Tractor plowed under the barley pattern on afternoon of
December 31, 2013, under orders of unidentified agent known to Echelon Security.

Our local news finished the "dogs were barking all night" quote.
I can't find it but I will paraphrase...
"People and cars were coming back and forth, the dogs were barking all night".
The suddenly world-famous Chualar crop circle was mowed down Tuesday afternoon.
The security company guarding the site said the landlord claimed it had become a "nuisance."
Crowds at the barley field surged to more than 300 people by mid-afternoon and there was a movement started on Twitter to throw a New Year's Eve party there.
"9 (p.m.) until the aliens throw us out!" a promotional image for the party read.
Property owners Scott and Debbie Anthony say they do not know how the circle got there. So far, no one has taken credit.
Debbie Anthony told The Herald on Monday she knew nothing besides what she got from news reports.
Scott Anthony told CNN he had just returned from vacation Saturday when he got a call from one of his employees on the 2,000-acre farm. He told the news outlet he hired the security company to keep potential onlookers from crossing his farmland where he also grows broccoli, snap peas and lettuce.
Harry Johnson, an 85-year-old retiree who lives about a mile from the field, may have seen evidence of the crop circle makers.
Over the weekend, he said, he and his wife saw five or six people and a few vehicles at the field on successive mornings. On Sunday morning, he said there was a 30-foot ladder leaning against a pole near the field.
"It was just a little unusual," he said. The people at the field weren't dressed in typical field clothing, so Johnson figured they may have been inspecting something.
Then on Monday he saw the crop circle story breaking on television."

It's a hoax perpetrated by a few locals who took advantage of the farmer being on vacation with his family for a few days. Likely Phillip Molnar himself - if you take a quick look at his twitter feed, all he talks about is aliens...

Interesting that the field was plowed under and rather quickly. I can't imagine that the farmer would waste all that barley.
Hire a security firm to guard a field because of it's value..... then plow it under... getting no value from it? Sounds stupid to me.edit on 4-1-2014 by butcherguy because: (no reason given)

They have come out in the UK and told us how they do it...nothing more than a flashlight and a bit of rope and a plank.
Sorry If ET wanted to communicate with us all they would, they would just land or take over TV internet etc.
Sorry but here in the UK we have known that this is all BS and not aliens for many years.
Also why with the cryptic stuff? why in a crop circle? paint a big hello on the moon If you want all of us to know you are there or even land and say hello...sorry again but doing it in crops is the dumbest idea of them all.

A crop circle recently appeared in Chualar, California on Saturday December 28th and the morning it appeared a security company called Echelon Security appeared and began guarding the field. The security company remained in place until the crop circle could be destroyed and plowed over. Luckily an aerial photographer was flying overhead early that morning and snapped a number of photos.
The photo's appear to show an intricate pattern etched into the field of barley which is purported to contain, braille, morse code, planetary positioning relative to the earth, a new camera circuit board and binary numbering.
A crop circle de-bunker estimated it would take a crew of 3 people only working during the light of day doing 9 hour shifts for 9 days. The crop circle appeared over night with neighbors saying that all the dogs were barking all night long in the area.

Why assume a crew of three people when you could easily have 12 or 20 working overnight on something like this?
Lets see. Can we look at this rationally? I think we can.
Crop circle hoaxers trespass on a guy's property.
Crop circle hoaxers hire aerial photographer or fly camera drone over their handiwork and feed it to the gullible UFO crowd.
People flock to see the "mystery in the field".
Property owner is even more annoyed now that there are people and news media tramping through his field at all hours, day and night unannounced and without permission.
Property owner hires a security company to stand watch to prevent others from entering the field until he can have it mowed down to put an end to the silliness.
Seems a much more plausible explanation than "advanced aliens trying to signal us with crop formations".
Any day now someone will be exposed or admit to having been a part of the hoax. And Linda Moulton Howe will look silly again. (Surprise?)edit on 4-1-2014 by JadeStar because: (no reason given)

Strange that people on here think that beings travel light years to visit us and they think the best way to communicate is to bend some grass!!!
They would have better luck if they came and smoked some
