Now that you know all about crop circles check out this video and find out the surprisingly reasonable answer to the question- Why Do We Drive on Parkways and Park on Driveways?: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eZ6Bd7x11pfHpWg.html

"Started *cropping up* in other areas of the world". :)

They say prostitution is the world's oldest profession, but I'd wager trolling is.

Leaving out a lot of detail, the folds of wheat were often interlaced you can’t do that with a board, it’s ludicrous these two bar flies are responsible for the hundreds of circles occurring

Yo Simon! Can you explain how the different sizes of batteries got their alphabetical names?

1:00 "Cropping up" Please tell me that was on purpose.

No one ever seems to be concerned with how the crop producers feel about the vandalism done to their crops. A flattened crop is subject to disease and is very difficult to harvest, some of the crop is inevitably lost.

Long story short, they did it for the lulz

I recently watched a crop circle documentary in which they discussed how the researchers will always look at the wheat to see if it is crushed, if it is, it is determined it is man made. I wish you'd talked about that as I'm intrigued as to your explanation of how the other kind of crop circle is made, in which the wheat isn't crushed but has undergone some kind of heat that bent it without breaking it. You have only discussed one type of crop circle here.

I firmly believed in the plank theroy of crop circles until I had the opportunity to see one. It may or may not be the one you mentioned in Canada. We got the directions and it was a full two months after the crop circle had been laid in a oat field. I was interested and messed around like an amature and had brought a couple of things like a compass (I'd heard about magnetic anomalies) and coathanger dowsing rods (even though I don't know how to douse and of course question it's effacy even though I have farmer friends that swear by it for finding underground streams creating a well for water). I also brought a cemera and took many photos. It was underwhelming at first, my friend, who was a huge fan of paranormal and X-Files (this was 2001) was excited to see it and was visibly dissappointed as we explored it for about an hour and a help. It was waaaaay off the centre of anywhere and I'm sure if artists wanting to make an impression would have made it they would have made it in a more obvious place. The farmer didn't even notice it until he started mowing it down. It was at the time, the largest crop circle in the world at over 325 feet across. Now, I'm NOT and have never said "I think this is aliens". I've always said "I don't know what did it but a person with planks and string couldn't have done this". First of all, the wheat was mature. That means that anyone trying to squish it, it would have bounced back over time. This was bent down in the spiral formation and it had the classic elements of apparent heat to the straw and the 90 degree bends at the node (that is the toughest part of the stalk- pressure inflicted would bend it mid stalk not at the node) and the nodes were swollen and burst and bent. (Most people who try and argue this point haven't really examined this part I guess?) Another curious thing was that we didn't know that shape of it but after we went in one of my photos showed that I'd unknowingly put down my backpack in the dead centre because places where I'd broken bones many years ago and never think about started to ache. The way the straw was bent couldn't have been explained away by pressure and the weaving pattern was very MC Escher-like in that in the centre the oats were woven flat down so that you would have had to undo the pattern- all the tops were under the stalk in front - if a person had done that it would have been very difficult. When my friend was bored and dismayed, I was excited and I took a few stalks from the circle and a few from a tractor tire print because that felt like more than a good impression of what pressure-caused bending would be like. They are nothing the same. This is why people who jump to pressure plank irritate me. I won't say that none are done by plankers, of course some are but if they all are they are using very sophisticated. There was a documentary mid 2000's where MIT kids tried to make a crop circle with all the anomalies like the magnetic anomalies and the iron pellets commonly found in the soil. They were able to replicate most of it but not all and it was too much work and very expensive to get ALL the elements in. Left are straws from the circle, right are from the tractor. Sorry about the quality HD failure in 2004 made me lose the originals. tesseract.ca/images/Photos/CropCircleStraw.jpg Mowed circle tesseract.ca/images/Photos/CropCircle2.jpg All I'm saying is if you get the chance, go to it and examine it using an open mind (true skepicism- don't belive conspiracies and don't brush it off as human weight on a plank but look at the evidence- try and press down some crop yourself with a plank and you will see it bounce back up) and look at the details and try and replicate it. Also sugar cane- are you effing kidding me? A human could press down sugar cane? There are also "crop circles" in forests where trees have been pressed down. Trees.

...and then those two guys unzipped their human suits to reveal their alien form, hopped in their flying saucer, did some donuts in a wheat field, then flew to their home planet, laughing hysterically the whole way.

Some crop circles are of incredible complexity and could not be created by two men or two hundred men at night unobserved by passersby. A large reward has been posted to anyone duplicating one of these crop circles unseen in one night and using the techniques of the so-called 'inventors.'. After many years the reward is still unclaimed.

For years I believed Crop Circles to be a man made thing. But after doing a bit of research into them it appears that many of the more intricate crop circles arent just flattened wheat, the strands of wheat are criss cross folded/weaved together (something which would take days or even weeks to do) There are also many cases where credible witnesses such as police say the field was empty and then the massive crop circle design appeared a few hours later. Plus of course it has been over 20 years since the 2 guys who claimed to have faked them stopped doing it yet the number of circles and complexity of designs has been continuing. So maybe there is more to crop circles than most people think :)

If an "expert" immediately jumps to the conclusion of aliens or ghosts I wouldn't call that person an expert.

Aliens - "You stole my crop circles." 👽

I heard his phenomenon was full of crop

Today I Found Out | Are restaurants and food companies actually allowed to use "secret ingredients" in "secret recepies"? If so, what about customers with allergies? This has been confusing me for quite a while.

you should do a video of whether or not nuclear power is safe, it seems a lot of people are very uninformed about it

you really explained the weet not being damaged and the radiation. and it seems a lot of funny people keep doing huge complex crop circles without being spoted in a couple of hours.

why is printer ink so expensive

Most crop circles are unimpressive nothings, which could have (and probably were) made by a group of pranksters. What gets me about this phenomenon are the intricate, amazing-looking ones that, if you asked me, couldn’t be made easily by humans in a week, let alone a night. My only doubt about the *really* impressive ones is: were they were genuinely made ‘overnight’? The one I always cite is the 2001 Milk Hill circle. Now, if you tell me that a bunch of, say, 25 people have a week to create this masterpiece (for that’s what it is), then I might believe you, but even then with difficulty, given its scale and precision. If you tell me that on a Monday this thing wasn’t there, and by a Tuesday morning it was … then, there is either an army of *very* skilful, speedy artists out there, or something very strange is going on. It all hinges on whether these things are created overnight, something which cannot be verified, alas.

What they don't want to know: Doug and Dave were aliens in a Doug and Dave costume.

I really don't think that a few dudes are capable of creating some of the truly amazing crop circles

They should make a movie about these guys. At least it would be original.

If they are all man made, how come nobody has discovered even a single one that was half finished. How come nobody has ever been caught in the act doing it. There were a few thousand of these discovered last year alone. If even a fraction were man made, we would see some pretty terrible designs and mistakes in the geometry or mathematics. That never happens though. They are all on another level of flawlessness.

Maybe the circles are a result of crop rotation.

...did not expect to tear up at the end. How sweet he was just having fun with this friend...

Checks the comment section for all the "experts" arguing that it's still aliens.

OMG have they made a biopic movie out of this? lol

Crazy how these guys are only known for their crop circles and not their ability to travel back in time hundreds of years and make those crop circles, too.

And so we learn the origins of the fine art of trolling.

You wouldn't nail that level of symmetry in a piece of paper let alone at that big scale without using topography and several people assisting you.

one of best videos this channel has made so far!

The lack of bonus fact is disturbing

They took turns holding the flashlight, I guess? So ez. Especially the sine waves: ∑ ₙ ᪲₌ ₀ (x²ⁿ⁺¹)(-1)ⁿ/(2n+1)! = sin(x) ↑ This is a Piece of Cake look!!↑ Even a baby can approximate this! RIGHT? And then when they make circles with the radii imitating the Fibonacci sequence, carefully placed on that sine wave I'm all like "Pffft! Who are you kidding? Simple." All I gotta do is call up like 5 drinking buddys who've had Drafting and Trigonometry, and convince them this is not an idiotic idea: "COME ON! IT'S ALMOST TIME FOR LAST CALL! AND I GOT A BUZZ! LET'S GO PUT OUR ENGINEERING SKILLS TO USE... IN A CORN FIELD. I'M REALLY INSPIRED BY THOSE 2 GUYS." And then hope they're not all like "I don't know man. Won't that take a while?" And I'm like "IT'LL TAKE ALL NIGHT! BUT SO WHAT? YOU CAN GO ONE NIGHT WITHOUT SLEEP. YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO HOME TO YOUR WIFE... MAKE A CROP CIRCLE WITH ME. SHE'LL UNDERSTAND." I'm sure he won't respond by saying "Isn't that trespassing? Do we have enough flashlights? Is this really the best use ofㅡ" As an artist, a former draftsman, AutoCAD user, and someone who knows how long it takes just to draw these with a compass on paper, I'm yelling at my friend "YOU BIG BABY! WE COULD'VE FINISHED THE FIRST ARC BY NOW! EVERY MINUTE YOU SPEND YAPPING IS TIME WE COULD BE MAKING THE GREEK KEY, OR A TANGENT LINE TO A CIRCLE." And he's like "Oh yeah. How's that go again?" And I say "like this!" ↓ y - y₁ = m( x- x₁) "WHAT DOES THE m STAND FOR?" he asks me. (can you believe this joker?) "SLAM THAT!!!" I yell "ANOTHER ROUND!" We slam our empty shot glasses down! Then I'm like "m is the slope, dumbass!" I tell him m = Δy/Δx The waitress/bartender is like "You guys want anything else? Last call." And I'm like "HELL YEAH! GET US SOME SHOTS OF FIREBALL!!! WE'RE GONNA MAKE CROP CIRCLES TONIGHT! WE'RE GONNA MAKE π PRECISE TO 10 DECIMAL POINTS!" The waitress says "Mmm... Sounds like a blast." And I'm all like "YOU SHOULD COME WITH US! YOU CAN HOLD THE FLASHLIGHT." She slaps me in the face and yells "I HEARD YOU TALKING ABOUT SINE WAVES! I HAD CALCULUS! JUST CUZ I'M A WAITRESS? WHY DON'T YOU USE ROPE FOR THE RADIUS? OR BETTER YETㅡ" the waitress yells back behind her "BRING US 6 SHOTS OF FIREBALL AND 2 SHOTS OF JACK FOR ME!!! I GOTTA CATCH UP!" Then she takes out a napkin and starts writing: (x - a)² + ( y- b)² = R² She's all like "FOR A RADIUS = R WE CAN JUST SOLVE FOR y AND MAKE IT A FUNCTION OF x. AND AS FAR AS YOUR TANGENT LINES WE CAN JUST SET y = f(x) AND THE TANGENT LINE WILL JUST BE g(x) = f'(c)(x-c) + f(c) WHERE c IS JUST ANY REAL NUMBER." In the background the whole bar is watching us! The whole bar is like: "CHUG! CHUG! CHUG! CHUG!" And I'm all like "this is more attention than I hoped for. Can all these people keep a secret? Are they cool?" The waitress is like "ARE YOU KIDDING? THEY'LL HELP US IF I ASK! WHAT I'M THINKING IS WE MAKE THIS A MILE WIDE!! WHY SCREW AROUND!!!?" I'm like "I JUST MAY BE FALLING IN LOVE WITH YOU." She's like "SAVE YOUR SWEET TALK FOR THE CORNFIELD STUD! SO, ARE WE GONNA USE A TRACTOR OR WHAT?" I'm like "A BOARD!" But she yells "A BOARD!? NAH MAN! YOU WANNA REEEEALLY MESS WITH PEOPLE!!?" "Oh yeah." "OK THEN. WE'RE GONNA BRAID EVERY SINGLE STALK! 1 BY 1. NO BREAKING THEM! GOT IT!!? I WANT A DRONE UP IN THE AIR!!! I WANT TO SEE IF THE THING IS SYMMETRICAL... BURP! EXCUSE ME. WE CAN'T DO THAT IF WE'RE INSIDE THE MAIZE MAZE!!!" "HA!" I laugh. "HEY, ARE YOU SERIOUS ABOUT THIS OR DO YOU JUST WANNA JOKE AROUND? I WANT SATELLITES TO SEE THEM!!!" she says! We all head out to the parking lot. "OH, ONE MORE THING" she says "I WANT THE AREA UNDER EVERY CURVE TO BE EQUAL..." and then the waitress takes out another napkin, and on the hood of my car she writes: Area = ∫ aⱼ(x)-bⱼ(x) dx from x= x₁ to x= x₂ "AND THAT'LL COVER ANY AREA THAT HAS bⱼ CURVES, UNDER a₁, a₂, a₃ AND SO ON." My buddy says to the waitress "What is that squiggly thing?" He points at this→ ∫ The waitress looks at me and says "PLEASE TELL ME HE'S NOT COMING ALONG." I spark a fatty and say "RELAX. HE'S JUST HOLDING THE FLASHLIGHT. WANNA