What are Crop Circles?
Crop circles are patterns that appear in fields. The pattern is created when certain areas of the crops are tamped down, but others are left intact. The edge is so clean that it looks like it was created with a machine. Even though the stalks are bent, they are not damaged. Most of the time, the crop continues to grow as normal. Sometimes, the patterns are simple circles. In other instances, they are elaborate designs consisting of several interconnecting, geometric shapes. Farmers have reported finding strange circles in their fields for centuries. The earliest mention of a crop circle dates back to the 1500s. A 17th century English woodcut shows a devilish creature making a crop circle. People who lived in the area called the creature the “mowing devil.” In an 1880 issue of the journal Nature, amateur scientist John Rand Capron reported on a formation near Guildford, Surrey, in the south of England. He described his finding as “a field of standing wheat considerably knocked about, no

Crop Circles are geometric patterns that appear mysteriously in crop fields. The crop is not cut, but is usually laid flat and most often swirled into an attractive floor pattern. Most patterns appear in cereal crops such as wheat and barley, but circles have been known to occur (in lesser numbers) in oilseed rape, maize, linseed, grass and even borage – to name a few. In the US many circles appear in soya, as it grown prevalently in that part of the world.
Circles and patterns that `appear’ in crops overnight, as if by magic. Happy now? Me either. **************************************************** I read articles when I come across them. Whoever or whatever made them is pretty good. They pictures are magnificent. I have no idea how they got there but I can tell you this: the debunkers who claim they’re man-made are full of Congressional air. Yes, a few circles were made by pranksters who stood right up to take credit. But the debunkers never answer for the fact that the circles have been showing up for years before the pranksters were even born. Nyah nyah. **************************************************** As one might expect, many believe the circles are made by off-world intelligence. Others believe they’re created by extra-dimensional entities. A very recent crop circle was `decoded’ to mean a coronal mass ejection from the sun will occur on July 7th. I’ll be honest: I’m just not smart enough to divine the date of a CME from knock
Depending on one’s view of paranormal phenomena, the formation of crop circles is either an elaborate hoax or visible evidence of metaphysical energy at work. About the only thing both sides can agree on is that crop circles do exist. There is sufficient photographic and eyewitness testimony to support the claims, but no one can agree on the purpose of crop circles or the means used to create them. Some people have confessed to creating crop circles as hoaxes, but a number of elaborate formations still remain unclaimed by human pranksters.
