The earliest crop circles were discovered in 1647 in England. At that time, people didn't know what it was, so they made a sculpture in the crop circle. This sculpture is people's speculation about the cause of crop circles at that time, when crop circles were counterclockwise.
Crop circles often appear in spring and summer, all over the world, the United States, Australia, Europe, South America and Asia, everywhere. In fact, only two countries in the world have never seen crop circles: China and South Africa.
This circle is getting bigger and more complex, and gradually evolved into a geometric figure, which is called "hieroglyphics sent by aliens to the earth" by some British astrophysicists. For example, in May 1990, a circle with a diameter of 20 meters appeared in a wheat field in Ashton, Hampshire, England, and the wheat in the circle formed a clockwise spiral pattern. There are four other "satellite" circles with a diameter of 6 meters around, but the spiral in the circle is counterclockwise.
1991July 17, when a British helicopter pilot was flying over the wheat field under Barberis Castle near swinton, he suddenly found an equilateral triangle in the wheat field. There was a big bilateral circle in the triangle and a small circle at each corner.
On July 30th, 199 1, a strange fish pattern appeared in a farmland near Lockridge Town, Wade County. In the following month, seven other similar patterns appeared in the region.
However, what shocked the world most was the strange circle of farmland discovered in Barneys, alton, a small village in Weedy, England, on July 190. More than 10000 people visited this strange farmland circle, including many scientists. This huge figure is 120 meters long and consists of circles and claw-like drawings. Several astrophysicists expressed their feelings after visiting. They think that this strange circle is definitely not man-made, and it is probably information from outer space.
Scientists who have seen UFO photos believe that the spiral pattern of wheat falling to the ground is very similar to the pattern formed by UFO rolling.
199 1 On June 4th, 2000, six scientists, led by Mike Cali and David Morgenstein, waited at the command post on Morgan Peak near Dewey Seth Town, Weed County, England, staring at a row of TV screens, hoping to record a process that has never been recorded: the formation of crop circles.
Their expedition was equipped with high-tech night observation instruments, video recorders and directional microphones, with a total value of 654.38+ million pounds. Their "mast-type" TV camera is installed on the arm 2 1 meter long, which gives them a broad field of vision. They chose to scout this area because this area has already become the research object of other researchers who study crop circles. In just a few months, more than a dozen crop circles of different sizes have frequently appeared in this area, which has aroused the strong interest of researchers.
They waited for more than 20 days and saw nothing unusual on the screen. In the early morning of June 29, a dense fog landed directly above the wheat field being monitored by researchers. Although they can't see anything in the fog, they have been moving the camera.
At 6 o'clock in the morning, the fog began to dissipate, and two strange circles appeared in the wheat field. The six researchers were amazed and immediately ran down the mountain to observe carefully. They found that the wheat in the two circles was completely squashed and turned into a completely clockwise vortex shape. Although the straw was bent, it did not break, and the wheat outside the pen was not affected at all.
In order to prevent anyone from cheating, the detection team hid several ultra-sensitive motion detectors on the edge of the wheat field. Anything that passes through their infrared rays will trigger the alarm, but the alarm didn't go off all night. On the muddy ground of the wheat field, there are no footprints or other signs that can indicate that someone has entered the wheat field. The videotape and the audio tape didn't record any clues, and the two circles seemed to have unknown origins.
Pat delgado is a meteorologist and geologist. He began to study crop circles from 198 1. He believes that these circles are created by "some earth energy that cannot be explained by current science". It's like a recurring miracle in the Bermuda Triangle.
He recorded many "incredible events" that happened in the circle. He found that some normal electronic devices such as cameras and radios suddenly failed after entering the circle. He once recorded a few strange buzzes, which he described as "electronic sparrows".
1989 One summer day, delgado and six friends were sitting in the middle of a strange round farmland in a small town near Winchester, England. "Suddenly, I was completely helpless and was pushed out of the 6-meter circle by some mysterious force." He thinks that this force is probably related to the magnetic pole of the earth.
