Maths and Geometry in Crop Circles

Many crop formations carry real mathematics. Some encode numbers. Some draw fractals that need a computer to plot. These are the clearest examples in the Crop Signals catalogue. Fractals A fractal is a shape that repeats itself at every scale. Several of the highest rated signals are fractals. Numbers and constants Sound Cymatics is the […]

The Possible Technology Behind Crop Circles

If some crop circles are made by a higher intelligence, how are they made? A handful of formations seem to answer that question themselves. They look like diagrams of a device and the process it uses. This post walks through them in order. 2000. The signal device diagram On 10 July 2000 a formation appeared […]

Why Old Records of Crop Circles Are So Rare

If crop circles are a real phenomenon, why are there so few records of them before the 1970s? Folklore mentions them, but written accounts are scarce. Here are some possible reasons. Lost and destroyed records For much of the medieval period, writing that touched on the supernatural could be treated as heresy. Books were burned […]

Construction Lines and Imperfections in Crop Circles

Sceptics often point to construction lines and mistakes in formations as proof that people made them. The argument is that a higher intelligence would need no guide lines and would make no errors. It is a fair point. It also rests on assumptions worth testing. Construction lines The claim. Guide lines show that people made […]

Contact Through Crops Is Out Now

The Crop Signals book, Contact Through Crops, is out now. It asks whether crop circles are art, hoaxes or messages from a higher intelligence. It looks closely at the strongest formations, including the hydrogen signature, the Arecibo response, the DNA disc and the device series. The book argues that there are two kinds of formation. […]
