I caught the other one on TLC:

Network: The Learning Channel
Series: Crop Circles: In Search of a Sign
Episode: Crop Circles: In Search of a Sign
On Air: Dates & Times
For twenty years, crop circles appeared with increasing frequency in crops around the world. Hoaxers stepped forward, but how could they create so many complex circles? Follow scientists, astronomers, and archaeologists as they examine crop circles.

Crop Circles: In Search of a Sign

Inspite of what the blurb says this was leaned heavily towards the "mystic" explaination (well it spent time on mostof the odd ball explanations). They talked to a hoaxer (as well as Doug and Dave) who refuses to take credit (says the mystery is part of the art) and claims to have been buzzed by lights while making circles. All of the people were a little strange IMHO.

I just saw the TLC program Crop Circles: In Search of a Sign

There were a few things in the TV show that I took note of:

1. Even Doug and Dave admit that they got the idea of hoaxing crop circles from a still unxplained crop circle found in Australia.

2. There was more real-time video footage of the strange glowing "lights" that seem to accompany some crop circles.

3. As far as the mathematical relationship to the circles goes, one researcher claimed that a NEW Euclidean? theorem had been derived from the crop circles (I'm no expert on mathematics, so someone else would have to confirm this).

4. The researchers also claimed a relationship between the crop circles and music.

5. Researchers claimed that there was a relationship between Stonehenge and crop circles. I think what they were getting at in that case was that maybe whoever built Stonehenge and similar circular rock formations did so in commemoration of crop circles that they had seen.

Overall the show was interesting and thanks again to discostu for posting the airdate and channel of the program.
