" in the 1970s.
"What we could be witnessing is a slow externalization over the years in order to get us used to the idea that we are not alone."
Quite an opaque way to communicate a simple message, don't you think? Images that look like they were designed by a teeneager with a giant spirograph somehow lead to the conclusion that we're not alone in the universe? I don't get it.

Now, would you like to please show evidence that men made ALL the crop circles, each and everyone of them, preferrably with photographic evidence of them doing it, along with their equipment?
how about you providing one little bit of evidence that aliens even exist, let alone make crop circles.... come on, just one little bit.....

I can tell you with absolute certainty that the technology I observed is FAR beyond anything we are capable of....I am comfortable saying with absolute certainty that yes, Aliens do exist and they visit us regularly...

Yet there is no evidence "aliens" even exist, yet you believe that they make crop circles, when it has been demonstrated man can make them?

*The burden of proof is on the debunkers: Either find the 'authors' of the unclaimed circles to come forward and 1) accept ownership, and of course 2) explain how they did it? Or, 3) create one yourself - COPY one even - half the work (design) is done for you - film it, and let it be analized for the bulleted points, above.

WRONG. The burden of proff is on the one makeing the ORIGINAL argument. You , and all the other CC believers , need to come up with concrete evidence that these are not man made.
There's Plenty of video of one guy. two guys, teams of guys, creating just as elaborate circles as depicted in the Original Video,(actually, some are the same), in the span of 6 hours overnight, in the bright moonlight, while the tired farmer rests.
The OP'er made the case, it's up to him/her to provide evidence that Humans are definitely NOT makeing all the CC's. and imo they haven't even come close.
The Fact that you CITE the OLIVER's CASTLE incident, is a terrible givaway to your lack of knowledge of THIS subject. That has been a KNOWN HOAX since nearly the day it was realesed. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? LOLOLOL.
BTW I suggest you sit down and read for a few months, after makeing an account here, before telling people to cancel thier accounts.
Do YOURself a favor, and the rest of us as well, and cancel your account. haha. Oliver's Castle......you have got to be kidding me,. I didn't even see that clip in the video. The fact that it is, makes that whole video suspect. It's The BIGGEST KNOWN HOAX in Crop Circle History.
