Are you suggesting that the circlemaker gets to the field,removes the lawnroller from the back of the truck or car lowers it to the ground…and then what? Im not kidding what does he do hoist it over his head and take it to the site? Does he then fill it with water? If he fills it with water first than theres no hoisting it is there? So how does he get from point A to B without flattening everything on his way to the sight? Im sure the poster that thought it was possible to jump from one stool to the next is now kicking himself having thought it thru. Its ok to believe these circles are manmade,but Ill bet anything there not done as stated,that is with any plank and rope. ---

I don’t suppose you have a theory about why people are taking credit for crop circles they aren’t making, and even making videos of themselves making crop circles without using lasers. ---

> [@Marley23](#): > > I don’t suppose you have a theory about why people are taking credit for crop circles they aren’t making, and even making videos of themselves making crop circles without using lasers. As a matter of fact Marley Ill add to your questions.Whats the payout? Now cropcircles are a household name known the world over so whats the actual payout for the guys that make them? I can imagine with fairs coming up in the fall of the year there would be a market for the circlemakers to make circles with a crowd of paying customers looking on. But these men do it for nothing. If they get caught by an angry farmer they risk fines and even jail time. Still they do it. Without noteriety without so much as a red cent they do it. Why? It cant be for the money,it cant even be for the fame,so why do it? ---

It cant be for the money,it cant even be for the fame,so why do it? If I asked you what your name was, I think you’d respond with a question instead of just telling me. I think the people who make crop circles do it because they’re entertained by it and they like making a mystery. Most of them aren’t very famous. Now, if these people are not responsible for the crop circles you’re talking about, _why are they taking credit and demonstrating their ability to make the crop circles? What could possibly be their motivation?_ ---
