Crop Circles Are Pretty
The argument over the origin of crop circles is still going on, despite many human artists coming forward and showing how they did it. Some simple crop circles do seem to be made by the wind. Many people firmly believe that crop circles are messages sent to us by aliens who pilot UFOs. The controversy continues on YouTube.
At this point, let Aunt Rena give you a friendly tip: crop circles are a serious subject in Southern England, especailly in the Western Counties like Somerset and Wiltshire were many of the crop circles appear. If you meet someone over there you happens to firmly believe that crop circle are the work of extra-terrestrials, do not argue. Trust me on this one.
But one thing is sure about crop circles: many of them sure are pretty.
Here’s a clip of many crop gorgeous circles made about 2000 - 2006 in England. Feel free to ignore the little comments that pop up if you want. The slideshow is backed by some killer Celtic-flavored instrumental music. What do you want to be that some major coorporation will use one for their logo?
These two Somerset lads show how it’s done. This shows how futile it is to argue with a crop circle believer. It also shows you how lovely the accents are in the West Country and how creative people can be:
And, finally, not to be outdone, American aliens try to make a crop circle and somehow turns the graceful symmetry and Spirograph-like perfection of the European designs into cheap crap. Oh, well. It’s too bad Jackson Pollock died before the crop circle school of art started. Imagine what he could have done with a corn field.:
