As a general discussion topic, does anyone have any ideas on what the crop-circle phenomena is.
I've seen some really good ones, well the photos, and I've seen some really crappy ones, like there exists a clear line between the good and the bad, the well constructed, and the ones it seems juveniles do in their spare time.
Can someone please shed some light on this phenomena.
I mean, it looks so well constructed, and some circles have no tracks leading to and from pathways, indicating some influence making the reeds bend the way the do is from "above", like a footprint.
Any ideas?
What is the most credible theory around today?

There is no shape that a long rope and 2 sticks cant shape out of reeds...
It just takes some practice and good get away plan and ure set 
But if you want to think that some aliens think that Earth is their personal
art gallery for their crappy pictures then you can think away xP

If you know what an irrigator is, it's obvious. I've yet to see a crop circle field without irrigator tracks. Go on, Google images.
...no to my surprise the circlemakers just tramp through crops leaving footprints where they stray off tracks. How unprofessional oh well. You can get how-to info if interested in this fringe hobby. |

Maybe those who work for the local aero-club are doing it, though. Because, when you think about it, you can only see the images best from above, like from a helicopter or something. And the more crop-circles you have, the more you have to hire a helicopter to view one, right? I mean, they don't just make these circles for nothing, right? They're not much good from the road-side level to anyone, right?

This has already been solved. Numerous groups have attested to created the crop circles. I watched a show not that long ago where one of these groups made a crop circle on the show. They used a stick with which to flatten the crops in a circle.

Ideal situation is where the pattern's on a slope remarkable from major road. So says circlemaking 101.
I thought the methods were more devious, like the trick of slicing a banana without peeling it. Tromping around with boards? Disappointing!
What similar stunts do we engage in? North Vancouver Island, there are folks who fasten neckties high on telephone poles. There are also a few "shoe trees" by the highway. ...and that reminds me recently we've had mysterious human feet washing ashore (always in shoes), and now sick hoaxters along the coast are stuffing turkey drumsticks into shoes, for police investigation.
Let's invent a new phenomenon on par with cropcircles.  |

Everyones bored of crop circles now. Lets go onto squares shall we. At least there won't be 'infinite numbers of lines' to observe  .

Another great Brit invention.
The two chaps who devised it confessed some ten years later, but by then the phenomenon had snowballed - loads of copycat crop circles, and 'nobody' willing to believe it was a hoax because 'nobody' would rather believe in nonsense aliens.
Imagine we had the capacity to move through vast distances in space and came across an inhabited planet. It seems so obvious, doesn't it, that what we would spend our time doing is making complicated rocket landing patterns at times, whilst at others we would simply hover at night leaving strange lights for all to wonder at whilst telporting up the native life forms in order to anally probe them...  |

I saw a news report on it and one of the guys who was responsible, he used to use a peice of stick with rope on eithier side like a swing, and he used this to generate the patterns. But i see where your coming from becuase some of te patterns are extremly complex and are generated perfectly
