"The issue is that
no man-made crop circle has satisfactorily replicated the features
associated with the real phenomenon which has baffled scientists and
researchers.Worldwide, some 4000 crop circles have been created by a
force totally at odds with modern science. Central to the hoax angle is
that a

circles celebrated
twenty five years of age this year. This
little known fact will come as a surprise to most people. It will also
be somewhat of
a revelation to many that when this phenomenon began on that fateful
night in Warminster, England, it was in very modest terms in the form of
a simple, elegant circle of pressed wheat some 30 ft in diameter. Two
and a half decades and some 9000 formations later, crop circles have
grown into complex mathematical fractals, in lengths up to three
quarters of a mile, in area coverage as large as 36,000 square ft, and
in geographic location. Crop circles- or agriglyphs- can now be found in
most countries around the globe. -- Freddy

physical object is required to flatten the crop to the ground,
resulting in the
breaking of the plant stems. In genuine formations
the stems are not broken but bent (left), normally about an inch off the
ground at the plant's first node. The plants are subjected to a short
and intense burst of heat which softens the stems to drop just above the
ground at 90ª, where they reharden into their new and very permanent
position without damaging the plants. Plant biologists are baffled by
this phenomenon and farmers, who know how the land ticks, are baffled by
this. It is the singlemost method of identifying the real phenomenon.
Research and laboratory tests suggest that microwave or ultrasound may
be the only method capable of producing such an effect." -Freddie Silva, Crop