HIT THIS?" She's like "YEAH. IT HELPS THE CREATIVE PROCESS. DO THESE GUYS KNOW HOW TO MAKE A LOGARITHMIC SPIRAL? OR A HYPERBOLIC SINE WAVE? WAIT! I GOT IT! WE'LL MAKE A FRACTAL!! ∞ A SERPINSKI TRIANGLE THAT KEEPS ON GOING!!! TWO MILES WIDE WITH LINES 1 METER THICK, AND WE'LL SHOVE IT IN A MANDELBROT SET!!!!! UNLESS YOU THINK THAT'S TOO EASY?" And my stupid friend is all like "THEY'LL JUST GO OVER IT WITH A TRACTOR THOUGH! IN A DAY OR TWO IT'LL ALL BE RUINED!!" I whisper to the waitress "sorry. He just doesn't get it. He's not an artist." She's like "here. You can roach that." Then my friend is like "SO WE'RE GONNA WORK ON THIS THING ALL NIGHT, GO INTO WORK TOMORROW, HUNGOVER, EXHAUSTED PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY, AND FOR WHAT??? SO THEY CAN GIVE ALIENS THE CREDIT!? AND THEN TEAR IT DOWN!??" (I'm like sooo embarrassed) The waitress is all like "where did you meet these weirdos?" I whisper "go easy on the guy. He's had a few too many. He's not thinking clearly like us..." I read her nametag: [ TAMBER ] "Tamber?" The waitress says "it's short for Tiffany Amber." (a sexy name, AND she's into Mathematically precise crop circles?) Tamber says "everything I do holds up to Mathematical rigor and scientific scrutiny." "Gulp!" I say "Um. Everything?" She whispers "just don't call me Timber." I ask her "why not?" And she says "because I don't chop down trees... I make sure wood stays up." (then she winks at me and licks her lips) I'm like "whoa!" Tamber is like "we don't need these other guys do we? I think you and I can handle this" she says, bending over to tie her shoelaces. "YEAH! DEFINITELY! " I tell her. "WE GOT THIS! EVERYONE ELSE GO HOME!!" Then I decide to follow a waitress ㅡwho I just metㅡinto a cornfield. Tamber. Her name is Tamber. ♡ 5'-1" Petite Smart Hair in pigtails Tight fitting clothes Says she likes to travel Big Dark eyes you can get lost in (she's an angel I tell yuh) "Well, here we are" I say. "Just the 2 of us. Under the stars... in the middle of a cornfield." I go in for the kiss "Mmm..." Then she bites my earlobe and whispers "I didn't come all this way just to play patty cake." "Huh?" Tamber pushes me down on some corn! She pins my wrists down and sits on me! Tamber says 'come on. show me what you got, tough guy.' I roll over and she ends up on the bottom! (then I show her what I got) Tamber moans! She's all like "OH GOD! RIGHT THERE! JUST LIKE THAT! JUST LIKE THAT! DON'T STOP!" I say "I'm not hurting you right?" Tamber digs her fingers into my back, screaming "PLEASE DON'T STOP! I'M SO CLOSE! I'M GONNA COME IN PEACE! AH!" I make all Tamber's dreams come true. (twice!!) Afterwards I lie back, spark another fatty, and pass it to Tamber. It's almost sunrise. Tamber rests her large, but adorable, head on my chest. I say "I guess I'll just tell the guys we decided not to do the crop circles." Tamber says "why?" I look around and see the most amazing crop circle formed around us! It looks exactly like what we had in mind on the napkin designs we made! I ask Tamber "did we make that when weㅡ" She says "yup. Sure did." (and THAT is the true origin of crop circles!) Seriously. Do you hear me laughing? Tamber says "why are you laughing?" I tell her "Hehe, I just typed something funny on KZfaq." Suddenly some dogs bark: "BARK! BARK-BARK-BARK!!!" A farmer yells "Who's out there!?" Tamber stands up and shoves all her clothes into a tiny purse! She says "CAN I WEAR YOUR HOODIE SO I CAN SMELL LIKE YOU?" So I'm all like "um. Sure." Tamber zips it up halfway and runs off! I scream "TAMBER! DON'T GO!" The farmer yells "I'M CALLING THE COPS! THE SIGN SAYS NO TRESPASSING! OH. MY. GOD." Because he sees one of these→ Δ Tamber runs towards the triangular craft yelling back to me "I PUT A TRACKING CHIP INSIDE YOU IN CASE l NEED TO GET A HOLD OF YOU! I'LL CHERISH THE TIME WE SPENT!! BURP!!!" Then her triangular craft shape-shifts. It turns into 3 points of light, like this: Δ → ∴ Tamber flies straight up! I tilt my head up to the sky!! I scream at the top of my lungs "TAMBER!!! BABE!?" She's gone. And I'm all like "CALL ME." Hey Be honest Do you think she'll call?

