Look at the circle part of the formation. Perhaps there is a message encoded into it, possibly in binary.

I see it! It says "Klaatu birada nicto!"

Let's just say that if it turns out to actually contain a binary encoded message, the formation's authencity would be more certain. As it stands at the moment however, the pattern might just be gibberish intended to look like a binary message...

And, it's not a circle, it's a spiral.

I think it's analog. It's a giant LP. We'll need a diamond about 30' tall, a crane, and some way to spin this thing at 33 1/3 RPM...

Man, when are the aliens going to get with the program and carve CDs instead of LPs? Just how backward is their technology?

New crop circle formation at Winchester, Hampshire. Reported 15th August 2002.

Would anyone like to interpret this one?

CALL ME the next time you or any of your friends 'discover' a crop circle and I will arrive on-scene with appropriate lab equipment equipment in tow to de-bunk this idiocy that EM waves of ANY type radiate or appear from the vicinity of said crop circle.

Can you do that?

Of course not.

I'll NEVER get that call because your side and the 'crop nuts' CAN'T AFFORD to be so completely and totally discredited on this count.

You, and those like you, disregard completely the laws of physics and, for some unknown reason, spread this crap like so much fertilizer unto the fertile and un-discriminating minds of the ignorant ...

Do you do it for the pursuit of truth - or JUST to get your name out there?

*I* think you do it just for the dishonorable purpose of getting your name out there ... practicing a breed of pseudo-science that rivals the bad-acting of the Sierre Club for all intents and purposes!

Well, if I was a judge in a crop circle making contest, I would have to give this one high marks in the "sacred geometry" category.

Hey, just give us your phone number and we'll see what we can arrange. Although I've never personally seen a crop circle, I suppose I could find some people who have..

Can you do that?

Like I said, give us your phone number. Maybe somebody here on FR lives near one that you could go check out..

Of course not.

You COULD always take a trip to the UK _Jim. Flights are cheap these days..

I'll NEVER get that call because your side and the 'crop nuts' CAN'T AFFORD to be so completely and totally discredited on this count.

Why can't I afford it _Jim? And do you really think you could honestly debunk a REAL crop circle?

You, and those like you, disregard completely the laws of physics and, for some unknown reason, spread this crap like so much fertilizer unto the fertile and un-discriminating minds of the ignorant ...

You want to get into a discussion on the Laws of Physics _Jim? That'd be fun.. :)

Do you do it for the pursuit of truth - or JUST to get your name out there?

Uh, yep, the great FormerLurker of FR has his name out there in lights. I can see all of the frontpage stories now..

*I* think you do it just for the dishonorable purpose of getting your name out there ... practicing a breed of pseudo-science that rivals the bad-acting of the Sierre Club for all intents and purposes!

You still do a bad job of ad hominiem there _Jim. Haven't been keeping your skills up to date have you? You should probably go get some practice on the DU(H) board before you try your luck here....

Didn't you get that backwards?

Some crop circle researchers have studied the image and have decoded what they claim to be a binary message:


Doing this for the whole 'disc' we get the message:

"Beware the bearers of FALSE gifts & their BROKEN PROMISES. Much PAIN but still time. (Damaged Word). There is GOOD out there.We OPpose DECEPTION. Conduit CLOSING (BELL SOUND)".

Some commentary on USENET suggests that the message may relate to the rise of Islam and the Jihad against the West

What's it translate to in EBCDIC?

I think that's a song by Alice in Chains.
