It must be that everyone has already heard about such an unusual phenomenon as crop circles, which occur on their own in the most mysterious circumstances. They were first discovered about thirty years ago, and since then this topic has been unquenchable in popularity. There are many theories of the origin of these drawings. Read the most interesting and unexpected of them in this article.
Detection
Crop circles were discovered in England in 1972 by two UFO hunters - Bruce Bond and Arthur Shuttlewood. They noticed that on the field near them the ears began to bend spontaneously, forming an even circle.
Since then, these drawings began to appear in many other countries - France, Holland, Germany, Russia, Japan, Canada. To date, more than nine thousand such images have been recorded.
They even came up with a science that studies these phenomena - cereology (Ceres - the goddess of fertility in ancient Rome).
Causes
There are a huge number of assumptions and conjectures about this. Creating circles is not attributed to anyone - from UFOs to ants and even urchins. Many people tend to think that the decoding of crop circles lies in the influence of natural forces, for example, tornadoes or the destruction of the ozone layer. Among the reasons are called the results of the action of some unknown fields so far - energy or information.
A rather entertaining fact is that crop circles most often appear on the energy lines of the Earth or in the area of places of power: in England, for example, these places are Druid mounds and ancient settlements.
On the other hand, as far back as 1686, Robert Plot, a professor of chemistry, wrote that crop circles can appear because lightnings, breaking in clouds in the shape of a circle, emit a beam of energy that enters the earth and leaves a trail of a characteristic shape . He also noted that in some cases this bundle can take a rectangular shape.
How to distinguish real from fake circles?
Many organizations that want to become famous often artificially create images in the margins - it is not so difficult to do this. But real experts can always determine if circles were made intentionally by a person or appeared on their own. Here are some of the criteria:
- The ears are not cut, but bent about five centimeters from the ground, and almost at a right angle.
- Cavities appear in plants as if they were heated from the inside.
- The radioactive background in the vicinity rises by about three times.
- Field signs occur most often at night, less often in the early morning, and in just a few seconds.
- An increase in infrared radiation is recorded both inside the figure and at a certain distance from the outside.
Changes
If we compare the drawings of different years, it becomes obvious that they tend to become more complicated, and various theorems or proportions are often encrypted in them. The ears in the figures can be wrapped in a spiral in which the logarithmic proportions used in the Fibonacci numbers are clearly visible .
There are many different versions of the appearance of circles, although none of them can be called absolutely true - after all, this phenomenon has not yet been fully studied. One can only hope that soon this mystery will be solved.
