Crop Circles: Hoax, Science, or Something Else
Imagine walking through a field just before sunrise. The air is cold, and there is a thin layer of mist close to the ground. The world is quiet…too quiet. You are surrounded by acres of grain that stretch into the darkness. That’s when you see it: a perfectly formed circle. It’s not a rough patch or an area where the wind has blown crops over. It is a perfectly formed circle. Every stalk of grain inside it appears to be pressed toward the ground. Inside this circle is another circle, and another, and another. Together they form a pattern so enormous that you can’t comprehend what you are looking at, so you climb a nearby hill. Suddenly, the pattern appears to you. It is geometric, precise, and disturbing. So, get ready, my spooky friends. Today, you will hear the history of crop circles, where they come from, and take a look at who could be creating them. Is it a human, or perhaps something more?
