Crop circles - the truth is out there!

[Road Runner]

Here in the UK there has been yet another story about crop circles  -  we get at least one every summer.

Anyway for those that don't know about them  -  they are patterns made in fields usually of wheat, barley, or oats,
that are supposedly made by aliens visiting the earth.
Here's the latest story:-  Fox News  (I chose this as it had the best pictures!)

So would anyone like to explain to me why aliens would want to travel billions of miles (or kilometers)
across space just to draw pretty patterns in a field?

It just seems a total waste of technology, time and effort for something that will only last a few days.

Maybe the aliens have a strange sense of humour or maybe there are alien tourists backpacking their way around the universe.

Whoever did it was very skillful anyway, considering that was done overnight!

Some sad farmer in need of his '15 minutes' hires a couple of students...

Documentaries on crop circles or mystics and re-runs of My Favorite Martian... the staple TV diet of any self respecting insomniac!

We all deserve our '15 minutes' of celebrity in life
Who was that said that..Andy Warhol??

Cool! They are skillful to make them so precisely.

Pity that you need an helicopter to see them

I thought Led Zeppelin invented them for one of their album covers and the farmers liked the patterns

What I want to know is why aliens discriminate against Thailand?

I have never seen a story of a crop circle in a rice field! Probably too hot here for them!
