Mayan 'apocalypse' crop circle appears at Silbury Hill...

A 350ft crop circle of an ancient Mayan symbol, said to be a sign of an impending apocalypse, has appeared next to Silbury Hill in Wiltshire. The giant pattern - thought to represent a traditional Mayan head-dress - appeared next to the tallest prehistoric man-made mound in Europe last week. Members of the crop circle community believe the mystic symbol is a signal of the end of the 5,126-year Mayan 'Long Count' calendar on December 21, 2012 Karen Alexander, a crop circle enthusiast, said: "This is one of the most interesting crop circles I have ever seen. It is definitely a Mayan symbol and we are sure it is linked to the Mayan calendar, which ends in 2012. "It appears to be a warning about the world coming to an end when the calendar does. For the ancient Maya, reaching the end of a cycle was a momentous event, so we are taking this crop circle very seriously as an indicator of a possibly huge event in 2012." Last month a 400-foot crop circle depicting a phoenix rising from the flames appeared in a barley field in Yatesbury near Devizes, Wiltshire. Crop circle theorists believe the patterns are created by UFOs during nocturnal visits, or caused by natural phenomena such as unusual forms of lightning striking the earth.

Monster Quest. That show puts me to sleep. I keep trying to watch it, but it takes repeated viewings to make it all the way to the end. Something about it just zonks me out.

Now I am waiting for the return of Destination Truth. The guy that does that one is such a clown, that I enjoy the show for some laughs...

I like that show too. But you know when they give you a budget to go out and catch Big Foot, then do it. can’t be that hard to find a giant apeman in the woods. They just ain’t trying hard enough. Ditto for Thylacines.

parsy, who hears of a indigenous kangaroo population in America. (really)

What about a corn maze. Isn’t that the same thing?

Ehhh, you spent too much time explaining how you know this. I'll bet you've got fifteen bookshelves full of UFO stuff and DVR Ghost Hunter...

Seriously, I read a couple of web sites on this stuff, and the thing I find most interesting about it is that the crop circles show up in a bunch of different places all over the world, and the techniques seem similar. I don't believe the UFO stuff, but it's got to be a pretty tight group to keep it a secret this long. The Bigfoot in a freezer guys only lasted a week.

And no one ever catches them in the act. None of the participants ever rats out the prank. I won’t even say how ridiculous it is to think a design like that could be made with “They have their various assignments, probably some premeasured patterns, measuring devices (yardsticks, string on stakes, etc)” in the dark. Or even in broad daylight.

I don't see the Phoenix, I don't see the flames.

I see life waiting to break out of it's cocoon.

Not always.

I don't have an explanation but that doesn't mean I have to come up with one even more ridiculous than UFOs. I do know that couldn't be done the way you describe it with 100 people.

That is even more far fetched than the idea that the WTC buildings could be wired with explosives without anyone seeing it being done. Seriously.

The mystery is why do people go to such extreme lengths to make these things. And how do they do it in one night?

Good question.

Here is one that happened over 3 nights.

Nobody watched the field after the first or second nights?

I don't know. Have there been crop circles that were added to, before?

I always thought they were a one night phenomena.
