As harmless and as prosaic as the eventual revelations may be, this is one of the most intriguing of all.

How do they create these? I want to help!

Drunken farm boys are certainly the mischievious wee pranksters aren't they?

O.K., I confess. I was, ahem, imbibing at Murphy's Strip Bar and Armenian Grill, recently, and left after the midnight hour. We were traveling home and I HAD to stop. After the call of nature, out in the country, I left one deuce of a crop circle.

Does this help you out?

I made them in my Chevy.

UPDATE: I recently heard that crop circles are caused by Chuck Norris telling corn to lie the f*** down...

Crop circles, anal probes, and abduction of dimwits? These aliens must have a sense of humour.

Not really much of a mystery. Clearly it's just the latest ad campaign by Target.

Sure People can and do make them- however,I think it takes more skill than drunken college kids or crack heads have. Try it out in the dark with a plank and some rope & a case of brew! The result will likely be less than Geometrically Perfect! What has NOT been explained is the strange effects on the plants that grow there afterwards....

No way its just people who like to cause trouble.

the men to contribute these mysteries to is to mr. john deere and mr. international harvester. living in a rural area i have seen it done.. no biggie.

I think they're hilarious, but they're NOT a mystery. The guys who were creating these things revealed their stunt a long time ago. People just don't want to give up a good mystery.

Very explainable actually. It's called a dude, with a plank and too much time on their hands.

A load of crap. Just someone's pathetic idea of a joke.

How is it unexplained if they have shown videos of people making the stupid things?

Wouldn't that be cool if these crop circles were really made by aliens. I would like to see an alein even if it is a very dangerous thing to do I think it would be cool.

These have been explained though; they're done by a small group of men in the dead of night, using a plank of wood to flatten the grass. All you need is a board and a couple of lengths of rope, and maybe a tape measure. Aliens may or may not exist, but if they're going to etch things into the earth in order to leave messages to us or to each other, they could probably come up with a more permanent medium than a wheat field.

I used to make these back in high school, some even made it into the papers.

almost everyday i see another crop circle on the news and they prove its made by a drunk idiot.

This was proven to be a HOAX years ago. How can people be so gullible to believe "aliens" did this?? Sad sad state of affairs for our collective IQs.

How could anyone belive this?? It has been shown ppl can do it...

It has been proven that crop circles can be done by people. Most of whom, have absolutely no lives whatsoever. The hoaxes have been uncovered, but there are still people out there who believe that the ALIENS!!!! did it.
