Crop Circles and Scientific Thinking

Idea: Rule out as much crop circle theories as possible.

For example,

Government tries to cover

Government creates these and tries to cover up

Timing:

  • We know that the government tries to create distractions
  • We know the first ones were in 1678, 1880, 1966 (saw UFO just before)
  • Lots in 1970s
  • Increased complexity in 1980s onward
  • Peak complexity and popularity in 1990 and 2000s
  • In 1991, 2 people claimed to have created lots of them
  • 30 per year on average, but varies greatly

Location:

  • First 2 reported in England, third one in Australia
  • Has spread more globally since 1980s (or just reported more?)
  • Has been reported in 50 countries
  • Mostly in Wiltshire, England
