The next question is

Why !?
Trying answer this question, I guess we have to dig into the storie of Crop Circle- When was the first time people heard of crop circle and where in the world was it ?

In NextNature it said

" The British media first reported on the circles in the early 1980s."
Is there earlier reports ?

Why do people dress up in monkey suits and plant fake giant footsteps in the forests? Because Bigfoot sightings bring tourists with dollars to economically blighted logging towns.

I remember reading an article about crop circles & farmers in Britain. One of the interesting points was that the farmers welcomed the crop circles (at least the more creative ones) because they would make far more income charging a pound or two admission to see the "magic crop circles" than they'd ever make off the crops that were damaged.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are many farmers who know who makes the circles & when.

I could ask similarly of you having looked at the thread...."Why?"

I'll post my favourite all the same...

1 @ Jimbuna- No must have missed that thread or forgot about it.

2. This is a long shot:

In 1977 Voyager 1 was send into the space- On this satellite there is a Golden disk. on one of the side-there is some drawings

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyage...000-001978.jpg

What if some aliens saw this picture and replied to us, by doing the same-make some drawing in some grain fields.

And we can't understand our own drawings-meaning, we have put a drawing of our own solar system on this golden disk, the aliens have learned by studying these drawings and have replied by doing the same.

Or

Some people have got the idea from these drawings(from the golden disk)and have made some circle in a grain field.

There after, other people thought this was funny and did the same.

Just a long shot.

Aliens that traveled multiple light years to reach the edge of our Solar System.
Aliens that managed to investigate Voyager well enough to read the disc, but not disturb it enough that we can still communicate with it.
Aliens that then traveled into our Solar System, reached our planet, and then repeatedly landed and mucked about in rural fields, all without being detected by any means.
Aliens that decided the best way to communicate with us was to mess with our crops, rather than locate a city and meet us, or transmit any sort of radio signal.

Or

A few kids having fun playing pranks/creating weird art.


Occam's razor.

^ As I wrote it's a long shot and don't you think they would have some kind of advanced camera system.

I my self are convinced it's human who's behind-I just keep every opportunity open.
