Crop Circles

ROOSTA · 25-06-2006, 11:07 PM

Well I was very bored and did a quick search on crop circles.. I dont know why they interest me so much.. must be due to their mysterious possibly real possibly not real..

Any others out there find them interesting..

And a few pics of some of the better ones i have found..

Cheers,
Nik

wow. yeah they are amazing...

but if you ever watched TV, a green VY commodore SS is the cause of this phenomenon :nutsycuck:

ROOSTA · 25-06-2006, 11:13 PM

LOL..Well i which i could believe that HLC.. And being a commodore why isnt it broken down in the middle??

Lol

Cheers,

man if they are done by ppl, that alone is pritty amazing. I say that because of how hard it would be to get the crop circle so exact and semetircal in some. Good effort i say.

ROOSTA · 25-06-2006, 11:18 PM

LOL..Yeah pretty good effort for a pack of country hicks with a tape measure, rope and a mower.. LOL..

That is so '90's Nik. These days it's all GPS

ROOSTA · 25-06-2006, 11:23 PM

LOL..Yer i never thought of GPS.. That would work i guess..

If would take a few tanks of juice in the ol' lawn mower to get one of them done.

ROOSTA · 25-06-2006, 11:30 PM

yer.. and a fair bit off brew for the crew doing it all.. i just think for it to be completed in a single night there is something queer going on..

Cheers,

They are pretty cool.. always wondered if some of the patterns could be copied and made slightly smaller... Say, a normal house block lawn size

:

ROOSTA · 25-06-2006, 11:35 PM

LOL.. I had a crack at it when i was living on the farm wit my parents but i made tracks to and from the damn thing plus i didnt really mow it straight and stuff.. i always wanted to do some in the front lawn here and change it every few months sort of like a centre piece..

Cheers,
nik

fiery · 25-06-2006, 11:37 PM

Yeah that would be certainly different (the lawn thing).. But might freak the neighbours out too..
mmmmmmm having evil thoughts about how to scare my freaks of neighbours now

:

ROOSTA · 25-06-2006, 11:40 PM

LOL... yer we just had new neighbours move in.. they already started bout my dog.. i tried explaining he is completely harmless but something about purebred doberman scares people.. i guess he is much bigger than most dogs.. any ways i am rambling.. wat ideas have you got cos i dont like these newies..

Cheers,
Nik

ROOSTA · 26-06-2006, 12:21 AM

Well here is some more pic's.. prett awesome.. well i found a site where teams compete to make the biggest and best crop circles with out getting caught.. some of them even have sponsor ship.. like there was a massive hello kitty.. starbucks coffee.. windows logo.. LOL

Cheers,
Nik

qwigybo · 26-06-2006, 02:58 AM

that last one is awesome with the alien

Racecraft · 26-06-2006, 06:47 AM

there is a doco floating around where 3 or 4 students from Stanford or MIT were graded on replicating one in a night.. They used a crude cannon to spread the iron particles that are associated with the alien aspect of the circles.. They scored a 95% on the geometery of it.. Although it was a tad simpler than those pics, it proved to me just how easy it was to replicate one.. Bearing in mind this was their first attempt and they could no doubt do bigger and better ones now

If you want something of a similar vien that is 'unexplainable' to modern man.. Goggle "Nazca Lines"

Now they are an enigma, 2000 years old, absolutley huge in scale, and geometrically perfect

Is it just me or does that alien carved in the rock look like he's scratching his head?

Well, if you landed on Earth and had a look around at what goes on here what would else you do?

Burt is behind it all... That evil muppet

Leave as quick as possible and hope to try to wipe the memory of the place from your mind :alien2:

red_hotxr6 · 26-06-2006, 10:59 AM

All of those designs are brilliant, do you know how many people working at night time with torches and not being seen would take to do them.?

ON_DUBS · 26-06-2006, 11:05 AM

i was watching a program on discovery a few months ago that talked about the rock carvings.

an interesting point made about the carvings is that (of course) they are only visible from the air. So 2000 years ago who was in the air to view them?
It was also suggested that perhaps these cilvilizations may have been trying to communicate with something in the sky through these carvings.

but perhaps there was nothing in the air and they just thought that their gods could see them and not aliens, unless their gods were aliens that is..

Ive seen a few docos where they replicate the crop circles pretty well. I never knew what to think about it all tho.... it's probably one "mystery" im not in a big rush to debunk. The concept is cool isnt it?

C'mon admit it... you all wish there were aliens coming down to scare the hell out of us like that

**GasoLane** · 26-06-2006, 11:11 AM

It's bit like the line from the old Monty Python song...

'There must be intelligent life out there in the Universe, 'coz there's bugger all down here on Earth'

(It would seem that Eric Idle knew George Dubbya Bush was around!)

This is precisely what I was thinking..........

max · 26-06-2006, 02:57 PM

Can we move onto animal mutilations, abductions, and by the way, has anyone on AFF had a CE3? If so, pics please....

red_hotxr6 · 26-06-2006, 03:58 PM

How about nearly all the old tribes, african,incas red indians, the indians themselves telling of gods coming to earth and helping them one way or another and then leaving and going back to the sky.

well if there are aliens out there sending us sign s . i do not know who is stupider . us or them . because one . we still dont believe aliens are doing it . ( crop circles ) and 2 there are easier ways to prove they exist . like hijacking our tv stations and showing us . or landing on the middle of a world soccer game. surely that would be easier than manipulating millions of blades of grass in dessolate areas on earth from the otherside of the universe , to a civilisation who have trouble aiming staight at the toilet bowl.
