Brief introduction of crop circles

Crop circles, in wheat fields full of wheat, appeared overnight. Some wheat bends and falls in a regular circular pattern. Since17th century, the debate about the origin of crop circles has been endless.

Edit this argument

There are five theories about man-made or natural phenomena.

The first report on crop circles can be traced back to 1647 in Britain. Since then, crop circles have been frequently found in the United States, Australia, Europe, South America, Asia and other places, most of which are in Britain. So far, there are about 250 crop circles around the world every year, and the patterns are different. Regrettably, for more than 350 years, there has been a controversy in the scientific community about how the strange circle was formed. At present, there are five main theories about the reasons.

The first is the magnetic field theory. Some experts believe that there is a magical moving force in the magnetic field, which can generate current and make crops lie flat on the ground. Jeffrey Wilson, an American expert, has studied more than 30 crop circles in/kloc-0, and found that 90% of crop circles are surrounded by transformers connected by high-voltage lines, and there is a pool within 270 meters of Fiona Fang. Due to irrigation, the ions released from the soil at the bottom of the wheat field will generate negative electricity, and the transformer connected to the high-voltage line will generate positive electricity. The collision between negative electricity and positive electricity will produce electromagnetic energy, which will knock down wheat and form a strange circle.

The second is the tornado theory. According to relevant records, crop circles appear most frequently in spring and summer. Some people think that the weather in summer is changeable and tornadoes are the main cause of crop circles. There are many crop circles on the hillside or six or seven kilometers away from the mountain, which are easy to form tornadoes.

The third is the theory of alien manufacturing. Many people think that crop circles are mostly formed overnight, which is probably the masterpiece of aliens.

The fourth is heresy. Some people think that there is a mysterious force behind crop circles, just like the Bermuda Triangle. It is speculated that some people call crop circles "disaster prediction" to spread heresy.

The fifth and more common statement is the artificial theory. Quite a few people think that the so-called crop circles are just some people's pranks. After 17 years of investigation, British scientist Andrew believes that 80% of crop circles are man-made.

Five characteristics of crop circles

However, the high percentage of data did not resist people's curiosity about the mysterious circle. The reporter found in the online forum that even though scientists have confirmed that most beautiful patterns are artificial, there are still posters who prefer to believe that the strange circle originated from some kind of extraterrestrial civilization. Why can't scientists convince people? What makes it more difficult to crack the strange circle? Professor Guo Zhengyi, a researcher at China Institute of Popular Science, told the reporter that most crop circles appear in barley and wheat fields, and all crop circles have at least five characteristics, which creates suspense for cracking crop circles.

First of all, so far scientists have no physical evidence to prove that crop circles are artificially constructed. Including no traces left by machines, no holes in the ground, no interference with surrounding crops, and most importantly, no footprints.

Secondly, scientists found that all the complicated weaving patterns in wheat fields were not caused by weight or strength, and the stems of crops were just flattened, with few broken marks.

Thirdly, people can't believe that humans can design complex patterns perfectly according to geometric principles. According to the data, the patterns of crop circles are different, and gradually evolved from one circle to two or three similar circles. 1994 also contains animal and plant patterns such as scorpions, bees and flowers.

Fourth, crop circles are surprisingly large. Believers say that it is impossible for human beings to create such a large pattern in such a short time, and some of them are as big as eight stadiums and appear mysteriously overnight. On June 28th, at least 12 crop circles appeared overnight on a farm in Solano County, California, USA, with a total area as big as a football field.

Another important feature is that, according to researchers, thousands of circles formed around the world have never been seen on the spot.

Crop circles

After investigation, it is found that most of them are pranks of some people, but people who are keen on it are still very curious about it. However, not long after, two patterns were found in the wheat field near Chilborn Observatory in Hampshire, England. One of them was a face, which many people said was very similar to the image of aliens in movies and TV. The other is the correction mode of Arecibo information emitted from 10 to the spherical nebula M 1974+0 13 in October.

