Flat Earther?

On the other hand, I do believe there are truly deluded people who, sadly, do believe crop circles are alien communication ideograms stamped out in agricultural products at night.

In my day, they were just dudes doing brodies in their crap-box Chevy Tahoe out in a farmers field. The alien thing was a quick excuse for the circles left in a guy's field. It didn't explain the beer cans and other detritus left behind so I don't know how it caught on. Now if someone could explain cattle and wild horses dyed pink around where I grew up.......

People in the US go to school from a young age and are taught the world is a globe. We all believe. One morning some of us get outta bed and decide maybe the Earth isn't a globe? Perhaps they've never really given it much thought. Maybe their schooling never encouraged the critical thinking necessary to determine for themselves?

Or, they never had a globe, only a Mercator Projection map on their wall. Subsequently, they believe Greenland is larger than the continental U.S.

It would be funny if there were no grand design to communicate through symbology.

Maybe it is just alien adolescents out joy-riding. 

It turns out their xenobiology lets them get high off cow farts like cats get high off catnip.  When the adult aliens aren't watching they sneak down to the rural surface spot at night and snatch some cattle.  Hover around in the dark and stick their tenacles up the cows kazoo and snort.

Eventually, as youngsters will do, one will say, "Hey...ggigle, watch this..." and zooms down over a fields and stamps out a circle in the middle of a field to freak out the surface monkeys.  Like trenching a yard. 

They crack up a while and another says, "Hold my cow..."  and drops down and stamps out a more complicated one.  "Let them grok on that a while. Lolz!"

That's how it starts.  Sure all in good fun.

Kids.

I wonder if Flat-Earthers believe in curved space\time?   

once they posted that they have chapters all around the globe.

Ha!

That's proof the whole thing is a troll.

No one is that stupid.

Now if that was Flat-Earther humor, that's pretty good.  <golf-clap/>

They are actually quite elaborate and still happen quite often. I'm still waiting on the "crop hunters" show where they catch these drunkards making these in one night. Which would take some athletic ability given they couldn't use loud equipment with their precision.  Then you have stone hedge near by which is also quite mysterious. I'm sure Trips writes that's off too as just another human feat we still can't figure out how they would have done it today.... but yes, the cattle mutilations are also puzzling and are in the interesting phenomenon books.

Yeah there have been videos of people showing how they do it kicking around for decades.

Including a guy that admitted to hoaxing one of the big ones he "found".  Admitting on video.

Note how all those shapes can be drawn with a simple compass on paper. 

In the field you use ropes and pivot stakes. 

Occam's razor.  You have the technology to travel billions of miles through space, but all you can come up with for communication with a new civilization is stomping around in their food crops?

Not a radio signal?

If you're TRYING to communicate, why at night in isolated settings?
Why not hover over the field in the middle of the Super Bowl and burn your symbology onto the grass on to the field on national TV?

I still enjoyed the movie Signs. Even though the premise was pretty stupid. May have to watch it again soon.

And there is definitely some weird unexplained UAP stuff.

I just see nothing I find slightly convincing about crop circles.

For Stonehenge?

I meant that about Stonehenge. However go ahead and find me a video of  local farmers catching a couple of kids in the act making one? Why do we never have those with all this technology today?

The US Navy videos were interesting. I've also heard from some first and second hand of sightings they couldn't and I can't explain. I don't disbelieve but don't believe either.

[CptTrips]

For Stonehenge?

Let's not throw up a defensive squid ink cloud.  Whadda bout Big foot?  Whaddabout Lochness Moster??? Huh???

Let stick with one thing until we are done.  Let's stay with crop circles until we reach consensus.

Why would aliens with advanced tech choose to communicate by stomping on our food?

Why at night when no one can see them?

Why only In sparsely populated areas where no one will see them.

Why not on the Super Bowl field on National TV?

However go ahead and find me a video of  local farmers catching a couple of kids in the act making one?

Would you believe it anymore than the one where the guy flat out admitting on camera he did the one he reported and that was a big deal fora while in the press?

I find it harder to believe that a couple of drunks, would drive to a farm in the middle of no where, walk thru the field 200 yards and then use ropes and boards in the dead of night for 5 hours, that takes a lot of physical ability and you cant be drinking beers. Then make a perfect 500+ yard design that is mathematically geometric in shape and perfectly cut at night with no sounds and no one seeing you. For no recognition at all, for no contest at all. It seems rather a waste of time to continue making them, but alas, they are still made.

Stonehenge may be a connection to crop circles since they are in the general area of Stonehenge is what I meant. Which is also an unanswered phenomenon.
