nacmacfeegle 0 #1 October 11, 2002 Okay, so we've messed with Erno's head over the fake moon landings thing. I think its time to talk about crop circles, seeing as how the "Signs" movies is upcoming..... Me? I think they are faked by people, but I do think they are kinda cool. For Us lucky Brits the local mag did a spread on a nice one near a DZ on Salisbury plain called Netheravon.... Here are some examples of what we are talking about...-------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

SkydiveMonkey 0 #3 October 11, 2002 What about on the BBC news ages ago - there was a big thing about "we've discovered how they're made" etc - the transmission was cut off and the story was never finished or heard again. I agree a lot of crop circles are faked, but there are a few that are too detailed to be man made. Plus some of them, the ground / plants are perfectly level. ____________________ Say no to subliminal messages Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smooth 0 #7 October 11, 2002 A beginners guide to making crop circles can be found here http://www.circlemakers.org/guide.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Meathorse 0 #8 October 11, 2002 Saw a show on TLC that featured some crop circle makers, then they showed how to do it step by step... and it was a very detailed, very large circle. Described how they came up with the design, how they went about making it, and then ... did it. Showed a time lapse video at the end from a camera set up on a crane... took about 5 hour to do. Aliens have better things to do than play in grain fields.... like probing inbred rednecks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
happythoughts 0 #9 October 11, 2002 "Aliens have better things to do than play in grain fields.... like probing inbred rednecks. " I think this is true. They fly thousands of miles across space. They spend months traveling and viewing the majestic vistas of space. They marvel at the panoramic wonders of the stars. Then they land in northern Florida and look up some hee-haw's butt. Makes sense to me. Maybe the crop circles are like the intergalactic equivalent of cow-tipping. Just alien kids at play. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't remember who the comedian was, but I saw one once who talked a good bit about interacting with aliens. His advice was to memorize the following phrase and say it promptly when you encounter an alien: "There is nothing in my ass that will save your dying planet."

They fly thousands of miles across space. (...) >Makes sense to me. This was well explained in one of Douglas Adams' books, don't have a copy handy but the as I recall Ford explained it something like this: (unsurprisingly, a copy of the book(Hitchhikers' guide to the galaxy) can be found on the Net, so this is an exact quote:) Quote "A teaser? Teasers are usually rich kids with nothing to do. They cruise around looking for planets which haven't made interstellar contact yet and buzz them." "Buzz them?" Arthur began to feel that Ford was enjoying making life difficult for him. "Yeah", said Ford, "they buzz them. They find some isolated spot with very few people around, then land right by some poor soul whom no one's ever going to believe and then strut up and down in front of him wearing silly antennae on their heads and making beep beep noises. Rather childish really." Ford leant back on the mattress with his hands behind his head and looked infuriatingly pleased with himself. Erno Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PLFXpert 0 #15 October 11, 2002 I liked the movie, Signs. For some reason I'm drawn to creepy, supernatural movies even though they scare the shit out of me. As for whether or not I believe in ET: I'd have to see it to believe it for sure. But, from a realistic perpective, as large as this universe is, I highly doubt we're the only intelligent beings here. If they abduct me, I just hope there's a Starbucks where they come from...otherwise, I'd be on the next UFO home. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kingbunky 3 #18 October 11, 2002 well, there's that, and the fact that any intelligent race would find it highly illogical to fling one's self (repeatedly) from seemingly functional aircraft, just fo fun.

Hey PLFXpert, have you seen the movie "The Others" with Nicole Kidmann? THAT'S a great film!

PLFXpert 0 #23 October 11, 2002 Yup, seen it. I swear, I get so freaked out, but I can't help but watch. When I'm channel surfing and they're doing an alien autopsy or talking about supernatural mysteries I ALWAYS end up watching for a little bit. It's scary. Ha ha ha. I believe in possibilites but I have to see something to believe it. People then ask, how I believe in God. The only answer I have to that, is as a little kid, I would be really scared b/c I was always left home alone for days at a time when my parents traveled on business. I'd pray for something and I'd get it immediately. To me, that's being able to see God so I believe. Anways...that was a little off the subject. Ha ha ha.

Yoshi 0 #24 October 11, 2002 When I was in high school a couple of friends and I went on a venture to make our own.. it never made the news or anything being how small it was (only about 200 feet in diameter) it was pretty complex though.. all you really need is a 2x4 some rope and a plan with a touch of patience.. we accomplished it in about 2.5 hours and I thought it was pretty cool.. we did it in corn too (I live in indiana) anyways I think that most of them could be accomplished by people....is there other life out there??? I think so...have they visited us and left signs but never confronted us??? maybe maybe not... I would definately like to take a tour of area 51, but my guess is it wont happen anytime soon:) -yoshi_________________________________________ this space for rent.

kingbunky 3 #25 October 11, 2002 i think area 51 is way to well known to be the actual place that the us gov't is storing/hiding alien evidence, if indeed there is any to hide/store. i think it's main function is to draw attention away from the actaul place they would put this stuff. but then again, maybe i watch too many conspiracy movies.
