Aliens ... or hoaxers? THE debate continues to rage over the origin of crop circles. Many believe they are simply the work of human hoaxers — while others are c= onvinced they are made by aliens trying to communicate with us. Crop circle enthusiasts insist that some of the designs appear so quickly a= nd on such a vast scale that it is impossible for humans to have made them. = Witnesses even claim to have seen balls of light moving through the fields = on the nights that circles appear. Researchers have found connections between some patterns and symbols from a= ncient religions, mathematics and even music. Crop circles were first spotted in Britain in the early 1970s and now appea= r throughout the world. The weird outlines are still most common in the sout= h of England. Theories about their cause include whirlwinds — known to circle experts as = plasma vortexes — earth energies from ley lines or even forces from the huma= n mind. In the past the circles have also been blamed on mating roe deer, hedgehogs= , helicopters and holes in the ozone layer. Raymond Cox, Chairman of the Centre for Crop Circle Studies, said last nigh= t: "It's a great unsolved mystery. "We know not all crop circles are created by humans but we cannot say for s= ure what is making them." Plus lots of photos ------------------------ Yahoo!
