Corn circles, barley geometry, wheat wheels...

To those who live in the U.K.!

What's the inside scoop for the "crop-circle" phenomena?
1. light balls: anyone seen 'em?
2. seen a formation? been in one? create one?
3. ever meet the farmers who own the land where a formation appears?
4. ever meet investigators? Linda Moulton Howe?
5. seen non-publicized video footage of one being made?
6. ever imagine the geometry of one, and at a later date it was lain in a field.
7. know circle-makers (earthly or extraterrestrial)? Why do they do it?
8. what do you think/know they mean?

I thought the whole thing was proved to be down to fakers? Be it art students, new Agers, Doug and Dave, etc...

It's all fake. Sorry.

I don't yet believe that it's all fake. A top scientist (Dr. Levingood (excuse spelling)) who has published many articles in world-renown scientific journals has studied crop-circle cases in which plants' biological characteristics have been altered. He has published a few articles relating to the biological change at the cellular level and is about to publish another one. Linda Moulton Howe, an Emmy award winning journalist, has been involved in crop-circle cases for many years, and I doubt she would risk her reputation for a "hot' story. Her web page is http://www.earthfiles.com .

I do agree that some are faked, but how do people with "board-and-rope" change the biological characteristics of a crop? Also consider the illegalness of destroying 100's of square feet of someone's crop-product. For art, a laugh, or to tantalize? Maybe once or twice, but all of them... nah!

As far as "light-balls" are concerned, I've witnessed about six of them pass within 4 feet of me at eye level, floating, and traveling at about 5 miles an hour. No structure except a ball of light, uniform in luminosity, and about a foot in diameter. They all traveled the same path, going from north to south. I watched them float for about a half-a-mile in distance and on 2-3 separate occasions. It happened for 2-3 consecutive early mornings, about 3:00 in the morning, in the autumn of 2000. So I know they exist.

That's interesting WW

There are more things in heaven and earth, WW... I've never seen any of it, sadly, but I believe that crop circles are hoaxes and floating balls of light are EM shenanigans. I've yet to be presented with proof of any of it, so I'm open to convincing.

Light balls are meant to be lightning balls aren't they? Statis electricity floating in the air..

Also, crop circles - I think that I remember some actually being heated internally at a "knuckle", and them being bent that way.. Which is like impossible because they have to be heated to a couple of thousand degree's and it's the hardest part to bend - the other bits of the crop would bend first.

To be honest, I think finding any kind of life out there is pretty improbable, let alone sentient life. I know they say it's a big universe, and there must be someone else out there somewhere, but so far all the evidence seems to indicate otherwise. I mean, life is so catastrophically unlikely to occur on even one planet, what are the odds of it happening on two?

There's that equation that kinda shows it something more in the region of 11 planets of something like that... I don't know.

All i know is that Douglas Adams got it right:
Life is a myth, and any life forms you meet other than yourself are just imaginary delusions!
limited life devided by Infinity = 0

Hmm, but then it's not infinite. It's a finite universe expanding into the infinite nothingness that predates the Big Bang (when nothing suddenly became everything).

... Anyone else think scientists are making it up as they go along?!

New soybean circles in... ahem... Geneseo, Illinois. See http://www.earthfiles.com for more info.
