![]() Since then, people have used crop circles to varying degrees. Like with the case in Australia, the legend becomes more about the sighting of a UFO or an alien spaceship than it is about the actual crop circle. Many of the examples of crop circles being linked to UFOs gets confused about whether it’s really about the UFO or the crop circle. They were inspired by the case in Australia, so they tried to blame the circles on UFOs. Radford continues, though, and says that one case from the United Kingdom in 1991 had two men come forward and admit to creating hundreds of crop circles, which leads people to believe that mostly the circles’ origins are very human. And it’s because we can’t account for the origins of every crop circle that all these different theories exist. Benjamin Radford, a contributor for LiveScience, said that unlike other supernatural or unexplainable entities like Bigfoot, crop circles are very real and definitely exist. ![]() Others still believe that spaceships are the cause for the varying patterns in the ground. But many people who believe in an extraterrestrial origin think that aliens use their enhanced technology to send energy down from outer space to create patterns in the crop. The force of the energy on the land would cause the crop to fall. One theory includes earth’s energy fields and meridians. Another theory says that specific wind patterns to an area could cause the crop to lie down. One explanation in the 1980s said that they are formed from overactive hedgehogs. ![]() The theories on the origins of crop circles are wide and varied. ![]() Different types of fungi and sickness within the grass or crop can make the plant fall, and sometimes it happens in localized patterns, which might explain the actual circle that is formed. Scientists and police since then have garnered the truth and believe that the circles might appear from a certain disease in the plant. The difference in the two accounts is that the man in Australia obviously blamed it on aliens, but the man in England believed it to be the devil. However, police blamed the shape on natural phenomena like disease or water damage. In 1966 in Australia, a farmer said that he saw a flying saucer leave a swampy area, and when he investigated the area he found a circular pattern lain into the reeds and swamp grass. Since then, many crop circles have popped up in the countryside of the United Kingdom, but throughout the years, crop circles have begun to appear in other countries. That goes against the usual descriptions of crop circles because they are typically described as being patted down into the shape and not cut. However, different editions of the wood engraving depict a devilish being with a scythe cutting at the crop. The circle was recorded on a wood engraving. The crops in his field were trampled or cut down in the shape of a circle. The “Mowing Devil” was the first reported incident of a crop circle, and the farmer who found the circle said that there was a devilish entity that visited his field. The first appearance of a crop circle was in England 1678. But whatever the reason people believe what they do, crop circles have a long and vibrant history that has many legends swirling around it. Others believe that they are a hoax by people who wish to scare or stun the people who view them. That perhaps they represent some sort of alien language. Some people believe that crop circles are used as a message from a foreign species. They’ve generated rumors, been researched and debunked, and people all over the world hold varying levels of belief as far as the origins are concerned. But in all its forms crop circles are beautiful and cryptic, so they innately fascinate people even though they’ve been around for a very long time. Crop circles have been adapted into films and television series, and usually the use of crop circles in these mediums is to give way to a supernatural or otherworldly entity that has come to earth. She loves all the mystery and loves to think that there might be a little bit going on that we don’t know about.Ĭrop circles and their mysterious origins have spawned years of debate and speculation about whether or not they are formed by aliens.
