Cool pics. Thanks for posting them. I really like No#8. (It would make a nice rug design) - Sort of reminds me of a drawing kit/game I had as a child called Spirograph. Had some assorted grooved flat discs and colored pens that you could draw cool designs with.

No offence mate. but ive had enough of these.5 minute googleing threads.

All of these Photos will come up, if you type "cropcircle" in Google images.

Are you in a bad mood today Mr. Bob? - Cheer up. There just some nice pictures to look at.

I have seen many many crop circles and there are lots out there that far outshine these, BUT, i have NEVER EVER seen the marijuana one. i seriously think its a fake. ONLY because it is too good to be true.

Please send me the source to that pic i want to look into it....

I refuse to believe that "some" of those are man made. I just don't see how it would be possible. THe pot leaf, im sure is man made, but the others are just soooo intricate.

Thanks for your post.

The vast majority of crop circles are not made by teams of "Circle-makers". That's a silly notion altogether. Undoubtedly some are, but the sheer scale of the phenomenon makes it impossible. And this documentary footage (which I've seen on TV) doesn't accurately represent how a circle is made for a number of reasons.

First off, their demonstration circle is all squares and straight lines - nothing like a genuine crop circle at all!

From the HowStuffWorks website:

"We decided to create a 200ft formation incorporating a square spiral. Until now square spirals have not appeared out in the fields, probably because unlike a circular spiral - which is relatively easy to accomplish with the right tools - a square spiral is a complex geometric form and difficult to create accurately."

Huh??? They're trying to prove that the crop circles appearing in fields all over the world BY THE HUNDREDS every year are man made, so they hire three guys to ------ make something that doesn't at all compare to what people are finding in the fields? Why?? And then they throw in some bs rejoinder about, "oh ya, cuz it's harder to do square spirals than circle ones." That makes no sense whatsoever and completely misses the point! They haven't tested the phenomenon at all, because they didn't REPRODUCE anything anyone has ever seen. Stupid.

Also, a HUGE part of crop circles are the way the stalks "swirl" and "weave" together in the vortex pattern, especially near the center. We don't even know how to reproduce that effect, and it's still a mystery to most researchers. Some stalks have been described as almost "braided" together like a mat as they were pressed down. We don't know what force could have done this, so of course the makers of the documentary couldn't possibly expect to reproduce it on TV, so what do they do? They make a crop square instead, that has none of these features and wouldn't because they're just laying the stalks down in straight lines. And then they have the audacity to claim that this is actually "harder" than it would be to make circle spirals.

I've never seen a genuine crop circle that looked like that... thing. Ever. Also at 200ft (which is actually the diameter of the "circle" formation around the spiral, not the spiral itself) it's a pretty small and uncomplicated crop circle. And it took them 5 hours?? and they used a COMBINE TRACTOR? There's no way that thing would fool any dedicated researcher.


Anyone who has ever seen a genuinely baffling and intricate crop circle in person would laugh at the notion that guys with boards are doing this. Huge formations, with intensely intricate and often mathematically or scientifically relevant data encoded in them. Hundreds a year. All over the world. Swelling of nodules on the stalks caused by intense heat. Perfectly precise edges to the pattern. No broken stalks. "Braided stalks" weaved together. Soil samples showing dehydration due to intense heat. I could go on and on and on.

I have no idea what's making these formations, and I won't claim to.

But it is most certainly NOT three guys with planks, string, and a combine tractor. I've seen what they can do. They can make a lame square 120 ft "maze" pattern in a wheat field. And it took them five hours.

What a hatchet job.

about 2 of the circles you show'ed are man made, and everybody could point them out.

Because the crop circles that are man made can have a nice form and all but the crop that has been pushed down looks "unclean".

Look at other cropcircles and you will see that the crop that is lying down is very clean.

Ah...smell the conspiratorial smoke! Some ask, are there disinformation agents on ATS?
Well, it's your lucky day; cause look here who just popped up and presented us with a nice slice of conspiracy pie! Tasty...with just a hint of lie after taste.

Some of the most famous crop circles ever discovered could not be perfectly duplicated in one night, in the dark, in 6 hours with an army of board trampers!

I give you a D- on this one. Try again.

A couple of drunken or stoned morons out in the fields, escapade and showing off how they can make lame attempts at crop circles does not prove anything here!

This claim has been made on and off for years, and always shown to be wrong!
Crop circles have anomalies that cannot be made by tromping down crops.

D- again.

One more attempt and you fail the course.

- That's funny. I'm still laughing about the 3 guys and a combine tractor. T

They are so pretty to look at. Who cares who the artist is? They all look great.

...except for um... the square one. That almost made me want to puke.
