Crop Circles: Alien Communications, Enlightened Spirit Messages, Or Thoughtless Human Vandalism?

[billm...@comcast.net]

While lately I’ve been spending a great deal more time working on and publishing my art, I have managed to get some article writing in, as well. Inspired by an e-mail group discussion, in which I participated, I started collecting my thoughts on the topic of the origins of Crop Circles and their purpose. Among other aspects of this topic, we also discussed the consequences of Crop Circles from the farmers’ perspective. Drawn from this cyber chat, I expanded upon my deductions and speculations, and the following two page article emerged.

 

Crop Circles: Alien Communications, Enlightened Spirit Messages, or Thoughtless Human Vandalism?

 

It has an incredibly long web address. Consequently I had to create a TinyURL for it, and so this article can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/myztqe

Among the topic points discussed within this article you will find:

 

Who or what might be behind these formations?

 

(I listed some of the most prevalent “theories”, then expanded upon these ideas throughout the remainder of the article.)

 

What are the Consequences? (Much of the crop is destroyed and can not be harvested.)

 

Why Would Enlightened Beings be so Mean? (To the farmers in particular)

 

Art, but Misguided Art Nonetheless (Are Crop Circles the graffiti of the fields?)

 

Some Farmers Have Cashed In (Can we blame them? Their crops are being damaged. They have to recoup their losses somehow.)

 

Farmers Who Stand on Their Principles Become Victims

 

(When I read about the plight of Bill and Sally Ann Spence, owners of Berry Croft Farm near Ashbury, whose farm was overrun with unwelcomed visitors, further trampling their fields and damaging their crops even more, I started really thinking about the ramifications of the hardship visited upon them, by the makers of the so-called Jellyfish crop circle, which they estimate has cost them at least 600 pound notes from the ruined parts of the crop they can not harvest. As curious people thoughtlessly trample their crops even more this cost undoubtedly escalates. This is the kind of thing that could actually drive these farmers out of business, ruining them financially. Is that what the makers of crop circles are trying to do?)

 

The article is designed to accept comments at the bottom, so if you’d like, feel free to leave a comment. If you think of any additional theories to add to the list of who or what might be behind these formations, be sure to put that in a comment and add to the on-going on-line discussion.

 

Enjoy,
