Ok this season is frankly disappointing, what's with all these basic ass designs? I mean the center of this one looks nice and wavy, but I wish we could get at least one more stunning design like Milk Hill 2001 or something that actually makes you second guess if it's even possible for humans to pull off. It pains me to think that the genuine phenomenon may no longer be with us, and that the original creators have given up and moved on. Just on numbers alone, the past few years absolutely pale in comparison to the heyday of the phenomenon of the late '90's / early '00s. I mean just go to cropcirclecenter.com and scroll down to the statistics area, we're barely breaking 20-30 formations per season nowadays compared to the staggering 200-300+ formations per season back in the day. I think the saddest part of it all is that NO ONE GIVES A SHIT ANYMORE.
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.
