When it comes to Nancy Talbott and BLT and their interpretation of "science" something strange is going on for sure.
Here's another example of their work
Broeke's Mudman hoax defended by BLT
What do you mean? They're discrediting those photos themselves.
Also, what about all the rest of the documented stuff on that site - the mudman thing disproves it? Really? Okay.....not.edit on 29-7-2012 by thebtheb because: (no reason given)
But as reasonable and straightforwad as our analyst's rationale is regarding this photo, it provides only a possible scenario--but one that, in this case, does not account for the actual facts. In July 2004 Robbert was totally unaware of the existence of New Guinea "Mudmen" or the Reader's Digest (or any other similar) photograph--so, obviously, he could not have come to his uncle's house prepared with a "cut out" of such a figure...
One Dutch web-site presents a convincing demonstration that the "Mudman" photo released to the public (#2.1, above) is a "100%" replica of the "Mudman" figure on the right side of the Reader's Digest illustration. Although the argument presented is at first glance compelling, it is not 100% accurate--nor does it prove Robbert "faked" this--or any other--particular photo. This will become evident as we look at the BLT photo analyst's findings in his examination of Robbert's "mudman" photos.
David and Paul said, first, that they "love the energies" creating the crop circles and that they "do not support the attacks by Colin on Robbert's and Nancy's integrity" and, further, that they "stand by both Robbert and Nancy's work" and know Robbert and I must continue our efforts to help keep "the spiritual truth of the circles alive."
Here's some interesting research that two nuclear physicists conducted:
In the winter of 1991 we circulated a paper in manuscript claiming to have discovered 13 unusual radioactive isotopes in soil samples from an English crop circle......We are satisfied with our logic, but, unfortunately, the basic data turned out to be less solid than we believed. For that reason we pulled the paper from publication, and we are withdrawing some of the claims made in it.

Crop circles have been around for roughly 20 years, getting progressively more complex for the most part.
Let's examine 2 possibilities:
1. Aliens make them, and figured plain circles were too boring.
2. Humans make them, and progress in technology and artistic inspiration account for the more complex shapes.
In the early 90s, boards and twine were all that was necessary for creating basic geometric shapes. However, in recent years, the use of steam cleaners and specialized boards allows for easier manipulation of the crops, and for more complex geometric designs.
The rate of increasing complexity is more akin to the career of a human artist(s), rather than an advanced civilization.

Talbott isn't discrediting the ridiculous photos, she is supporting them even after their own photo analyst said they were fake - as would anyone who sees them. Talbott states,

So Talbott refuses to accept what her eyes and commonsense tell her and accepts Broeke's word that he had never seen Readers Digest! Good science!!
Here's another example. The soldier photograph is about half way down the page. Talbott shows the book that Broeke obviously took the image from but bemoans,
"To be absolutely clear here, the ex-military man who owns this book had just moved into the neighborhood and Robbert had not yet met him. Generally, Robbert has no particular interest in soldiers or war and he was unaware of the existence of this book. And (in the event that this photograph may have existed on the internet) it must again be stated--Robbert did not have a computer in 2004, nor did he have access to one."
It is clear that BLT (the B is for Burke, T is for Talbott, the L is for Levengood - do further research "Dr" Levengood) are non-scientific paranormalists and are only pushing their own agenda. The photos they support are clearly fake, and so I put no trust in their crop formation analysis and assume their results are fake unless independent proper scientific test confirm their claims. This, I have no doubt, will never happen.
Found this which gives information on BLT's "Dr" Levengood (contains some strong language)

Yes. And after peer review they withdrew their article. Good scientists.

To be honest i do believe that a lot are man made, But, Some of them are so impressive and accurate and HUGE, I find it hard to believe that all of them are man made.
Does anybody here have a theory on how UFO's or any other kind of phenomenon could possibly make them? Ruling out the microwave theory as i find that quite ridiculous...
If these tests on the soil have been proven to show extreme heat where is the proof of this?
And with the change to the wheat itself i am quite sure that cannot be caused by a bit of string, Measuring tape, Plan and a bit of wooden board...
Also why isn't there any documentary's or video's of one of the spectacularly big one's shown being done in the dark with a time limit attached to the video or has there been any of these made?

We don't know for sure if we're going to have a pole reversal. I used to believe it, but new studies show it could be other reasons than a pole shift

Be advised that the circle makers cooperate with the farmers.
It's very rare to see a circle without an "honor box", which means the farmer is ok with you going into his field, if you leave money in the box. They get permission from the farmer because he knows he'll get paid from the honor box.
Crop circles have become big business in England.

Big business???
You make it sound like a billion dollar industry.

When do the Grays get paid?

I would like to see you make one of the big ones in only 4 hours in the middle

Easier said than done.
The MIT student made one in 4 hours but they had to cheat on the iron filings thrown
all over the place.
I gave them a B-.

Not to mention but I shall that the terrain was level and the design not very complex.
