This is one subject in the "unknown" category that has always intrigued me.

That was an excellent video.

No matter who or WHAT is making these, nor how they are made, they are incredible, massive, amazingly beautiful, intricate works of art.

If nothing else you have to at least appreciate that.

Some things may not be meant for us to know how or why, but just to see.

Crop circles= 2 drunk guys + boards + string

Doug Bowler and David Chorley have been making crop circles for 13 years.

I don't regard myself as a hoaxer - I'm not interested in rug-pulling anybody. Yet the assumption is that if I make a crop circle, it must be because I want to undermine the beliefs of people who think they are not man-made.

Maybe people think that because it's exactly what happens?
maybe?

Seriously people...you think a couple people go out and make these circles?

Some circles are made by made, no doubt but some are so intricate that it would be a long process and someone would see something. Remember these are people's farmland. There are quite a few that have been unexplained, way too intricate and way too perfect to be done with "ropes and boards."

And if they all are man made, why are there no practice circles and none that have been half done. Without a doubt they would make a mistake once in a while. And they would have to practice, especially ones that are 1000+ feet.

To think these are all made by man is giving man to much credit.

People talk about Skyscrapers as being a marvel...well how long does it take to build one? how many professionally trained people are on the payroll?

As we have been proven time and time again I think people who say "for sure" this is made by man will be proved wrong. I mean look at all the people who thought the Earth was flat, or thought that Earth was center of the universe, or that atom's did not exist....etc...What happens when someone thinks outside the box? They call them crazy and try to make others think they are crazy as well.

And to call these people who claim they make these circles Bright is just feeding their little game. Sure you can make some but let's see you guys make the big intricate ones. I think people should call their bluff.

And please do not say it's improbable that aliens did this or that there is a fourth dimension, because read some physics books and you'll see that wormholes and such exist, just because we can't use them does not mean other couldn't.

Don't consider yourself a scientist if you can't keep and open mind because those who close their mind learn nothing...

Sorry. Nope ,unless i saw the original evidence.

And even then id be wary.

Let me ask you this, hypothetically, Just say for arguments sake, someone or something is seriously trying to send us a message, meant for everyone, designed to warn us, and prevent massive disasters, just on the slightest chance according to some no chance at all, but what if there is a serious message there, don't you think the whole thing needs to be investigated?

We do consider the possibility that other worlds may be sending messages which may or may not be intended for us. There are several programs to look for and detect these messages, the biggest is radio SETI but there's also an optical SETI.

If I was put in charge of the research dollars for projects dealing with extraterrestrial communications, I would continue to fund those SETI projects (which rely largely on private donations), but I would allocate zero for crop circle research.

Just do what Matthew Williams said in the video I posted and enjoy them for their natural artistry and mystery. You can experience them, that's what the makers want you to do, and we don't need to spend any research money to do that.

A few weeks ago I watched a few hour documentry on crop circles, some of the evidence they presented stating some of these may not be man made were amazing, for example the bushles of wheat layd out, no footprints, and after annalyzing the wheat they find its been electrically charged in a way that specific areas of the wheat had been blown apart... and that same pattern is repeated though all the wheat layd out in the circles...

Other circles were actually puzzles pointing to the destination of the next proceeding crop circles, very interesting, a big message layd out circle at a time

OK well if a conviction in a court of law won't convince you that someone did something, there's no point in anyone trying to convince you of anything. I admit that's not a 100% guarantee he did it but it's a pretty high standard of evidence compared to a lot of unsupported claims made on ATS. You've seen videos of people making crop circles before right? I'm not sure where the lack of credibility on your part is coming from.

Ima go make a crop circle now,

this will be the message

"Drop $50000 in cash on the lawn at (address)"
