These only affect non-living things. Sand on flat ground is easily moved around with very little energy. No advanced mathematical figures are found at Nazca, only long straight lines, pictures and geometric doodles. Obviously the aliens weren't as scientifically advanced then. Then why are the lines so perfect, and the straight lines so straight? The reason is quite simple: on their side of the blackboard the aliens used rulers. School kid's prank?
A number of commentators claim to have proven to their own satisfaction that the Ancient Egyptians didn't have the resources or technology to build the pyramids. Could it be that the pyramids of Egypt were built by alien kids, who, in a playful mood, pushed their play blocks into their blackboard, all the way through, coming up point first on our side?
Following this line of reasoning, perhaps Stonehenge and similar structures are the result of an alien children's game in which stone pegs are pushed into a geometric array of holes. Endnotes 1. If they came looking for intelligent life, they came to the wrong place. See: Catran, Jack.
Is there intelligent life on earth? Lidiraven books, His experiments showed that these rays could stimulate the early growth of other nearby plants. It's not unreasonable to suppose that they could also cause structural changes in mature cereal plants by weakening mature stalks. Euclidean geometry restricted itself to geometric constructions and proofs about figures that could be constructed using only an ungraduated straightedge and a compass.
A string and pins serves as well. Or a rope and stakes. Permission for reproduction and use of this entire document is granted for educational non-profit purposes only. Return to the top of this document. It became probably our most profitable quarter of an acre ever. To some, this supports the theory that crop circles are nothing more than a money-making enterprise between the hoaxers, farmers and photographers.
The process was explained to me as follows by circle maker Dene Hine: "Circle makers make a formation; drone pilot flies the formation; [they then use] social media platforms to spam all the pages with videos.
Social media is not just a marketplace for the crop circle business. It is a battleground for the toxic, parasitic relationship between the croppies and the hoaxers: conjoined twins who profess to hate one another yet feed on the other for their existence. To the sceptical mind, after all, there would be no crop circles without the hoaxers. Yet, without the mystique and intrigue generated by the croppies, it's hard to imagine the hoaxers would bother at all.
Nevertheless, barbs are exchanged, and not just virtually; more than one croppie told me they had been physically threatened by hoaxers and photographers. It's been hijacked by ego. There is much that remains enigmatic about crop circles, even to farmers like Carson, who has tired of the whole thing and now deters visitors by cutting out any formations as soon as they appear.
He spoke of watches stopping inside circles and recording equipment inexplicably failing during a visit from the BBC's Newsround in He has allowed companies including Nissan to build corporate crop circles in his fields for use in advertising, but claims that just a basic design took professionals 12 hours of daylight to produce, in contrast to the suggestion that hoaxers produce circles quickly in the dead of night. That would take hours and hours to do by hand.
What, then, to make of crop circles? Are they the work of human hands, driven by some emergent cosmic subconsciousness; aliens; hoaxers? Does it matter? You're standing in it. Hidden Britain is a BBC Travel series that uncovers the most wonderful and curious of what Britain has to offer, by exploring quirky customs, feasting on unusual foods and unearthing mysteries from the past and present.

Faked photographs of UFOs, Loch Ness monsters and ghosts generally fall under the heading of ostension. Another example is the series of photographs of fairies taken by Elsie Wright and Frances Griffiths at Cottingley, Yorkshire, between and These show that the motive for producing such evidence may come from belief, rather than from any wish to mislead or play pranks. One of the girls insisted till her dying day that she really had seen fairies—the manufactured pictures were a memento of her real experience.
And the photos were taken as genuine by such luminaries as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle—the great exponent, in his Sherlock Holmes stories, of logic. The desire to promote evidence of anomalous and paranormal events as genuine springs from deep human longings.
But the human soul longs for enchantment. Such people are perfectly placed to accept hoaxed evidence of unexplained powers and entities as real. The croppies do, however, accept that some people, some of the time, are making some of the formations. And therein lies the twist in the story. In croppy culture, common parlance is turned on its head.
