Apparently some team of guys made it their job to go sneaking around at night with boards and make extremely intricate geometric patterns in fields of crops around the world without damaging the grains or leaving any evidence and leaving magnetic resonance. Oh and no one has ever caught these guys and none of them have taken credit for their insane work, much of which is impossible with planks of wood and string and no aerial view or lights..
At least, that's the official story, even though it's bullshit.
Truth can sometimes be stranger than fiction.








It is Sacred Geometry, which resonates with the soul. Subconscious communication via symbolism.
A picture says a thousand words..

Just keep on makin' em Crop Circle People
and I'll keep on watchin'.

Only problem is planks of wood break grains, and don't leave trace amounts of radiation, and usually look like shit and are smaller.. like this


Many crop circles when investigated, the grains are bent completely to the side.. but not broken at all.
And found to be growing better than normal. Can't do that with a plank of wood = broken grains.
Also many formations are found to have magnetic fields or trace amounts of radiation which are not present in known man-made formations.

Also, let's not forget that many of the HUGE and intricate circles, seemingly appear out of thin air.
Like the farmer goes in his house at 10:12.., field is normal, goes inside and comes back out 15 minutes later... and there is a complex circle the size of a football field there.. lots of cases like that.. with super complex circles appearing in minutes or hours.

This is one of the largest ones recorded.. 800 feet across.. 409 circles.. perfect geometry.. whoever made it, did so in under 3 hours.

The Doug and Dave scam

    On 9 September 1991, the British tabloid Today ran a front-page story headlined: ‘The men who conned the world’. The story claimed that all the crop circles in England were the work of two pensioners, Doug Bower and David Chorley, aged 67 and 62 respectively. Their tools included a four-foot plank of wood and a ball of string, along with a piece of wire dangling from a baseball cap to serve as a sighting device, enabling them to construct perfectly straight lines by focusing on a distant object – at dead of night!

    To flatten the crop in areas that did not overlap tramlines (the tracks made by tractors when spraying crops), they said they had stood inside a tramline and then jumped or pole-vaulted into the standing crop; this would involve pole-vaulting a distance of up to 35 feet – an Olympian achievement! They said that the idea of making crop circles had come to them after a boring evening at the pub in 1978, and their only motive was to ‘have a laugh’. Not only had they never been caught in the act, but their wives had never even noticed their nocturnal absence.



Fig. 2.1 Doug and Dave demonstrated their skills with this 1991 crop formation – after a pint of beer too many by the looks of things.


    They showed that they could create crude circular designs in broad daylight – but lacking the geometrical precision, complexity and beautiful crop lays found in the finest formations. At that time, the ‘circles’ had already evolved into complex pictograms, but Doug and Dave could not convincingly explain how they had created these. They could not even duplicate on paper a Celtic cross design they claimed to have made. Confronted with evidence that they had nothing to do with certain formations, they began to backtrack. Even if their grossly exaggerated claim to have made 250 crop circles in England since 1978 were true, that would still leave 1750 formations in England and other countries unaccounted for, as well as numerous pre-1978 formations.

    This did not stop the public at large swallowing the idea that all crop circles were made by humans. Many people find this far more palatable than the possibility that unsolved mysteries are taking place in the fields. So Doug and Dave certainly ‘conned the world’ – though not in the way most people think! Despite their ‘retirement’, the crop circles were back as usual in 1992 – but without the intense media interest.
