UM-Bot Posted August 2 #1 Share Posted August 2 Crop circles might look impressive, but they can damage crops and be a major nuisance for farmers. https://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/news/379412/crop-circle-in-badbury-england-sparks-police-investigation 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bendy Demon Posted August 2 #2 Share Posted August 2 The only problem I see here -aside from defacing/vandalizing property- is giving these things the slightest mote of publicity. Think about it, some person or group goes out and makes these things and sure enough they see their 'handiwork' on the news. Bingo! They got what they wanted and it never fails. Do something stupid and get publicity for it. Basically being rewarded in a way. Should have kept it quiet and let the police handle it without all the hoopla. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hankenhunter Posted August 2 #3 Share Posted August 2 That is definitely a man made crop circle. Crudely made. I don't blame the farmer for being p*ssed. What a waste of good hay. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papageorge1 Posted August 2 #4 Share Posted August 2 Quote As things stand, the person(s) responsible have yet to be found. I believe the better ones are not man-made, so good luck with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made by vortexes. Weather. Everything else originated in a pub or university or college. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PapaG agrees, although some of the pubs and/universities are on Zeta Riduculus. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything else originated in a pub or university or college. I am going to beg to differ from your claim. The first most convincing argument against your more simple understanding is the biological anomalies. Here's a paper called Anatomical anomalies in crop formation plants W. C. Levengood Abstract: Crop formations consist of geometrically organized regions ranging from 2 to 80 m diameter, in which the plants (primarily grain crops) are flattened in a horizontal position. Plants from crop formations display anatomical alterations which cannot be accounted for by assuming the formations are hoaxes. Near the soil surface the curved stems often form complex swirls with ‘vortex’ type patterns. In the present paper, evidence is presented which indicates that structural and cellular alterations take place in plants exposed within the confines of the ‘circle’ type formations, differences which were determined to be statistically significant when compared with control plants taken outside the formations. These transformations were manifested at the macroscopic-level as abnormal nodal swelling, gross malformations during embryogenesis. and charred epidermal tissue. Significant changes in seed germination and development were found, and at the microscopic level differences were observed in cell wall pit structures. Affected plants also have characteristics suggesting the involvement of transient high temperatures. A little about Dr. Levengood Since 1954, biophysicist W.C. Levengood has authored or co-authored a significant number of scientific and technical papers (over 50) on a wide range of subjects including Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Biophysics, Botany, and other subjects that have appeared in some of the most prestigious peer-reviewed, scientific journals including Science and Nature that have also received numerous citations in additional peer-reviewed, published studies. W.C. Levengood also holds several patents for inventions and applications related to these fields of study. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll rely on Levengood's chops myself. He rambles on to different subjects and I cut him off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