Crop circles frequently make the front page news, and it is these characteristics that make crop circles a seaside city. If it is man-made, how to explain these phenomena? The number 6 is the man-made detail of crop circles told by leading experts.

Professor Guo has been paying attention to the research progress of crop circles abroad. He thinks crop circles are masterpieces made by some artists under the cover of darkness. The shapes these people usually choose to make are not the result of the latest computer drawing software, but the designs they like and drafted earlier in the day.

The secret tools of these artists are not complicated instruments as expected, but simple ropes, boards and rulers used by surveyors. The helicopter infrared camera once photographed the production process of crop circles, and Professor Guo described the process to reporters.

"The manufacturer entered the wheat field with tools. Do you remember the first feature of crop circles? (No physical evidence), that's not an absolute fact. If you look carefully, you will find footprints. Usually, the underground is very hard. If you follow the track, you will leave a few footprints. The manufacturer will say that it is caused by the follow-up tourists and can always justify it.

The road to the wheat field is a path among the crops. These paths are field paths used by farmers to transport, fertilize and harvest. When the manufacturer reaches the predetermined position in the wheat field, one of them stands at the center point, and the other begins to draw the first circle, without nailing any marks on the ground, because there will be no traces left.

When the first lap is completed, a pile of wheat will not be flattened, but will be regarded as the central point, and all subsequent measurements will be based on this position. Afraid of being heard, they contacted by secret code. At this point, manufacturers began to flatten crops with homemade boards and make curved patterns.

Wood boards vary in size, and each board has holes at both ends for the rope to pass through. Each team member pulled the rope and ran forward, where the wheat was flattened and the shape of the wheat field changed quietly with the design shape.

The size of this board creates a complicated weaving pattern. However, are all crop circles made according to geometric principles? (secret geometry)

Professor Guo said that those artists admit that they are not interested in making simple geometric patterns, and the key is Fram lines. 6 is an important number in geometry. In the exploration, it is not difficult to find a detail. The diameter of all circles in the main shape can be divided by 6. This algorithm proves why crop circles always form symmetrical patterns.

Incredibly, why do these people create crop circles?

Professor Guo said: "For many years, those strange circle makers have been interested in extrasensory perception, and they have cooperated in a wide range of projects, including art and photography. They gradually changed from traditional artists to hidden artists and collaborated to create crop circles, because they believed that the beauty of crop circles was a performance art.

Because strange patterns often appear near their hometown, but there is no reasonable explanation for how to make them, they finally decided to see if manpower can do it. Not disappointed, they finished the design in a few hours, making sure that no criminal evidence was left.

As for the recent magnetic field theory, Professor Guo thinks it is not credible. "If it is not proved that crop circles are false, it does not mean that the magnetic field theory is established. There won't be enough magnetic energy to produce crop circles that big, and at the same time, the magnetic field can't make crop circles form geometric patterns regularly. Crop circles are the result of mysterious speculation and the pursuit of miracles. "

Data and history of crop circles

The earliest crop circles were discovered in 1647 in England. At that time, people didn't know what it was, so they made a sculpture in the crop circle. This sculpture is people's speculation about the cause of crop circles at that time, when crop circles were counterclockwise.

Crop circles often appear in spring and summer, all over the world, the United States, Australia, Europe, South America and Asia, everywhere. In fact, only two countries in the world have never seen crop circles: China and South Africa.

Since the early 1980s, more than 2,000 such circles have appeared in farmland all over the world, puzzling scientists and a large number of people who pretend to be experts in crop circles. At first, these circles were almost only found in Weedshire and Hampshire, but in recent years, they have also been found in many parts of Britain and more than a dozen countries such as Canada and Japan.

This circle is getting bigger and more complex, and gradually evolved into a geometric figure, which is called "hieroglyphics sent by aliens to the earth" by some British astrophysicists. For example, in May 1990, a circle with a diameter of 20 meters appeared in a wheat field in Ashton, Hampshire, England, and the wheat in the circle formed a clockwise spiral pattern. There are four other "satellite" circles with a diameter of 6 meters around, but the spiral in the circle is counterclockwise.

