May have been humans. You tell us how they do it. Surely humans will leave some form of trash etc that DNA could be extracted from. Why not?

I know. I get it.

But, I just have read too much and seen the photos of the ones that were not there the day before...The one
in England next to the biggest telescope...OMG.
The intricacies!!!!!

I am not ignoring anything; I am quoting an article that ran on the Live Science link. And I believe they are correct that "the only known, proven cause of crop circles is humans." We have no proof of others making these circles; but we do know that some humans have made them. Did they make them all; I don't know. They could have since we have nothing to prove otherwise.

As far as the larger and more detailed circles; I can easily picture a frat house of even a class of students setting out to out perform the other circle artist. There are surely some humans capable of weaving.

I over many years helped worked the ground, plant cultivate and harvest thousands of acres of ground. The family I worked for farmed 4500 acres and when I quit 20 years or so later they were farming 17000 acres. I also know other farmers with thousands of acres and have a huge circle of contacts.

Never seen or heard of a crop circle. As a bachelor, I really got around and went to many rural bars and never even heard it spoke of other than talk of real pain for anyone they might catch stomping down the crops(PAYCHECK)

Yes you are just glossing over the facts. Crtop circles are huge and accotrding to rs62 they are weaved.You response is laughable.

You said: There are surely some humans capable of weaving.

Good info.
Here's more: I, in turn, have worked 38 years next month at my job
from Florida, NY, to now CO, USA... lived from Boston to KCMO to San Antonio in the health field....NEVER
have I heard of my clients getting a tumor on their kidney.
I'm thinking they don't exist.
Nor have any in a Subaru gotten a brain injury ---I'm buying a Subaru according to that logic...
and you should come to me for your health issues.

Bada bing.

I am not glossing over any 'facts'. I am quoting the only known facts.

The reason that all but six states have laws against hazing is because college students have been killed: https://hazingprevention.org/home/hazing/statelaws/. Of course every year our students are still coming up with challenges for the new pledges to 'prove' their worth to the fraternity they have pledged. Creating a 'work of art' capable of fooling many could still be looked on as a possible challenge. It is a better explanation than ET travelled 1,000 light years to bend down our crops.

Many of the more detailed crop circles (assuming they're not PhotoShopped fakes) require considerable knowledge of mathematics and the ability to lay out complex figures. I'm not saying they're made by aliens, but I don't think they're made by a couple of old men armed with a 2x6 and a piece of rope either. A flock of fraternity pledges would almost certainly tramp down stalks that weren't intended to be crushed. I can't imagine how the things were made.

I agree with you and others that some appear to defy explanation. But, that in itself, could be the challenge for a group of pledgelings would want (anonymity)? This is an illegal act and one can be made to pay restitution. While it is possible that some stalks could be trampled down; corn would be easy to get to the middle of the field and not affect the stalks. Of course other crops would take considerable ingenuity to plan a way without trampling the stalks. But nothing like a great challenge to our youth that think they are smarter than the average bear.

I don't understand. All I said was that I never have seen or heard of them around me. I did not say they do not exist.

Do you give shots?
