Crop Circles & Advertising
Crop circles continue to get the attention of the media and the public. Even though some of them are known to be man made, they are a great source of advertising. People with land are paid big money to allow these types of advertisements to take place. Sometimes the crop circle is made as a logo of the product or to have words that are a direct source of advertising for the company.
The list of companies that have used the crop circle theme for their advertising is longer than you might think. Most people readily associate with the soft drink Pepsi and the brand of shoes known as Nike. These are elaborate ways to make money that include taking something that people are interested in already. They goal is to get them to associate their product with the crop circles as well.
Crop circle advertising is very expensive though so it is a ploy that commonly is reserved for those businesses that are already in the public eye. They often have competitors that are breathing down their throats as well though. For example Pepsi is always neck and neck with Coca Cola so finding a way to get an advantage has to be found.
You will find plenty of different cartoons, comedies, feature films, and documentaries that have references to crop circles in them as well. They really seem to get a great deal of exposure in our society. Even though most of them are known to be man made, they are still elaborate designs that people want to know more about.
The mystery that surrounds those that can’t be identified as many made are even more spectacular. They add a sense of disbelief that is certainly part of advertising to the public. There are many different ways in which crop circles have been promoted over the years though. If you aren’t interested in crop circles you may not have picked up on many of them that you have been exposed to.
Crop circles are very often used to create advertising for the phenomenon in science fiction movies. In order to give the full effect of it, many of these films go to elaborate lengths to get the crop circles created. They have even contacted individuals that have admitted being part of crop circle designs around the world to take care of this part of the production for them.
Crop Circles
Crop circles have definitely created some attention due to their unknown origins in many cases. These are circles and design patterns that show up in various crops around the world. Most people remember the movie Signs with Mel Gibson that includes creatures from another world leaving messages in their crops. There is definitely a science fiction side to crop circles. Since many of them can’t be explained it is believed that they were put there by other species from other planets trying to communicate with us.
There have been instances of crop circles around the world since the early 1700’s and still there is no definitely answer for how some of them form. Some of these accounts come with eyewitnesses stating that they saw a flying saucer or alien beings in the area right before the crop circles were formed. This has resulted in their crops being destroyed, and even clauses in insurance polices for crop circles state they don’t cover the cost of such phenomenon.
There has been plenty of research in the area of crop circles. Some of them have been found to be elaborate hoaxes by man in order to gain attention. Others are made on purpose as a type of advertising that is quite creative in nature. Still, there are plenty of incidents of crop circles that simply can’t be explained even by the experts. To date more than 12,000 sightings of crop circles have been recorded and evaluated. At least 80% of crop circles have been identified as man made.
Some individuals have come forward over the years to implicate themselves and others in the process of making crop circles. They have given detailed accounts of why they did it, the locations, and the equipment they used to create the designs. They have also explained that the crop circle designs have become more complicated over time as people want to see more than just basic circles to capture their attention.
This leads critics to think that all of them are but that some of the crop circles are just more elaborate in their development. As a result they continue to be a topic of debate among people. Some believe there is a logical answer to crop circles while others firmly believe alien forces are trying to contact us.
Crop Circle Creators
Even with all of the hype about aliens making crop circles, almost all of them have been found to be made by man. Some individuals have come forward over the years to take credit for many of them. These elaborate hoaxes gained plenty of attention from their early discoveries and so they continued to make them. The two best known crop circle creators are Doug Bower and Dave Chorley.
For more than 20 years they were involved in various types of crop circles creations, making them more elaborate than the ones before. They began placing their creations in areas where people would be able to see them from the roads. At first these crop circle designs were explained away so they had to make more detailed ones to gain attention. Ironically, it was the attention from their wives that lead to them becoming public with the information. Both men were in jeopardy of losing their marriages as their wives thought they were out at night cheating on them.
From the information gathered about crop circles, it is known that they can be made from basic types of equipment including rope, wire, and planks. This is why there is no evidence of equipment in the area such as machinery that would leave behind tracks. A basic circle that is approximately 40 feet wide can be done in about 15 minutes, so it is possible to make highly effective crop circle creations in a single evening.
What is to explain the other 20% of crop circles though that can’t be proven to be made by man? Is it that they are just more elaborate in their designs and more creative with the equipment they use to avoid detection? Or does it mean that the creators of these crop circles are from another world? Some of the earlier ones from the 1700’s still haven’t been explained.
The fact that there wasn’t the technology to use to make them that there is today may be a key to determining they aren’t man made. However, with so many of them being disproved as work from outer space most researchers just don’t place very much merit in this concept.
UFO
Do Unidentified Flying Objects, commonly known as UFO’s exist? The answer to this really depends on who ask in our society. They issue has long been investigated and there are rumors of cover ups even by our own government. There are plenty of rumors out there that the United States government hides the discovery of aliens and their spaceships from the rest of the world. They have locations where they take detailed looks at the bodies and the space crafts though.
Some people believe there are clear explanations of what people see. They are airplanes, satellites, and even hoaxes that other people are a part of in order to generate a buzz about it. Thousands of pictures can be found in books and websites that people have taken and believe to be of UFO’s.
There are numerous stories though about people that have been abducted by UFO’s and then returned unharmed. These people believe that they have been studied by the aliens but not harmed. The scenario is often the same such as the car going at very slow speeds, the aliens doing various experiments on them, and then being returned from the UFO to the location of their cars.
The fact that many of these recorded instances take place along stretches of the roads where crop circles have been found further fuel the desire people have to find out if UFO’s exist. Those that have been through such an experience firmly believe that it is real. However, they find comfort that they don’t have any reason to fear the aliens as they were kind.
The debate over the existence of UFO’s is one that will continue to go on until we know for sure. The fact that so many people believe their existence is being hidden may indicate that there is plenty more known about life on other planets than we have been told about. We only have access to the information the government wants to share with us. They can classify anything they want as top secret to keep it from getting attention publicly.
There have been plenty of accounts of individuals in the military that have talked on their death beds about what they know. They have recanted their public statements about various UFO sightings over the years. They want the public to know the whole truth and at that point they have nothing left to hide it from. All of this makes for some very interesting theories and thoughts about UFO’s.
Crop Circle Designs
The various designs of crop circles have really gathered the attention of people for centuries. They are fascinated with the thought that extraterrestrial beings could be responsible for the work. If so, what is it that they are attempting to say with these various designs?
While most of them are circular in shape not all of them are. The dimensions are usually very symmetrical giving the indication that someone would have to use machinery to make them if they are man made. Yet there aren’t any tracks showing equipment brought in to the area or out of it, just the crop circle designs.
Even so, all but 20% of crop circle designs have shown indicators that they are indeed man made. Some of them have been part of hoaxes to draw tourists to the area. Others are part of advertising ploys to get people interested in various other products they have to offer. Knowing this, it has really put a damper on the credibility of the crop circles that are believed to be made from some other source.
The best way to view a complete crop circle design is from the air. This way an image of the entire thing can be taken and viewed. There are believed to be various types of symbols used in physics, science, and math found in them as well. Some of them are very detailed and can even be found in 3-D forms. The complexity of some of these crop circle designs is definitely fascinating. Yet those that do make crop circles learn from those before them and continue to make them even more complex.
You can take a look online at some of the different crop circle designs out there around the world. You can also find out information about those that have been identified as man made and those that are still in question. The size and dimension of these crop circles is something to take a look at as well. How do you explain those areas where the crops were fine one day and the next morning more than 100 miles of the crops are involved in these elaborate designs? It is hard to believe even with equipment this could all take place overnight.
