Ahhhh...but what if it's for the purpose of communication?

they dont last very long, us humans tear them down. after a few get destroyed they would realize that the master speices of the planet is on to them and would use a different way of leaving a message.

the only jsutification i can come to in my head is they are just fucking with us, and get humor out of seeing us freak out over some marks on the ground. the crop designs are just too primative for such an advanced civilization.

It can't be for communication. Think about it.

I am part of an alien species that can travel light years in spaceships, enter a planet populated by 6,000,000,000 humans and not be noticed, and leave marks on the ground. I think if they can do all that, and wanted to communicate, they could learn English...

Well if they were that intelligent I would hope they would realize the futility and possible danger of direct communication. Besides...geometry is universal. Somehow I doubt there's an english as a second language course for aliens. Besides...if you REALLY didn't want to be noticed would you leave your mark somewhere in Bumblescum, Arkansas (I know...most of them happen in England/Scotland/Ireland...but you get the point) or in downtown NYC? At least that's how they'd play it if they were smart and had done their homework. You can't keep an eye on the human race and not know our tendencies towards violence.

so why would direct communication be any worse than just confusing the hell out of everyone? if we got a real signal, there's plenty of ways to do it, I highly doubt there'd be mass chaos with people freaking out and world leaders launching nuclear weapons in random directions.

and if they can travel across the galaxy I'm 100% sure they could just listen in on some tv signal and figure out our language w/ out an "Idiots guide for Aliens who want to learn English" book.

did anyone test these areas for the slight radiation they probably found before there were circles? and how are you gonna look for signs of people coming and going? unless there's mud it'd be really hard.

some people have nothing better to do than spend years planning stupid crap like this, so they have plenty of time to think up anything thats possible.

We had a crop circle happen not to far from where I live. My friends actually stopped by and talked to the Lady that owned the field. I'm sure that some of them are man made, but I have a hard time believing that all of them are. Who knows for sure though.

hopefully if we were smart enough we wouldn't blow a alien craft out of the sky. I mean think about it. how smart would it be for us to blow a spacecraft that traveled the universe from the sky? hell we couldn't defend ourselves from an armada of alien cruisers, we'd be totally fucked haha

Man...it took me a minute to stop laughing there. Bwahahahahahaha. Human beings....smart....:D:D:D

we couldnt do anything anyway, all they'd have to do is sit just out of reach and talk through one of the many signals available. so no, i'm sure they would not be afraid of being killed.

if in the one millionth of a chance it happened, I'd just sit back and laugh at our demise

What i don't understand is why everybody thinks that if there was aliens they would be some superior beings...maybe they're just as smart or a lot dumber than us?...explain

Well...the obvious conclusion one might jump to is that if they've mastered intergalactic travel, they're at least a wee bit smarter than us. This is why I'm a little cautious of assuming why they do what they do (if they indeed do anything at all).

Also, am I the only one who thinks the government really shafted us on the whole Roswell thing? I'm not saying it was a UFO that landed...but c'mon. A weather balloon? Apparently government think tanks can't lie as good as I do.

assuming this race could travel through space. they either A) have been existing a LOT longer than we and therefore have obtain much for knowledge or B) Have been existing just as long as us and are just smart enough to figure something out.
you don't see us up there traveling galaxies in search to contact others. no we're sitting here with a few space stations and a shuttle which we are afraid to put into space..what was the last big thing? the mars landing? how long ago was that?
use this to compare
...a man of 11,000 years ago walks up to you and threatens you with a .....club or a rock
then you pull a m16 out and burn some holes in him....who would you say is superior?
the man with the rock or the man with the gun?
although it's a rather Horrible analogy do you get the point?

and why would the government be dealing with a weatherballoon? wouldn't it be some freelance weather researched organization or something?

well, obviously they haven't "mastered" it...or else we'd probably know a bit more about them. Maybe space travel is just their forte and we are more advanced than them in other areas?(if that's even possible)

.....haha Kyle I would thinl if they were able to put together an engine that could work so efficiently as to put them in space and travel I'd think they'd have some nice weapons or computers or whatever

plus we have no idea how large the universe is....they could have colonized hundreds of planets and be nowhere near us

don't laugh man, i was just putting a different possibility out there.

Once again, I gotta say, I'm not about to even try and question the motives of a race that could master intergalactic travel.

But here's one for all of the doubters and nay-sayers. If we in fact aren't being visited, then what are all of those crazy things popping up on home videos across the world? Crazy balls of light that move in obviously deliberate fashions and then zoom off at speeds rivaled only by a bone stock Civic.:D If anyone says swamp gas so help me...

Crazy video on Ebaumsworld

pretty cool vid...i certainly do believe in life outside our world...i just wish we knew more about it...as i'm sure everyone else does too.

that shit looked like a model rocket, whoopty do.

the government puts out crap loads of weather balloons.

each of the places on this map: http://weather.unisys.com/upper_air/skew/

put them out every 12hours. there's some places that don't show up on that map for some reason.

I thought the excuse was some kind of high altitude listening device that was meant to listen for atomic testing by other countries.

i heard weather balloon??:confused:
too
thanks for the clarifcation btw AZ

I've heard both. The government's story has changed over the years...so technically both would be correct. Likewise, both are complete crap.

holy damn thzt video you posted was creazy:crazy:

Come on doesn't anyone watch the simpsons? While aliens may have mastered space travel their video games are only as advanced as pong. ;)

and if thats the case, then I'm damn sure they're superior to us because they don't waste their time playing video games all day like I

I'll use my Halo skills to blow their asses up...lol

hah riiiiiiiight

Yes the more people that play halo 2 the better, that way everyone will have training with plasma weapons to fight off the eventual alien invasion. :pfft:

This somehow reminds me of the movie I rented last night, The Forgotten. Has anyone seen it? The entire beginning of the movie, I thought it was some governemt conspiracy.

As to the threads, I still don't understand how any of the crop circles can be man made..especially in someones back yard and not be noticed.

because those "backyards" are absolutly huge and usually has at least 3 roads right against it

Well...they're usually in huge fields rather than backyards. Some man-made ones are really great...but they take a hell of a lot of time and precision. I don't care how well you plan out your design, it's always hard for a person to make a perfect circle without some sort of mechanical aid.

That's what I'm saying..everything is so perfect, down to the last mm. However, I was notioning at the fact that there have been some crop circle in some peoples' back yards..which were fields.

ummm, maybe you haven't heard of Heron Of Alexandria then. he invented the steam engine hundred of years before it was reinvented in mind 1800's. he just never made the connection between the engine and what it was supposed to do, so he just used it as a recreational toy. also he kinda dicovered the first computer and also made some mechanical clocks that would rival with most of today's atomic clocks. Also some of his mechanical devices are still buffling engineers nowadays. think about what would have happened if he actually used his inventions more than 2000 years ago.
