First browsing

Hidy ho Dees!

That was fun, our first action to browse for information about crop circles and sightseeing trips! I was especially charmed by the Hello Kitty crop circle we found on the Circlemakers website :-). Also, what struck me was that even crop circle believers (no offence!) clearly admit that 80 to 90% of crop circles are made by humans. The problem for me is that these people seem to automatically assume that the remaining crop circles have other origins than humans. I’d like to assume that of the remaining crop circles, we cannot know for sure that they were made by humans. But we can also not know for sure that they were not made by humans… I wonder whether there are any crop circles that are certainly not made by humans, I think we can never say for sure that no humans were involved in makin them. How would we ever know that?! I do agree with the crop circle believers however, that the 10 – 20% of the crop circles that were not accounted for by human creators are the most interesting circles to focus on!

I’ve also been thinking about the YouTube video we watched including a recording of a couple of lights that seem to be making a crop circle. One thing that was explained in the video is that most recordings of crop circle creations by entities of light show the strange phenomenon that the lights do not follow the laws of perspective, they do not become smaller when farther away or larger when closer to the observer/camera. I cannot help but thinking that this might be just a suggestion of poor video editing skills…. I have to say that most of the eyewitness stories don’t seem very convincing. I think I would be able to write a fictitions eyewitness report that is more convincing than the ones I have been reading so far!

But, I have to be fair here, this was the first time I seriously read some websites about crop circles, so I really need to dive deeper into all perspectives on the matter to form a solid opinion. I really think we should be saving up to make that helicopter ride to see the crop circles from above, there are some truly spectacular examples I’d really like to see. I think I am going to save all of the pictures of really beatiful circles and post my favourite one each time I write on this blog!

Talk to you soon!
Cheers, Karin

P.S. I was thinking, maybe we should organise a bi-weekly tea-party to brainstorm about our trip and our findings, what do you think?
