I've moved my response from the Deep Impact thread....
QUOTE (Richard Trigaux @ Aug 16 2005, 07:57 AM) I once flew a very large delta kite at night with a glow stick attached, that one made it into the local newspaper. I've also had a crop circle i made reported at the back of the Fortean times. I have a pan of that i took with my 35mm camera which was one of the first pans i ever assembled. Thats two, has anyone else ever been responsible for lights in the sky or strange phenomenon? |

One thing which much astonishes me is that, in the hypothesis that actual crop circles are the work of hoaxers, there are no mistakes.
I explain: it is very difficult to move precisely into a field (by night and even by day) where we have no visual landmarks. At best we could have an accuracy of 10m. We could do simple figures with means such as ropes, etc. but most crop circles today are very complex, understand they contains tens of circles and straight lines, and are very accurate (in the 0.1m range), and never featuring mistakes or blunders, while still "appearing" in a short time. To achieve such a precision and complete absence of errors in complex figures would require that the hoaxers use some sophisticated electronic mean, with a military organisation. What Bob shaw suggests: QUOTE (Bob Shaw @ Aug 26 2005, 11:40 PM) is that the link provided by helvick would be a painting whe could obtain with Photoshop. In this case really it looks like that, but are all the images published in "pro-circle" reviews and sites fabricated with graphic softwares? It seems unlikely, as many are perspective views, with people, etc, and even "con-circle" people found them in real fields. |

Doug You could do like this onewith only ropes? I implies non-circular lines, and also large dimentions (How to pull a lengthy rope without it touching the crop?) |