Since 1980s, Terrence Miden, editor of British Meteorological Journal and retired professor of physics, has studied more than 1000 crop circles and made statistics on more than 2,000 crop circles, hoping to find a scientific explanation. Now, he thinks he may have found the answer.
He thinks that the real crop circles are caused by rotating charged air. This air mass is called "plasma vortex" and is formed by slight atmospheric disturbance, such as the wind blowing over hills. "The wind rushed into the still air on the other side of the mountain and formed a spiral air column," he explained. "Then, air and electricity are sucked into this rotating airflow, forming a small whirlwind. When this vortex touches the ground, it will flatten crops and make spiral patterns appear on farmland. "
To support his argument, Milton collected many eyewitness reports about the creation of crop circles by eddies. For example:1990 May 17, in a wheat field in Hampton Town, Surrey, England, Gary Tomlinson, a farmer, and his wife Wei Liwen walked slowly along the path. Suddenly, a fog came from the mountain about 100 meters high. After a few seconds, they felt a powerful whirlwind pushing them from the side and above. It pressed them like the top of Mount Tai, making them creepy. Later, the whirlwind seemed to split into two strands, while the fog meandered away, leaving them standing in a 3-meter-wide crop circle.
However, Milton's argument may only explain those simple crop circles, but how to explain those complicated ones? A whirlwind will never blow out the key and the heart. 1991August 13 A huge heart-shaped pattern appeared in a remote wheat field in Cambridgeshire, England. There is also a saying that crop circles are the product of thinking. 199 1 One day in August, an engineer with a sixth sense and his wife were driving home from Oxford along the A34 highway. His wife said, "I really hope we can find a crop circle ourselves." No sooner had they left the mouth than they found a dumbbell-shaped farmland circle in the field near the roadside. However, no second example has been found so far. With the emergence of agricultural land strange circle phenomenon, a new cottage industry is emerging and in the ascendant. At present, nearly 20 books on this phenomenon have been published. In addition, people who are keen on crop circles can also buy videos, color photos, postcards and key chains that introduce these graphics. This flexible travel agency even set up some "farmland strange circle visiting groups" to wave to tourists.
However, from a scientific point of view, the phenomenon of agricultural land strange circle has not been satisfactorily explained so far. Like UFOs, this may be a problem that scientists have to overcome!

The pattern of crop circles is complex and abstruse. From the beginning, there are only a few circles criss-crossing, and sometimes there are cobwebs, sometimes there are long-tailed scorpions with a length of 180 meters, flowers with a diameter of more than 100 meters, and even a big car, geometric patterns, cosmic galaxy maps, ancient Chinese characters and even hepatitis bacteria patterns. This is quite puzzling. The strangest thing is that the patterns of crop circles are all symmetrical to each other, which makes people question who has such a large measuring equipment and can make crop circles as big as several stadiums overnight.
At present, there are several crop circles reported every year in Europe, mostly near some ancient ruins and ancient tombs such as the famous British stone pillars. Is it possible that crop circles also have hobbies? It is puzzling that crop circles often appear from late at night to four in the morning when wheat is ripe. Many scientists carefully observed the wheat in crop circles and found that they were very layered. They began to bend and fell about half to two inches from the ground. In addition, there is no trace of wheat being broken, but there are abnormal changes in the growth direction of plants and some chemical changes in the stems. To farmers' delight, the crushed wheat can grow horizontally, and the yield will increase by 40%.
The conjecture of crop circles
It is said that many places where crop circles appear will also have UFOs. Therefore, some people think that crop circles are the imprint of intelligent life outside the earth, and hope that human beings on the earth will digest these messages with the same high wisdom; Others think that people with strange powers on earth want to communicate with outer space through crop circles. In fact, all kinds of scientists have tried to explain the formation of mysterious crop circles: meteorologists estimate that it may be caused by cyclones or lightning, geographers say it is caused by some kind of magnetic field under the stratum, and some even think it is a man-made prank, but all these explanations are unconvincing.
