I think it's safe to say that all crop circles are man made unless proved otherwise.

Well, lets restructure that sentence a bit.

It should be assumed that until tested, crop circles are manmade. Also, the name should be changed to "crop art" considering thats all it really is.

Now, once they are properly tested by independent groups for varification of the properties, then it should be assumed to be terrestrial crop art.

The croppie was made in 3 stages because it is a conversation.

Any croppie made at once is a statement. Croppies made in stages is a conversation. Go with that and you'll learn alot more about what the crops are and who is behind them.

Trust me, no human does these croppies. And I'll even do you one better, no alien does them either. But soon we will all know who is behind these "signs and wonders."

You guys are getting fooled! Very badly too!

And we are getting fooled because you speculate it was man made? As much as there is no proof to point this crop circle to aliens, where is your proof to say it was man made? Just because it was made in three phases doesn't prove that it was man made. Perhaps there was a reason for the three phases.

By the way, speaking of this, Colin Andrews appears on The Veritas Show tonight after a five-year public retreat.

Again and again close up pictures show astounding innerweaving of the plants.No crushed stalks,just weird bent over fully living cereal plants.Woven or plaited.Anyone who imagines a crew out on boards creating arcs in virgin fields and not crushing any just hasn't looked at the close up pictures.And not bent right on the ground either.The 'flaws in the flue the fly flew through' in the mental construct, that-it-is-Humans is in the details.Glossers-over miss that.And so the message must not be for these.Good we won't have to wait long,eh?

Oh one more thing before I get back to work.If these are not merely man made glyphs,but are in fact an Crop Art by a force of Good,there must be a reason why they are hereabouts.I'd offer conjecture they are something like Druids long interred,acting from the Beyond to protect beloved lands.Anchored there by Grave,Sacred Site or Ley Line co-ordinates.Which would naturally involve Sacred Geometry.I think the orrery and sextant are clear clues to that as is the Terra centric nature if the interpreted image.

One thing that strikes me about crop circles in general that puzzle me.

Why is it that you never see one made in the snow for example? If indeed communications why limit it only to a growing season? I would think that any aliens advanced enough to make crop circle patterns would be advanced enough to do it in other media like snow for example?

Or would the fact that snow would show the footprints and markings of tools too easily prevent them from appearing if they are being made by humans? I'm far more likely to take note of such an arrangement made in the snow WITHOUT showing signs of humans making it.

This leans the thoughts towards me that crop circles are being made by humans and not aliens.

ahahaha complete and utter BS (Once Once)
nothing put forth in this thread by once once so far is EVIDENCE for man made crop circles. EVIDENCE is something that can be undeniably verified, not some conjecture you have made based on circumstances. You've stated that the crop circle makers could not be aliens because the aliens haven't been found, but you believe in the existence of peoples with this as a profession yet where are they? Oh, hiding in secrecy right? Don't want to thwart the potential of the multi-gazillion dollar industry of crop circle hoaxing.. of course..
I'll give you an example of REAL EVIDENCE Once Once...,
Let's say a "hoaxer" while creating his masterpiece for free in a farmer's crops over the course of 9 days in the pitch dark perhaps drops something, a pencil, a flashlight, a cigarette butt, a button, ANYTHING, that would be physical evidence of a human presence. You'd think that during the course of hundreds possibly thousands of such hoaxes involving massive amounts of physical labor to produce that someone would drop something. SO where is all that stuff? How about a foot print? Why don't we ever hear about people finding stuff like that? Because no one ever does..
Also the consistent use of circles is not proof of either origin and is actually rather moot because every geometric shape can be derived from a cube enclosed in a sphere. Christ we live on a big sphere. The atoms that compose our bodies are spheres.
Furthermore you named this thread incorrectly. Even if you could prove that your example was man made, how is that an argument that every crop circle is man made? I can piss into the ocean but that does not mean that the ocean is my piss.
Give me some real evidence.

Anybody notice the white horse there???

It is a bit odd that it took a few days to finish a crop circle, you'd imagine aliens being so equipped they'd get it done within the night.

We shall see..

Uh no, From what I get from the OP you were trying to use one crop circle to disprove all? If so you are grasping at straws my frined.

I believe most are man-made and some being authentic.

Even the TITLE of this thread is funny to me.
Quite why intelligent(!) people are still asking about the formation of Crop Circles is hilarious to me.
The fact that people take the trouble to take pictures and post threads to disprove how these things are created is beyond me.
What am I even doing posting a reply... what a waste of time.
Even pictures/videos of these things being created will simply have them explain that these are copy-cats.

wow now that was some reading i spent the last 30 minutes going right through this thread and visiting links posted etc. One thing this thread started out to be a decent debate for the pros and cons and ended as a slagging match between *believers* and *non believers*

Now first off when it comes to the one (the pic) posted in the first post i would lean more to being possibly man made given the time scale etc etc, BUT all the *evidence* (and i use the term loosely) that you have shown *may* convince that *this* particular one was man made, this does not mean for any second that this is ultimate *proof* that all crop circles are man made, to say so is rather hypocritical of anyone and stretching you beliefs just a little far.

Personally i think that around 70- 80% of cc that i have seen have been man made, do i have *proof* or *did i see it with my own eyes* none that would be shown as ultimate proof no , its just a belief, and i have seen the work that humans CAN do , as previously mentioned they do actually hold competitions for this kind of thing and believe me i have seen some simply wonderful designs and some that you wouldn't think a human person could do.

But i also think that there is a phenomenon out there that may explain a percentage of them (i.e some that have been filmed/pictured or even witnessed showing a glowing ball/orbs around the cirlce), there have been many views going around and one research paper i read (sorry cant recall exactly what it was) stated that it would be possible that some of these could have been created by some sort of storm (i.e the winds and electric charge etc in the fields similer to tornado if that makes sence), there has been evidence to suggest that a few of the cc had evidence of ion particals etc (sorry if this doesn't make sence is hard to think from memory about it).

Do i believe that aliens create them?? tough one without the proof there , the ultimate question would be WHY would they? id say its possible , as in anything is, ultimately though when it comes to CC's i am firmly in the middle until i see 100% proof that either alien/man made/ natural phenomenon creates them but then again finding all this proof for one circle does not prove the same for another.

sorry if this has been long winded lol

it is good to see that people will stand for what they believe in BUT posts become farcical when its aimed at someone resulting in a fight of words match and name calling from all party's involved.

No answer really but a lot of crop circles the plants that aren't wheat are still standing, right around where the wheat is flattened, where it would be very hard to see at night and avoid the other plants.
