Well, someone has come up with another crackpot theory explaining the creation of crop circles... http://news.yahoo.com/photos/crop-circle-creation-theory-physics-not-aliens-1312238557-slideshow/#crsl= Whatever. At least this article has some cool pics accompanying it. (Too often, when I check out a news story on Yahoo, there is none.)

Some lovely pictures!!! Crop circles fascinates me. I do NOT believe they are formed by aliens. I know from living in the country that they are most likely not created by humans because there is no trail leading in to where the circles begin. I am now entertaining the idea that they are created by gnomes!!! I'm looking forward to living long enough to learn the answers!!!

Could be faeries, too.

OOOOOOOOOO...I like that idea better than gnomes!!! I watched the movie Hook over the weekend...the one with Robin Williams, Dustin Hoffman & Julia Roberts. Maybe Tinker Bell is just being mischievous!!! I really hope I live long enough to learn the secret!!!

Maybe the garden gnomes and the faeries are having a competition to see who can make the better crop circles and bamboozle more humans!

Just saw the movie Gnomeo and Juliet. . .I think that's how crop circles are formed--by garden gnomes riding around on lawnmowers!! Seriously, I would think all of these "miracle" crop circles are created the same way corn mazes are made--if people can design and then execute very complicated corn mazes every Halloween, which can only really be seen from an arial view, then why is it so hard to believe that people make the "alien" crop circles too??????

The garden gnome theory makes more sense than microwaves, anyway.

These are some interesting pictures. As for Crop circles, I think personally there is never an exact reason why some of these happen, and I know I have heard that there are ways people have been able to design them like this, but it can be quite interesting to see them, and wonder how they got there.

Yup, they are kinda neat looking, however they're made.

the gps caused somebody to drive in circles, thus causing the crop circle?

Sounds like a likely story...

Well I expect they only choose those particular spots to choose to chase their tails in because the aliens are sending down thought rays telling them to.

Hello, Friends here are a lot of theories based on "crop circles".Huge of crop circles was found in the North America,in the last decade.Many of the peoples assumes that these are because of the "Aliens".But scientist give a different theory that it is just a human work, but no one could gave any strong proof..

Artists with microwave emitting devices makes perfect sense. Such a device cqan be made or modified very easily. The science behind it is solid, targeting cornstalks with microwaves softens the stalk and allows the artist to bend it over smoothly. As for the other tools, gps devices enable them to do some very precise work. They can map out the design by gps points before hand, and when they arrive at the field, all they have to do to create the design is follow the pre-made gps map. Lasers are used to draw out precision, straight lines. The subject of the article makes perfect sense. Aliens....not so much :/

Crop circles are a mystery but I have trouble believing they are the work of aliens or physics for that matter. I am open minded but not gullible so nope, the aliens theory does not cur it. If you’re talking fairies or gnomes...Uhmm....Might buy that!

What its not a circle with the cauldron in the middle for the witches to dance around at midnight? Just kidding. I have only ever seen one of these. I was young too so don't remember much about it except that I was sleeping in the back of my mom and dad's car in Missouri and they woke me up to see it. Thanks for the article I love learning and anything I can gain knowledge on.
