There's good evidence that aliens have been defacing the earth's surface with geological grafitti for a very long time. The curious lines and drawings on the Nazca plain in Peru likely have the same cause.
At that earlier time in history the aliens had only primitive writing instruments. They were still using "pens" made of inorganic material, that emit E-rays Earth rays. These only affect non-living things. Sand on flat ground is easily moved around with very little energy. No advanced mathematical figures are found at Nazca, only long straight lines, pictures and geometric doodles. Obviously the aliens weren't as scientifically advanced then.
Then why are the lines so perfect, and the straight lines so straight? The reason is quite simple: on their side of the blackboard the aliens used rulers. School kid's prank? A number of commentators claim to have proven to their own satisfaction that the Ancient Egyptians didn't have the resources or technology to build the pyramids. Could it be that the pyramids of Egypt were built by alien kids, who, in a playful mood, pushed their play blocks into their blackboard, all the way through, coming up point first on our side?
Following this line of reasoning, perhaps Stonehenge and similar structures are the result of an alien children's game in which stone pegs are pushed into a geometric array of holes. Endnotes 1. If they came looking for intelligent life, they came to the wrong place. See: Catran, Jack. Is there intelligent life on earth?
Lidiraven books, His experiments showed that these rays could stimulate the early growth of other nearby plants. It's not unreasonable to suppose that they could also cause structural changes in mature cereal plants by weakening mature stalks. Euclidean geometry restricted itself to geometric constructions and proofs about figures that could be constructed using only an ungraduated straightedge and a compass.
That perhaps they represent some sort of alien language. Others believe that they are a hoax by people who wish to scare or stun the people who view them. But whatever the reason people believe what they do, crop circles have a long and vibrant history that has many legends swirling around it.
The first appearance of a crop circle was in England The crops in his field were trampled or cut down in the shape of a circle. The circle was recorded on a wood engraving.
However, different editions of the wood engraving depict a devilish being with a scythe cutting at the crop. That goes against the usual descriptions of crop circles because they are typically described as being patted down into the shape and not cut.
Since then, many crop circles have popped up in the countryside of the United Kingdom, but throughout the years, crop circles have begun to appear in other countries. In in Australia, a farmer said that he saw a flying saucer leave a swampy area, and when he investigated the area he found a circular pattern lain into the reeds and swamp grass.
However, police blamed the shape on natural phenomena like disease or water damage. The difference in the two accounts is that the man in Australia obviously blamed it on aliens, but the man in England believed it to be the devil.
Scientists and police since then have garnered the truth and believe that the circles might appear from a certain disease in the plant. Different types of fungi and sickness within the grass or crop can make the plant fall, and sometimes it happens in localized patterns, which might explain the actual circle that is formed. The theories on the origins of crop circles are wide and varied. One explanation in the s said that they are formed from overactive hedgehogs.
Another theory says that specific wind patterns to an area could cause the crop to lie down. The force of the energy on the land would cause the crop to fall. But many people who believe in an extraterrestrial origin think that aliens use their enhanced technology to send energy down from outer space to create patterns in the crop.
Others still believe that spaceships are the cause for the varying patterns in the ground. Benjamin Radford, a contributor for LiveScience, said that unlike other supernatural or unexplainable entities like Bigfoot, crop circles are very real and definitely exist.
They were inspired by the case in Australia, so they tried to blame the circles on UFOs. Like with the case in Australia, the legend becomes more about the sighting of a UFO or an alien spaceship than it is about the actual crop circle. Since then, people have used crop circles to varying degrees. Jay Busbee, in a article for Yahoo! News, published that one man in California created a crop circle as a publicity stunt.
The circle gained attention in late , and eventually the chipmaker that created it confessed to doing so. And that seems to ring true for many unbelievers in the supernatural. People tend to believe that all crop circles are manmade because so many people have come forward and confessed in the making of various crop circles.
It was August — the height of crop circle season — and I'd been directed here by frenzied online reports of a new formation, which had appeared, as they are wont to do, overnight; apparently unseen by observers. From the ground, I could make out nothing but intersecting lines of trampled wheat — but photographed from above the pattern resembled a crosshair.
Was this the nexus for some kind of potent Earth energy? Or, terrifyingly, a target for extra-terrestrial weaponry? In this instance, something more mundane. Although such formations have appeared worldwide, from California to the rice paddies of Indonesia , south-west England is the world capital of crop circles.
They are particularly concentrated in the county of Wiltshire, where a treasure trove of ancient history includes the Neolithic sites of Stonehenge and Avebury — both crop circle hotspots. Carving artwork into the landscape is an age-old tradition in these parts; chalk horses adorn eight hillsides in Wiltshire; while the UK's oldest geoglyph, the stunning Bronze Age Uffington White Horse , sits just across the border in Oxfordshire.
Reports of mysterious patterns appearing in wheat, barley and corn fields in the area began to circulate in the s, but it was in the late '80s that the phenomenon exploded. Circles began to appear more frequently and became far more ornate: some resembled trippy fractals ; others rune-like hieroglyphs; others stylised animals recalling those of the Nazca Lines in Peru.
The intricacy and size of the formations, coupled with the fact that they would appear overnight, seemingly out of nowhere, baffled locals and farmers alike. In , a crop circle appeared opposite Stonehenge depicting a mathematical fractal called a Julia set; a similar formation that emerged on Milk Hill in was one of the largest ever, stretching ft.
A formation near the Iron Age hill fort of Barbury Castle required decoding by an astrophysicist , who concluded that it was a geometric representation of the first 10 digits of pi. Formations reported in have included a hexagonal pattern overlaid with spirals in Avebury, and a pattern of concentric "bubbles" in Tidworth Down.
Crop circle season usually begins at the end of May, with the first ripening of the barley, and ends by September when the harvesting of the crops cuts away the circle canvasses.
As the number of crop circles has grown, so has the mythology surrounding them. Some invoke the theory of ley lines : mystical seams of spiritual energy that intersect at sacred sites like Avebury and Stonehenge. Others claim that the circles are created by an extra-terrestrial intelligence attempting to warn humanity about climate change, nuclear war and similar existential threats.
One even appeared in May in the shape of a coronavirus, leading to feverish speculation that crop circles are trying to give us clues about immunology and Covid Among those who discount the alien hypothesis, a common theory is that human circle makers "tap into" some kind of collective consciousness, perhaps explaining the prevalence in crop circles of universal mathematical patterns that also occur in nature — the fractal branching of snowflakes and blood vessels and the spiralling shells of molluscs, for example.
