History of Crop Circles

1972–First modern crop circle

1980-when crop circles first caught public attention

Alien Theory

• UFO Landings or their energy beams cause crop circles

• Communication/Strands of their DNA

• 1974 Arecibo Message• Hard to believe aliens

would come to earth to make designs in fields

Vortex Theory

• Crop circles created by localized pockets of ionized whirlwinds

• Point to abnormalities such as swelling of node size and burn marks

• 95% of all crop circles formed by these ion plasma vortexes

• Have photographs and a video as proof

Problems• Researchers don’t use the double blind

technique• Don’t take into count other factors such as hot

sun beating down on compressed moist plants• Photographs of balls of light can be particles

reflecting light, insects, fraud or camera malfunction

• Video showed what appeared to be a vortex in action but was actually the wrist strap of the camera
