4. Look Out! It's a countdown. When they.................

Saw that in a movie once.

5. I walked into one of these in England three weeks ago. WOW...

...is all I can say.

I don't know how or what or why -- can't begin to "explain" but the energy inside those formations is palpable.

We were in two crop circles that had just appeared. Those formations are not cut. The barley just lays down, and can still be harvested. Nobody has seen these being made. I couldn't figure out how anyone could do the designs at ground level. They are very intricate and I couldn't "see" the whole thing at all from that point of view. If done from a helicopter, that would be heard, plus the whole design would take an awful lot of time. These designs, as you can see, are extremely detailed.

As far as I'm concerned... AMAZING!

7. Actually, they have been seen being made

Some of the first people who did it eventually shot a video of their doing it. It's not just a spur of the moment thing - these guys are very good with math and work it all out on paper before heading out. The tools are pretty simple - sticks for marking certain places in the formation, ropes, and then large planks attached to their shoes that they use on stepping on the crop - bending it but not breaking it. The one that they made for the video was very detailed, and they did it all in one night.

6. Not sure where they come from...

But, they sure are lovely.

In any case, the creation of something like that
can't be easy.
