ti-mig-guy Posted July 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 From a plane, pretty sure they would have been seen. In one hour it would be hard to complete it 100%, that's my point. Too fast, to be made by man, and too perfect to be done in time. That image I linked sucked, but Google image is loaded with others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Quinn Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Yer but the pilot could be bullshitting. I'm sure theres been plenty of cases of crop circles/ufo sightings/photos of fairies that have been proved wrong cos people are straight up lieing and being devious for publicity or other wierd reasons.That one you showed there wouldn't be hard to make at all, it's just loadsa little ones put together. All the ones on google images could be drawn by someone with ok technical drawing skills and a bit of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nick Riviera Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Those are way to complex to be man made. If we could do that with a rope ladder and a plank, it still leaves the question of who made the patterns and how did they scale them up to full size? If you think they are fake, grab a pencil ruler and anything else you think will help, and try to make a drawing of one. If you could draw it, accurately, in one night I would be amazed. Then you need to figure out how to weave the down stalks together to form intricate patterns.Dude, spirograph.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 This post is so full of flaws,http://www.sott.net/signs/images/posters/sott_circles.jpgThose are way to complex to be man made.

Then you need to figure out how to weave the down stalks together to form intricate patterns.Please answer me these questions:Why are they too complex? They're just basic patterns in reality. That's like finding a detailed painting and saying "that's way too complex to be man made". Just because you're too dumb to be able to draw them, doesnt mean everyone is.The people who made them are probably very bored individuals, if you want to see how they scale them up, check these links out http://lug.oregonstate.edu/events/firefox/crop-circle http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Crop-Circlehttp://science.howstuffworks.com/crop-circle5.htmBasically, you start out with someone in the middle, and then a piece of rope, and thats how you work out the exterior shape. It's all maths pretty muchI don't think they're "fake", I don't see how they could be, but what makes you think these people draw them in one night? I'm sure they take months of planning, and then a strong workforce to get it right, I very much doubt it's one dude doing it.Also, the stalks arent woven into patterns, it's just the way that they look from the air. If you got up close to them, you'd just see that's how the stalks of the plant have fallen.This post has proven to you to be a f**king idiot. What the hell are you thinking?!

Revolver Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Some of these are made by teams of dudes at night with sticks and string.It's been on tellybut no-one could make this -with a stick and some string in one night, surely.

Bearded Midget Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 (edited) Otherwise we can conclude that aliens do not have hayfever.lmfao!to be honest, i think if an alien landed in a field it would leave either 3 or 4 'wheel' marks like a plane, or the 'mysterious' oblong shape people seem to think they look like, not some pretty pattern. or maybe it might be the rugby ball thats been spying on ali Edited August 1, 2008 by Bearded Midget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonMack Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 If these patterns are so impossible to create how come they can be drawn? Surely it's just drawing but on a different scale and with different tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 I'm reasonably confident if I drew something on paper, I could work out a fully logical and practical way of making it over 100 time larger in a crop field.That's what I'm training to do. The most recent one was a depiction of Pi, to ten decimal places, was pretty cool, but nowhere near as complex as some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the hell are you thinking?!I am talking about the time table involved. When you take into account that there is about 5 hours of full dark in the UK in the summer, and farmers are keeping an eye out for vandals, the time is short. For the Tripple Julia set the math is astounding. The average amount of time available for each circle is 1.15 minutes, thats fast. Even if they had staked it all out (that would leave holes, and they are not there) this would be to fast. No doubt people could do it, but I don't think it could be done so fast. When a team used surveying equipment in the full sun, it took 4 people 12 hours to plot the points on paper. It took over 120 points of reference to lay it out.I do agree that there are ton of "fake" crop circles, but there are some that seem to good to be fake.

Bigman Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 maybe its just british people that like making up bullshit.seeing as its a farmers field, usually the crops are higher than head height. so nobody would be able to see people doing it, if it was people The crops that crop circles are usualy discovered in are now where near head height unless you are some sort of midget, they are usualy done in what looks like either Wheat, Barley or possible Oats.Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kinda the same thing. And again, for the ones that seem to complicated, the farmer could be in on it? Theres alot of publicity and stuff there.

Either way cool thread Some random guy bumped it, but he appeared to have only signed up to bump this thread. I'm guessing his posts/account got deleted so it looks like it's just randomly appeared. Anyway, crop circles are kind of interesting. They're not made by little green men, (unless the humans making them happen to be short and very ill or painted), but they're interesting all the same.
