I fully agree, applying Occam’s Razor implies that it was aliens, not two guys named Doug and Dave who inspired other humans to make similar crop circles.

- whatshisface 4y agoThe OP is not saying it was aliens, they're saying that it was more people than just Doug and Dave and that other people put a lot more effort into it. It is a view supported by the article: >In its heyday there were probably five groups creating crop circles, Mr. Irving said,

- sibeliuss 4y agoOne of the key points here is that in many regards, these crop circles required no effort at all. One hour there was a blank field, and the next hour there was an enormous, sophisticated, astronomically and symbolically correct imprint. The book I posted above goes into great detail on how to distinguish between the two kinds.
- lupire 4y agoWhat two kinds? What is "astronomically and symbolically correct"?
- TedDoesntTalk 4y agoThe symbols in a crop circle acting like an astronomical calendar with points aligned to certain astronomical events (eclipses, full/new moons, position of sun at an equinox or a solstice, positions of planets at certain times, etc).
- whatshisface 4y agoThe planets wander around so much that just about any direction is towards a planet at a certain time.
- TedDoesntTalk 4y agoAnd what about my other examples?
- sibeliuss 4y agoTwo kinds: rough execution clearly by hand, containing imperfections and created over a period of time; other kind, mysterious origins or extraordinary skill, flawless execution, nearly-instant creation. To your second question: many of the symbols and data embedded in the more mysterious crop imprints is well thought out and contains a remarkable amount of meaning, and oftentimes includes representations of seemingly-important celestial configurations through time. They're not just like: a circle here, a pattern there. There's clear information being communicated through the art.
- pwinnski 4y agoOr--and this would line up with countless other examples over the centuries--people see patterns and project means where it wasn't intended.
- sibeliuss 4y agoNo, to be absolutely clear, there's unambiguous meaning embedded in the more intricate impressions and you can learn all about it in the many books on the subject. This isn't the case of seeing a handprint on a cave and then using ones imagination to interpret. It is much much more than that, and it is mysterious.
- teilo 4y agoAll Occam's Razor actually says in this instance is that the vast majority of them were not done by Doug and Dave. That's it.
