Nick, Nick, Nick.......
You know you rarely see me post over on the Space board because I am the Queen of Anomalous Phenomena around here. And this is the Habitable Zone and I promised Dan that I would keep my "space" stuff" off that board over there. But when you come over here to the Off Topic board, you're on my territory, and I'd be pleased to educate you just a little.
Because you guys only hear what you see on TV, and you are skeptics, doesn't mean you're right.
Anomalous phenomena is my hobby. I've been doing it for 25 years. I write articles, I interview witnesses, I do field research, and I hang with the best of the investigators, scientists and doctors in the field.
A great deal of crop circles ARE hoaxed, but not all. They are still showing up on secured military grounds and airbases and th USAF claims they now have their own crop circle investigative unit:

All crop circles are easily dismissed, and when I hear statements like the "great unwashed" or the "mentally ungifted" referring to anomalous phenomena, it somehow comes out as this great bravado that protects one of two things:
1) your fear
2) your ignorance

Now, I don't plan on wasting too much of my time or your time tonight on this because I have much better things to do, but I'll start with this. Spend $20 for this 2 hr. video and THEN we can have this conversation again