This was great - one of your best. I'm still working through the "Today I Found Out" archives, but I'm not sure any of them could be funnier than one this was.

I have always wondered if the crop circles did damage to the harvest and the farmers' incomes. Will you please do a follow-up video about that?

Why do you feel the urge to pee by the sound of running water?

This is cool. Also the stem of your glasses kept blending with the background and made me chuckle.

Thanks for the great vid. As a member of youtube i must still inform you that your team missed a typo in the great quote of that old man whose name i seem to have forgotten already. the second page has an "its" where an "it's" should be. Thanks for putting this into the right perspective. Always wondered, now i know. Good job!

I myself was fascinated with the crop circles in the early 1990s, especially their creative, geometric patterns. Definitely a form of sacred geometry, which I also believe in. I will only say this. Those guys put so much creativity and effort to pull off a giant worldwide hoax with their landscaping work, I seriously don't know why they did not go into advertising with it. Big businesses, and the US Government, might have had some great ideas for those men of talent.

No offense, but this entire explanation is based on bullshit, and frankly illustrated accordingly. First of all, the two farmers only managed to produce a mediocre semi-circle. Just that. No other shapes. Secondly, WHILE you explained this, you showed a very elaborate pattern with far more than just a circle, which gave the impression these farmers were actually the ones making hundreds of elaborate crop circles all across the UK. - Yea sure. People who claim to make circles have NEVER been able to show anything elaborate. In fact, they can only create what you would expect with wooden planks: A semi round circle. Obviously for the masses this was clear proof, just like a floppy weather balloon was enough for the Americans to believe nothing strange crashed in their desert, despite very clear reports, eye witnesses etc. Crop circles appear everywhere and in more than just crops, they appear in sand, grass, snow, etc. Think about it, day in day out, summer, winter, harsh weather, you would need an entire army of people, volunteers all over the world going out and making circles. Without pay, without getting attention, and best of all: Without EVER getting caught or without EVER leaving a half finished one, and nobody knows who they are.. Yea sure. This is what you get when you start quoting bullshit main stream media who's ONLY reaction to anything strange is to ridicule it.. You let me down Simon. How can I trust your other videos now?

