Re: Crop circle heat patterns

BG, if you're saying some crop circles are so complex and perfect that they may be beyond human capacity, I'd say you've chosen a poor example. It seems to have been very simply made:

(A.) Mark the positions of the centres of 28 circles and 4 semi-circles by using a piece of string tethered at a single starting point (looking at the picture, it becomes very clear that's what they did).
(Actually, use 2 strings and 2 teams working in concert on opposite sides, keeping their 2 strings in perfectly aligned with each other to ensure perfect symmetry)

(B) Create the 32 circles and semi-circles at those points by the same tethered string technique.

(C.) go home, because that's all there is.

IMHO, perfect circles are remarkable things of great mathematical complexity and may even be a glimpse into the divine, but the fact remains they are instantly available to be summoned up by we earthlings. So long as that's the case it's hardly right to say we have closed minds.
