crop circles are man made people..... Do some research and open your mind to other possiblities.
Zulu shamen say their ancestors planted corn or millet on sacred sites, into which no-one was then allowed.
Only the birds who fed on the seeds, and small animals who lived there, entered the protected fields after the planting.
Tribesmen were accordingly astonished when circular patterns were later found in the centre of the crops.
“These circles were an amazing sight to see,” says Zulu holy man Credo Mutwa. “The gods never cut the stalks of the corn or millet when they formed these depressions. It appeared as though a great circular disc-shaped force had descended on the field.
“It pressed the corn into the ground without breaking the stalks or damaging the plants. Then the force appeaed to have spun, resulting in the strange spiral appearance of the fallen stalks.
“Whenever a circle appeared in the fields, the people rushed to erect a fence of poles around the circle. They would dance and perform other sacred rituals honouring the star gods and the Earth Mother.
Aboriginal cave drawings in Western Australia also appear to depict crop circles, as do ancient etchings in Ireland. Later, in 1678, a woodcut titled ‘The Mowing Devil’ told of a circle in Hertfordshire.

It's pretty sad when people believe everything they read on the internet.
when there are many many talented members on this site who spend alot of their own time researching all sorts of topics and providing this site with countless of useful information is just down right ignorant, condescending and insulting
Its pretty sad when people believe everything they read on the internet
Hmmm

Does anyone think that there could be a possibility of someone creating a computer program that could create an image on the ground like a printer. only from a satellite and with evolved laser technology. After all, a laser involves heat, and a signature of crop circles involve nodes bent like from something radiant. jus sayin,.. don't hate

Could These BE Man Made?
I'd Say Yes But In A Few Hours NO!
DAYS Maybe BUT??
In A FEW HOURS??
DEFO NO!
And People STILL Think We Make Them LMFAO
With No Evidence To Say OtherWise Either

reply to a message sent from the uk in 1974,i would provide a link but not sure how,
if you not heard of these and are interested search "2 most important crop circles" on youtube,
is a quite an interesting story that one.nice thread"

For similar reason, and several others,
I am absolutely convinced that the infamous
crop circle below is man-made.
It is the only existing crop circle which
has received unprecedented wide-spread attention.
Another tell-tale sign is the fact that it depicts
a typical Hollywood style dis-info 'grey'.

Who is telling you the world is as we are being told?
Could you perhaps provide a link to the place
where we can find evidence that the world
is indeed as we are being told?

The fact that you choose to post this insinuation just shows
that your case is not as strong as you wish it to be.
No alleged 'crop circle artists' have been caught in the act
Regarding the Orb footage, I'm not aware they would have been
convincingly 'debunked', yet some folks consider it to be so.
Either way, anyone can look up the videos/discussions
and make up their minds as to their relevance.
well this is how pretty much every crop circle discussion goes.
posterA : Look at this picture of a crop circle made by aliens. (pic)
posterB: That one was made by people (link) see them making it?
posterA: OMG not all crop cricles were made by people they are way to complex and have too many anomalies to be made by people.
posterB : Which ones? what anomalies?
posterA: Do your own research deny ignorance.

Now since I know roommate A eats bananas, is it safe to assume that when bananas disappear when roommate A is gone, or when roommate A is otherwise incapable of eating bananas (As compared to the intricacy of some crop circles and limited amount of darkness in which to makes them) that roommate A is the sole consumer of bananas?
It would be fair more logical for me to assume that if roommate A were incapable of consuming bananas, that roommate B must be consuming at least some of the bananas. The only other option is to assume that the bananas simply disappeared.
Now I ask you, are you proposing that some of these Crop Circles, simply appeared of their own accord? The grain stalks just decided tonight would be a great night to lay down in intricate geometric formations?
In some places (especially Great Britain) Crop circles have appeared 3 or more a night. All of them very large and very intricate. A single formation would take a well organised team of at least 20 people, silent, under the cover of darkness, using no light sources, to do just one (of such intricacy) in that amount of time. The scale on which this would need to be on is immense.
if you are not suggesting that they simply appeared, if you are ignoring the possibility of extraterrestrial intelligence, then you are suggesting that some massive world organisation is involved in an intricate, well trained, and costly crop circle making conspiracy.
For no one would put that amount of resources into it for a simple prank.
Furthermore, what would any such group stand to gain from this?
I, for one, think that outside intelligences are a more plausible explanation.
Hmm. . . I don't think you got the analogy quite right. If a single banana was eaten very quickly, or if a whole bushel of bananas was eaten in a single night, would you conclude that aliens must have eaten them? Because that's what you're doing with the crop circles.
No, I'm not. I'm saying that if you could prove that people didn't do it, you would be left with something unexplained. You propose the ET explanation in this case. I ask you, "why is the ET explanation better than anything else anyone can make up?"
Wow, 20 people? That is immense. Certainly far beyond the capacity of humans to organize in those kinds of numbers.
don't you think that sending a spaceship across interstellar distances in order to find a wheat field in england and draw a picture in it is a task which is many orders of magnitude greater in complexity and scale than the human explanation?
Even if we agree(which I do) that intelligent life probably lives elsewhere in the universe
you must have a very low opinion of the capacities of humans and a very high opinion of the ETs
No. I'm suggesting that you are radically overestimating the actually difficulty of making large, complex crop circles with a few people and a little practice. That's what it comes down to. I don't think it's impossible for humans to make the circles that have been made.
Don't you think that the alien's space program would have to be large and complex, not to mention on another planet? Which senario is more complex?
Really? Why?
Well is the cropcircle here complex enough for you, done by humans.
