Some observations I took down as I watched.
alcaray — (archived)

1) Did these old guys really claim to have made 15 circles in one night? Did they claim to be the creators of every circle? Or is that a straw-man (oddly appropriate phrase for this topic!) complaint?

2) Exactly which circles did they claim to have made? When evaluating a confession it is imperative to get every last shred of detail from the one confessing so it can be compared to what is observed and recorded. I don't hear any of that.

3) On the other hand, if these guys claim to have started the craze, then that seems consistent with my recollection. As I recall, the original circles were more primative than later ones. It makes sense that hoaxters would get better at it as time went on. It makes less sense that advanced aliens would get better at it as time went on.

4) The assertion that the circles represent aliens encouraging humans to be more peaceful and harmonius comes from where, exactly? Some of the circles are pretty, I admit, but they are not designed to communicate anything to humans. They are deliberately mysterious. For someone to assert to know what they mean, like the narrator of the vid did, is to tell a whopper.

5) Just got to the "balls" vid... Oh my goodness, do you really believe that video is genuine??? Whose was the voice in the background? Whose video was it?

6) Uggggh it is getting more and more scifi and less and less observational. Really, I can't spend any more time on this. I got to 15:19.
