Crop Circles
In remote areas huge circular formations appear in fields and grasslands - are these the work of pranksters or a space ship that lands? What do you feel causes this?

I'm almost embarrassed to say that I *love* crop circles -- they are so amazing to me.
I need to look up some of the links I have saved ...somewhere on this computer

P.S. I know some of them are done by humans, and there are even organizations that claim responsiblity for them -- call them "art" or whatever. But there are "real" crop circles that just are not done by people.

I agree Farseer. In fact the whole crop circle thing has always amazed me. I really do believe that some are 'true' crop circles that were not created by man. I had some links before my puter crashed.....I need to find those sites again....there was alot of interesting things to read on some of the sites.

Here's one:
https://home.clara.net/lovely/homepg.html"The Crop Circular"
"Crop circles are not a modern phenomenon.
They are mentioned in academic texts of the late 17th Century, and almost 200 cases - some with eyewitness accounts - have been reported prior to 1970. Since then, some eighty eyewitnesses as far flung as British Columbia and Australia have reported crop circles forming in under twenty seconds; cases are often accompanied by sightings of incandescent or brightly-coloured balls of light orshafts of light....
"In genuine formations the stems are not broken but bent (left), normally about an inch off the ground and near the plant's first node. In special cases, the plants are bent six inches from the top of the head. Such features defeat the hoax argument, since a plank or garden roller is required to flatten the crop to the ground, resulting in damage to the plant stems.
"The plants appear to be subjected to a short and intense burst of heat which softens the stems to drop just above the ground at 90º, where they reharden into their new and very permanent position without damage. Plant biologists are baffled by this feature, and it is the singlemost method of identifying the real phenomenon. Research and laboratory tests suggest that infrasound (sound below 20 Hz) is capable of producing such an effect: High-pressure infrasound is capable of boiling water inside the stems in one nanosecond, expanding the water, and leaving tiny blowholes in the plants' nodes. The pressure applied also causes the water to steam, and it is reported by farmers that when they stumble upon a new crop circle they see steam rising from within the design. This process creates surface charring at the base of the stems. "

Lucy Pringle is quite eloquent and has written at least one book. She gathers data and researches the physical effects of crop circles on humans. This site has many articles she has written, a bit flowery in her writing but understandable, about different events since 1993. Also a huge gallery of photographs from many, many circles.

Not very detailed, but good pictures and some research information.

I found this site that was very good at placing the what and not putting forth a real explanation, but rather allowing you to think for yourself.

| Many explanations have been given for these crop circles ranging from the slightly plausible to the outright ridiculous! Localised tornadoes, wind gusts and plasma vortices may have accounted for some of the simple circles but these explanations do not hold up when some of the extremely complex designs are viewed. Other, supposedly serious, persons & newspapers have put forward the most incredible suggestions including an "army of hedgehogs going round and round" and two old men, Doug & Dave who have supposedly made some 300 circles a year in more than 8 countries since 1975 using a piece of wood and some string! The above explanations ignore the latest evidence that shows that the crops seem to have been subjected to some sort of microwave radiation that has boiled the water in the plant cells, causing these to expand and sometimes burst at the "growth nodes" causing the plants to bend, thus forming the circle or agro-glyph. Other anomalies found at crop circles are distorted magnetic fields that cause compasses to spin, strange sounds (like numerous crickets screeching) that have been recorded, and sightings of UFOs and strange lights in the area where crop circles are later found. |

Until looking into it, I hadn't realized that "crop circles" had truly been around a long time. Here is an interesting story from the 1600's that points to the Devil being the cause of crop circles.
| QUOTE |
| The most well known positive depiction of a crop circle is found in a woodcut made in 1678 with the title 'Strange News out of Hartford-shire". It depicts a devil-like creature cutting out a pattern in a crop with a scythe. The woodcut has text, which told of a greedy farmer, who, having refused to pay a mower a reasonable rate for reaping his oats, swore that he would rather have the Devil do the work. The very following morning, the farmer awoke to find his crop had been harvested, but done so in such an amazing manner, with rounded circles of incredible exactness that no human could have done the same within the period and darkness of one night. The farmer was so afraid that he could not enter the field to collect his harvest. |
While obviously the Devil isn't going around making crop circles, it shows that crop circles have been around longer than the camera. It has even been suggested that some of these crop circles have been depicted in cave drawings from prehistoric cave men. Even further, the crops circles range in variance from extremely simple to complex algorithmic ththeoremsnd even musical note structures.
While I truly can't tell you what they are, or even have an opinion as to what they are, I think we take the easy way out. Saying its aliens or UFO's is an easy way out that puts the responsibility on someone or something we can't seem to touch. I think be doing that we limit the popossibilitiesf what it really could be if we wait until we can learn more about them, as technology and didiscoveryncrease over the years.

Are they trying to tell us something? In 2004, this crop circle was formed in a sort of bee design:

Now, the mysterious disappearance of bee colonies, also known as "colony collapse syndrome":
| QUOTE |
| Colony collapse Mysterious deaths of honeybees in N.C. worrying officials Raleigh | Between 30 percent and 40 percent of eastern North Carolina's honeybees have been lost to a mysterious trend that's been stinging bee populations around the country, state officials say. The losses have raised alarm among farmers who depend on insects to pollinate their crops. Bees pollinate about a third of the food people eat. Jeff Lee, who rents out his honeybees to pollinate crops, said he started noticing an unusual trend a few months ago. When he would open a bee box, sometimes it would be empty. Lee estimated that he has lost about 30 percent of his 1,000 bee colonies in the past six months. While the trend remains largely a mystery, experts have called the outbreak "colony collapse syndrome." "Every time you turn around, it seems like another plague is affecting bees," said Charles Heatherly, president of the N.C. State Beekeepers Association Since the mid-1980s, honeybees have also been plagued by two exotic parasitic mites. Entomologists at North Carolina State University estimate that those mites have cut the number of managed hives in North Carolina from 180,000 to about 100,000. But Adolphus Leonard, a bee inspector with the N.C. Department of Agriculture, said bees are now dying without explanation. He estimated that some 30 percent to 40 percent of eastern North Carolina bees have been lost to colony collapse syndrome. Samuel Cox, one of the state's largest commercial beekeepers, has unsuccessfully sought technical help to keep his hives. But the Edenton resident said he's lost about half of his 2,000 colonies since last summer. "The beekeeping industry is in trouble because of some unknown out there killing our hives," Cox said. "We've treated them and done everything we know to do. We're rather frustrated." |

Comments: The Julia Set is a good example of the validity of the crop circles. Unlike other crop circles that seem to be made during the night, this one appeared in the day when photographers were taking aerial shots of Stone Henge.

Alien or not those things are like totally awesome to create. I mean if its man how can they like get it so perfect without being able to look from above and make sure its going good while they make them.
