Crop Circles: The Ongoing Enigma

Posted: Apr 03, 2011 |

I'll start this off with a controversial statement. I thing the crop circle (or corn circle as it is sometimes Referred to) phenomena is currently the greatest terrestrial scientific puzzle going – full stop.

I admit from square one that I have not the foggiest idea what they actually are, or represent, but at least I think I know what they're not.

I'm sure the phrase 'crop circles' need little introduction. I can not imagine too many people being ignorant of the general phenomena – there's lots of books, media coverage, web-sites, TV specials, feature films, even calendars Which have, and continue to cover the subject.

In general, by way of a probably unnecessary introduction, crop circles are geometric patterns, pictograms that are often GeneRally circular but not always, that appear mysteriously in crop fields, usually overnight, perpetrated by person or persons, or by a non-person or non-persons, unknown. While these 'circles' have appeared in many countries they Tend to be associated by the public mainly with England. They have been especially common over the past three or four decades, though some earlier reports are on record.

There's no denying the picturesqueness of them, and often, in fact in more recent times, their geometric complexity.

There's no doubt that crop circles exist – that's undisputed. Crop circles are On ever on-going phenomenon, the pictograms growing in complexity year by year. Here's there an evolutionary pattern that needs explaining. And at least have the decency crop circles to sit quietly and not vanish without a trace like UFOs, the yeti and the lone mysterious interstellar 'wow' signal so suggestive, yet so illusive of proving the existence of, extraterrestrial intelligence!

So what the hell are crop circles? Are they a new form of graffiti as human beings? Are they messages from extraterrestrials? Are they a cry for help from our own Mother Earth or Mother Nature? Are they a mysterious now and again, but ultimately natural, even if chaotic feature of Mother Nature – say weather or biological phenomena? Are they in fact none of the above?

A few data points to start with if you please.

Firstly, it's now clearly in ongoing phenomenon, not a fad that one or two year college kids revel in doing (like swallowing goldfish or cramming VW) grabs their attention before something new for fun and games and mischief. Now I've likened crop circle 'art' to graffiti 'art', and of course graffiti is an ongoing fad, but there's a vast world of difference between some spray paint on an alleyway brick wall that harms no one and crop circles Which robs farmers of income – at least IMHO.

Secondly, let's look at geographic distribution. Crop circles have appeared in many countries – that alone rules out just your lone rogue hoaxes or two. However, they do Tend to be identified more with countries that have English as a native language, and in Particular, by lot A relatively massive, the United Kingdom, Great Britain, England. This may be an artificial artefact as most of the relevant literature is in English. I mean there may be lots of crop circle activity in Asia, but Asian languages ​​are not Represented in the media in proportion to population. Still, I'd wager that there is a real concentration in select geographical areas (ie – England), and that too needs explaining.

Thirdly, crop circles Tend to be concentrated in areas of reasonable population density, though that could also be an artificial artefact. If they happened in Antarctica or the Sahara Desert there would be Relatively few witnesses and evidence and reports. As well, any evidence would be erased or eroded Tend to fairly quickly. Still, I'll take it as a given that crop circles Thurs Tend to be concentrated in more humanly populated areas.

And now for the non-explanations!

The Natural Phenomena Connection: Crop circles do not look natural. They most certainly do look like artificial creations, the creations of intelligence. However, before Pursuing that chain of thought, one, in all fairness, needs to consider a non-intelligent (natural) explanation.

Mother Nature is not widely known for the production of complex structured geometric patterns in non-living materials – snowflakes and crystals aside. Nature tends to be more chaotic. Patterns – Symmetry is another valid term – are usually one way, and a fairly foolproof way at that, something of distinguishing natural from something artificial – Which is why the 'canals of Mars "or the" Face on Mars' attracted so much speculation. Now clouds, for example, can take on all sorts of weird shapes or a pattern if you like. Every now and again a rare you'll see a pattern or a shape in a cloud Which reminds of something else you – that's just random probability. 99.9% of the time, when you look at a cloud, all you can identify or think of is 'cloud'. But that other 0.1% of the time – well, it's just a freak of nature.

Freaks of nature, natural phenomena very rare, certainly can and have happened, no more Thanem says with all things meteorological, like clouds – weather phenomena. There's documented cases of paper straws being driven into hardwood trees through the force of tornado winds. Ball lightning is another point in case. So, a freak of nature, weather-related, in all probability, may account for some of the Relatively simple flattened crop circles.

