What do I think about crop circles? Hard to say. First I just thought it was all totally wacky. Then I looked into it a bit (probably around 2002). I wound up convinced that they were made by the military (see the ovnis link below). Then I saw Gazecki's awesome film (Crop Circles - Quest for Truth) and was convinced they were some kind of magical spiritual messages from a higher intelligence, then I saw some TV documentary that seemed to debunk them, then looked at circlemakers.org and was convinced they are all man-made hoaxes, then I wasn't so sure, then I read Pinchbeck's 2012 book and became even more unsure (his onsite investigations went back and forth and led to no particular conclusion). Currently, I'm really not so convinced about any explanation for crop circles, perhaps it is something beyond human understanding that we should be paying attention to and trying to figure out, perhaps it is a government psyop, or perhaps its all a bunch of mischievous circlemakers who have gotten very skilled with ropes and boards. I try not to get too involved in thinking about this anymore, but its still sometimes interesting. Anyway, here's some links and film info on the crop circle trip.

An extensive, interesting and important site, don't overlook it. These people seem to be claiming that all circles are man-made hoaxes, easily created with ropes and boards. They claim to have created many large, famous circles, have created many in public, and give detailed instructions. They have published a book, The Field Guide: The Art, History and Philosophy of Crop Circle Making. (amazon.com) (amazon.co.uk)

This page discusses possible military involvement in crop circle creation. For some reason, this logical and well-researched angle is rarely mentioned anywhere. No telling, but I have not yet seen any reason to rule this out, other than the fact that it is much more likely that all the circles are made by people on the ground. This is from a French book, UFOs - The Military Unmasked, presented in English on the web here: www.ovnis-armee.org/ufos_military_unmasked.htm
