There are a couple of questions I have mulled over when it comes to crop circles
To people who believe that crop circles are created by extraterrestrial visitors who are trying to communicate with the people of earth. I would ask if that is the case, then why is the intelligence involved doing such a sloppy job at it? Crop circles have been going on for what over 40 years now, and whatever message they were meant to convey is lost on the masses. In that same time, mankind has made great strides in communicating with primates, yet the ET’s , not content with simple pictograms like our ancient ancestors created, up the ante and come out with increasingly complex fractal patterns that confounds and awes’ us but does nothing to help the bottom line, unless that line is supposed to tease us. To that point is it any coincidence that the patterns involved grow increasingly complex along with man’s increasing capacity to create them with modern technology?
Which is another point, granted man has over the years, improved his technology to be able to create things that 25 years ago would be impossible, but there is a question of access to that technology. I have a hard time believing many crop-circles are done with boards/planks, rope, surveying equipment etc. especially given the time constraints and keeping it on the qt. Being that these are usually done at night, flood lights would be in order or maybe I should say HAVE been in order. Today with decent night vision glasses, exterior lighting would not have been necessary, what about in the past when crop circles first popped up? again if we are talking about a bunch of hoaxers or artists, I doubt they would have access to night vision glasses they would have needed flood lights, would they not? And that they would have to be spotted eventually given the number of circles that have been past. How is it these teams can be as inconspicuous as those who are responsible for cattle mutilations, unless we are talking about people with access to similar technology. I haven’t been particularly impressed by videos posted that showed crop circles being created by a team of people. Even though complexity is a subjective term, the patterns involved seemed fairly pedestrian. Chances are with computers and high tech microwave Inducing (?) equipment, This could be done quite quickly but who has access to that? A team of graffiti artists? I don’t think that these guys could just stop by the local university and borrow whatever equipment would be needed to pull off such a feat in the time involved over and over again for decades without being caught at least once. Has anyone ever been caught, outside some drunk revelers ? Even if the circles were done with simple apparatus available to anyone, and the makers can create crop circles in the time involved what about the lack of damage to crops leading to the site?, from what I have heard there is little visible damage to any crops outside the circle, or for that matter little in the way of tracks would these crews employ clean up crews to clean up any tracks leading to the site even if there are existing farm tracks to remove every little piece of evidence, (anything dropped, left at the scene) would have to add time and again that especially goes for the past when technology was certainly limited and outside the complexity of the circles it seems little has changed when it comes to evidence or lack of evidence. I think that to pull off the circles that are being done today in the time that they seem to form would require the use of portable, yet powerful microwave equipment that is beyond the financial reach of artists or hoaxers but not the military. I’d rather believe that if any interplanetary communication is involved it is our military trying to communicate with ET/Time Travelers not the other way around. Still unlikely though.