From Paul Harvey; THE REST OF THE STORY about 25 years ago. The first crop circles were reported by early aviators in c1928. One was reported and investigated and this was the finding. The field was over an old Roman garrison town remains. What happened was the different parts of the Roman installation absorbed heat differently. this difference in heat caused the crop to grow differently in different parts of the field, matching the heat absorbtion and reflection patterns

I actually think it was quite an artistic venture. Clearly many of them are quite interesting and intricate. Plus, it was just two very close friends doing something cool together. I can't see anything wrong with that aside from the destruction of or at least tampering with portions of other people's crops. It's actually really cool that these great friends figured out an interesting and artistic way to spend their time together.

I still find it hard to believe that someone could make such complicated and perfect geometric shapes mostly in the dead of night in just a matter of a few hours.

"And a few too many pints of beer." That can sum up how many, many, somewhat dumb ideas begin, people were drunk when it happened.

I have a cold and feel like crap, but Simon always makes me feel better.

Simon, I hope I'm spelling that right...Whistler? I'm American, I know, I know...any who! love the channel! But what I love, and really appreciate, is the way you present each story. The hardest subject or the funnest one, all with a well thought out idea. A very big KUDOS to you! (basically, just wanted to say thank you!)

And who says trolls are just a bunch of neckbeard living in their mothers basements?

And the wife bought the whole story about the excessive mileage on the car...............now that in itself is amazing.

this is probably the best video you guys have done yet.

This was fun. I finally know. Never paid the circles much attention, but of course, theyre so famous they're in my mind regardless. Thank you.

So, they were the first Trolls to reach an Imperial level? Respect these people y'all

Jesus these dudes had tons of free time lol

Nice job on this video. I enjoyed it very much!

A guy I knew in university made a crop circle in the Canadian prairies. He said he'd gotten the idea after talking with students in England via computer. That was way back in the mid to late 80s.

Cereologists? I'm sorry, that's my new favorite word.

A very smooth presentation, but it leaves out so many pertinent facts. Like the fact that some crop circles have their molecular structures changed, why the stalks are not broken and then die later, but are fused by intense heat and continue to grow. Why some crop circles show increased growth rates under laboratory conditions. And why some huge (300 ft) circles have appeared in fields in only minutes. Check out the work of BLT Research with Nancy Talbot and the late Dr. Leavengood if you want to learn something "truly" amazing.

A couple of questions need answering. How would you explain the difference between crops being smashed down with a board as in the human (Doug&Dave) method and crops that have actually grown at a 90 degree angle parallel to the earth after having previously grown straight, all in night's work so to speak. / There are bunches of crops that have been tied in bow-tie knots (have you) that no amount of human hands could have achieved. Nor is there any such machine or device that could have, again all in a nights work with out light, without detection and without leaving any evidence of anyone having been there. / Some circles have appeared in daylight after the field had been witnessed having been untouched earlier in the day. Patterns so massive and so complex, the area is greater than two or three football stadiums (such as the "Rosebowl" in Pasadena, CA) COMBINED!!!??? The amount of people it would take to accomplish this feat is mind boggling. Not to mention the equipment. But, in a short time, daytime or night, leaving not a single trace behind? Then there is one more factor. With all the publicity, attention and investigative processes on the area through the years, you would think that with the amount of people that would be required to produce a massive pattern, well... NO ONE HAS EVER GOTTEN CAUGHT red footed (so to speak). It's a harder story to believe than the crop-circles themselves!

Real crop circles have wheat stems bent on joints without breaking. Those millions of joints have just unnaturally swollen up (but unbroken), and falling into geometric patterns. Today I Found Out found out today that he's been following up on hoaxers who's looking for noteriety by making simple and much smaller patterns and claiming they made all. It's like making a crude, fake Picasso painter and claiming he made the real ones.

This is gold. These are the real life trolls.

