| What are crop circles and how are they formed? Are they a hoax perpetuated by humans? If they are real, what do they mean?
Crop circles are geometric patterns that suddenly appear in farmers' fields
during the night around the world. While farmers in Britain recollect simple circles appearing in their fields for generations, the British media first reported on the circles in the early 1980s. In the 1990s, crop circles changed from simple circular patterns into huge and complex, geometric formations. Viewing crop circles has become a serious hobby in Britain and the season begins in April as the crops begin to grow. It lasts until late August when the crops are harvested.
A coworker of mine in the UK asked me if I
believed crop circles to be real. I replied that I certainly do
want them to be real! What a wonderful phenomenon to offset our
frantic, technological-based way of life. I marvel at the
brilliance of these agricultural glyphs in how they profoundly
speak to all of us in a way that each of us can understand whether
we be a child, adult, farmer, scientist, etc. These objects
contain messages that are conveyed using art, physics, chemistry,
geometry and symbolism.
I've watched a couple
of videos on the subject and I love how the deeper the scientists
dig, the greater the mystery becomes as they find layer upon layer
of evidence of something transformative taking place within the
plants. When people are confronted with this issue, the theories
fly fast and furious, covering everything from scientific to spiritual
to absolute denial.
Having already
accepted crop circles as genuine artifacts, I grabbed a couple of
books off our shelves here at home to get an off-world
perspective. I figure the humans have had their say so let's
see what some extra-terrestrials, another delightful subject I
love to ponder, have to say about this Earthly phenomenon:
