Crop Circles Analysis

Crop circles have been discussed for a long time. Whether they’re made by man or some sort of alien species is unknown and, in some ways, hard to prove. In this paper, I’m going to talk about two articles. One talks about aliens making crop circles. The other is an interview with a man who is a crop circle maker. I am unsure what I believe as far as crop circles go. I think there’s a possibility though, for sure, that there could be aliens out there. I’m just not sure that if they were to try to communicate with or contact us, that they would go about doing that by forming “crop circles”. My first article is titled “Blonde ‘Aliens’ Seen at Crop Circle Sight”. This article is actually published in multiple places with its own spin on things.
In this particular article, “An off-duty police officer reportedly spotted three mysterious figures near a newly-made crop circle”. The police officer said, “The figures were all over six foot and had blonde hair”. He believes them to have been aliens. Apparently when the cop neared the “aliens”, he heard a sound “not dissimilar to static electricity”. When the cop yelled at the aliens they “ignored him, not glancing at him”. For some reason, the cop decided to “enter the field”. The aliens then “looked up” at him and “began running”. According to the police officer, the “aliens” disappeared very quickly. Apparently too fast to be done by a human. These events occurred on July sixth of 2009. The policeman was “left with a headache for the rest of the day”. The “Wiltshire Police have refused to comment on the "personal" matter as the officer was not on duty at the time”. My second article is an interview between Caryn Anscomb and John Lundberg.
John Lundberg is apparently a crop circle maker. “Lundber and his associates have created circles across the USA, New Zealand, Japan, Mexico and across continental Europe”. John said, he “first became aware of the circles like most of the UK population when there was an upsurge in media coverage here in the late 80s”. “It really was a revelation to me, seeing the disconnect between what we were doing – flattening cereal crop with planks of wood – and what our works audience was perceiving, which could be anything from physiological and psychological effects brought on by visiting the circles, to electronic equipment failures or malfunctions, alleged curative powers, or the inverse, reports of people feeling nauseous in our creations”. John enjoyed all of this “mythology and folklore that was built up around” their crop circle making. Lundberg has “worked on numerous projects for TV shows, movies, music videos, adverts and PR stunts”. When Caryn asked John, “The main argument by the pro-circle researchers is that the designs are far too complicated to have been created by human hand. How do you respond to that argument”? He replied with, “Look at the Sistine Chapel. I could never conceive of creating something like that, but just because I’m unable to create it, I don’t believe that no human could have created it. I think this is the flaw with a lot of the researchers, they look at a complex crop
circle design and they could not possibly conceive how it would be possible for them to create it under cover of darkness in one night, so therefore they inaccurately conclude that it can’t conceivably be man made. But, I assure you it is entirely possible and we’ve demonstrated our craft on numerous occasions”. I think that John makes a good point here with the “Sistine Chapel” reference. Clearly it is unknown whether or not aliens have formed crop circles on our planet. It’s obvious though that some, if not all, crop circles are man made.