1991July 17, when a British helicopter pilot was flying over the wheat field under Barberis Castle near swinton, he suddenly found an equilateral triangle in the wheat field. There was a big bilateral circle in the triangle and a small circle at each corner.

On July 30th, 199 1, a strange fish pattern appeared in a farmland near Lockridge Town, Wade County. In the following month, seven other similar patterns appeared in the region.

However, what shocked the world most was the strange circle of farmland discovered in Barneys, alton, a small village in Weedy, England, on July 190. More than 10000 people visited this strange farmland circle, including many scientists. This huge figure is 120 meters long and consists of circles and claw-like drawings. Several astrophysicists expressed their feelings after visiting. They think that this strange circle is definitely not man-made, and it is probably information from outer space.

Scientists who have seen UFO photos believe that the spiral pattern of wheat falling to the ground is very similar to the pattern formed by UFO rolling.

199 1 On June 4th, 2000, six scientists, led by Mike Cali and David Morgenstein, waited at the command post on Morgan Peak near Dewey Seth Town, Weed County, England, staring at a row of TV screens, hoping to record a process that has never been recorded: the formation of crop circles.

Their expedition was equipped with high-tech night observation instruments, video recorders and directional microphones, with a total value of 654.38+ million pounds. Their "mast-type" TV camera is installed on the arm 2 1 meter long, which gives them a broad field of vision. They chose to scout this area because this area has already become the research object of other researchers who study crop circles. In just a few months, more than a dozen crop circles of different sizes have frequently appeared in this area, which has aroused the strong interest of researchers.

They waited for more than 20 days and saw nothing unusual on the screen. In the early morning of June 29, a dense fog landed directly above the wheat field being monitored by researchers. Although they can't see anything in the fog, they have been moving the camera.

At 6 o'clock in the morning, the fog began to dissipate, and two strange circles appeared in the wheat field. The six researchers were amazed and immediately ran down the mountain to observe carefully. They found that the wheat in the two circles was completely squashed and turned into a completely clockwise vortex shape. Although the straw was bent, it did not break, and the wheat outside the pen was not affected at all.

In order to prevent anyone from cheating, the detection team hid several ultra-sensitive motion detectors on the edge of the wheat field. Anything that passes through their infrared rays will trigger the alarm, but the alarm didn't go off all night. On the muddy ground of the wheat field, there are no footprints or other signs that can indicate that someone has entered the wheat field. The videotape and the audio tape didn't record any clues, and the two circles seemed to have unknown origins.

Pat delgado is a meteorologist and geologist. He began to study crop circles from 198 1. He believes that these circles are created by "some earth energy that cannot be explained by current science". It's like a recurring miracle in the Bermuda Triangle.

He recorded many "incredible events" that happened in the circle. He found that some normal electronic devices such as cameras and radios suddenly failed after entering the circle. He once recorded a few strange buzzes, which he described as "electronic sparrows".

1989 One summer day, delgado and six friends were sitting in the middle of a strange round farmland in a small town near Winchester, England. "Suddenly, I was completely helpless and was pushed out of the 6-meter circle by some mysterious force." He thinks that this force is probably related to the magnetic pole of the earth.

Since 1980s, Terrence Miden, editor of British Meteorological Journal and retired professor of physics, has studied more than 1000 crop circles and made statistics on more than 2,000 crop circles, hoping to find a scientific explanation. Now, he thinks he may have found the answer.

