How are crop circles formed?

Crop circles, also known as Dean's Crop Circles or Dean's Map, were discovered by accident, because the lodging of wheat fields is normal. Although it shows an increasing trend every year after discovery, no one can come to a convincing conclusion, so that its researchers Diego (electrical engineer) and Andrews (writer) in Britain even think it is a masterpiece of aliens!

Crop circles were found in 1975, 5 in the first year, 30 in 1 980 and 420 in 1990. The discovery has reached 7 counties in England, from the northern end of Scotland to the vast area of Cornwall Peninsula at the southern end of Great Britain. Its shape changed from a single circle to a three-ring shape and then to a dice shape, and later it added strange shapes such as arc, bow and triangle. Surprisingly, standing outside the circle, the crops fall counterclockwise, while standing inside the circle, the crops fall clockwise. Furthermore, in such a vast land, no matter how the shape and quantity of the strange circle change, there are no human traces outside the strange circle, which initially excludes the hypothesis of human production.

1On July 4, 986, a UFO appeared in Elsford, a small town in Wiltshire, causing a sensation. The next day, something even more bizarre happened-five concentric circles with a diameter of 4.8 kilometers appeared in the corn field outside the town! This incident prompted Digado and Andrews to start a long research (named Dean Circle to commemorate their research work).

Late at night on July 6 this year, they took binoculars, cameras, tape recorders and so on. Waiting quietly on the high slope of the nearby cornfield. After seven or eight days, nothing happened, but they didn't lose heart and kept waiting.

Many things happen. At 4 o'clock in the morning on the tenth day, it began to rain lightly, and a ray of dawn appeared in the east after the rain. At this time, they saw that in the corn field about 300 meters away from the hillside, corn stalks made a brushing sound and fell off one after another. In the blink of an eye, a huge circle was formed. In the circle, the corn stalks are pressed flat and supple, showing a beautiful and neat vortex shape. There is no lodging corn around the circle, just like a vertical wall of a big circle, guarding the big circle. Although all the stalks in the circle fell down, none of them were broken and still grew vigorously.

This strange circle in the corn field was magically formed under the noses of the two. But they can't see its maker, just like an invisible man. Later, when they tried to turn on the tape recorder, they only heard a strange beep.

1987 In the summer, the Deans heard the news and came to Wiltshire again. In the wheat field in the town of Childley, they carefully analyzed the strange circle that appeared here and found that it was composed of two concentric circles, with a short and straight channel shaped like an arrow, extending outward from the edge of the outer circle. The arrow is a hollowed-out bowl-shaped mud hole, but no matter how they look, they can't find the excavated soil.

Andrews had to dig out some soil from this "big hole bowl" and analyze it in the laboratory. The next morning, the alarm suddenly sounded in the laboratory, and the big pendulum clock on the wall stopped at 4: 00, 15. This happened every day for the next few weeks, which surprised Andrews: What happened? He didn't get peace until he took the soil out of the laboratory after the experiment. Andrews believes that there must be some kind of inductive substance in the soil, which causes alarm bells and pendulums to be disturbed. But where did this inductive substance come from? What effect does it have on the formation of crop circles?

Other researchers think crop circles are masterpieces of nature, but how did nature create this magical circle?

One view is that it was caused by a small tornado. Tornadoes roll up huge dust, and the dust rubs violently with the air under the action of wind to form electrostatic charge, which adheres to the wheat field below and forms a neat shape with tornadoes.

One view is that it is caused by the leakage of radiation from the earth's core, which not only makes plants lodging regularly, but also makes people and animals sick.

It is also said that it is caused by spherical lightning-Japanese scholars claim to have simulated the strange circle phenomenon in the laboratory. ...

In a word, although there are various explanations about crop circles, they are always unconvincing. Now people are still studying and discussing, trying to solve this magical phenomenon in nature as soon as possible.
