      Before knowing they were in the studio, he said cottaging. Is harming horses worse than cottaging as an insult?

    I'd like to see these three guys recreate the giant Milk Hill crop circle formation from 2001, which contained a total of 410 crop circles and appeared suddenly overnight. Do the math; it there are 410 circle in the formation, and there are 480 minutes of nighttime darkness ( 60 minutes times 8 hours ), then that works out to about one circle made every 70 seconds! And that includes time to survey the land and logistical planning, all while working in total darkness.

      Do you honestly think they did the planning and logistics on the same night!!! This would have been planned out by a group of at least 10 folk weeks in advance.
      It's far easier for a group of humans to enter a field for the night unnoticed than it is for some alien space craft.

    Yes youre saying that but i see no proof. Even the most complex ones are easy to design and possible do by a group of people. Some of the known manmade ones (like the ones by the circlemakers) dont have broken stalks, just bent even spiral. There are also examples of the complex ones being done over more than one night. Like this one, often being one of the examples of the "too complex for humans to do" circles. abovetopsecret . com/forum/thread478354/pg1

    @dragonforks93 ya it is possible someone has good tech but it is also quite possible its aliens? i mean why not? they found encrypted messages in some of them but i suspect it is some human activity like graffiti on walls but the smart human version. if its not that then its aliens hahahah

    @WonderlandPirate I would not have troubled myself to respond at all if not for responding to a more recent comment on this thread. Proof? Debate? If i bottled ET and mailed him off to you be FED EX you'd demand a DNA check from an independant laboratory. lol

    @mattyofWBB haha well the jokes on you.. I'v read through this page before, its a terrible attempt at a debunk. The real circle makers are farrr more sophisticated then these guys.

    @Sambolicious Condesending answers reflect badly on you. A simple Google or RUclips search would be fine, too, but clearly too much for you. Let me know if ET gives you a call...lol
