I don’t know who’s making these things but they are just amazing!
The Crop Circular - The World’s Premier Crop Circle Research Site
So, is it people just messing with us here? Or is it someone else?
:eek:

It is people just messing with us. What else could it possibly be?
Crop circles are part of an alien plot of course. You see, the aliens (while capable of interstellar travel) are unable to master GPS technology. They use the crop circles to coordinate large scale assaults on humanity in which they attempt to confound us with a series of sucessively more irritating plot holes until we become too jaded to resist… 
I think it’s the crows messing with us. They’re scary-smart.
The whole crop circle hoopla was a very long term plan by the Walt Disney Company. It has now reached its culmination with the successful release of the film Signs. It will begin the wind down phase by early next year during the home video and pay-per-view releases of the film. Expect a minor aftershock just prior to its debut on pay cable.
Damn that Michael Eisner is sneaky. And patient.
My thoughts exactly
You’ve hit the nail on the head. It was those cleaver marketing folks all along.
Those freaks! Knocking over my cornfields just to sell cleavers! Like I’d ever trade in my scythe…

Aliens are doing it because they want us to laugh at the idea of aliens… I mean, what bloody alien in their right mind is going to sneak out to some farm in the middle of nowhere, trample some wheat and take off again? That’s right up there with anal probing, man, it just make no sense that a species with interstellar travel doesn’t already KNOW what our colons look like, I mean DARN!
So we all think people who believe in aliens are idiots, we go our merry way, and the aliens can get on with their real objectives. Namely, propagating Pokemon to the masses so that they will be worshipped as gods when they make themselves known to us.
Don’t you know it’s because they are leaving us a message? They are probably laughing at the fact that we can’t even figure out what the heck they’re trying to tell us so they continue to trample the wheat, go home, repeat and repeat again.
Now hopefully us humans will figure out what they’re saying before they actually get here!
Put it this way.
They started in Hampshire (the English one) near an agricultural college (Sparsholt).
I’m from near there. There isn’t much to do.
Students get bored.
The media go mad.
And you know the rest.
The government is making the crop circles. Well, actually astronauts in training are making them, but it’s the government that’s putting them up to it.
You see, we have already mastered faster-than-light travel, and when Earthlings arrive on those distant worlds teeming with intelligent life, naturally the first order of business is going to be to land in their fields, make silly shapes, and then come back to Earth without telling anyone.
I can’t explain why, none of you are intelligent enough to understand. Only my hyper-intelligent crow understands me.

Here is the crop circle storyfrom the latest issue of U.S. News and World Report magazine.
Doug Bower and the late Dave Chorley began this whole thing as a prank. Kept at it for 13 years.
I came in here since I misread the topic. I thought it said “want to make crop circles.” My answer to that would be “HELL YEAH!” If only it were easily possible to do it in my lawn now that would rock.
