Crop Circles




I watched a movie the other night about Crop Circles in England..

The earliest recorded crop circle is depicted in a 17th Century woodcut called the Mowing-Devil. The image depicts a strange creature creating a circular design in a field of corn.
They say that bends in the corn in many circles occur just below a joint, while the flattening of the corn by hoaxers produces a crack at any point in the stem, and some scientific studies on apical nodes bear them out.

But over the years the Crop Circle designs have increased in complexity to the point where they have become an art form.

Take a look at the complex ones they were not done by Kids.
You would need a huge team of people in the middle of the night!


Here are a bunch of pictures.

My brother had one in his back yard like this after he took down the above ground pool.

So… what do you think? Art Form....

I think it's a kingdom plantae version of co-ed syncronized swimming.........only without all that water.

That is the absolutely finest explanation I have ever seen! Thanks Az, I'm a believer now.

If you stand in your field long enough you can watch it do 'the wave'.

OK..OK... I do have to tell the Truth ....The Circles ....Well....there done by RED HAT ladies....
Yep...British Red Hatters.. It's the truth....Trust Me!

They come in by the trailer load at night after getting together at local Pubs.





I like this one! "My crop has bugs"





And this one is Great!
With enough Red Hat ladies they could finish this one out in about an hour and never be seen.



And then they could still make it back to the Pub for last call!

I guess that is the british version of rednecks doing donuts with their 4 x 4s in people's fields where I live. I would go ballistic if someone screwed up 50 acres of my corn like that.

Maybe it's just us but, crop circles look completely different at Berry Hill Farm...more like crop tubes.
