Do cheating jokes or aliens leave?

Crop circle is a familiar term in recent years to refer to large-scale drawings created by flattening a part of wheat, barley, or corn fields.

This phrase has also been included in the Oxford dictionary since 1990 with a definition that may be the works of aliens. But Crop circle is really created how is still a big mystery, but so far no explanation is really satisfactory.

Crop circle is first reported

On January 19, 1966, the first crop cirlce reported as The Tulley saucer nest is known to occur in Queensland, Australia. The incident happened on a Sunday morning, when farmer George Pedley was working on a tractor on Albert Pennisi's field near the town of Tully. At around 9:00 am, he heard a loud sound in a nearby lagoon.

Looking at the noise, he saw a strange object suddenly emerge from the swamp. Pedley said the strange object was gray, shaped like a very large disk, protruding at the top and bottom. The moment he saw it, it was spinning very fast. Then the 'disk' dives into the water and suddenly flies up at tremendous speed and loses in just a few seconds.

After the strange object disappears, Pedley drives the car to the side where the disc has parked. At the waterbreaking place, there is clearly a wide circle in which trees have been crushed. The water is still spinning as if someone has just stirred up. 3 hours earlier when Pedley went through this area, everything was still completely normal.

That afternoon, Pedley went out to break the water to see again. Different from the morning, this time he saw a reed with a diameter of about 9m floating on the water, all reed fell down clockwise. Pedley brought strange things to Pennisi when he was told by Pennisi about 5:30 in the morning that his dog also acted very oddly, he tried to find a way to run to the side of the water.

Then Pedley and another farmer waded down the swamp to the reeds. They found that they could swim under the reeds, and that the bottom of the lagoon below the reeds was very flat. Pennisi also captures those round reeds, which now turn from green to brown.

That evening, Pedley reported the incident to Tully Police Department. The next morning the police came, they checked the water break area and then confirmed what Pedley reported was true. On January 20, Tully Police Department reported the incident to the Royal Australian Air Force Agency (RAAF). Days later, the lagoon area was packed with reporters and interested researchers. Many assumptions are made besides the assumption of an unidentified flying object (UFO). One of the hypothetical media reports at that time was due to helicopters, crocodiles, wind whirlwinds .

It was then checked through Pennisi's farm, and surprisingly, there were a total of five reeds with such reeds found, but none were as big as the previously discovered Pedley. there. In some 'nests', the reed fell clockwise, in others it was the other way around, and in some areas the center was burned.

People have analyzed the first reed 'nest' but no trace of another world can be found. After many investigations, the RAAF did not give a clear answer about what made those strange circles. However they have made a hypothesis. Under the assumption of the RAAF, this phenomenon may be due to the whirlwinds that often occur in this area. They did not mention that Pedley saw a strange flying object.

Crop circle in history

Although the first crop circle is widely communicated, the Tully saucer nest is not the cirle crop created first. The oldest record of an image with many similarities to the crop circle is depicted in a newspaper published in the UK in 1678. The photo titled 'Mowing-devil' (translating a 'Rice Reaper') draws a picture. the demon is holding a scythe reaping oval curves on an oat field.

This article wrote: 'A farmer fell down with a reaper on reaping 3.5 acres of oats. Because the reapers demanded too high prices, the farmer said that it would be better to let the reapers reap than thanks to him. That very night, the farmer's barley field lit up like it was burning, but the next morning it was found that the field had been neatly harvested as a result of the demon's hand or so. some mysterious force; The field has been harvested in such a way that no human can do it in one night '.

Crop circle shape

The first crop circle was discovered with a simple shape, they are just round shapes with different sizes. Years later, they appeared in the form of more complex geometric figures. In addition to the designs based on sacred geometric models (are geometric figures used in the design of sacred buildings or arts such as churches .), these appear later. , especially after 2000, is modeled on other principles such as the extraction system. Many crop circle today has many subtle details and complex, very regular symmetry and layout very carefully. Many crop circle seems to be inspired by animals and religious symbols.

Is it a game of people who like to joke or be a sign of an alien civilization?

Doug Bower and Dave Chorley were the first two jokes to claim to have started creating these drawings since 1978. Later, their work was continued by other groups. There is a web page that shows how to create a crop circle.

Some crop circles have beautiful and complex shapes.

Meanwhile, others claim that photos of crop circles show that this is not a work done by humans. In the report about the crop circle of biophysicist WC Levengood, he said that the trees were knocked down in the crop circle not by humans. They are not created by the impact of breaking or crushing but by the action of a highly concentrated energy such as microwaves or a plasma tornado.

There is also the assumption that this is the work of natural forces such as lightning or tornadoes. But there is a fact that normal lightning or tornadoes rarely create separate depressions on fields, let alone create very complex and sophisticated drawings with huge size.

Despite all assumptions, crop circle continues to appear, with more and more complex shapes. So far thousands of cases have been found. And it is true that in most cases they are not discovered to be created during the day, only one night until the next morning people see them.
