Why talk about crop circles? As we will discuss below, they are a phenomenon that simply can't be ignored. Formations show up every single year and come with great mystery, even in the scientific realm. Many do not realize some of the amazing things that are happening inside crop circles that blow the board and rope theory out the window.
"Some of these formations are so immense and complex as to defy reason. And after all these decades, none of the perpetrators have been caught in the act of making any of the truly extraordinary formations." - Richard Dolan, historian, academic, author, and one of the world's leading UFO researchers (source)
Richard's thoughts there are quite telling of this reality, and even scientific minds are at a loss for words as although they believe the circles are done by humans, they are calling it the most science oriented art movement ever.
For example, Richard Taylor, a University of Oregon physicist, published a paper on them in the 2011 issue of Physics World, stating:
"Crop circle arts are not going to give up their secrets easily. This summer, unknown artists will venture into the countryside close to your homes and carry out their craft, safe in the knowledge that they are continuing the legacy of the most science-oriented art movement in history." (source)
But what would cause a physicist to conclude that these works do not have an extraterrestrial explanation? Or to even consider the issue seriously?
Here are the pictures of the most recent crop circle reported in the UK. Thanks to CropCircleConnector for the images.
Maybe the Earthbound STS teams have improved their methods, but ten years back...
If the stalks were broken, or had burns or heat-popped segments, if the plants were damaged or disturbed from following through their natural life cycles for the purposes of sending messages, then... it's not STO, which means it's done by manipulative jerks, either with ropes and planks of the pub crawler type, or with advanced energy tools of the pressed shirt, non-disclosured tunnel rat variety.
Whereas, if the plants were undamaged and the signal free of telltale errors and imperfections, then you had an indication that somebody smarter and more evolved was possibly sending messages.
Also.., it seems to me that messages from STO sources are not going to violate free will, which means nothing is easy. No freebies. You have to work and push your mind in order to understand the messages; the work is the point, the message is secondary. -Whereas, the pictographs in this example and others are clearly pandering. You don't have to work. You just have to access preconceived ideas already planted for you and react according to your programming. You don't grow, you just go.
An alien head? Seriously? With Native American head dress? Good lord! Only a true "space-brothers" hippie practiced in the dubious skill of dissociation would be influenced by this kind of fluff. -But I suppose that's the end consumer they have in mind.
The C's said a few years ago now that they were stepping back from this kind of thing. Based on the reduced numbers and quality of recent crop glyphs, and the dumb-assery in the messages, I'd have to say the evidence holds with that idea.
The real signal went off air some time ago.