In the beginning of the modern crop circle phenomena, the pictograms were fairly simple circular patterns in various crops. It was thought that perhaps swirling storm winds, Whirlwind, mild tornadoes, or other sorts of wind vortices might be responsible, though few newly created circles were created under those sorts of weather conditions – and why only at night? Say a whirlwind as the cause for effect. But, I defy anyone to examine the more complex geometrical (and often fractal) patterns and tell me how Mother Nature, meteorologically or otherwise, did it! Since crop circles exhibit patterns or symmetry, then that argues against them being natural or nature-made phenomena. Lifeforms certainly exhibit patterns or symmetry, but whatever crop circles are, they themselves are not alive, so again, we rule out a natural explanation.

Today, no thinking person in their right mind could look at these highly complex geometric patterns (not all are circles anymore) and think that Mother Nature could have produced them. If crop circles are natural, it nearly has to be weather related and no kind of weather can produce complex geometric patterns in crops. So, crop circles really have to be the product of intelligence, there's no way Mother Nature can be held accountable for these complex geometric formations pictogram – now that's undisputable. Scratch Mother Nature.

The Human Connection: That human beings are the culprits behind the crop (or corn) circle phenomena is taken almost as given by most people. Humans are the most logical and most accepted explanation, especially by hardnosed skeptics of all things weird, strange and the downright paranormal. But, there are several problems with such a blanket explanation that crop circles are hoaxes perpetrated by people with terrestrial too much time on their hands.

Question one: assuming crop circles are hoaxes, what is it about the British mind-set that prompts them to commit these 'works of art'? That's never been explained. Nearly all crop circles are British crop circles. Although there are isolated cases from other countries, crop circle formations are 99 & 44/100% reside in merry old England – no arguments there. Maybe crop circle hoaxes might be reluctant to do their thing in the U.S. where farmers shoot first and ask questions later, but why not France, Canada, Australia and a host of other nations with major agricultural (crop) industries?

Question two, again assuming hoaxes, can the sum total of crop circle formations be explained by artistic human intelligence, keeping in mind the restraints of sheer numbers of circles, the limited period of darkness # in which to operate (high summer in England); the fact that it is dark, The Possibility of being caught (you do not want to use flood lights or flashlights), not to mention the additional time required for the ever increasing complexity of these ever crop circle formations?

That all crop circles are hoaxes human is ridiculous. Have you ever read of someone being caught in the act, apprehended, and prosecuted for trespassing and destroying personal property (these crops are valuable commodities to their owners)? [Actually, a few have been caught, but so few relative to the thousands of circles created for all intents and purposes that, if all are hoaxes, then the vast, vast Majority are getting away with their vandalism.]

It's clear from some media coverage and internet sites that lots of people, even organizations, claim responsibility for crop circles, even to the point of giving demonstrations (in daylight of course) how its done. Case solved? Hardly!

These circles have been appearing on a regular basis for decades now. So what's the point of continuing to produce them, at Considerable time and trouble, having 'proved' your ability, or proven your point, that you can do it. All the more so as especially seeing as how you are trespassing in the process as well as vandalising another person's property. People or organizations admitting to creating crop circles are publicly admitting that they have performed criminal activity.

From what I've seen on YouTube or documentary interviews, farmers are really pissed off over this issue. This costs them money in terms of lost crop yields, not to mention having to put up with hoards of sightseers, the press and investigators. Affected farmers would dearly like for nothing better than to toss these jokers behind bars and throw away the key! But you have got to catch them first – and few have – so that's one of the flies in this ointment.

So, why have not all these guilty claimants been arrested, charged, tried, fined, forced to pay restitution or do community service, even jail time for damages, And thus put at end to their activities? Maybe because, nudge, nudge, wink, wink, these claimants are no more guilty or responsible than the little old lady from Pasadena or the man in the moon.

Sorry to burst this bubble but if you openly admit to criminal activity, you get slapped down by the hard hand of the law, and then some. Question for all those who seriously believe that crop circles are a terrestrial version of graffiti – any claimant has ever been seriously dealt with by authorities relevant legal? Damned if I can find evidence of it!

