Enormous circles with various shapes have begun to appear in fields across England, remaining one of humanity’s greatest mysteries.
The Mysterious Circles – Masterpieces of “Aliens”
Crop circles – the circles in the fields – refer to large patterns, sometimes hundreds of meters wide, created in fields by bending and flattening stalks of crops, resulting in contrasting colors along specific lines.
Most of these strange circles are concentrated in southern England, particularly in Hampshire and Wiltshire. Many circles have also been reported near Avebury and Stonehenge, two famous sites known for their mysterious stone structures.
However, crop circles are not only found in England but also in many countries around the world, including the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan, and India.
Crop circles are usually formed with great precision and symmetry, appearing as if they are products of machinery. The stalks are bent and flattened without dying, often lying in a clockwise or counterclockwise spiral.
The mysterious circles have been recorded in historical texts since the 14th century. In the centuries that followed, reports of crop circle appearances were sporadic in various areas.
It wasn’t until the 1980s that crop circles began to attract global attention, particularly when a circle’s appearance was heavily reported in the media.
By the 1990s, crop circles were appearing more frequently and became a phenomenon that captivated researchers and tourists alike.
Crop circle locations have become tourist attractions, drawing visitors from all over the world to explore and learn.
Initially, the crop circles discovered were quite simple in shape. However, they have become increasingly complex over time.
Apart from single circles or clusters of circles, crop circles can appear in numerous intricate shapes, often highly elaborate.
They can also take on structures resembling mazes, the shapes of insects, patterns from ancient civilizations, or scripts unknown to humanity.
Many crop circles exhibit structures that adhere to strict mathematical principles. Noted American astronomer and professor Gerald S. Hawkins remarked that the “creators” of crop circles possess extensive knowledge of Euclidean geometry.
These mysterious circles typically appear between April and September each year, coinciding with the harvest season.
They can appear in all types of crops such as wheat, rice, corn, beans, oats, tobacco, or even weeds, and are fully formed overnight, beyond human observation.
Who is the author of these mysterious circles? This question has sparked much debate over the decades.
Skeptics argue that these are merely products created by humans to attract public attention.
In fact, many people have claimed to be the creators of crop circles, and several “man-made” circles have been constructed using mechanical methods under media observation.
However, these “fake” circles always leave traces of human intervention. In contrast, most circles examined by scientists show no signs of damage or trampling, appearing to be influenced by an extremely powerful invisible energy.
Even those who claim to have created crop circles cannot explain how they produced such complex patterns. This has led to further speculation about the origins of crop circles.
The most widely known hypothesis is that aliens or a secret civilization with a higher level of development than humans created these patterns in the fields as a message to humanity.
Some scientists suggest that crop circles result from whirlwinds, common in southern England. However, this theory is not very convincing since whirlwinds cannot create such perfect geometric structures.
Other opinions suggest that crop circles are caused by energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation originating from within the Earth. In fact, scientists have measured a significant magnetic field within the circles. However, it is hard to believe that natural energy could imagine and create such patterns as a butterfly.
American researcher William Levengood discovered that crops in areas where crop circles appear are damaged in a manner similar to being placed in a microwave. It seems they have collapsed due to sudden internal heating, akin to the energy produced in a microwave.
In 2001, two Dutch farmers claimed to have seen “columns” of white light shining down on their bean field. Subsequently, a crop circle appeared in the area where the light was directed.
In summary, after decades of research, the phenomenon of “crop circles” remains a mystery to humanity. It is hoped that a satisfactory explanation for this phenomenon will be found in the near future.
