Crop circles are unexplained geometric patterns that appear overnight in crop fields, usually containing cereal crops like wheat. They are found all over the world but are most common in southern England. The circles range in size and complexity, from simple circles to elaborate patterns hundreds of meters across. Scientific studies have found signs that extremely high temperatures or electromagnetic energy was involved in bending the crop, but no human cause has been verified and the origins remain a mystery. Some theories involve aliens, military tests, or natural plasma vortices, but the true explanation is still unknown.

1. The Mysterious C R O P C I R C L E S How Did They Get There ?

2. CROP CIRCLES : As improbable as fascinating. No logical explanation known to man. ALIENS ?? In several countries in the world, such as Canada, United States, Holland, France, England, cereal growers are faced with this strange phenomenon of geometric designs carved into their fields.

3. It takes only one night to complete it. These figures are drawn in the middle of the night, out of sight usually in fields of wheat and barley. Sometimes they are found in the grass, snow (Himalayas), or in fields of soybeans.

4. They appear in different shapes. These figures are perfectly symmetrical. They come in various forms: simple circles, squares, and can become increasingly complex.

5. Clearly visible from the sky. The size of the crop circles range from a few tens of meters to several hundred meters in diameter, offering an excellent view from the sky.

6. The summer of all excesses. The authors of these incredible sculptures operate in the summer, when wheat, cereal grains in general, are the tallest just before being harvested.

7. The British design. England is the country that wins the prize for crop circles. The southern part of the country, specifically in the area of the ancient stone circle temples of Avebury, where the largest number of these events occur.

8. When esoterics get involved! The region of the Stonehenge Heritage Site by UNESCO, is also rich in crops. More than 90% are there.

9. An undetermined origin. The location of these mysterious drawings was enough to start the wildest rumors about them. Their origin is extraterrestrial. That is sufficient to intrigue scientists around the world to conduct numerous studies about them.

10. A phenomenon that is not new. The crop circles are not of recent decades. The first evidence dates back to the 17 th century, 22 August 1678, in an article entitled "Satan mower or strange news out of Hartford-Shire”.

11. A number constantly increasing. After the Second World War, the phenomenon has taken more beautiful shapes and never ceases to grow.

12. Twisting stems of cereal grains. The first observations made of these field puzzles looked like this because the stems of cereal are in no way cut but twisted into a spiral, an angle of 90 ° C, in their first node.

13. No trace of human involvement. Another more thoughtful finding showed the absence of any evidence of markings that should have been left by an instrument to explain the implementation of these designs.

14. The time is too short. Third argument accentuating the mystery around agroglyphes: the very short time spent to achieve them. Less than one night! How is this possible?

15. Truth or just a hoax? In September 1991, two British artists, Doug Bower and Dave Chorley, confessed that 200 perfect crop circles Were a hoax. But even if they were able to make the very simple figures like circles in a night, it does not explain the more complex geometries and that there were no traces of human passage in the vicinity.

16. Light testimonials. The only evidence collected on the formation of agroglyphes mention a ball of light that comes and leaves quickly, leaving behind these geometric shapes.

17. Stigma of an extraterrestrial visit? Then the circles would be a sign of extraterrestrial life, and the drawings are the scars left by the flying saucers. It is difficult to conceive such a thing.

18. A sudden rise in temperature. Scientists testing some sites noted that the seed grains are altered and dehydrated due to a sudden rise in temperature. This is the same way when dead animals like birds or hedgehogs are found dried out.

19. Disturbing activity of the magnetic field. Another observation made by scientists: the presence of a strong magnetic field. Some people faint at the site or have severe headaches.

20. A handful of iron particles. Other researchers found iron microspheres in the soil of fields. They also recorded a particularly ionized air over them.

21. A burning vortex. Several scientific theories have been made to try to explain these creations. One of the first ones would be that of a plasma-vortex.

22. Devasting sound. Indeed, in 1989, the English meteorologist George Terence Meaden said that crop circles are due to sound vibrations.

23. Questionable military tests. Another theory talks about the testing of military weapons such as a cannon microwave. The agroglyphes serve as camouflaging the tests carried out in civilian areas.

24. Increase in microwave uses. Microwaves, at low frequency, are used to communicate with immersed submarines, but these waves are dangerous. Many whales run aground because they create interference in their echolocation.

25. Like a meteorite impact. This theory of generating microwaves is supported by the Belgian engineer, Luc Mampaey. Ionizing a layer would be created over a site, that would then have an effect comparable to that of a meteor crash.

26. A global craze. In 1992, Nancy Talbott and John Burke were interested in the possibility of American biophysicist William Levengood, who confirmed the instigation of microwaves in the implementation of crop circles.

27. High-voltage energy . The three partners reveal the presence of rare radioactive isotopes at the sites. Accordingly, the energy of these balls of light radiate microwaves that way in the cereal fields.

28. A controversial hypothesis. These energy balls were corroborated by the statements of witnesses who observed sudden bursts of lights. But this theory is undermined by Joe Nickell, a member of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry (CSI), a U.S. company responsible for providing scientific evidence of paranormal phenomena.

29. Math cartoons. Lucy Pringle, a photographer for 10 years specializing in artistic phenomena, discovered a figure representing the number Pi. Never seen before.

30. An astrophysicist pieces the mystery. The figure discovered by Lucy Pringle is over 45 meters in diameter and is located on a hill in Wiltshire England. A retired astrophysicist, Mike Reed, found that the famous number 3.14 was symbolized.

31. The scientific conclusion. To date, no scientific study worthy of its name can explain the appearance of the most complex agroglyphes. This leaves the field open to fans of science fiction and aliens. E N D