It does not wash, it does not make any sense, even if on the surface it's the most likely logical explanation, so by Occam's (Ockham's) Razor I should accept this explanation, but I do not. One reason is that there is a rather long history of people confessing to crimes they did not and could not possibly have committed. Why? I'm no psychologist, but I rather expect to liven up dull little lives they very – it's their moment in the sun the; their face on TV, their name in the newspaper.

And while some people have admitted to being the perpetrators of Hoaxing crop circles (publicity seekers?) Perhaps it's the people who keep quiet who are the real culprits! But a somewhat similar argument applies. Again, why have not these new age graffiti (so-called) artists been caught in the act? To the best of my knowledge very few individuals have ever been caught in the act, far less arrested, tried, fined and / or imprisoned. By 'few' I mean the numbers caught are very few relative to the multi-hundreds to thousands of dog crop circle reported incidents. Their activities are in graffiti Relatively densely populated areas – we're not talking Antarctica, the Sahara Desert, or national wilderness parks here folks; local people, especially crop farmers would be on the alert, maybe even holding stakeout in areas of high crop circle activity. Yet we have thousands of these circles appearing on an ever on-going basis. Few are ever caught in the act. Thus, I conclude that while of course there are some hoaxes, probably the simpler and smaller circle of these patterns, that's it – a relative few.

I mean think of the obstacles hoaxes face. They (I'm assuming a team here) have to create a geometrically highly complex pattern, usually extending over a fairly wide area (often hundreds of dog square meters), in the darkness, without ever being caught. Pull the other one!

Another puzzling feature, if all crop circles are hoaxes made by humans, is the absence of mistakes. The lines are straight; the perfect angles, the circular circles and in general to the eye, the imagery and overall geometry looks spot on. And in many cases it is quite complex imagery and geometry, all made during the short summer nights British, presumably by individuals or small groups, while in a rush to avoid detection, using flashlights (if that). Where are the human mistakes? Once crops are crumpled by mistake, you can not un-crumple them again – there's no crop circle or whiteout correction fluid. Any mistake, say a right angle that was actually 88 degrees or 92 degrees would immediately be seized upon by the skeptics as proof – ah ha, it must be humans because there's human error. Another thing I have not read about, but should have, is where are the human footprints or tire marks or any other evidence of human activity at crop circle sites dropped like a bit of litter or something accidentally left behind in the rush. I mean these are the things one looks for – clues and evidence at a crime scene. Where is the crime scene evidence that implicate humans?

Now to my way of thinking, two things seem crystal clear here. There's intelligence behind the crop circle phenomena, equally clear (to me anyway) it's not by any stretch of the imagination a 100% human intelligence – the hoaxes – criminal activity – Referred to above.

The Non-Terrestrial Intelligence but Human Connection: If the intelligence behind crop circles is not even close to being 100% human intelligence in the main, then it must be a non-human intelligence, though not of necessity extraterrestrial intelligence. So, what about a non-human intelligence? While we share this planet with other intelligent Relatively species – dolphins, parrots, apes, the octopus – I find it unlikely in the extreme that crop circles can be blamed, or credited, to any of them.

Since I know of no other native intelligences on Planet Earth, I'm somewhat reluctantly forced to go offline for an extraterrestrial intelligence, without any evidence other than process of elimination. However, there's some logic behind that assumption, otherwise I would not entertain it.

The Alien or Extraterrestrial Connection: For better or worse, crop circles have been associated with to a greater or lesser UFOs extent Depending on whom you consult. However, one immediate objection would be that a solid UFO landing in a field, could not produce these sorts of complex patterns – that would have to be one hell of a weird UFO 'car' body underbelly!

Assuming now not human, but extraterrestrial intelligence (the UFO connection – if any), what is the motive? Sceptics have pointed out, rightly so, that it is ludicrous in the extreme to suggest that extraterrestrials come here, from there (wherever there is) just to do geometrical agricultural crops using graffiti as their canvas! It's probably equally ludicrous to suggest that UFOs are alien tourist buses, the extraterrestrials tourist on a holiday tour, and England has been set aside as the area for extraterrestrial artists on tour to practice their art!

Still, perhaps these pictograms are to attempt at communication – extraterrestrial intelligence to terrestrial intelligence.

SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) scientists have always maintained we could decipher any deliberately sent alien message, optical and / or radio, because we shared in common at least to understanding of fundamental mathematics and nature (the laws, principles and relationships of physics) . Now crop circles, if you like pictograms, are certainly in mathematical structure – geometry if nothing else. But what can they mean?

A traditional (radio / optical) SETI mathematical equivalent of pictograms could be sending a series or radio (or optical) pulses representing prime numbers. Another starting point could be a series of pulses – a 'dit, dot, dot, dit, dash, dash, dash, dit, dit', or [1 + 1 = 2].

So, perhaps these pictograms are introductory to ways and means of Establishing a communicative relationship, starting off with some geometry. That might be a more effective way of doing things. If you were an alien, how would you try to Establish first contact and communication? I mean for starters, you could just send radio and / or optical signals (traditional SETI strategy noted above) and hope we were looking at the exact right time and in the right direction and exact (for radio) at the exact right frequency. The odds for a successful contact are not that crash hot, IMHO.

You could leave at artefact on the Moon (as in the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey), but the Moon has a lot of real estate and there's no guarantee any artefact (s) would be found.

You could land on the White House lawn with a 'take me to your leader' (sort of as in The Day the Earth Stood Still film) and get shot for your troubles!

You could buzz all and sundry in your UFO, and abduct us, but that's gotten nowhere, at least to the best of my knowledge. In any event, such UFO events are too transitory. You need not only a presence close to terra firma, but a longer lasting (relatively speaking) record of your existence. Crop circles fill the bill nicely. No danger of being overlooked; no danger to yourself. Of course the logician in me says that this is one hell of a weird way of trying to Establish communication, but I'm no expert on alien alien psychology or logic – and neither is anyone else. It's not a ways and means predicted by SETI scientists, but it is a ways and means.

However, all up, using crop circles as a means to Establish communications just does not seem to be entirely logical that, vis-à-vis the White House lawn on landing. I assume aliens would not go to all the effort of coming here just to draw us pretty pictures in crop fields – unless of course maybe these are alien college students doing their mischievous pranks.

Assuming aliens, but not alien pranksters or trick or treaters out cruising our solar neighborhood, then what – or now what?

Speaking of those damn UFO's, do crop circles and UFOs share any traits that might firm up the presence of an alien intelligence (s)? Yes indeed.

Both became well known phenomena within a common Relatively narrow time frame window relative to our overall history – that window being the Latter half of the 20th Century. While we do have isolated examples of both before that era, it was roughly 1950 + that saw the two bloom phenomena, UFOs first, then the crop circles – Which makes sense.

Both are ever ongoing phenomena.

Both have evolved in complexity over time. The geometric pattern of crop circles have grown ever more intricate, in fact, something relatively new in the on-going evolution of complexity of crop 'circles' is the development of actual images pressed into the crop instead of purely geometrical symbols – images like faces , etc. But what's really interesting is that some of these images really stand out only under low light angles like occur in the early morning or late afternoon. That's more than just getting a tad sophisticated. Complexity evolution regarding UFOs started off with them mainly as lights in the sky, hence close encounters (of the first, second and third child); finally abductions.

At least in part – and both exhibit intelligence behind them. Crop circles nearly always exhibit intelligence behind their manufacture, to a lesser extent UFOs, except of course for the unsolved cases, Which are the smoking guns we're really interested in.

Both are global in scope, yet both have geographic areas where there appear to be flaps or concentrations – of longer duration for crop circles, short for UFOs. These flaps or concentrations occur in time frames as well as in locations.

There might be one other association with UFOs, albeit not the sort of UFO's one tends to associate with extraterrestrial intelligence. In this case the UFOs are more akin to ball lightning or the World War Two 'foo-fighters'. So, apparently associated to if somewhat rare phenomena are motion pictures that shows a small ball or balls of light executing a smooth trajectory over or near crop circles. From what I've viewed, maybe its birds, but I did not see any activity or maybe paper or flapping toy balloons blowing in the wind – though the pathways Seemed too smooth to cater for random wind gusts or wind movement, and even bird flight is somewhat erratic. What could give the illusion of small balls of light Relatively close to ground level? That is not, we're talking high altitude weather balloons or Venus or clouds or flares or lights or aircraft search lights, etc.

