The questions I have, in view of possible man-made circles, are as follows:
* Why are there never any errors? These are supposedly made by teams of people in the dark in very short time periods. Surely someone would make a mistake at some point.
* If there are teams of people making crop circles, where do they practice? They'd have to choreograph their movements to the finest degree (see first question), so they would have to practice somewhere. Where are the practice circles?

Are there any crop circles that come before the farmer takes his tractor through the field and creates pathways for hoaxers to walk on?
Seems like every one I look at has these pathways or similar access, never just a huge one in the middle of a field proving no one could access it without a helicopter.

You are so right man!!!!!
that is the first thing I'm looking at when I see another circle. But I've never ever have seen one where there aren't tractor tracks in the field! It's bollocks from day one!!
but..... you've got to admit that the guys making this are true and genuine artists!

I was going to ask the same hypothetical question too. Where o'where do these creative, artists and error-free designers take classes to learn this choreographic art?
And yet no one (not even the janitor who cleans up afterwards) has come forward.
Now THAT is even more amazing than these pesky crop circles!

Could it be that you've never seen one where there aren't trackor tracks in the field because all crop fields have tractor tracks????

Hmmm, you got me thinking there because (I know stupid) never thought about that...
I'm Busted

Did you see these images I posted yesterday showing a circle without any tram lines running through it?

I find it to be very interesting and hard to explain.

Sure....some are no doubt (likely# 5 and #6) but you really think these elaborate, elegant and enormous circles are done by people with planks within hours? Why hasn't ANYONE (besides drunken Doug and Dave) come forward, just for the notoriety of it all, and show us how it's done then?
Can you answer that? (Didn't think so)

Are you aware pilots (with absolutely no interest in this realm) have flown over some of these crops (just hundreds of feet off the ground) only to make a return flight back to notice these gigantic formations in a very short period of time?

Here's a interesting crop formation addressing your question:

Note the circle in the centre, it doesn't cross any tram lines. Here's a pair of mirrored images (I couldn't get the whole picture to render in this post). It's a closeup of the centre circle before it was trampled by people:

Look how wide that wall of crop is. One wouldv'e needed special equipment or a pole vaulting skill to get in there and out again without leaving a mess.

there have been 'crop circles' on other fields that were not wheat, barley, rape, etc, and these never last long, and are not as easy to see, or the medium doesn't last long enough - tall grass for instance, in a field of 'set aside' isn't mown, ploughed, sprayed, watered, etc by farm machinery so there don't exist the tram lines in these fields. However, obviously, the end result isn't as good. The fields chosen, have the right kind of crop that will display an accurate image, and keep that image for the desired length of time.
I believe that some of these are hoaxed, but I certainly don't believe that they all are. What is making them, I don't know, but they are interesting.
If they're all hoaxed, then there is a conspiracy here somewhere, covering up who is doing them, and why, and that's worthy of this site.
If at least one of them isn't hoaxed, then they're made by an unknown process, and just what this site is about.

Just.....wow!
To look for a 'human-path' in order to explain these amazing crop circles just blows my mind.
Then why don't you speak up against those who use the lack of human path as a means to prove them? The justification is the same...
Okay okay okay. Let's say there are paths (eye roll) can you please now tell me how these path-people are accomplishing these amazing feats in record time? In some cases, within minutes of eye-witnesses?
I have seen NO PROOF to lead me to believe that any of these were done in minutes. I would like to see what you call proof. Why haven't these eye witnesses seen them being formed?
Then, when you answer me that, can you please then tell me....why?
Why have this planet-wide prank?
Art is its own reason. As long as there are people that are willing to credit the work of a human to that of an ET, they will continue to happen...I personally think they look great and I'd love to make a larger one myself one day. it's hard to believe that anyone thinks these can't be done by humans...
I'll await your answer but allow me tp please go on to question #3.
Why hasn't anyone ever come forward to claim these pranks?
There are so many people who have come forward claiming to create crop circles, that I shouldn't even be dignifying this question with a response. Reasons why people haven't come forward on all of them? Trespassing, destruction of property, and other criminal charges come to mind. same reason why graffiti artists don't come forward. That was so easy to come up with, I'm not sure why you asked to begin with. It didn't take much brain power to come up with an answer...
Okay, thank you in advance for your opinion!

Good thing I found this site, 'cause you guys are really shutting me up here! And you should considering the pictures of the sand circles and the ice circles...
No really, you got me thinking again guys. I thought this was a closed issue, but those little things can't be ignored.
