I was intrigiuged by photoshopping crop circles, so I tried to.

I think if my first time came out this good with practice any crop circle you see on the web could VERY easily be faked.

Boo hoo.

You started it. And you're the one getting 'angry' over the fact that I just posted my opinions, and you got butt-hurt over them.

I wont even try to argue anymore. I try to make peace, and I get it shoved right in my face. You wont even admit your own mistakes.


And Syphon, you're point is a good one. You see how a professional could make a whole video out of it? It's sad that pictures are no longer as valid as they used to be as evidence.

I would also like to point out that since is has been proven hoaxers make circles, would not the aliens perceive that as a 'we got the message' sort of signal? Just something I thought of, but it is something to think on. Fifty years or so.... You'd think they've had revealed themselves by now.

EDIT: Removed my flames.

yes they do see that we have gotten the wrong image that is why the crop circles are getting more and more complex.

well even though crop circles have been going on for centries the world has not become more facinated by other life in the past 3 decades. and as you can see not many people believe that aliens exist.

Actually, 90% of the world beleives in aliens. Just not a great deal beleive in crop circles.

Read my signature, smart one.

And if 90% of the world believes in Aliens, why is it when I ask people, they laugh at me?

Well my thoughts on aliens are:


A quote from the godly HighImpactHalo:
"Bull until proven."

biggrin.gif
I think it's pretty self-explanitory. People make up stuff way more often than you think, just to either make people pay attention to them or to freak somebody out and play a trick on them (Gasp! I'm disagreeing with Kellimus! RUN TO THE BUNKER!)


So basicly I'm saying-- Oh wait-- Wait a second. ANOTHER QUOTE. This time from another website:
"A Magical green crossdressing rapdancing martian with bombs strapped to him screaming "Wugasee".

So until a magical rapdancing crossdressing martian with napalm strapped to him screaming gibberish runs twords my house, accompanied by 8 midgets singing "We're the candymen", I'm a little skeptic.



We should all get on with our lives until that 1337 rapdancing martian comes, guys.

Crop circles are fake. They are just a hoax. I watched a mini-series on crop circles. They showed two pictures of crop circles and asked the viewer, which one was fake. I obviously pointed to the cruddy looking one. Apparently, both of them were made by humans. Also suprisingly, both of them appeared to be humongous. Sadly they were TINY! Crop circles aren't that big and are easily created. I saw another show where they had crop circle making contests. The people made IDENTICAL designs and they were flawlessly made.

Fake....

did they have electromagnetic fields, small iron balls, and popped joints?
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Shapechanger on 2006-01-30 at 22:50:36
The wheat expert on the Discovery Channel said the joints pop becuase they strain trying to upright themselves.
Hoaxers have taken claim to the 'small iron balls', claiming they scattered them across the crop circles 'for effect'.
There were only two instances of 'electromagnetic fields' around crop circles, both which were proven to be coincidence.

no the popped joints come from microwave radiation where the inside of the joints become so heated that they explode. hoaxers say whatever they want to it doesnt mean that they did it. and there are many more than 2 electromagnetic fields. it has been proven that you can duplicate it.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Kow on 2006-01-31 at 02:23:28
How do you prove electromagnetic feilds are coincidence?

I thought that the said crop was not harmed in any way, save the bent part.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Shapechanger on 2006-01-31 at 08:10:45
Oh no, farmers farking hate Hoaxers becuase most of the bent crops are unharvestable at that point. Think about those massive crop circles, and how pissed the field's owners are.

.... dude i watched it on the discovery channel. they tried to duplicate an authentic crop circle so they made a microwave gun. all of the equiptment was bulky(except for the planks and rope) they made an extremely simple crop circle within 4 hours. after they finished the joints were popped.

I'll find a source, and you find a source.
Be right back, Googling....

One that was not mentioned was the farmers, or universities. Crop circles take a lot of time, angle caclulations and technology. I do not belive it is aliens, they show on tv people acually doing it. But Also a counter thing to this is, who would ruein there crops for this publicity stunt, it's not worth it. So it goes either way.. But i think it hoxers if i have to vote.

no one looks at all of the information...

Screw Google, Wikipedia has a nice crop circle article. Which is definantly more neytral than a random search.

Sie, you can't trust everything you see on the discovery channel. Most of their information is accurate but I recall several shows where they farked up badly. A few episodes of Mythbusters come to mind.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Sie_Sayoka on 2006-02-01 at 18:34:29
yeah i know not everything on the discovery channel is true but the show filmed every part of recreating a crop circle. they showed the equiptment needed to duplicate the effects. and indeed it generated an electromagnetic field that shut down the helichopter for a split second. they also duplicated the popped joints. anyway im gonna try replicate my own *takes apart microwave*

They invented a tool rake type tool that is easy to handle that compresses wheat grains against the ground that "bends" the stalks of grain. It really works well. The grains that are compressed with this rake tool have the same appearance as the ones that are supposedly created by electromagnetic fields.

The crop is still harvestable. Easier to harvest. The farmers are not mad. They are actually happy. Crop circles bring attention to their fields and start up business as well as money for them. They gain both ways.

Also, the crop circles are not massive. The largest crop circle was roughly the size of 4 medium houses against each other (I believe the largest one was actually as big as the entire field which was pretty massive, but was found later to be a hoax and was photoshopped). The ones that appear to be large are actually smaller then they seem. They use photographic tricks to decieve the viewer. Notice how most of the crop circles are taken by cameras so that nothing around the farm is shown. Just a deception of size and depth.
