Are you serious? all you would need now is gigantic radiactive plastic circle thing filled with holes. ok....take a breath...im kidding

can you taste the sarcasm?
I mean god damn, anyone with one of these
can make a decent crop circle.
Im sure there will be a ton of people who will believe this to be a sign, but it does not take much to make a stellar map. I mean, i just dont understand how anyone can be a blind believer of crop circles.
this would be believable if we hadnt discovered ancient zodiacs yet.

Run Geiger counters, check radioactivity, see how the grass and what direction it lies on the ground before jumping to conclusions it is not man made.
You are dealing with a certain mentality here.
These people have ALREADY made up their minds that they are fake so,
no amount of geiger counters or any other scientific data is going to matter to them.
This is clearly something that would challenge their world view and everything that they thought they knew of they were to take into consideration the extreme radiation levels as well as the many other unexplained phenomenon at these sites.

I like what one person suggested on another crop circle thread: a "crop circle" on the surface of the moon, visible from Earth.
Now THAT would make me stand up and take notice! Hehehehehehe.

EDIT: I just saw you said "visible from the moon". My bad. However, that would have to be a Mother of a crop circle.

I'm a bit puzzled as to why everyone seems to be presuming, that crop circles are messages for us.
They have been around for hundreds, probably thousands of years.
But why, when people decide to ridicule the existence of non man-made crop circles, do they always trot out the the classic "a couple of guys could do that with a plank and a bit of rope"?
Does that mean that people been making man-made circles that way for hundreds/thousands of years?
And if so.... why?
I'm inclined to agree that SOME crop circles are not likely to be man-made, due to the complexity of the patterns and the swirled, heated, undamaged stalks of the crop in question.
And that SOME are undoubtedly man-made, with the above mentioned rope and plank techniques.
For the non man-made ones, I don't presume that there is necessarily a message there, let alone a message of doom! (If it was always a message of doom, then why haven't we worked out connections between older known crop-circles and past catastrophic events??)
I'm more inclined to think of the "genuine" crop circles as being a form of art, or perhaps a tool of education?
Not for us, but for the creators of the circles themselves.
If they are alien in origin, then they are likely to be very far from home.
Maybe they get bored? Maybe they look for ways of expressing themselves in beautiful, skillful and stimulating ways?
Maybe they teach their young by "drawing" in the crop fields? Incorporating star charts, clever mathematics, geometric pictures, planetary alignments etc? Why not? It sounds like more fun than sitting in front of a computer screen or being plugged into an information download system!
We are so vain on this little rock of ours, that we think EVERYTHING has to be about US.
Isn't there a slim chance that, if there are non man-made crop circles here, they might not even be FOR us??

Crop circles have been around for thousands of years? We've had crop fields for that long?
