And you don't have to be the know-it-all skeptic who pronouces his folly loudly in the wind.

First of all, to answer question one, I am not a plasma physicist so I cannot say how it came through the atmosphere. I mentioned perhaps that DARPA had learned to do crop writing in their spare time (and at our expense). I can't answer your second question either, aquifers appear to be important for the charge to be laid down. I am also not an atmospheric scientist or geologist either.

BTW, I HAVE a frikkin' grip, obviously more than you do....and more patience than a saint.

And there have been reports of swirled trees and other unusual things like rice paddies with all the water mysteriously removed, and swirled into a circle............silently....tons of water.

Then you lie. Your title says this is not an attack on me, but then you say this:
"Anyone into crop circles is beyond help".

RL if this is your opinion, then why don't you stay out of my threads about crop circles? Your attacks are getting old. Why can't HZ posters discuss this subject without you attacking the curious? I have been kind enough to stay off your Space board and keep basically to myself.
Can't you play within the Zone rules?

More badgering:
"This entire topic is insane, most 5 year olds could see through it... "

Well, Mr. Science, you certainly have blinders on because you've seen the photographs of all the plant anomalies, I put Nancy Talbott's XRD study up here, and you still dismiss it all. I rather think you have a blind spot, not only in your eye, but in your brain (said nicely and with compassion). Tell me, how do pranksters stomping wheat manage to explode the cell walls, create blown-out nodes, and magnetize the soil?

You seem to be able to holler at anyone interested in the anomalies, yet you haven't even tried to explain <them>.
