At least you looked at the scientific comaprisons. I understand them all very well, mostly because I knew who was running the tests, who funded them and what they found before their final papers were finished. It's pretty fascinating. I still maintain that it COULD be an advanced technology that we have developed; however the intense interest and scrutiny that is exhibited by the military of different countries and the quiet interference with some of the more well established researchers reads volumes into what they DON'T know.

>"I guess I'm a little concerned about the "I Want To Beleive" factor. If the research indicates that all crop circles are hoaxes, I hope that's what we hear. "

No, the research indicates that about 80% are hoaxed. When the final results were in and publicly announced, the leading researcher was hissed and booed by the believers who wanted to "believe" that they were all sent by heaven, or the aliens or whatever. It's the ones that aren't hoaxed that have all the plant anomalies in them: the blown out and bent nodes, the pitted cell walls, the pretzelized seed heads, th meteoritic iron found in circles, the crystalization of the soil under the downed crop, the magnetic anomalies, the balls of light and small floating sensors(?).....THESE all raise the serious questions.
Just what exactly is going on here?
