please don't mention hoaxes. the two farmers with there 2 X 4 and a rope can't make these.

Many, many wonderful satellite locating gadgets exist. Lest we forget about good 'ol trigonometry.

I postulate that any group of high level math types with enough string and a varied assortment of wood planks could make these designs.

Lastly, in a word; art. It's just with a mathematical foundation - not unlike M.C. Escher

Think of the technology to propel them from light years away to here?

Once here all they do is hide from us and "tag" our planet like some subway graffitti artist? Ooops, there goes the intelligent part out the window!

Now, the stuff in Central and South America? You might be on to something. The pyramids in Egypt? You might be on to something.

Crop circles? I put that right next to alien anal probes, cattle mutilation, Bigfoot and Elvis still being alive.

no it has not. they make some simple patterns, and that is what has been proven.

no one has ever replicated something as complicated as these.

and they are not there one day and the next morning, there they are.

if they wanted to do damage they could put a crop circle on your hair.

Glenn Beck should be reporting on this... there may be a link

regardless whether you use a base 10 or a base 8, mathematics is a way of describing what something means.

we are not capable of doing this.

some background if you wan to follow up

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crop_circle 

In an 1880 publication of Nature that was republished in the January 2000 issue of the Journal of Meteorology.[9] an investigation by amateur scientist John Rand Capron was described:

"The storms about this part of Western Surrey have been lately local and violent, and the effects produced in some instances curious. Visiting a neighbour's farm on Wednesday evening (21st), we found a field of standing wheat considerably knocked about, not as an entirety, but in patches forming, as viewed from a distance, circular spots....I could not trace locally any circumstances accounting for the peculiar forms of the patches in the field, nor indicating whether it was wind or rain, or both combined, which had caused them, beyond the general evidence everywhere of heavy rainfall. They were suggestive to me of some cyclonic wind action,..."[10]

Your picture is taken right from that show.

Humans make 98.2% of them.

yep, saw a similar show, and some scientist did up a computer image of a complicated group of circles, and gave it to a group of circle makers. the dudes did it at night, in like 6 or 7 hrs, and it was exact. not 1 person outside of the circle jerk thought they could pull it off...........so to speak............
