Haven't read most (by far) of the replies, but the posts I've seen reflect absolute ignorance of what constututes a GENUINE crop anomaly. News flash: Clearly not ALL of them are made by jugheads with boards tied to their feet. Forgive me if someone has already pointed out the basic facts, so, a brief rundown of Crop Formations 101 is in order (or again):
Here's the most extremely shortened version: node expulsions on each individual stalk (that are apparently heat-generated), crop lying flat and swirled but NOT DAMAGED, presence of iron microspheres, field researchers becoming disoriented when gathering or TRYING to gather data/readings, higher microwave radiation readings. Get the idea? Can you say ANOMALIES? Those are physical REALITIES. Deal with it!!
I tend to believe the formations are made by human tricksters using UNREVEALED TECHNOLOGY rather than by ET visitors, but I could be wrong, and either way the (real) phenomenon is unexplained, undefined, and the most blatantly obviously so of any such phenomena on Earth.

Lets start with the image with the message, your evidence that this was man made is where?
You know the poeple who made it?

I don't think the more complex circles could be done with even a couple dozen individuals due to their complexity. At ground level you can not correct for discrepancies and mistakes in orientation that would be needed, only from an elevated vantage point ( aircraft) could one guide the progress. Then there's inclement weather to contend with as well. And I'm sure there are individuals on the watch for just some discovery of the circle makers, with the notoriety they as discoverers of the fraud would receive for their vigilance. There's also communication to not be overlook. The makers couldn't very well shout instructions to their accomplice's. They would then need radios, and radio frequencies can be and are monitored by both government and radio buffs.

Aw man, I was hoping for actual contact with some kind of radio signal or something. This crop circle is 11 years old and doesn't really prove anything.

The tech to receive our messages, then come here only to draw pictures in our hay fields? The whole concept is dumb, in my opinion. Crop circles are neat though.

okay say it isn't man made then, what message are the ET's trying to send? it looks like a grey with some sort of calender.

I have not once said i believe they was made by aliens, but to believe they was made by a drunk or some locals overnight (stated on many times in various threads) for something which is complex and has a hidden message within.
While i sit on the fence neither arguement has the absolute proof who made them, while i aggree many are man made, so ask the question, who made this overnight?.

like in good old england .. Charlatans stand to make a quick buck out of it
And boy they fooled so many sheeple, i have seen it done by locals and they are
good at making the crop circles..
