FWIW, I don't think it's the "Space Brothers." I don't know what the hell it is. But this one is actually about as regular as they get. I don't see how they could be made any more regular, considering that they're made in natural materials. I'm not even sure what you're referring to about irregularities. <snip> > > Here's an interesting bit from the Wikipedia article > > on crop circles: > > It is interesting but I remember a programme about CCs, > two "experts" with competing theories were taken to a > fresh crop circle and allowed to test it.

I don't know anything about this particular incident, although I know there have been such donnybrooks. The question is whether the one you refer to is anything like what Wikipedia described in terms of the tests performed. Also see my post to Curtis about the extreme unlikelihood of human circle makers using advanced technology to plant this kind of virtually invisible evidence in their circles, effects that have nothing to do with the *patterns* themselves, or the purportedly perfectly ordinary creation thereof. > I am at a loss as to how they do it in such a short time > though, and at night, damn clever.

If you're at a loss to know how they create the patterns overnight, you should be gobsmacked to find that while they're doing that, they *also* are using complicated technology to create effects (at least one of which couldn't be replicated) that can be discovered only by careful measurement with advanced scientific instrumentation--and were doing so well before the Discovery Channel project was undertaken.
