Ok Ive got to get going but let me leave you with this.Whoever asked what the heck Black Ops were doing mutilating cattle and making crop circles in the fields of England is right on the money with that question. Right outside of Whiltshire England where many of the crop circles are made is a military base.I believe most sincerely that no one enters those fields to make crop circles that there actually made from afar. ---

Suuurre it is,that shading alone is worth the price of admission,one mistake and the manevolent look of the eyes would have been comical.The binary code silly as the message is is pretty percise.I feel like im peeing in the wind here. [This](http://geriscosycorner.blogspot.com/2008/12/alien-illusion-scarf-baby-blanket.html) must be the work of extraterrestrials, too. What mere human could possible have figured out how to do this?

I believe This is the answer to crop circles,their not alien at all.Those of us that have believed it to be true may be a tad disappointed but look what they have successfully done.Made us look in another direction thats what. That means for all of us that have questioned the ability of a couple of guys with a plank and rope,bravo for us ---

If the circles are made by a microwave device as the article claims, howcome the the wheat(or whatever the crop might be) gets bent, instead of cooked by the device? 2. Why would they “calibrate” the devices on privately owned land and risk attracting attention, when most governments have plenty of land to use as testing grounds? Also, I’ve worked with various optical devices emitting laser beams, and since a maser beam behaves very similarly for our purposes, I see no reason why calibrating the device would require drawing elaborate patterns with it. Once you hit something with it, you can pretty much tell where it’s pointing. ---

On this message board, whoever posts something weird, extraordinary, or bullshit, is the one under the obligation to prove themselves. We are under no obligation to read links that you provide. So, once again (with feeling), as so many of the other people have said - WHAT DO YOU THINK IS CAUSING THE CATTLE MUTILATIONS? ---

Well yes I did answer that question of why anyone would take cow anuses and udders and other soft tissue,they take it for testing. And whoever it was that said they didnt want to read the link to Vallee is causing me to get hives,why do you think I posted it in the first place? Go back and read it cause Vallee has been a #1 figure in the paranormal for eons now.Personally I love a mystery and having Vallee echo an idea that this is done from afar and that its a military doing I find exciting.