So, overall I'm forced to reluctantly into extraterrestrial intelligence explanation. Crop circles just might be an alien's way of showing their intelligence and desire to communicate in a friendly, non-threatening manner. In a sense, we've done the same – we recall the pictograms attached to the Pioneer 10 and 11 spacecraft, and the Voyager 1 and 2 probes, all of Which are heading out there into the depths of interstellar space to one day, maybe , be found by extra terrestrials.

If crop circles are alien pictograms, said maybe extraterrestrial intelligence think us pretty thick for not having figured out their message (s) – well, maybe relative to them, we are thick as a brick. However, if aliens are behind these pictograms, then in one sense I think they are thick as a brick! I fail to understand, if this is an attempt at a mathematically oriented communication, why not just put a 'crop' circle, with fractal design, on the Moon, visible through any reasonable telescope? That alone would settle the human-vs. alien intelligence debate!

When all is said and done, I have to use the Sherlock Holmes often quoted saying that "when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth". Still, I find the extra terrestrial intelligence Possibility unsatisfactory, but probably the least impossible of all the impossibilities.

The 'Maybe It's Some Other Explanation' Connection:

New Age gurus suggest that crop circles are Mother Nature's way of telling us that we're responsible for doing nasty things to her. Or maybe Planet Earth has somehow mysterious energy forces that manifest themselves as pictograms in the English countryside. Now I'm not (yet) into nebulous natural energy grids and ley lines and mysticism and New Age cosmic forces and extreme forms of Gaia Theory as explanations of crop circles. But, then seeing as how 'dark energy' unexpectedly popped out of the woodwork astronomical! Still I'm not ready to gamble on those metaphysical ideas quite yet, if for no other reason than concepts like ley lines and undefined 'cosmic forces' and ilk are hardly related to intelligence or life force, and thusly ruled out. Intelligence has to rule here.

Well, maybe crop circles are a smoking gun that we do live in a Universe and simulated on a simulated planet. All other 'rational' explanations are equally, if not more so, ridiculous. If extraterrestrials, their motive is not at all obvious. If human origin in, crop circle graffiti should be way more widespread like ordinary back alley brick wall graffiti is, not to mention that a lot higher percentage of crop circle culprits or 'artists' should have been caught, tried, convicted, and fined for vandalism, destruction of private property and just plain trespassing.

On the other hand, they certainly are not the marks of UFOs landing. Nor are Whirlwinds a be-all-and-end-all explanation. And again, I really do not want to try to come to terms with any mystical solutions – earth energies, Gaia, whatever. There is clearly of intelligence at work here, and I'm damned if I know what it is. If I had to vote for the most puzzling scientific mystery of our times, this would be it. However, I'm reasonably convinced it probably has nothing to do with UFOs or EIT has little relevance here And therefore, but that's still the least plausible of all the other explanations impossible. I sure wish I knew what was going on!

Ultimately, the pictures tell the story, and that story just tells you that crop circles can not exist – but they do. How you resolve that paradox is, well, your problem. One division is to decide Whether crop circles are information or communication. They certainly are information in the way a painting is information, but are they communication? If so, and then if human, the message is' ha ha, fooled you! " If not human – ah, therein lies the rub.

Anyway, we can speculate until the crops are harvested to little end. Perhaps it might be better to conclude instead that the jury is well and truly shut out despite the above mentioned observation that Sherlock Holmes "when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth".

In summary, I'm convinced some, many, even most cases are genuine crop circle – what I can not suss out, rather only speculate on, is the who (or whose intelligence), the why and the how.

UFOs Don't Exist: If They Did Our Surveillance Would Detect Them

If some orbiting piece of space junk threatens to intersect the orbit of the International Space Station, the powers-that-be know about it. If a foreign power launches missiles or aircraft against another country, we know that too. If a commercial airliner goes off-course, we also know that. So, if alien spaceships were near or in Earth's atmosphere, the powers-that-be would know that too. It's obvious they don't know, therefore there aren't any alien spaceships (UFOs).

Mythology Isn't What It Used To Be

Not all that long ago, a new academic pastime came to be – the study of the mythological beliefs of our ancient ancestors. Mythology was simple. Mythology was fiction, full stop. It was just a collection of folklore and legends, fairytales and tall tales. It was entertainment for our ancestral masses. Then some bright spark comes along and suggests there might be some reality behind the myths. Mythology lost its innocence and so mythology today ain't what it used to be just a few centuries back.
