Crop Circles



             interest in crop circles. When confronted to provide evidence on certain claimed formations, Doug and Dave changed .
             their story, even reversing previous claims; or they simply could not explain unusual features found in the genuine .
             phenomenon. When they claimed making all the formations around the English county of Hampshire, for example, .
             it was pointed out that half the known formations had actually occurred in another county- "Er, no, we didn't do .
             those either," they replied. In the end, not even Doug and Dave knew which ones they had made. .
             The real issue is that no man-made crop circle has satisfactorily replicated the features associated with the real .
             phenomenon, and this has baffled scientists and researchers. Crop circles are created by a force seemingly at odds .
             with modern science. Central to the hoax argument is that a physical object is required to flatten the crop to the .
             ground, resulting in the breaking of the plant stems. In genuine formations the stems are not broken but bent, .
             normally about an inch off the ground and near the plant's first node. The plants appear to be subjected to a short .
             and intense burst of heat which softens the stems to drop just above the ground, where they rehired into their new .
             and very permanent position without damage. Plant biologists are baffled by this phenomenon, and farmers, who .
             know how the land ticks, have no explanation either. Research and laboratory tests suggest that microwaves or .
             infra sound may be the only method capable of producing such an effect. .
             So what is this 'unknown force' that creates genuine crop circles? One answer may lie with sound. There are a .
             number of accounts of a trilling sound heard by people prior to witnessing crop circles forming. The reports describe .
             a sudden stillness in the air, the morning birdsong superseded by a trilling sound and the banging together of wheat .
             heads despite an absence of wind. A whole section of crop then lays down in spiral fashion, the whole episode .
