Thank you for posting the link of the video of a crop circle forming.

I see the crop circle forming as well as two white objects circling around as the crop circle forms.

I do not know what these objects are.

The entire crop circle seems to form all at once, not forming as a sequence of parts of the formation.

Assuming that the film wasn't somehow hoaxed, I would say that this is the best evidence presented so far that suggests that at least one crop circle may possibly be of non-human origin.

However, I also keep in mind that amazing things can be done with video editing (just turn on your TV or visit your local movie theater to witness this).

As I am not an expert in video production or editing, I can not say either way whether the video is of a real event, or just a clever video hoax.

Do you think this video is authentic, or do you believe it to be a hoax?

A great post at any rate!

I'm not sure, but if it IS a hoax, it blows away anything that anyone has done to date. Strange that there hasn't been more mention of it in the press, don't you think?

The video is real, the crop circle forming is real, art the white blobs are the people making the crop circle in time lapse photography. They glow because it was filmed using infrared filters (it was filmed at night). You can track down the original source if you try.

Watch it again. There are certain questions about that film.
1 - It's got some fast jitteriness, this is often the sign of a hand held camera and speed up film (time lapsed photography the hard way), also notice we have no for of time signature to indicate how much time has truly ellapsed.
2 - There's no form of physical perspective in the film. We have no idea how large or how far away anything in it is.
3 - The lighting is odd, it's dim like twilight but it doesn't appear to have the long shadows of twilight, again with no time signature also. So not only do we not know how long a period is filmed, we have no idea when it was filmed. IMHO it looks like it could be post production light enhanced night filming.
4 - Notice that the field is being filmed BEFORE the mysterious lights appear. This raises the question of why the person was filming the field in the first place, it looks pretty mundane and featureless, unless you know something interesting is going to happen.

If you watch close you can see a definite progression as the circles get formed, sometimes more than one seems to be made at a time but it's clearly not all at once.

Because of all the lack of certainty in the film the mystery light COULD be UFOs projecting some sort of bending beam. Or it could be two electric lanterns on sticks being used by people to help see what they're doing. Or it could even be light from BEHIND the filmer reflecting off a window (one of the more popular "UFO" films out there is quite clearly the record light of the camcorder reflecting off the window, you can tell because no matter how fast the filmer moves that camera around the light always stays in the same part of the frame).

I looked at this video. I'm not a video expert either, but this is so grainy, etc. Seems quite likely a hoax to me.
