CROP CIRLCES











Some of the world's most interesting phenomenons is the crop circles. Crop circles are areas of cereal or similar crops that have been systematically flattened to form various geometric patterns. The phenomenon itself only entered the public imagination in its current form after the notable appearances in England in the late 1970s. Various scientific and pseudo-scientific explanations were put forward to explain the phenomenon, which soon spread around the world. In 1991, two men, Doug Bower and Dave Chorley, revealed that they had been making crop circles in England since 1978 using planks, rope, hats and wire as their only tools. Circlemakers.org a UK based arts collective founded by John Lundberg have been creating crop circles since the early 1990s. Although the commonly accepted view today is that crop circles are a man-made phenomenon, paranormal explanations, often including UFOs, are still popular.In paranormal circles the study of the crop circle phenomena is called cerealogy. Cerealogists commonly refer to these designs as agriglyphs.

A small portion of the crop circles are made by humans for their own personal reasons. However, the vast majority still prove to be of unknown origin. The scientific community has for the moment deemed the phenomenon of crop circles to be an unexplainable mystery.

Could they be messages from another world? Another galaxy far far away as most alien fanatics think? Could they be signs of the times to come? Could they be just one of mother nature's mysteries? Or are they nothing but hoax?

What is your opinion on them? Tell us what you think they are.