In Britain, farmers can be traced back several generations, when simple circular patterns appeared in wheat fields. The mysterious circle patterns in these wheat fields were first reported by the British media in the early 1980s. In the 1990s, crop circles shocked people all over the world, because these mysterious circle patterns changed from simple figures to beautiful patterns with huge area, profound geometry and complexity! Crop circles are a global phenomenon, and a surprising number of new patterns appear everywhere every year. In short, the eyes of the world are focused on the southern part of England, where the largest number of people appear, and also on the vicinity of ancient civilization sites, such as Stonehenge, Avebury (a village in Wiltshire, England, with Neolithic sites such as spherical chalk pit walls nearby) and Silbury Mountain (the largest prehistoric man-made mountain in Europe).
Although these mysterious circle patterns have been made or appeared in various ways for a long time, there is still no strong and complete explanation. How did these circle patterns appear? However, more convincing evidence is: several real videos taken when mysterious circle patterns appear in the wheat field. The picture shows several mysterious little balls of light or white light in the wheat field! Many of these mysterious light balls appear in many videos; At the same time, it also appears in some videos with clear pictures taken during the day. These mysterious light balls obviously show regular direction and intelligent moving mode. Can this allow us to associate the mysterious ball of light with crop circles?
Plant samples from wheat fields are also used in scientific experiments. This work was done by American biologist Dr. William Livinggood. He pointed out that similar microwave energy effect may be one of the reasons for the formation of crop circles. Investigators in the mysterious circle of wheat fields need to use more creativity and imagination in their investigation and research work. Some researchers use meditation, light and music to test patterns, and crop circles seem to be related to human brain waves. These models clearly let us know that we live in a world beyond our imagination and complexity.
Some people say that the rolling fields in England are the most magical places, because there are many puzzling phenomena there: the most famous is the mysterious crop circles.
It is said that the earliest crop circles were discovered in 1647 in England. The wheat fields that were originally brushed together turned into a huge geometric picture overnight. Because the "strange circle" was mostly formed overnight, and the area was very large, at first many people thought it was a masterpiece of aliens and a way for them to contact the residents on earth. At present, around the world, there are about 250 strange circles with different patterns every year, especially in southern England.
The frequent occurrence of crop circles has also attracted more and more curious hunters. Greg Presley is one of them. He thinks crop circles are mostly man-made.
Greg Presley, crop circle researcher: "I first walked into crop circles in 1990. I like mysterious things. I just said, "well, I'll solve this problem. "In my opinion, 95% of crop circles are man-made."
Some young people don't hide their behavior of creating crop circles. Matthew is one of them. He called their crop circles "creative works of art".
Matthew, the maker of crop circles: "This is a creative art". Because when people see crop circles, they will say that it is a masterpiece of aliens, and we find it very interesting. Different creative teams also compete with each other to see who has the best design and can create the most sensational effect. "
However, Matthew said that there is also a problem in creating crop circles, that is, not all farmers are willing to turn their wheat fields into "canvases" manipulated by artists at will.
Presley, a crop circle researcher, believes that although not all similar phenomena can be explained by human resources, researchers do not agree that some people describe crop circles and other wonderful phenomena as "disaster warnings" to spread heresy. They believe that neither man-made "artistic creation" nor the contact information of aliens has anything to do with the disaster.
There is a crop circle research center in Britain with more than 1000 members. The current chairman is Mike, a former antiquities inspector of the British Heritage Foundation. Green. He said: "It seems that the people who make these circles must be very intelligent. Maybe it is trying to communicate with us with these strange graphics. Maybe humans should reach out and touch them. They are very similar to UFOs. "

Crop circles seek the truth
Crop circles most often appear in Wiltshire, England, where there is the famous baimashan. There have been at least three crop circles in baimashan. Not far from here stands another symbol of ancient Britain-Stonehenge, which was built in 3000 BC. Many people think that Stonehenge and crop circles convey the same message.
