There is a recording of  how a crop circle was made in 7 minutes and is 1033 feet long and 500 feet wide.
Applying critical thinking in 6 steps
Step 1. Problem: Are aliens behind the creations of crop circles?
Step 2. Ask questions:
Question: How do you know Aliens exist?
Answer: There is physical, and servalance proof
Question: Why would aliens be trying to contact us?
Answer: To warn us about something bad that may happen in the future, and to let us know that they can communicate with us using crop circles
Question: What makes the video real, What credentials does the source have?
Answer: No credentials he is a YouTube guy who posts claims and finds support to back him up.
Question: Do you believe that aliens are behind crop circles?
Answer: Yes because of the video that shows exactly how the crop was made, and you can see two flying disks in the air.
Step 3. Evaluate the evidence:
There is physical proof that crop circles are real, but no strong evidence, only a blurry video along with stories and opinions.
Step 4: Recognize assumptions, emotions, and biases:
Since we has humans need a reason why everything happens. That we get lost in the truth because we try to match our assumptions with what other people say, and that causes us to be biased because we want our assumption to be right. Also if we connect emotionally with aliens, then we are going to believe that aliens are behind the creation of crop circles
Step 5: Identify alternative positions, synthesize evidence and assumptions, emotions, biases:
Since the crop circles are very big and normally happen over night, I think that it is quite possible that aliens are behind the creation of them. If you think about how many people you would need in order to create such a big circle and not break any of the stalk that was in the corn field, just bent it. I can see how people think it was aliens.
Step 6: Select the best alternative:
After reviewing all my work and questions I truly believe that aliens are the creators of crop circle because even though it's humanly possible to make your own, it would be pretty hard to make the giant ones that show up in the morning. Also there is no other claims that support the reason why crop circles pop up.]]> 2016-11-25 20:03:17 UTC https://padlet.com/lucia_hottie/k6gw8ydxtiky/wish/139936917 lucia_hottie https://padlet.com/lucia_hottie/k6gw8ydxtiky/wish/139938256 This video is about a guy who claims that he has the ability to decode crop circles, and is able to communicate with aliens. Over the past two years he has experienced extraterrestrial contact with a group of hyper dimensional beings.
Reason for belief
One big reason why I believe aliens are behind creating crop circles is by patternicity. If you look at some crop circles you can see that they match a mathematical concept. There is one crop circle that represent the symbolic flower of life pattern that is consider the creation of all life's existence. Perception/observation is based on what we perceive and witness, the crop circles in this video match with the mathematical concept and makes me believe in them more.
Flaws
To me no doubt crop circles are real and aliens could be trying to speak with us, but I find it hard to believe that the guy speaking in the video has a way of receiving messages from extraterrestrial beings. In the video he uses another video that someone posted online about seeing bright things in the sky when it could of been made up. All of his assumptions that he made during the video didn't really have any credit behind it. He also only talked about certain crop circles and not all the other ones, that are out there.

This video is part of a TV show that did a special on crop circles. The video basically explains that human's are behind the creation of crop circles, and shows us how it is done.
While watching this video some of the points they were making, make a lot of sense. The main problem of the video is crop circles are man made and not by aliens. But why would someone go through all of the work in creating things, and not taking credit for it. If I created something that big and people were amazed at it, I would totally take credit for it. Watching the video i had no clue who these guys were that were showing us how making a crop circle is easy. I think they really only wanted to be part of the show so more people would recognize them and they would get money. Since crop circles have been appearing people are beginning to create emotional thoughts with the circles, and because people really want to believe that aliens are behind it they don't listen to anyone only other believers. I can see where people might think they are man made, but it also is possible that aliens are behind the creation of crop circles. I think it's safe to say that some crop circles are man made, but the really complex ones are definitely made by a different force.

In this website the author mentions that one possibility could be the woodcut who was a folklore, and was also know as the mowing devil. This claim may make sense to people since they can form an emotional connections with the idea. They might of been told the folklore when they were younger by their parents and that folklore might mean a lot to them so they want to believe that it's real. when you read on on the article you can see that apparently two men confessed that they had created the patterns for decades as a prank to make people think UFOs had landed. A lot of these claims come from the unexplained, and not matter how bad the reason sounds were most likely to believe it.
Red Flags
Proof by verbosity: These two guys may of read some news stories and gathered a lot of information about the crop circles, and were trying to get people to buy in that they created them. I think they wanted to see if they could be come local celebrities.
Confirmation bias: Since crop circles used to happen a lot, people would always focus on ones that they believe have relation to something that they know and would forget about the other 10 which weren't anything special to them.]]> 2016-11-26 20:34:02 UTC https://padlet.com/lucia_hottie/k6gw8ydxtiky/wish/139986681 lucia_hottie https://padlet.com/lucia_hottie/k6gw8ydxtiky/wish/139989239 This website is all about a different explanation of why crop circle appears. The author talks about how its possible that the crop circles could be little alien children drawing on their "chalkboard" that produce M-Rays(mitogenetic radiation). And that they could also be little alien's doing graffiti on the "chalkboard". To me this claim is completely wrong. First off we do not know if alien's truly exist, or if its our ideology setting up possible ideas so you can make sense of the crop circles.]]> 2016-11-26 21:45:15 UTC https://padlet.com/lucia_hottie/k6gw8ydxtiky/wish/139989239 lucia_hottie https://padlet.com/lucia_hottie/k6gw8ydxtiky/wish/139990259 The first half of the website talks about how crop circles are not made by alien's but are made by humans. The second half of the website is an actual sighting that a cop witnessed. He said that he came across 3 tall beings in the field, and as he approached them he began to hear static has he got closer to them and then they all started to run away. According to the officer it was the fastest he has ever seen anyone run.
Red Flags
Suppression by authorities:Since the police officer was off duty the police station refuses to make a comment because they don't want people to think that their police officers believe in something that fools a lot of people]]> 2016-11-26 22:18:25 UTC https://padlet.com/lucia_hottie/k6gw8ydxtiky/wish/139990259 lucia_hottie https://padlet.com/lucia_hottie/k6gw8ydxtiky/wish/139990753
This Crop circle to scientists and people represents the Flower of life, explaining the different stages of mitoses.
 I personally believe that a different force created this particular crop circle, and it wasn't some prankster creating a hoax. Due to the size and the design it seem impossible for human's to create something this big and beautiful]]> 2016-11-26 22:36:23 UTC https://padlet.com/lucia_hottie/k6gw8ydxtiky/wish/139990753 lucia_hottie https://padlet.com/lucia_hottie/k6gw8ydxtiky/wish/139990893
To me this looks like it was made by pranksters, or by someone who just thought it would be funny to make a marijuana plant as a crop circle. I think this also a good way to advertise things, and if this was a hamburger or fries I feel like people would most likely go out and buy hamburger and fries because they constantly see the image.

Although these are not the actual crops them selves, but just an outline of what the crops look like.

If you look at the one on the left that is a message that we sent to aliens like 27 years ago that showed out DNA makeup, our height, body weight, and how we talk. And just recently got back a message (on the right) that explains all about there species and you can see some of the difference in te middle section how their DNA strands are different from ours. This is one of the biggest evidence that people use to support their claims that alien's are the reason behind crop circles.]]> 2016-11-26 22:46:56 UTC https://padlet.com/lucia_hottie/k6gw8ydxtiky/wish/139991037
