Persuasion?

Hi Dees!

Just a short message from a rather long meeting in Madrid… Glad you liked my crop circle post card! I found it at the airport and I really had to send it to you! What I enjoyed most about it, is that the crop circle was commissioned by Wakker Dier, so it’s a crop circle for a good cause!!

I must admit, I was a bit surprised by your post! Of course I am happy to read that you also find the skeptics’ reviews plausible, but I didn’t expect you to be convinced this soon! Interesting development… I am still curious to read convincing spiritual accounts of crop circles as well, so let me know if you find any! I hope that I have time to pick up Haselhoff’s book in the library this weekend (they do have it, according to their catalogue). Also, I am planning to dive into English literature on crop circles, there should be more information available, shedding light on both sides of the story.

Another thing I’d like to do is to find the tv broadcast about the Dutch guys making a crop circle in Flanders. For sure I would like to see how they fooled Belgian croppies, but I am even more interested to see how they made the crop circle!

I like what you say about the experience of creating a crop circle. I could do some user experience research into making crop circles (should try to find funding for that 😉 )! Perhaps making a crop circle does give some people a spiritual (or other kind of nice) experience, perhaps it is even an addictive experience! Which I think also relates to your question of we do not know the exact amount of crop circles that are man-made. I wouldn’t be surprised if some corp circle makers get pleasure from the fact that they are able to fool croppies into believing that some crop circles are not man-made… Also, an explanation might be that if people make crop circles for their own, personal (spiritual) experience, why would they want to make that public? They might be sued by angry farmers, for destroying part of their crop…

Family traditions of making crop circles, that’s a nice idea! It’s like Scottish (kilt) tartan patterns! Maybe someone did research into crop circle patterns…

Wow, still plenty to think about and to find more information about…

One final note… In my search for pictures of beautiful crop circles, I found this crop circle table… Weird thing! Can’t find more info on it, but I’m quite curious about its purpose. Maybe a practice tool for crop circle makers?

Adios!

P.S. You are right, all crop circles are real, good thinking!