He thinks that the real crop circles are caused by rotating charged air. This air mass is called "plasma vortex" and is formed by slight atmospheric disturbance, such as the wind blowing over hills. "The wind rushed into the still air on the other side of the mountain and formed a spiral air column," he explained. "Then, air and electricity are sucked into this rotating airflow, forming a small whirlwind. When this vortex touches the ground, it will flatten crops and make spiral patterns appear on farmland. "

To support his argument, Milton collected many eyewitness reports about the creation of crop circles by eddies. For example:1990 May 17, in a wheat field in Hampton Town, Surrey, England, Gary Tomlinson, a farmer, and his wife Wei Liwen walked slowly along the path. Suddenly, a fog came from the mountain about 100 meters high. After a few seconds, they felt a powerful whirlwind pushing them from the side and above. It pressed them like the top of Mount Tai, making them creepy. Later, the whirlwind seemed to split into two strands, while the fog meandered away, leaving them standing in a 3-meter-wide crop circle.

However, Milton's argument may only explain those simple crop circles, but how to explain those complicated ones? A whirlwind will never blow out the key and the heart. 1991August 13 A huge heart-shaped pattern appeared in a remote wheat field in Cambridgeshire, England. There is also a saying that crop circles are the product of thinking. 199 1 One day in August, an engineer with a sixth sense and his wife were driving home from Oxford along the A34 highway. His wife said, "I really hope we can find a crop circle ourselves." No sooner had they left the mouth than they found a dumbbell-shaped farmland circle in the field near the roadside. However, no second example has been found so far. With the emergence of agricultural land strange circle phenomenon, a new cottage industry is emerging and in the ascendant. At present, nearly 20 books on this phenomenon have been published. In addition, people who are keen on crop circles can also buy videos, color photos, postcards and key chains that introduce these graphics. This flexible travel agency even set up some "farmland strange circle visiting groups" to wave to tourists.

However, from a scientific point of view, the phenomenon of agricultural land strange circle has not been satisfactorily explained so far. Like UFOs, this may be a problem that scientists have to overcome!

The emergence of new crop circles

Every year, thousands of crop circles are found in the world, most of which are in Britain. Experts believe that this is determined by the geographical characteristics of Britain. Therefore, a large number of researchers come to Britain to do research every summer. You know, thousands of people all over the world are trying to solve this natural mystery!

Mysterious circular patterns really appear in wheat fields all over the world; But who made them or how did they form? Nobody knows the answer yet.

In Britain, farmers can be traced back several generations, when simple circular patterns appeared in wheat fields. The mysterious circle patterns in these wheat fields were first reported by the British media in the early 1980s. In the 1990s, crop circles shocked people all over the world, because these mysterious circle patterns changed from simple figures to beautiful patterns with huge area, profound geometry and complexity! Crop circles are a global phenomenon, and a surprising number of new patterns appear everywhere every year. In short, the eyes of the world are focused on the southern part of England, where the largest number of people appear, and also on the vicinity of ancient civilization sites, such as Stonehenge, Avebury (a village in Wiltshire, England, with Neolithic sites such as spherical chalk pit walls nearby) and Silbury Mountain (the largest prehistoric man-made mountain in Europe).

Although these mysterious circle patterns have been made or appeared in various ways for a long time, there is still no strong and complete explanation. How did these circle patterns appear? However, more convincing evidence is: several real videos taken when mysterious circle patterns appear in the wheat field. The picture shows several mysterious little balls of light or white light in the wheat field! Many of these mysterious light balls appear in many videos; At the same time, it also appears in some videos with clear pictures taken during the day. These mysterious light balls obviously show regular direction and intelligent moving mode. Can this allow us to associate the mysterious ball of light with crop circles?

Plant samples from wheat fields are also used in scientific experiments. This work was done by American biologist Dr. William Livinggood. He pointed out that similar microwave energy effect may be one of the reasons for the formation of crop circles. Investigators in the mysterious circle of wheat fields need to use more creativity and imagination in their investigation and research work. Some researchers use meditation, light and music to test patterns, and crop circles seem to be related to human brain waves. These models clearly let us know that we live in a world beyond our imagination and complexity.

From April to August every year, mysterious circular patterns appear in the wheat fields in Britain. Express and share this fascinating and mysterious phenomenon in a friendly way.

