Most crop circles are unimpressive nothings, which could have (and probably were) made by a group of pranksters. What gets me about this phenomenon are the intricate, amazing-looking ones that, if you asked me, couldn’t be made easily by humans in a week, let alone a night. My only doubt about the really impressive ones is: were they were genuinely made ‘overnight’? The one I always cite is the 2001 Milk Hill circle. Now, if you tell me that a bunch of, say, 25 people have a week to create this masterpiece (for that’s what it is), then I might believe you, but even then with difficulty, given its scale and precision. If you tell me that on a Monday this thing wasn’t there, and by a Tuesday morning it was … then, there is either an army of very skilful, speedy artists out there, or something very strange is going on. It all hinges on whether these things are created overnight, something which cannot be verified, alas.

@Gotanycheeze Good point, well made. I think, in truth, there have been average-to-botched ones, and half-finished ones (both types all-too-human in origin), but your general point applies to the stupendous ones; never seen a half-finished Milk Hill type. However, while precision is important here, for me the key thing is the time; Milk Hill, 409 perfectly formed circles and perfectly aligned to fit a whole … made overnight?! The other thing humans would need to make the really intricate ones is an overhead guide. Presumably, if it was humans that did Milk Hill, they had some sort of drone to help them. I’m not a great believer, on current evidence, of the alien visitation theory (notwithstanding the freaky Pentagon footage), so my gut feeling tells me that these complex crop circles are made by some kind of natural phenomenon. Or, maybe it is us, a kind of anonymous Banksy-type crop circle artist(s).

Here’s my theory: 99% of these things are made by two pi**ed-up blokes on their way home from the pub. The ones that blow me sideways are the fancy-pants geometrical shapes, often on a humongous scale, but, and here’s the clincher for me: made overnight! Unless there is an army of crop circle artists roaming the planet making these outstanding examples, I cannot explain them, they are that impressive. Given that it would take 4.22 years, travelling at the speed of light (an impossibility due to Special Relativity), to get to Proxima Centauri, I rule out aliens. The astrophysics of the issue rules them out, notwithstanding the elephant in the room question of why extraterrestrials would want to travel to a very minor planet of a slightly less minor star, of which there are 200 billion trillion in the known Universe. You know that day when someone told you there are more stars in the Universe than all the grains of sand on all the beaches on this planet? They hadn’t been tripping, and so to choose our star would be, to paraphrase Paul Newman, like eating hamburgers every night when you could have steak.

@stuartanthony6409 I had never seen the Triple Julia before. Impressive, if not quite up there with Milk Hill. The other thing that strikes me is that, presumably, the makers have an ‘eye in the sky’ to coordinate their efforts. A drone perhaps. Also, if Milk Hill was made in 1 night, and the word I’ve heard/read is that it was, then with Milk Hill on almost the exact same latitude as London, and in August, having checked the sunset/sunrise times - approx 2000-0600 - this gave the creators about 8 hours of proper darkness. So, 409 circles; 8 hours; a team of say, 25? That’s each person averaging about 16 circles in those 8 hours of proper darkness, ensuring that their individual efforts coordinated with the whole. 2 circles per person per hour. Put like that the mystery and stupendousness is suddenly removed from the whole scenario. Yes, I can see this. Still mighty impressive, though. My main theory as to the provenance of the really impressive circles is, essentially, a team of crop circle Banksys having a good laugh, whilst creating something engendering mystery in the wider populace who want to take notice. I consider myself a fairly evidence-based, rational person, and don’t have that much time for the gamut of paranormal paraphernalia, but my one weakness/concession to non-rationality, almost, for some reason, is crop circles. Rationally, I kind of know it’s us; but …

@stuartanthony6409 This Pentagon stuff is, if I’m gonna hitch my star to any alien thing, it. But even there, I watch this stuff and what is going through my mind is 1. Do we believe the provenance? That is, do we believe what the US govt. is telling us here? Not so sure. 2. Even if we do take these freaky wee black dots on a screen as serious ‘craft’ that were witnessed by US pilots, can we trust them as being a case of ‘alien visitation’? I need more than this, really. It’s all too ambivalent for me. Hitherto, and I’ve looked into this stuff as an amateur for a good 20 years, the only stuff that really ‘spooks’ me that is out there are the complex crop circles. Nothing else that I’ve seen makes me, even remotely, buy the ‘alien visitation’ theory. Even the crop circles are probably humans. In fact, almost definitely, but, for me, the more complex ones (if they were, indeed, made literally in one night) are more ‘evidence’ of something ‘extraterrestrial’ than anything else I have seen or read or heard as testimony. I work on hard evidence, really, and for me this is lacking when it comes to the idea we are being visited by aliens.
