What are crop circles and where do they come from? Over the years there have been crop circles found all over the world with designs that have ranged from simplistic up to elaborate creations that have been so artistic they have found their way onto photographs that hang with pride in some homes.

We have seen hoaxsters come forward and lay claim to having created circles and we have heard from people who have scientifically examined circles saying that there are some of them out there that have aberrations in them that hoaxed crop circles simply do not demonstrate.

The hoaxsters state matter of factly that they are simply artists and they make their designs in the name of art and are not trying to fool people. The only problem with those artists is that they do not pay for their paint and canvas…they are simply causing vandalism and damage to private property in the creation of their artwork.

But, at least with the hoaxed crop circles we have an explanation about how they came to be and even a reason for their design…simply an artist's concept.

We have also had the hoaxsters on the UFO side of crop circles who have tried such silly things as doing time-lapse photography and have presented that footage as being some kind of UFO creating a crop circle right on tape.

Fortunately with a little bit of research it clearly comes out as being a hoax and we can eliminate that crop circle from the multitude of unexplained circles.

The crop circles that we do not have an explanation for are all the more troubling because of what we do not know.
As of right now, we don't know who or what is forming them, we have no idea what, if anything, the designs are being created for or do we even have a concept of what they are trying to say to us.

If we presume that they are some kind of communication from somewhere or somebody, we need to find some kind of alien Rosetta stone. They could be a warning, they could be a greeting or they might just be a really good recipe for chocolate chip cookies... who knows?

We need to first find out who it is that is making them and when we discover this, the other answers will fall into place… but that's just my take on it!
