Message from outer space.

Do I beleive the cropcircle was a message?


Sorry, No.

ok. No need to apologize.

Come to think, I'd be surprised if anyone were to say yes to this without first seeing the background material I am unable to supply.

So I don't really know why I bothered with this thread..

So what, exactly are crop circles? And seeing as one turned up on John Major's lawn once - how come we're not investigating the possibility that aliens have already infiltrated UK/US governments, taken control of Blair's/Bush's brains and set a course for WWIII, hoping that we'll nuke each other and they can step in and nick our oil?

Sounds more feasible than the alternative.

The UK and US just happen to have, at exactly the same time in history, a moron running their country.

I never have believed in coincidence

Nope, it's aliens all right. And I don't know about Bush - but Blair's almost completely taken over







God help us all

I'd really like to clear this up once and for all, you folks bein' good freinds and everything.











Damned fuddyduddies back on the mothership keep tellin' me not to say anything, though.

I have only a vague idea of what a cropcircle is, nor am all that clear about binary code. But it seems a good, timely message, wherever it came from.

I especially liked the part about there still being "good out there" & there still being time. I have been seriously doubting that, for a while.

Here's the circle with the message:




The binary code is in the disc that alien is holding.

There was also another one that amazed me, and when I find a picture of it I'll post it.

Yeah, here it is.



This is allegedly the reply to our 1974, twenty trillion watt radio transmission to the stars.




These images were found at http://www.gaiaguys.net/Chilbolton01.htm
I must confess, these gaiaguys seem to be mad as loons, judging from their website. I found it doing an image search, and my intention in posting the link was NOT to advocate their information.


In the large picture we see both our transmission and the reply.

seriously Cyracuz

I read somewhere that you don't get crop circles in countries that do not have US military bases in them.

And that dead animals have been found (frazzled) on the sites

I reject the media push - that they are all made by hoaxers - they are far too complicated and precise and fast.

But the testing of new weaponry via satellite? Now that I could believe.
The message goes with this - because the crop circles are beautiful and do seem to be a 'gift' from outer space.

I'm sure that if governments could not account for who/what is making crop circles, there would be much more dramatic investigation
(Sealed off sites, men in chemical suits checking for radiation etc)
Big headlines - "Yipes, they're here" kind of thing.

But if you wanted to test new weaponry and you were told to make it look like aliens could be involved, to confuse the public and get them off the track - if you threw in a few hoaxers as red herrings.... well......

The fact that one turned up on John Major's lawn makes me suspicious.
"If you can lay one on my lawn without burning down my house - we'll put money in it."

I hope it is aliens - and not a cover for something much more horrible.

I know a guy that made a crop circle with two of his buds about 18 years ago. The media descended on the farm within a few days while my friend and his buddies laughed their asses off. The farmer was pissed that some of his crops were damaged. If aliens want to send us a message how about lighting up the sky with something in English?

Holy cr@p$ have you seen this one??

Cropcircles do not damage the corn. The axis (if that's what they're called in englis) just lay down, but they continue growing.

Secret weapons testing? That could be.

This reminds me of people's tendency to accept the most outrageous "natural" explanation over the simplest "supernatural" one. But I ain't saying this is a bad thing.

I am not saying that I believe aliens did this. But I am not prepared to disregard the notion totally.

stuh

that's nifty. I recognized my face with a cross over it, but I was unable to see what that other thing was...

Neither did I, to be honest. But I was browsing these pictures of crop photos, and this one stuck out to me. It seemed somehow...special. So I ran it through some analysis programs on my computer and it came up with this image match -- for you, of all people!

Now I knew this would be something you had to see, because, clearly, the aliens are going to come for you next...and I've just always wanted to say: watch out for your cornhole, buddy.



EDIT: notice how your face also looks like two lovers kissing. Hmm. This could mean something too, I'm running some more computer simulations I'll get back to you if it turns out to be instructions for building a spacecraft.

Crop circles . . . that's hilarious. I love that one almost as much as i do the UFO brouhaha . . .

Two gentlemen in England, Doug Bower and Dave Chorley, began making crop circles in 1978. They used collapsible scaffolding which allowed then to enter fields without leaving footprints, and then used ordinary items, rope, planks, etc., to make their designs in the growing grain. By the late 1980s, university students had begun to have crop circle contests, and the obvious assumption was that all crop circles have a human agency. In 1991, Bower and Chorley "came clean," and revealed for a television producer the methods by which they created the crop circles. Undeterred, the credulous continue to insist that some, and even most, of crop circles are created by an extraterrestrial agency.

I'd like to find those folks, and sell them a nifty bridge i have in New York.

You can read about these gentlemen here.

This page from the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry discusses crop circles.

Well, now that Setanta has blown up the whole charade by explaining how crop circles are a well-documented hobby I would also like to add: they do damage the corn, the machines cant rightly harvest the stalks when they are lying flat...and they're not grown for the coons.

stuh

that's even more nifty. My guess is that you have some skill in photo manipulating. Photoshop?


set

those goons making circles would be hard pressed to make one that is 240 metres in diameter in the course of one night without anyone noticing.

They undoubtedly made some circles. And others like them made some too.
For the rest, I am content to say that I don't know.

Nonsense. Few places associated with civilization are more isolated and unobserved at night than are croplands. Trust me, partner - at night, in the middle of a well-grown farm field, you and just about however many freinds can do damn near anything you care to do without fear of discovery, let alone interuption. Don't start a fire, don't show any lights, and believe me, you've got allll niiiight. Hell - sometimes, if you didn't plan right, somebody hasta go for more beer.

Yeah I'm OK with Photoshop.

You have quite an open-mind, Cyracuz. In a sense, I envy you...I would love to be capable of believing in this kind of fantasy.

But if there were actually cause to believe, would it still be intriguing? Before we understood electricity, it was magic. Before we knew what the stars were shining over our heads, they were magic...before we could travel into outer space, that was magic. And now it all ceases to amaze.

I doubt that there is any technology so grand that it could continue to capture the human imagination once it had been proven, understood, and tamed -- even time travel into the past, if that's possible.

In the same sense, if we actually had evidence of ghosts, spirits, gods, alien abductions, bigfoot, loch ness, then these events would simply be parts of our boring daily lives, no more capitivating to us than any other fish, ape, smoke or government.

So, when you continue to believe in these sorts of things not based on evidence or reason, I know that instead you believe out of a basic desire to believe in something more mysterious and unreachable...and the fact that they seem mysterious to you shows that deep down, you yourself do not really believe...for if you did, they would cease to be fantastic.

Therefore, I will attempt to dissuade you no longer...and instead I offer: sweet dreams

So you're saying that they made these incredible displays of symmetry; huge figures that can only be percieved in full from the air, -in total darkness?

In the documentary I referred to earler, they accompany a gang of people who are going to make a crop circle. They make one that is small and simple compared to some of the circles shown in this thread. They were more than six people, and they spent six hours in broad daylight doing it. Afterwards they were exhausted.

Sure they could get one hundred people. But the more people you bring on board, the harder it is to maintain secrecy, not to mention coordination of their efforts.

stuh

You are right. I do not really believe. I am in a state of continuous suspense. I see no need to make up my mind on this matter. It is hardly relevant to my day to day affairs.

But a point to prove you wrong: I am two years from thirty, and I have had my fair share of experiences with the female body. Still, it never gets boring. My father is almost sixty, and he agrees with me.