199 1 The huge crop circle near Stonehenge in July is very complicated, which is composed of three geometric figures. The combination of several circles in the crop circle is very similar to the Celtic cross. Celtic is a native of northern Europe, and some scholars believe that they built the world-famous Stonehenge 5000 years ago. In fact, many crop circles are similar to religious patterns.
Crop circles shocked Britain
This amazing secret was revealed in a batch of MI5 documents published recently by the British National Archives during World War II. According to the document, during World War II, a large number of "ground signs" of unknown origin began to appear in wheat fields and corn fields in southern England.
A document named "Investigation Case of Ground Traces" shows that in May of 1940, the pilot found strange traces on the ground in North Newquay, Cornwall, and took photos. After studying the photos, it is found that these traces are regularly accumulated by agricultural lime. In May, 194 1, an unusual mark, about 30 meters long, appeared in the corn field of Monmouth County, which seemed to be a capital letter' g'. On June 1943, near Kent, the pilot saw a huge white circle on the ground.
There are also mysterious signs all over Europe.
According to reports, these "ground signs" of unknown origin made the British intelligence department at that time in the war face an enemy. According to the published documents, when David Petrie was appointed as the director of MI5 in 194 1, he was ordered to investigate this. It is said that in order to find out the truth, MI5 not only made unannounced visits to many farmers and air force officials all over Britain, but also conducted investigations in close cooperation with its allies.
To the shock of MI5, almost at the same time, similar mysterious signs appeared all over Europe. The document reads: "Poland, the Netherlands, France and Belgium keep reporting that strange signs have been found in the local area-such as painting roofs and white chimneys with special colors, or splicing linen into special patterns." What shocked MI5 investigators most was the information provided by the Polish allied forces. It is said that there used to be a large cornfield with a diameter of about 20 meters in Poland.

Solve the mystery of crop circles
On May 9, 2006, Xinhua News Agency sent a telegram from Urumqi, which read as follows:
"Zhang Hui, an assistant researcher studying mysterious science in Xinjiang Museum, made a comparative study of more than 20 giant stone tombs in Qinghe, Xinjiang and crop circles around the world, and thought that stone tombs and crop circles have the same shape.
"Crop circles, considered as mysterious phenomena, refer to regular giant patterns caused by various unknown reasons. Because they mainly appear in wheat fields, they are called crop circles. According to reports, there are currently more than 2,000 crop circles in the world, and their patterns are single circles, or chains composed of circles, or other combinations of geometric figures and lines, such as dumbbells, crescent moons, wheels, etc., which have appeared in Britain, Russia, Australia and other places.
"According to the crop circle pattern released by the International Crop Circle Research Center, Zhang Hui compared it with the outline map of the stone pile tomb and found its consistency. He further inferred that it was possible that the stone tomb was built according to the crop circle pattern.
At the same time, Zhang Hui also collected the outlines of various stone tombs in Xinjiang and other places. The results show that they are consistent with various crop circle models. "
When forwarding this telegram, some newspapers said:
"Crop circles were discovered by the British in 1983: there were no footprints around crop circles, and the straw in the circle fell down because of bending, but it was not broken. It can be concluded that it was not pressed out with your feet. There are unusual changes in the growth direction of plants in the circle. There is a trace of radiation in the crop circle soil, and the wheat harvest not only increases ... It was once said that a crop circle was formed with your own eyes in 3 seconds, and nothing appeared nearby. There are more and more crop circles in the world, and the patterns range from small simple circles in the early days to large complex patterns in recent years, such as geometric maps, animals, ancient Chinese characters, galaxy maps, chaotic mathematical maps, hepatitis and bacteria maps, etc ... All kinds of analysis show that crop circles are instantly produced under strong energy, which hides mathematical, chemical and molecular scientific information and becomes a mystery. "
Now let's investigate the ins and outs of crop circles and see if it is a mysterious phenomenon.