It's been worked out on the large crop circle with 409 circles...each circle would have to me made in 30 seconds each to make it in the period of darkness !

Great show. I really enjoy your videos. Thank you.

one of your best videos so far imo

You say these circles are easy to make, but look at the complexity of the one featured that looked like a Fractal pattern. That must have been a nightmare to make, keeping in mind that their perspective was ground level and not from a Helicopter.

Could you please explain the elongated and bent nodes in the bent crops? An elaborate coverup story does not help no matter how much you work on making it sound plausible. How do you bend and elongate the nodes in crops with the tools you have described? Did they maybe advance to some microwave tools?

Don't forget about the movie, "Signs". That flick sure played up the crop circle phenomenon.

Doug and Dave sound like a couple of great guys. So humble.

Where did the phrase "got cold feet" in regards to a wedding come from

Great video! I've been watching for awhile now, but I don't often comment. I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate the quality content that you put out, and I try to share your videos as often as possible with friends and family.

Simon- I caught you! "Australia" does not end with an R. But you do very well and I am an increasing regular on your channel. Thank you.

I grew up in the town of Warminster, Cley Hill nearby was known for "UFO sightings".

It's 2017. It took you this many years to come up with a story and you think of this?!? come on secret world leaders, you can do better than this! We will give you a second change. But only ONE. We want a new story by friday. Don't disappoint us.

I remember when these two came clean about it. I swear some people will believe anything.

Man can send astronauts to the moon, design and manufacture aero engines, extract oil from under 2 miles of ocean, build nuclear power stations, accelerate sub atomic particles to a velocity approaching the speed of sound. But... only aliens know how to flatten grass...

The ending was unexpectedly beautiful. Maybe I should get a buddy and a plan for some old-fashioned trolling.

Two old geezers in England started the fad. I have made hundreds myself, most accompanied by others, but also quite a few alone. "It's surprisingly easy", that's most people's response when they first try it. : )(And when the crop is dry and close to harvest, the effort of pushing it flat is negligible, it almost none at all)

how has a movie not yet been made of their story??? or has it?

This is a great video to do, thanks.

Possibly one of my favourite videos by you guys so far. Quality pranks in my opinion!

They totally did it in the middle of the crop circles

Just goes to show there is a natural explanation for everything if you look hard enough.

this is the best one yet ...... LOVED IT

i met them both back in the early 70's they were talking about geometrics in there designs...we were friends of them drank in the same pubs..we talked in there shed...it was fun watching the hype over the years...and dont forget the ...yoggin.....

bro.. Dark5 and Strange Mysteries are gonna kick your ass talking like that!

I knew It! how many people have argued with me when I've said it was people fucking with us, I'm posting this on fb to rub in their faces :-P lol

Love your vids

Always loved the artwork they did in the fields.

Trolling done right.

Lol! Give me the video clip how they made it to confirm.

Four of my friends and I designed and constructed crop-art (ie more intricate than just circles) in Dorset fields between 1994 and 1999 thanks to Doug'n'Dave, our muses. Best time of our lives and so rewarding seeing self-proclaimed "experts"... or "Arseholes" as we called them, scramble to explain them with their religious fervour... Chilbolten rules and 'turoch' be-damned as he was born a halfwit.

Great story. Had heard something about it but was glad to get the low down. Keep up the good work guys... ;-}

how are calories calculated?

This makes me so happy.

I giggled all the way through this. :)

Origin of the high five! I have heard that it is a very new concept and it would be really cool to learn more about it

These are the original trolls!!

I remember reading a "scientific" explanation of crop circles decades ago. It was something about magnetic pulses forming inside the Earth due to tides and then forming fractal-like patterns and exiting to space, electrically charging the wheat and causing it to flatten in those patterns as it went. I was amazed and enthralled. It seemed strange to me that everyone was not floored by this discovery. All great achievements are labors of love it is said, hoaxes included.

If they're flattening farming crop, doesn't that amount to vandalism and destruction of property?

I love these guys! A great prank that hurt no one and made the world feel a little more magical and mysterious for a while.
