Crop Circles
Crop Circles are geometric patterns that appear mysteriously in crop fields. The crop is not cut, but is usually laid flat and most often swirled into an attractive floor pattern. Most patterns appear in cereal crops such as wheat and barley, but circles have been known to occur (in lesser numbers) in oilseed rape, maize, linseed, grass and even borage โ to name a few.
There are many theories about who or what makes the crop circles. Whirl-winds, earth energies, extraterrestrials and human hoaxers to name but a few. What makes the crop circle subject so fascinating is that anyone and everyone can take part in the search for answers. There has been some very interesting scientific work carried out on the crop and soils from the circles which should be investigated by all those with an interest in the phenomenon. Much the same goes for the ultimate meaning behind the designs, there has been some fascinating research into the geometry and mathematics of the crop circle designs and shapes, which suggest that the designs are not arbitrary or meaningless, but quite the opposite. People have connected the circles to subjects as diverse as star constellations and quantum physics to alchemy and spirituality. Some of the most fascinating research is concerned with shape and vibration (Cymatics) and the collective unconscious.

Yup, also the wheat in several circles have been reported to be standing vertically for several inches and then bent over at 90 degrees, whereas a simple plank would flatten the wheat at the very base of the stalk.
Thanks for posting the first post here on the community that wasn't made by me! Hope to see more activity here, tbh it's kinda strange how quiet people are about this subject. I mean even if someone thinks they're all made by people, at least we can agree on the fact that they are beautiful artistic designs, right? I would like to meet the artist capable of pulling off some of these, human or not ;)
PS would be cool if you could make another "Physical evidence" post about the metallic spheres found in the soil under some crop circles that drops off in concentration the further you get from the middle of the formation, or how almost all of the ones in southern England occur over chalk aquifers, or how some formations return the next year in the form of a "ghost" formation, where the wheat/barley has grown differently due to changes in the soil made during the creation of the circle in the previous year.
