A Look at Crop Circles crop circles could be make by pockets of wind or quick circle makers in the night is the intricacy and complexity for which some crop circles are made. The stalks of crop bend both counter clockwise and clockwise and in many cases, layers of stalks lay sandwiched upon one another and bending in both directions yet in a clean, organized, and intricate manner. Withering crops are not broken or damaged but simply lay parallel to the Earth in their precise formation. Some of the circles are geometric designs, geometric patterns of beauty, ancient symbols of civilizations passed and some are even mathematical equations solved from the sky. It is the precise way in which crop circles appear that makes it clear the average farmer hasn’t just materialized a vast knowledge of Euclidean geometry for the sake of getting some attention. Aside from the complex knowledge and effort it takes to make a crop circle, there is also the belief that it might actually take the craft of an extraterrestrial or advanced technological efforts to create the crop circle to begin with. This belief is by far the most controversial but those that believe crop circles are left behind by alien beings believe the signs in the crops are either imprints from their spacecraft or even marks of their presence, like a signature or message to others. Whether you believe the space craft theory is the most likely conclusion to crop circles or not, one skeptical addition to this belief is that the theory of the wind vortices explains that dust particles when spinning in high momentum become charged air, they can appear to then brightly glow, which may explain the UFO-like glowing lights many witnesses have seen near crop circles and that aides to the belief they are alien crafts from the sky. So those that believe the circles are left behind from extraterrestrial sources due to the lights in the sky and the detailed messages they leave behind. chasing an elusive mysterious effect without quite knowing the cause but the crop circle’s magnitude alone makes it a uniquely haunting experience.