Crop circles have once again become a hot topic because of a recent popular American movie, Warning Signs. Since 1980s, grotesque crop circles have appeared all over the world. It is said that crop circles peak from summer to autumn every year. At present, it is estimated that thousands of mysterious crop circle symbols have appeared in many parts of the world, such as the United States, Japan, New Zealand, Canada, France and the Netherlands.

The pattern of crop circles is complex and abstruse. From the beginning, there are only a few circles criss-crossing, and sometimes there are cobwebs, sometimes there are long-tailed scorpions with a length of 180 meters, flowers with a diameter of more than 100 meters, and even a big car, geometric patterns, cosmic galaxy maps, ancient Chinese characters and even hepatitis bacteria patterns. This is quite puzzling. The strangest thing is that the patterns of crop circles are all symmetrical to each other, which makes people question who has such a large measuring equipment and can make crop circles as big as several stadiums overnight.

At present, there are several crop circles reported every year in Europe, mostly near some ancient ruins and ancient tombs such as the famous British stone pillars. Is it possible that crop circles also have hobbies? It is puzzling that crop circles often appear from late at night to four o'clock in the morning when wheat is ripe. Many scientists carefully observed the wheat in crop circles and found that they were very layered. They began to bend and fell about half to two inches from the ground. In addition, there is no trace of wheat being broken, but there are abnormal changes in the growth direction of plants and some chemical changes in the stems. To farmers' delight, the crushed wheat can grow horizontally, and the yield will increase by 40%.

The conjecture of crop circles

It is said that many places where crop circles appear will also have UFOs. Therefore, some people think that crop circles are the imprint of intelligent life outside the earth, and hope that human beings on the earth will digest these messages with the same high wisdom; Others think that people with strange powers on earth want to communicate with outer space through crop circles. In fact, all kinds of scientists have tried to explain the formation of mysterious crop circles: meteorologists estimate that it may be caused by cyclones or lightning, geographers say it is caused by some kind of magnetic field under the stratum, and some even think it is a man-made prank, but all these explanations are unconvincing.

Some people say that the rolling fields in England are the most magical places, because there are many puzzling phenomena here: the most famous is the mysterious "crop circles".

It is said that the earliest crop circles were discovered in 1647 in England. The wheat fields that were originally brushed together turned into a huge geometric picture overnight. Because the "strange circle" was mostly formed overnight, and the area was very large, at first many people thought it was a masterpiece of aliens and a way for them to contact the residents on earth. At present, around the world, there are about 250 strange circles with different patterns every year, especially in southern England.

The frequent occurrence of crop circles has also attracted more and more curious hunters. Greg Presley is one of them. He thinks crop circles are mostly man-made.

Greg Presley, crop circle researcher: "I first walked into crop circles in 1990. I like mysterious things. I just said, "well, I'll solve this problem. "In my opinion, 95% of crop circles are man-made."

Some young people don't hide their behavior of creating crop circles. Matthew is one of them. He called their crop circles "creative works of art".

Matthew, the maker of crop circles: "This is a creative art". Because when people see crop circles, they will say that it is a masterpiece of aliens, and we find it very interesting. Different creative teams also compete with each other to see who has the best design and can create the most sensational effect. "

However, Matthew said that there is also a problem in creating crop circles, that is, not all farmers are willing to turn their wheat fields into "canvases" manipulated by artists at will.

Presley, a crop circle researcher, believes that although not all similar phenomena can be explained by human resources, researchers do not agree that some people describe crop circles and other wonderful phenomena as "disaster warnings" to spread heresy. They believe that neither man-made "artistic creation" nor the contact information of aliens has anything to do with the disaster.

There is a crop circle research center in Britain with more than 1000 members. The current chairman is Mike, a former antiquities inspector of the British Heritage Foundation. Green. He said: "It seems that the people who make these circles must be very intelligent. Maybe it is trying to communicate with us with these strange graphics. Maybe humans should reach out and touch them. They are very similar to UFOs. "
