crop circles
by Richard Metzger - March 04, 2001

Why is it that the subject of Crop Circles seems only to be covered in places like Fortean Times magazine and TV shows like Sightings and Strange Universe? In Japan, the topic is taken very seriously (as it should be) and each new formation is covered on the 6 o'clock news . . .

But back in the good old USA, because of a few poorly constructed hoaxes, the media would have you believe that the whole issue is the preoccupation of nut cases . . .

The facts are this: They are appearing in wheat fields overnight, it would take an army of people to be able to pull one of these things off yet there is never a sign of any human or animal tracks and the wheat is not trampled or damaged at all, it's usually gently braided and the circles are incredibly perfect in their geometric formations! How the hell can they explain that? They can't is the answer and that's why they don't want you speculating about it either . . .

I mean, what are you, a wacko or somethin'? Who or What is trying to tell us something through the formations? What are they trying to say? How can we decode the messages?
