Just follow the cow anuses. \ It always comes down in the final analysis to the cow anuses, doesn’t it. The radioactive cow anuses are used to power the nuclear plant that provides power to the helicopters that the black ops guys use to make the crop circles. ---

I’ll single handedly make “follow the cow anuses” an SDMB meme even if no one else does. Picture it: a MPSIMS thread about adorable kittehs and Freudian Slit posting about why it is that cats love to follow cow anuses. Or a mini rants thread–cow anuses! ---

very funny,no I mean it you guys are clever to say the least.OK Ill sum up for you. I do believe theres something more to cattle mutes and crop circles.This comes from years of reading and viewing. I saw a show on Discovery whereby students from MIT were asked to make a crop circle. They did,they scattered the iron filings by shooting off a small cannon.That was there answer as to how to scatter iron filings.All in all the circle wasnt bad.Of course humans can make crop circles theres no doubt about it. However,closer examination of the much larger circles has one thinking that the time involved was crucial. It took these students hours in broad daylight to make a circle. Milk Hill was made in a single night,it even rained that night. Cattle Mutilations are curious all by themselves. Ranchers who know cattle are taken aback at what they discover. An otherwise healthy animal is found dead when the rancher checked on the animal just the day before and it was standing and healthy. NIDS found an animal said to be mutilated in such a manner and also found formaldehyde in the mouth of the animal. Curious that. Someone mentioned abductions,dont cringe,not yet. Harvards Dr.Mack did a study of people who claim to have been abducted.He insisted that they be tested for any kind of mental illness. It was then that they were accepted into the program. Another person McNally said this was sleep paralysis. But sleep paraylsis only lasts a few moments. Not enough time to account for what these people remember in detail. Its a fasinating subject btw. Ok,gotta get going,thanks for listening. ---

However,closer examination of the much larger circles has one thinking that the time involved was crucial. It took these students hours in broad daylight to make a circle. Milk Hill was made in a single night,it even rained that night. So, you are basing your ideas about how humans make crop circles from a special taking random MIT students and having them try for the first time to make one from scratch. You don’t bother looking at all the reams of information from the people who have been doing this for years, making extremely complex patterns in short amount of time because they’ve worked out all the tricks and are extremely efficient. You’re ignoring the evidence right in front of you because you’ve already come to a conclusion about what happened. That’s not science, sorry. ---

> [@carol\_nistri](#): > > 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. Vallee is gullible and clueless. The article he wrote for Boing Boing was based on new technology for the long-range transmission of microwaves. An optical laser is used to ionize the air to produce a temporary waveguide for the microwaves. It’s a cool idea. Unfortunately, Vallee doesn’t know enough about physics to actually understand the technology he’s so excited about. A directed microwave beam could certainly heat things up from a distance, but since it exerts no force on the target, it’s not going to flatten anything. In Vallee’s addled mind “microwave” = “magic energy beam”. In his ignorance he imagines it can do things that it would be impossible for it to do. The fact that this buffoon is a “#1 figure in the paranormal” is a strong indication of how sloppy most paranormal thinking is. ---

That’s what is so curious. But **carol nistri** did sort of answer that question. > [@carol\_nistri](#): > > I was on Prodigy years ago,we had a lady lawyer in the mix of posters that gave such a thougtful answer Ive never forgotten it. She suggested that these animals that are taken for their soft tissue have been grazing on federal lands under which hot radio active material has been buried,the object of this exercise is to take animals test their soft tissue to see if any of the radio active material has found its way into the grasses and plants the animals have been feeding on. Of course I guess it’s not really _her_ opinion, it’s just what somebody said on line once, and it’s interesting so she decided it’s true. When people pointed out that this theory was convoluted, stupid, and made no sense, she started talking about crop circles.