Crop circles are large geometric patterns that indicate the present fields. They mainly appear in the wheat fields from April to August, and are mainly round, hence the name. Most of them are concentrated in the south of England, especially Wiltshire and Hampshire. Some British farmers claim that they have noticed this phenomenon for a long time, even since ancient times. However, according to the evidence, what caught the media's attention was that in 1980, it quickly became the research object of "mysterious scientists" and was regarded as a great evidence that aliens came to the earth. Some people think that crop circles were formed when alien UFOs landed, while others think that they were deliberately created by aliens to express some information. Some people who claim to be experts claim that the soil in crop circles is radioactive, but the actual measurement shows that the amount of radiation in the soil is not higher than the normal level. Some people also published their research results in magazines that study mysterious phenomena, claiming the crop circle model. Crop circle patterns are becoming more and more exquisite, complex, huge and meaningful. Crop circle pattern. The "crystal structure" of wheat straw has changed in crop circles, but instead of using the research methods of modern biology, they used the alchemy method invented by Sir Digby, a philosopher in the 7th century. He had many strange inventions, such as applying medicine to swords instead of wounds.
Some people with scientific minds try to explain the formation of crop circles scientifically and put forward various theories, such as wind, animals, heat, cyclone, ball lightning, plasma and so on. Some meteorologists attribute the formation of crop circles to an extremely rare natural phenomenon "plasma cyclone", which has been debated in the international academic journal Meteorology. Its editor-in-chief, Dr. Terrence Miden, is the main advocate of this theory, and published a book "Circle Effect and Its Mystery" in 1989. Crop circles discovered in the 1980s are all simple in shape, either round or pentagonal, which can barely be explained as nature. However, after entering the 1990s, as if to play a joke on Dr. Miden, the crop circles became more and more complicated, such as oval, triangle, complex circle, irregular pattern and hieroglyphics ... At first, Miden wanted to modify his theory to explain it, but in the end he had to admit that his theory could only explain those simple numbers, and most crop circles were artificial pranks.
Before Middleton admitted it, someone had stepped forward to take responsibility. 199 1 In September, when crop circles became important news and even caused panic in Britain, Doug Bauer and Dave Jolly announced that they had done all crop circles that were widely reported by the media and performed live. This incident is called "Doug and David" incident. Doug said frankly, "I've always been interested in UFOs and UFOs, so I want them to land." 1978 One night in the summer, Doug and David were walking in a field in Hampshire, talking about UFOs. Doug, from Melbourne, Australia, remembers 1966 that someone claimed to have seen a flying saucer rising from a round grass nest in a swamp in Queensland, Australia. He pointed to the nearby wheat field and said to David, "How about we make a nest there?" People will think that the UFO landed there. "They opened the door with their hands, feet and a four-foot metal bar and drew the first crop circle in the cornfield in Hampshire. Since then, they have made about 250 crop circles.
Advocates of mysterious phenomena will certainly not stop there. They said that Doug and David were instructed by the British government to commit perjury to calm the panic caused by crop circles. Real crop circles cannot be made by people, and "experts" can also distinguish mysterious crop circles from forged crop circles. In order to test the level of these "experts", some people asked reporters to testify, made crop circles, and then announced the accidental discovery of crop circles. Self-appointed crop circle "experts" followed. After research, they announced that it was mysteriously formed! Even if there is such a scandal, it does not prevent many people from firmly believing in the authenticity of crop circles, and some people take it as their profession. The name "International Crop Circles Research Center" quoted by Zhang Hui sounds scary, but it is actually such a pheasant institution. Some township governments in southern England also continue to play up the mystery of crop circles intentionally or unintentionally, so as to attract tourists and increase tourism income.
The confessions of Doug and David undoubtedly inspired many people, and a large number of imitators appeared in secret. Since 199 1, crop circles have been discovered in Europe, Asia, North America, South America and Australia. Among the major countries in the world, only China and South Africa have not found crop circles. Are aliens dismissive of these two countries, or do these two countries not engage in this kind of prank art? The number of crop circles has increased dramatically, and thousands are found every year. After years of practice and secret competition, patterns have become more and more exquisite, complex, huge and meaningful. For example, on June 1996 and 17, a crop circle with a double helix pattern appeared in alton Barnes, alton, England. On July 29th of the same year, a giant crop circle with a length of 465,438+000 feet was discovered in Wiltshire.
