Crop Circles!!...truth or fiction?

Crop circles in 09 were the best!

No matter who or what made the crop circles, they are fascinating.

It took me 3 seasons in research and investigation to discover that 90% or more of crop circle formations are MAN MADE. This should however not discourage you from investigating the phenomenon further as I can assure you that there are things out there which I have seen and photographed, things which are truly unexplainable at this moment in time.

Here's the official website:

A Fox News fluff piece? Not the best evidence. Here are Circlemakers making a crop circle for the News of the World:

I'm adding this article as more food for thought:

It's unlikely that lightning generated these precise geometric designs.

There is considerable debate about what created them.

It's hard to believe that every crop circle making artist in the world would make similar artwork - that's totally unbelievable.

I think its more plausible than alien messages, ley lines or any of the other ridiculous theories for crop circles. Plus there is no evidence of anything else making them, the one supposed video of CCs being made by aliens was later admitted to be hoaxed by the guy who did it:

I already referenced this article in my previous post, but here is the video in question:

There's no reason to suggest that a bunch of lads can't make it. They can take their time in the night (or day.. and the right place with few people around to spot them),
use the right tools, do the math, big crops (who will see them?), get a farmer to play along etc. It is probably not hard to do, if you got a plan...!

As for the storms or the earth making this.. LAWL. Nature doesn't create such obviously logical stuff.. looks way to human.. it's a give-away.

Yeah, it's not like they're all relying on human culture..

Scibat,
You're kind of agreeing with me that it is not possible that every artist making crop circles in the world to make similar designs. That means you're also having a tough time believing it to be possible, yet you feel it is some kind of hoax. I don't blame you.

No, I am not. I think they are all man-made. Since they all use the same tools to create them with similar methods, the results would be similar. To give an example of what I mean, if you are familiar with the old toy a Spirograph. You can make different designs (with a lot of variety), within the limits of the tools the Spirograph provides.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirograph

Crop circles are usually made with boards (to flatten the crop), string and/or measuring tape (to make the circle geometric), and markers of some kind as well as a design (which in one of the videos I linked the crop circle makes said they sometimes change on the fly if an error is made in the initial layout).

Your assumption about me is seriously flawed and incorrect. It's only a hoax when people do it try and fool others (which some do) others do it for artistic reasons and do not hide the fact. I believe they are all man made and very possible -- People do bizarre things for strange reasons all the time.
