I’m fascinated by the idiots that take the time and energy to make them.

You didn't watch the vid, did you? Some of these crop circles depict advanced geometry, physics, etc... And the "legit" ones are created by the stalk nodes exploding due to high heat. Not boards and ropes. Fascinating.

I thought they were interesting when we didn't know how they were made. But now that we know how the fraudsters make them (and that it is fraudsters), it's not nearly as interesting.
That's like the guy that used to wander around Florida beaches in shoes with giant fake cement penguin feet strapped to his shoes.

Nope, not buying it.

I may have first hand knowledge of how boards and ropes can make something like this.
Rural folks get bored sometimes. |

You know what else can cause a stalk to bend rather than break??
Rain. It’s fascinating only from an artistic perspective. Some of the designs are quite unique. Many are simply variations of very ancient symbology. As a kid, I made many,, the ancients called it: Spirograph!

there are indeed man made ones but there is an overwhelming amount of them that cannot be explained by a couple guys making them with boards and rope
I too thought it was debunked long ago but after reading and listening to a lot of stuff about them I'm not really sure what to think, definitely not all man made though that's for sure. |

so assuming no hoax, big assumption, I put the first four coordinates in my maps; Caracol Mayan Ruins Belize, Sedona, AZ, Giaz Pyramid Plateau, Nazca Lines.

Crop Circles?
Crop Art is more like it...and I do not care what the origin is, the pics above are awesome. Also, as I have mentioned a few times, I have seen the vessel, but not the Crop Picasso driving it.

Most people know that they are faked, and know that the guys who started this whole thing later admitted to faking them. They even showed TV news teams how they did it. Crop circles were debunked long, long ago. |

I believe a bunch of drunks with sticks and rope formed a football field sized 2D rendering of the flower of life by meticulously super heating the plant nodes to bend them in the desired direction. Yup. ![]()

And they're made in the dark and pop up over night. Too perfect to be human. Alien graffiti by little green taggers
