Crop circle - (explanations)

I put some research on to see how many different theories i can find along the way. So let's see what Wikipedia can offer us and what can we find if we dig a little bit deeper.
First of all lets explain what are we talking about here.
A crop circles are sizable patterns created by the flattening of a crop, also called as crop formations. Opinions are different so in process we got 3 groups of people and they are : paranormal eccentrics, skeptics and '' i don't care'' groups. I think we all know in which group we belong and that's our personal opinion, which nobody can't change in most cases.


-Wikipedia explanation and expert's theories

-Formations are usually created overnight, although some are reported to have appeared during the day. Various theories have been put forth ranging from natural phenomena and man-made hoaxes to extraterrestrials, the paranormal, and even animals. While it is not known how all crop circles are formed, the most likely theory as put forth by a variety of scientists and skeptics is that all, or virtually all, of them were made by people.
-The scientific consensus on crop circles is that most or all are constructed by human beings as a prank. The most widely known method for a person or group to construct a crop formation is to tie one end of a rope to an anchor point and the other end to a board which is used to crush the plants. Skeptics of the paranormal point out that all characteristics of crop circles are fully compatible with them being made by hoaxers.Bower and Chorley confessed in 1991 to making the first crop circles in South England. When some people refused to believe them, they deliberately added straight lines and squares to show that they couldn't have natural causes. In a copycat effect, increasingly complex circles started appearing in many countries around the world, including fractal figures. Physicists have suggested that the most complex formations might be made with the help of GPS and lasers. In 2009, a circle formation was made over the course of three consecutive nights and was apparently left unfinished, with some half-made circles.





 -Well if they did it with tractor and other machinery i wonder how did they made circles inside without destroying any crops along the way in!? But that only explains how did they make outer circles after all ( this is skeptic's theory).

When i was reading Wikipedia about this phenomena i came across very funny statement which i laughed out loud, and it state : Some cereologists have suggested that crop circles are the result of extraordinary meteorological phenomena ranging from freak tornadoes to ball lightning, but there is no evidence of any crop circle being created by any of these causes.
-In 1980, Terence Meaden, a meteorologist and physicist, proposed that the circles were caused by whirlwinds whose course was affected by southern England hills. As circles became more complex, Terence had to create increasingly complex theories, blaming electromagneto-hydrodynamic "plasma vortexes". The meteorological theory became popular, and it was even endorsed in 1991 by physicist Stephen Hawking who said that, "Corn circles are either hoaxes or formed by vortex movement of air". The weather theory suffered a serious blow in 1991, but Hawking's point about hoaxes was supported when Bower and Chorley stated that they had been responsible for making all those circles. By the end of 1991 Meaden conceded that those circles that had complex designs were made by hoaxers.








-Paranormal explanation

-Since becoming the focus of widespread media attention in the 1980s, crop circles have become the subject of speculation by various paranormal, ufological, and anomalistic investigators ranging from proposals that they were created by bizarre meteorological phenomena to messages from extraterrestrial beings. Many crop circles have been found near ancient sites such as Stonehenge, a prehistoric monument located in the English county of Wiltshire. They have also been found near mounds of earth and stones raised over a grave or graves, also known as tumuli barrows, or barrows and chalk horses, or trenches dug and filled with rubble made from brighter material than the natural bedrock, often chalk. There has also been speculation that crop circles have a relation to ley lines. Many New Age groups incorporate crop circles into their belief systems.




-Here are some writings from people who witnessed to the creation of a crop circles.

-What has recently been revealed is that the people in those cars may well have
seen the formation forming. According to researcher Lucy Pringle, a woman has
come forward to say that a taxi driver and passenger were with the parked vehicles
and the occupants could not believe what they witnessed. They stood for 20
minutes witnessing this large design form under a swirling cloud of mist. The full
story can be read on Lucy Pringles website at (below).

According to Lucy’s report, she gave a talk in April, 2009 at Alton College in
Hampshire. Shortly afterwards a friend telephoned her to say that “a friend of hers
had been in a taxi and had mentioned to the taxi driver that she had just been to a
fascinating talk on Crop Circles. M, the taxi driver, said: I saw one appear opposite
Stonehenge.”  Lucy soon realized the formation being discussed was the Julia Set
of 1996.

Lucy writes, “She mentioned that when people see maybe two cars or more pulled in
and looking down into the field, other cars stop and gradually the traffic builds up
and more and more cars draw in to have a look.” What the group saw is described:
“There was an apparition, an isolated mist over it (the formation) and as the circle
was getting bigger the mist was rising above the circle. As the mist rose it got bigger
and the corn circle got bigger. There was a mist was about 2-3 feet off the ground
and it was sort of spinning around and on the ground a circular shape was
appearing which seemed to get bigger and bigger as simultaneously the mist gets
bigger and bigger and swirled faster. It was gradual and you are standing there and
you are thinking what is going on and everyone is discussing it and more and more
traffic is building up and everything and you just think that all the time you don't
really realize what is happening and then you think then that's it and the thing is
getting bigger and you are thinking of the beginning and end. But you don't realize
what you are looking at. I didn’t understand what was happening.”

Lucy continues in her report to say that there was a clear space between the
ground and the mist as the crop circle formed and there was no wind or dust.

Lucy’s witness reports that the event took about 20 minutes to form although they
can’t be sure because they lost track of time. When they left the mist was still there
and they can’t be sure the formation wasn’t still expanding. It may have taken more
than 20 minutes to create.




 -For the end let me give you my last review of this phenomena. If crops are made by Aliens or other supernatural way we asking self wrong question. How they made it? Better question will be why are they making those crops at first place!? (signalization, coordinates.......)  That's question we need to answer first.
