[QUOTE="Irkle Berserkle, post: 76493641, member: 440843"] Odd how these subjects so quickly take on the tenor of a religious debate. For the record, I have been a longtime member of the American Society for Psychical Research, the (British) Society for Psychical Research, and numerous other professional and popular organizations dealing with anomalous phenomena. I have published in these areas, which are indeed broad and multi-faceted. And you are ... who? Yes, many crop circles are manmade. No one disputes this. As I stated, duplicating the phenomenon quickly evolved into a game, a sport and an art form. The telltale signs are typically quite obvious. I largely lost interest in the field when the silliness overwhelmed serious study of the core phenomenon. Those who Don't Know What They Are Talking About play the familiar game of extrapolating from the circles that can be explained to any and all circles. I don't really care - I don't have the quasi-religious emotional investment in the authenticity of the circles that debunkers seem to have in insisting they are all manmade. The fact is that there is a core phenomenon that defies mundane explanation. The fact is, credible witnesses have reported anomalous phenomena such as light orbs being associated with the formation of circles. The fact is, circles have appeared in locations and circumstance where "Doug and Dave with a roll of twine and some boards" simply isn't a plausible explanation. [/QUOTE]
