Did you watch the video? Have you read any more into it other than what an armchair skeptic tells you?

I dont really pretend to know what or who does it but it helps to open your mind up to the possibilities; it also, in some ways, provides a type of escape from our "reality" i suppose :)

Tis. Religion is more destructive though.

In my honest and humble opinion, crop circles are the after-effect of a group-masturbation session...

Enlightening. Could you give a descriptive outline with start and end time of how this occurs?

Simple; you sit down, either in front of a tv, or get a Hustler copy, or the old imagination, start fondling your bargepole while slowly undressing the person you're imaginining about, and then, all of a sudden, your dad walks in...

I actually just watched it all the way through... there are certainly some amazing designs out there, some of which defy rational explanation... the answer to the radio message and the alien face are pretty incredible...

Back in the early 1990s two chaps from Southamton, Doug Bower and Dave Chorley used to make crop cirles using planks of wood, rope, wires and hats...and made 40foot circles in 15mins.

There's even a bloody website for crop circle makers called circlemakers.org.

Even crop experts (cereologists) have been caught out stating some circles are unfakable only to find out the circlemakers filmed themselves making the "unfakable" circles days before...

The fact is there's no empirical evidence exists to prove or even suggest crop circles are made by UFOs or supernatural beings and events, but plenty exists to prove a rather human explaination.
