What do I think about crop circles? No idea! First I just thought it was all wacky. Then I looked into it a bit (probably around 2002). I wound up convinced that they were made by the military (see the ovnis link below). Then I saw Gazecki's awesome film (Crop Circles - Quest for Truth) and was convinced they were some kind of magical spiritual messages from a higher intelligence, then I saw some TV documentary that seemed to debunk them, then looked at circlemakers.org and was convinced they are all man-made hoaxes, then I wasn't so sure, then I read Pinchbeck's 2012 book and became even more unsure (his onsite investigations went back and forth and led to no particular conclusion), and more recently have started leaning back to the military connection, but really not so convinced about any explanation for crop circles. Something might be a little fishy about all this. Or maybe its a little of everything. I don't get so involved in thinking about this anymore, but its still pretty interesting. Finally threw together some links here for anyone who might want to look into the crop circle phenomenon (and for my own use, as I continue to indulge my out-of-control curiosity about everything).

This is a large site, with up-to-date info on all crop circles as they appear.
Also much info on resources - books, DVDs, links, etc.

Another large site.

These people seem to be claiming that all circles are man-made hoaxes, easily
created with ropes and boards. They claim to have created many large, famous
circles, have created many in public, and give detailed instructions.

This page discusses possible military involvement in crop circle creation. This
is from a French book, UFOs - The Military Unmasked, presented in
English on the web here:

From some reason, this logical and well-researched angle is rarely
mentioned anywhere.

Interesting philosophical musing.
