Crop circles are so dumb. It's obvious people screwing with other people.



I'd sure like someone to explain the logistics of humans making those crop circles as accurately as they do.

Without being seen by anyone..

In the short time they get this done.

Yeah there are shitloads of habitable planets within 27 lightyears, or about 13,5 as it were.

If I travelled millions of miles to get here I don't think some hicks in Missouri would be the first people I'd wanna communicate with.


Crop circles just show how boring it is to live out in the middle of nowhere.

Aliens travel millions of miles to observe and visit us...and choose to communicate by making pretty designs in farmland.

TOTALLY PLAUSIBLE.

stupid.



I love how people always try to rationalize things they can't explain with the most illogical and unreasonable scenario possible.

It was aliens, it was a ghost, it was the god damn loch ness monster oh and the best one of all: It was God

Why do grown ups insist on implementing magic or the most unrealistic creatures to explain something that can be explained by logic or science.

Now the idea or aliens is not that hairbrained, they exist out there somewhere anything else would be weird but really, crop circles?

I never understood why people would think that a high tech alien civilisation capable of bridging the vast gulfs between stars would choose to communicate with us via shapes in grass.



I know, it's strange, but consider this. The same beings know that sending this information to the media who is owned and operated by large corporations and government will most likely not release the message. This manner of communication is used to open communication with the 'citizen' in a gradual way, a way to simply say hey! We got your message, we are out there, we exist.. stay tuned... imo.

I watched a documentary a few years ago where they showed how people make them. Basically you need some rope, and at least 2 pairs of boots nailed down to a 2x4. Two guys essentially walk around while holding the rope (the rope ensures the circles are nearly perfect in shape), and they just smush the grass down (hence why the grass always has that pressed over look). They can also use a computer to design more and more intricate patterns, since no one cares about regular circles anymore.

Or they could just show up above New York City with a loudspeaker and say "hi."

Crop circles are art. Nothing more. Well, ok it may be a bit more. It's art mixed in with a bit of trollin'.
Some of these guys get it down to a very quick, fine art.
Cornholus was referring to the Arecibo message sent by he space program and Sagan. The sent message was made available to the public. Them dudes got trolled. Lol @ crop circles. Some of them are cool, though.

If they were so advanced, they could hijack the communication systems of our planet and give us their message.


But instead they choice to make nice patterns in grass.
