hmm. good point there mate :D

are you sure its not you making them. your not talking sense!! :rolleyes:

Rednecks with too much booze in the bloodstream and too much time on their hands and too easy access to heavy machinery.
Besides, cropcircles are so ridiculously easy to make in photoshop/3dsmax

There was a special on TV a few years ago that showed exactly how they're made as well as they guys who take the machinery and do them. No aliens, nothing unusual, just a crew of men who have too much time on their hands and want to spook a bunch of hillbillies.

Yep, it was fun the first time when no one had a clue what the hell was going on, now its just stupid and i bet some farmers are getting sick of their crops getting crushed.

I think there is only ONE real crop circle, that's it...
all the rest are dudes...
Do some research of the crop circle in Grasdorf, Germany.
And no, I don't think aliens made it either...
I'm with Matthyahuw, although I think there are a few legit examples...
The "accepted" solution using the wooden plank method only satisfies 95% of the cases....The remaining 5% have avoided any possible explaination....
Aliens? Hippies? Elvis? Who knows....

They totally intrigue me. :D
Yea I know most of them are made by humans now and the big mystery seems to be gone but I'd say when they were first noticed in England 50-60 years ago it was cool at sh!t. I can't say aliens made them but some of the facts from some crop circles are still a mystery and nobody 'really' knows who and what was responsible when they first came out even though people have come forward to take credit.
So many were made back then that those 2 guys that were on TV couldn't of made it to like 3 differnt spots in one night and pull it off. From I read it's really time consuming. Anyway Signs was pretty cool if anyone hasn't seen it. Thought it would of been a bit more scarier. :eek:
i can do that in photoshop...there is even a tutorial on how to do it on techtv.com :)
i think intel did that one.
They are all man made.
Sometimes people put some BS spin on it, like "unexplained strange magnetic fields were measured in the center of the crop circle", or "stange lights were seen in the field the night before"...
Why is it that if you take a pile of BS and add a few additional spinkles of BS on the top of it, everyone is ready to eat it?

How do we now that the CIA is not undertaking a huge misinformation campaign by creating fake crop circles to cover up any real one out there. Perhaps crop circles are the only way aliens can transmit interstellar messages.
You might disagree with me but you sure can’t prove I'm wrong.

Cos the CIA has no juris-dick-shon outside of the USA, which is where most of the crop circles are.

Hmmm... they have invented a magic ray-beam to remotely flatten our crops from a million miles away (why they would develop such a technology, I dunno...), but they haven't invented radio yet?

I can't disprove the existence of invisible flying unicorns either, but that doesn't mean they exist.
Come on guys... you believe in the crystal skulls too?

So you are saying the CIA have never operated outside the US. That’s not the impression I have from watching all those Hollywood films (my main source of historical information).

Who said anything about ray-beams? Perhaps they realise that they cant transmit photons faster than c and but have discovered super fast gravitons that they can form into gravity waves that form the crop circles. I don’ know.....

Invisible flying unicorns? Where? Where? I want one. Perhaps I can use one of the aliens gravity nets to capture one. After the CIA see feet to release the messages of course.
ehh, an 8 digit calculator, a 100ft long rope, a 6 foot tall metal pole, and a 2"x4"x2' can make a crop circle.
So you are saying the CIA have never operated outside the US. That’s not the impression I have from watching all those Hollywood films (my main source of historical information).
Ofcourse they do, for special ops but you think the CIA has thousands of operatives in every country in the world whos sole purpose is to sneak out at night and make crop circles? And what would the law enforcement or intelligence service of the country in question make of that? The CIA doesn't have the run of the world ya know. "Oh hello my CIA guy, yes ofcourse you can come into our country and cause thousands of dollars worth of damage to our crops. Especially since its a top secret mission and all, and we trust you americans to have a good reason"

Super fast graviton technology.... for the purpose of making circles in hay. Ahhhh yes... an excellent invention Gorak, what will you do with it? perhaps we can use it to destroy the Quagars of Splatticon 5? No, Zortok, I will use it to make patterns on the surface that little blue planet we found the other week.

My point is that you can't disprove the existence of invisible flying unicorns (since they are invisible). But that obviously doesn't make it true. Your original argument of "you can't prove me wrong" doesn't work for the same reason.

Actually the CIA doesn't operate in the US at all. There is a department called the NSA (National Security Agency) that is essentially the US version of the CIA, except much much more covert. Heck the government didn't even acknowledge it existed until several years ago.
The main purpose of the NSA is to listen to the conversations of foreign nationals staying here, but they are free to do whatever CIA-ish (made-up word I know) business they want to within our borders.
The FBI is just a joke, it's like the bastard child of America's intelligence services, everybody not in the FBI hates it.

i don't think crops mysteriously bend themselves over to ground level.
"Come on guys... you believe in the crystal skulls too?"
I bought one for $500 ;)
Oh crap not again,
what is it with uni/college students and the speculations which they like to make about the CIA/NSA/FBI ?
We had the head of the CIA come to our college for the graduation ceremony and half the freakin folks who I know where yappin on about the same kinda stuff you folks are goin on about....:confused:
As for crop circles I reckon they are all FAKES. Simple why on earth would an alien speices leave us clues especially in crops when they dont even show themselves to us?

It's like the aliens are thinking: I'll just make a pretty pattern in this field for no reason.
Yes I do think they're all fake.

Everyone has there OWN opinions which is cool but if i'm not an expert in the field then I don't know what to believe -- even if is a little far fetched. You just never know...
