But seriously...dare i suggest that crop circles are human made art? I've personally made a few circles myself when i was a bored teenager, i don't
get the alien connection.
Don`t tell anyone that the Japanese are behind it.

oops, maybe my avatar gave it away huh?
But, there are many crop circles that cannot be explained simply. Yes, the ones like this are fun and there are many that are fake, but there are
many technical things about possible real crop circle that makes them stand out.
The most notable features that have been impossible or very technically difficult to copy are listed below:
Weaving. Researchers have long contended that the plants in genuine circles are weaved together in a particular way when they are flattened. Hoaxers
have not been able to duplicate this pattern. "The plants are masterfully overlapping each other, and gently spiking into the standing crop in a
spoke effect creating the circle, this is an effect that is not achieved by simply stomping on the plants with a board and or a garden roller, two
tools commonly used by hoaxers to create fakes."
Elongated nodes. Plant stems bent by people via mechanical means appear damaged and do not have the elongated nodes."
Dried ground. The soil beneath crop circles often appears inexplicably dehydrated, even after heavy rain.
Bent unbendable plants. Some plants just should not be able to be bent, say some researchers. "Crop circle formations often appear in canola (oil
seed rape) fields," says Joseph Mason. "This plant has a consistency like celery. If the stalk is bent more than about 45-degrees, it snaps apart.
Yet, in a 'genuine' crop circle formation, the stalks are often bent flat at 90-degrees. No botanist or other scientist has been able to explain
this, nor has it ever been duplicated by a human being."
EM measurements. Longtime crop circle investigator Colin Andrews says he has recorded electromagnetic (EM) measurements of 40-50 nano Teslas at the
centers of some formations, which he says is 10 times the radiation level of a normal field.
Radioactive isotopes. In 1991, two American nuclear physicists, Michael Chorost and Marshall Dudley, applied their expertise to crop circle research.
"After subjecting a number of seed and soil samples to rigorous lab analysis," according to Freddy Silva's article, "Analysis of Crop-Circle
Affected Crops and Soil," "their main discovery was that the soil in genuine formations contained no less than four, short-lived radioactive
isotopes - vanadium, europium, tellurium and ytterbium. Tests conducted on soil from the Beckhampton July 31 formation yielded alpha emissions 198%
above control samples, beta emissions 48% above, both of which seemed 'strikingly elevated,' since they were two to three times as radioactive as
soil from outside the formation." Analyzed DNA samples from plants in another circle were found to be considerably more degraded than that of
surrounding plants.
There are many more characteristics that make the UNKNOWN ones stand out from the truly man-made ones. you can get a full think from here.
