Well I was very bored and did a quick search on crop circles.. I dont know why they interest me so much.. must be due to their mysterious possibly real possibly not real..
Any others out there find them interesting.. And a few pics of some of the better ones i have found.. Cheers, Nik

man if they are done by ppl, that alone is pritty amazing. I say that because of how hard it would be to get the crop circle so exact and semetircal in some. Good effort i say.

If would take a few tanks of juice in the ol' lawn mower to get one of them done.

They are pretty cool.. always wondered if some of the patterns could be copied and made slightly smaller... Say, a normal house block lawn size :

there is a doco floating around where 3 or 4 students from Stanford or MIT were graded on replicating one in a night.. They used a crude cannon to spread the iron particles that are associated with the alien aspect of the circles.. They scored a 95% on the geometery of it.. Although it was a tad simpler than those pics, it proved to me just how easy it was to replicate one.. Bearing in mind this was their first attempt and they could no doubt do bigger and better ones now
If you want something of a similar vien that is 'unexplainable' to modern man.. Goggle "Nazca Lines" Now they are an enigma, 2000 years old, absolutley huge in scale, and geometrically perfect

All of those designs are brilliant, do you know how many people working at night time with torches and not being seen would take to do them.? :

i was watching a program on discovery a few months ago that talked about the rock carvings.
an interesting point made about the carvings is that (of course) they are only visible from the air. So 2000 years ago who was in the air to view them? It was also suggested that perhaps these cilvilizations may have been trying to communicate with something in the sky through these carvings. but perhaps there was nothing in the air and they just thought that their gods could see them and not aliens, unless their gods were aliens that is..

Ive seen a few docos where they replicate the crop circles pretty well. I never knew what to think about it all tho.... it's probably one "mystery" im not in a big rush to debunk. The concept is cool isnt it?
C'mon admit it... you all wish there were aliens coming down to scare the hell out of us like that

It's bit like the line from the old Monty Python song...
'There must be intelligent life out there in the Universe, 'coz there's bugger all down here on Earth' (It would seem that Eric Idle knew George Dubbya Bush was around!)

How about nearly all the old tribes, african,incas red indians, the indians themselves telling of gods coming to earth and helping them one way or another and then leaving and going back to the sky.

well if there are aliens out there sending us sign s . i do not know who is stupider . us or them . because one . we still dont believe aliens are doing it . ( crop circles ) and 2 there are easier ways to prove they exist . like hijacking our tv stations and showing us . or landing on the middle of a world soccer game. surely that would be easier than manipulating millions of blades of grass in dessolate areas on earth from the otherside of the universe , to a civilisation who have trouble aiming staight at the toilet bowl.
