Crop circles are made by hoaxers using string and planks. They enjoy the publicity.
There are far more than 2 UK hoaxers, and since you will get a lot of attention from pseudo-scientists, people try this game all over the world.
Some quotes from the Dutch link:
“Jan Willem used dowsing rods to determine energy ley lines.”
Ah, yes. Dowsing is that psychic ability that never works when you ask to see it demonstrated.
(See http://www.randi.org for details.)
“When I entered the 8th circle, I was stupefied to see that there was a brand new circle added to the tail! **I counted and re-counted the circles of the tail. **There were 9 circles instead of the 8 we counted before. During our research, there was an extra circle added. Just like that, and we didn’t see or hear anything. About ten minutes before, Jan Willem had taken some samples from the last circle, the 8th of the tail, and he didn’t see a new circle. He is 200% sure that there wasn’t a new circle at that time.”
- He has to count to 9 twice?
- Obviously a mathematician, using the phrase ‘200% sure’.
"My nephew, Jan Willem, he felt (the crop circle) with his hands and he told us that it felt warm. I tried, but I was completely astonished so I didn’t feel it. But he told me it felt warm. "
No point in using a measuring device like a thermometer. One guy says it feels ‘warm’, another doesn’t. Conclusive proof then.
“And then the next step is a lot of clues to make a crop circle without entering the field. … If we succeed making a crop circle without entering the field and we find the blown nodes and all the other stuff, then we know which technique the crop circle makers use. After that, we want to try making formations without being in the field.”
Now we already know you can make a crop circle using just string and planks, without leaving any traces like footprints.
But these guys think there must be another ‘technique’. Occam must be spinning in his grave.
“The next step after that is communication and maybe in the future, we meet some of the ‘guys’ (crop circle creators). I don’t know, but that’s a far away future.”
Ah, so you’re going to e-mail the English hoaxers, then?
“Eltjo’s research connects spherical energies above the crop to plants going down in formations. I don’t know what the balls of lights are. Maybe it’s intelligence that is controlled? Or maybe the lights are on their own. I don’t know that. But there is a relationship. Absolutely.”
No, apparently not.
