Crop circles do fascinate me. Plenty of them are hoaxes. Most are really not explainable. The real key is in how the plants lay down. Secondary is the complexity, though when the two are put together, some of these things are just baffling.

Within the realm of possibilities here I see some very intelligent and creative person designing a small tractor like machine with an implement that would lay down the crop to create this effect. The controls for this tractor would be computer and/or precision GPS.

This is not science fiction here. There are many agricultural implements out there now for doing real work such as GPS guided full size tractors and combines. There are so may technological advances in farming it is truly unbelievable. When we bought a CaseIH tractor in 2005 this technology was there, where the salesman said a farmer could cultivate a field from his home using a computer and GPS guided tractor. The salesman could have been BS’ing me in part, but that company did sell GPS guided devices for controlling Case tractors for precision work.

Ditto all those cattle mutilations from back in the 70s.
No one ever came forward with an explanation.

Do you believe that professional wrestling is real too?

*** The real key is in how the plants lay down.***

No problem. We did the same in 1956 with alfalfa fields in Farmington NM.

And in Arkansas, a common storm can blow down a whole field of corn without breaking a stalk. It just leans them over.

Things like this are so common many people simply cannot believe it and have to come up with really weird ideas.
