Researchers believe a crop circle pattern that appeared in the small town of Bracciano, Italy, a few weeks ago contained a complex diagram of solar eclipses — perhaps demonstrating that its makers had an advanced knowledge of Earthly astronomy.
Ironically, Drew and other crop circle experts may have been partly right about one thing. Though the Bracciano crop circle was not made during the annular eclipse (nor does the pattern accurately depict Earth's eclipses), it was done at the same time as a relevant astronomical phenomenon. It was created during a new moon, which offered ideal cover of darkness for hoaxers to create nighttime mischief.
Possibly, but it seems more likely that the "eclipse astronomy" lies in Drew's imagination. He begins with the assumption that the pattern has a connection to the eclipse, and claims that if you diagram the pattern of eclipses over thousands of years (from one specific, arbitrary point of view), that pattern generally resembles the spiral pattern found in the Italian crop circle. He then assumes that this eclipse information must have been intentionally created by intelligences far beyond ordinary hoaxers
Has anyone ever thought of the possibility that its alien technology given to humans to communicate back to the aliens?

It could be that these anomolies are caused by over farming and not leaving the field to fallow for a couple of years for the nutrients in the soil to recover
After all these fields are used as a food crop and any unusable crop would be turned into cattle feed
So for me this explains away any anomolies
And it's just some nerds with rope and a plank of wood and too much time on their hands

Normally wheat has one seed, but the affected wheat showed multiple seeds which were genetically altered (a "supposed impossibility" as stated by Dr. W. C. Levengood a microbiologist and crop circle researcher). He states that the "nodes are blown open which can only be by a very hot, rapid rate as if micro waved." The fragrance of malt has also been noticed as if the plants were cooked from the inside. The stalks of wheat are bent 1" above the soil, with no signs of damage with the wheat continuing to grow after having been bent. The soil chemistry also changes, containing radioactive isotopes that are not produced in nature. The ground shows evidence of being exposed to radiation. The soil inside the circle is dry and parched, even if the surrounding area is drenched with water. Freddy Silva, a noted crop circle researcher and author of the book Secrets in the Fields, states that there is a "strange outcome to the genuine circles, with the next year yielding better crops and fewer insects."

Yeah, it seems farfetched to me as well.
Aliens with technology to travel to our planet, they leave crop circles as calling cards?
Star for you.

it's been established that at least some of the circles have been microwaved. so that means along with sticks and ropes the hoaxers walked around with microwave ovens forming these designs? really? the physical evidence in the real circles clearly points to other-than human design. Do you really think those two old men used microwave ovens?
