2.) Why is it not harvest-able afterward?
3.) If these mystical, magical beings were so inclined to try to communicate in the first place, why destroy crops, and why not make it obvious that no human could do it (see questions 1 and 2)?
4.) I don't care about furrows in the slightest, as farmers and workers walk through crops where there aren't any all the time, and don't harm the crops at all.

A few people in this thread say that crop circles appear during the night and in a matter of minutes. I was just wondering how they could know that? Do farmers regularly keep watch over random patches of field during the night? Do the circles appear while they step away to get a drink or go to the bathroom? I'm just curious on how people are coming up with this timeframe.

I think that since the crop circles are such in big thing in lower England that if people were driving by or flying over a crop circle in the making then it would be big news. At this time of year there must be planes flying all over the country side. It would difficult news to cover up.
And farmers obviously don't watch over their fields during the night but watering and other maintenance during the day would be a good reason to be around their fields. The large and complex formations, if created by people, couldn't be created in the time it takes to "get a drink".
There was that crop circle in close to Stonehenge that cropped up, excuse the pun, during the day. A pilot claims that he flew over the area in the morning and came back later that day and it was there. None of the tourists at Stonehenge reported seeing anyone in the field.

As for the Stonehenge circles, how much later did the pilot fly back over the area? I don't know how long it takes a group to make crop circles, but depending on the design it could probably be done relatively quickly. And if the field was close enough to Stonehenge that tourists could report not seeing anyone there, shouldn't somebody have seen what did make the circles?
The formation was first spotted from an aircraft at 6:15 PM. The pilot crossed over
the field with a passenger (a medical doctor taking pictures) at 5:30 PM and both
reported that there was no formation in the field at that time. This is corroborated by
the security guards at Stonehenge who claimed the formation was not in the field
earlier in the day. The pilot landed his plane at the nearest airfield, the passenger
disembarked, and the pilot refueled for another flight. The pilot took off again and
crossed the field at 6:15 when he saw the Julia Set formation in the field. At about
the same time (6:30) his previous passenger drove past Stonehenge to see cars
pulled off the side of the busy road (Correction Note 01). These cars will prove
important to today’s new release.
The airspace around Stonehenge is secure airspace due to the proximity of the top
secret air base of Boscombe Down. This means that all flights are monitored and
reports are made. In my investigations of the claimed events I made inquiries with
security at Stonehenge, the flight tower at Boscombe down, and checked police logs
at Hampshire & Wiltshire Police control rooms. There was no evidence of anything
occurring in the field before the sighting at 6:15 PM. This is the first report of a
formation created in broad daylight in a busy area with no witnesses. Or were there?
Other anomalies of this sight showed up during field investigations. I spent several
days with a team of researchers examining all aspects of the formation; taking soil
and plant samples, dowsing, measuring magnetic flux patterns, and interviewing
people. We discovered that the design was energetically connected to Stonehenge
by magnetic flux lines (below). When I interviewed the Wiltshire Police I was told that
the police emergency lines received several 999 calls just before 6.00 PM reporting
a large number of vehicles pulled off the road causing a hazard.
What has recently been revealed is that the people in those cars may well have
seen the formation forming. According to researcher Lucy Pringle, a woman has
come forward to say that a taxi driver and passenger were with the parked vehicles
and the occupants could not believe what they witnessed. They stood for 20
minutes witnessing this large design form under a swirling cloud of mist. The full
story can be read on Lucy Pringles website at (below).

just like it is blatantly obvious you know nothing about farming.
why comment the same general comment you've commented before? why not just abstain from saying anything at all if you've expressed your skepticism before?? it is kind of like atheists who go to every god thread to say god isn't real. what's the point? who are you trying to convince?
us or yourself?
thank you for your opinion.
=================
my opinion is
that crop circle is amazing, OP!
thanks.
i like those kinds of pictures whether on paper or on a field~

Of course farm workers would be out in the fields during the day, what I was asking was how do people know that alien made crop circles appear so fast if nobody's around to see them? The "getting a drink" part referred to non-human made circles.

Also for those that may have missed my other thread. Here are some excellent videos of "walking through" the crop circles so you can see the "lay" of the crops.
Any frankly, anyone can see they are NOT "plank marks". Scroll down to the Stonehenge videos to start with.

Get over it, there are people who don't believe what you believe, telling them to leave is ridiculous and petty, this is an open forum.

there is a real intelligent design to these and "who /what/ how- ever they are formed is less important to "why".
And then that even is probably not important either when you just accept that they just are...
and they just are beautiful and amazing, full of awe and they quickly show our own flaws from our pettiness in explanations.