No matter how the advocates of mysterious phenomena worship and explain these crop circles, it is obvious that someone secretly made them in the middle of the night and someone was caught red-handed. Others simply regard making crop circles as a kind of performance art and become artists who openly take it as their profession. John Lund Berg of London is one of the most famous. As early as 1990, before Doug and David confessed, lundberg had secretly made crop circles without a teacher. His early attempts were rather crude. As he gradually got the hang of it, his crop circles became more and more exquisite and even amazing, which really became an art. Lundberg will often make crop circles for the media in the future, but he will continue to make mysterious crop circles in secret to fool "mysterious scientists". Tools and methods for making crop circles. In the summer of 1995, he set up a special website (http://www.circlemakers.org/) to introduce the art of making crop circles, collected all kinds of crop circle patterns made by them and others, and even taught everyone how to make crop circles. The tool he used was a 4-foot-long and 2-foot-wide wooden board, both ends of which were tied with ropes to form a trap; A 2-foot-long wooden stick used to fix the center of the circle; A rope with one end tied to this stick. When making, the pedal and the drag plate overwhelm the wheat, and the string is kept at a fixed distance from the center of the circle, gradually forming a circle. According to his teaching method, everyone can make a big crop circle in three or four hours after practice. I don't know how many people learned from lundberg, but now the production level of crop circles is getting higher and higher.
The lesson is that if we think we have discovered a "mysterious phenomenon", we should do some investigation before trying our best to explain it mysteriously or scientifically. Does this mysterious phenomenon really exist? Do you really need an explanation? Probably, like crop circles, it's just a prank.
June 2008 19 supplement
British scientists have recently uncovered the most complicated mystery of crop circles-it describes the most important number in mathematics-π.
The most complicated crop circles in Britain were formed in the wheat fields near Babris Castle earlier this month. Barberis Castle is located in Wiltshire, England.
At first, many crop circle lovers and experts tried to uncover the meaning of this crop circle, but almost all failed.
However, astrophysicist Mike Reid said that this crop circle with a diameter of 1.50 meters is actually a coded form of pi. π value 3. 14 1592654 ... can be used to calculate the area and circumference of a circle.
Reed explained, "I noticed a photo of crop circles in Babris Castle. Obviously, it is a coded picture with 10 after the decimal point, which represents pi-the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of a circle. The number 10 has even been appropriately removed. The point near the center is actually the decimal point of pi. "
He went on to say: "Starting from the center, the number of color blocks in each group is calculated, and the result clearly shows the value of pi after decimal point 10."
Researchers believe that the creators of crop circles in Babris Castle should be professional astronomers and mathematicians.
Experts suggest that this latest crop circle is the local solar eclipse landscape, and this solar eclipse spectacle will appear on August 1 day this year.
The most complicated crop circle in Britain, with a diameter of 150m.
Read clockwise from the icon "start" on the black center edge (including the decimal point) until the blue color block before the ellipsis, and the number of each color block corresponds to the value of π 3. 14 1592654.
The most complicated crop circle in Britain, with a diameter of 150m.
Netease Exploration reported on June 18 According to the Daily Mail reported on June 18, British astrophysicists have recently cracked one of the most complicated crop circles in Britain, which is the top ten coded graphics of pi.
At the beginning of June, this strange pattern with a diameter of 150m was found in Barberis Castle in Wiltshire, England. At first, crop circle lovers were puzzled by the meaning of the picture, and even many experts thought it was "incredible".
Mike Reid, a retired astrophysicist, saw this photo and associated this pattern with mathematics. He said that the wheat field pattern in Babri clearly showed the top ten pi (3. 14 1592654).
Reed said that looking at the photos, we can see that the pattern represents the top ten digits of pi, and the tenth digit is rounded appropriately (editor's note: 3. 14 1592654, and the last digit "4" is in 3. 14 159265359. The origin near the center is the decimal point. Coding is based on ten angular segments, and radial diffusion represents each segment.
