I've moved my response from the Deep Impact thread....

Personnally I am not closed to such matters as UFOs, crop circles and the like

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?

No cant agree abalone, this is discussed in the CCC subsection, it was interesting to read first hand accounts of people who actually made crop circles.

Have found two myself, one when I was a child and one other in my early twenties, together with a friend of mine we did reach the conclusion that it was natural, and it was just a plain circle and were we thought a whirlwind had been involved.
Now when farmers use chemicals to shorten the straws, such should be very rare perhaps not found at all.
As for any connection in all this with UFO's or whatever, I haven't even considered the possibilty. I came up with my own (lengty and less elegant version) of Fermi's Paradox long ago.

As for a current hoax the 'Mars Spectacular' chainletter have resurfaced.
Stating that on august 27 Mars will appear "as large as the full Moon to the naked eye."

We all here would fall over backwards over the thught that anyone believes that, yet its spread so the astronomical knowledge among many are sad indeed.

Edit on the spam/chainletter item.
