When I first encountered cow mutilation long ago ,it was interesting. But after 20 years of plucking out eyeballs and anuses, don’t you think aliens would have learned all they can get from them by now? ---

> [@Colibri](#): > > How many malacologist’s penises have you seen?:dubious: Zoology fail. A malacologist studies animals in the phylum mollusca, such as clams, snails, squid etc. Barnacles are Arthropods, more specifically crustaceans. I don’t think there is a particular name for a scientist who studies crustaceans. (Crustologist? Crustaceanologist? Crustalist?)

They’re just normal microwaves, not magical bending rays. They can heat things up, and disrupt electrical circuits. If crop circles were composed of areas where the stalks were scorched from top to bottom or vaporized, then you hypothesis might have some merit. But since they consist of stalks that are folded over in a uniform direction, your “beam weapon” explanation makes no sense.
