I used to know Dave quite well, some while after he did all this. He was a fine bloke, he died just before I moved out of Southampton. I don't know why, but he hadn't talked to the other guy, Doug, for several years. Doug I believe ran a picture=framing shop.

I don’t care what the son says.

The MIB must’ve gotten to him to throw us all off the trail of the true makers of crop circles... the aliens!

personally I prefer the Crop Circles the Egyptians made in the Desert...


Crop Circles in Sharq El Owainat

An astronaut aboard the International Space Station captured this photograph of circular farming patterns in Sharq El Owainat in southwest Egypt. The remote agricultural outpost in the Sahara Desert lies approximately 290 kilometers (180 miles) from the nearest city and 210 kilometers (130 miles) from the Toshka lakes.

The Nubian Sandstone Aquifer System, buried beneath the sand, allows patches of agriculture to survive in the middle of the desert. The aquifer is the only source of water for Egyptians living away from the Nile River. More than 95 percent of Egypt is uninhabitable desert with an average annual precipitation of 0 millimeters.

The crop circles are a result of center-pivot irrigation, an efficient method for water conservation in agriculture. Groundwater from the Nubian aquifer is drawn up from wells in the center of the circles, and it is sprayed or dripped out of long, rotating pipes that pivot around the center.

Most of the crops pictured here are likely potatoes (darker green circles), wheat (lighter brown circles), or medicinal and aromatic plants such as chamomile. The light, tan-colored crop circles likely have undergone controlled burning to remove excess plant matter and essentially clean up the land for the next crop. Catering to the populace of the New Valley Governate, these crops are transported on a desert road that leads to Abu Simbel (about 200 miles to the east), Dakhla Oasis (200 miles north), and the Sharq El Owainat Airport.

Fly over the northwest of the USA and you'll see plenty of these.

Listen... first you try to tell me aliens didn’t create crop circles!

Next you’ll want me to believe that
-the US Gov’t didn’t fly the planes into the WTC
-that we landed a man on the moon for reals
-the US Gov’t didn’t know about the Pearl Harbor attacks i advance

I’m not buying your BS man.

Don’t even try to tell me that an Asteroid or Volcanoes killed the dinosaurs.... I know it was cavemen hunters!

much more of an accomplishment to create crops in the desert. my own personal opinion.

It's pretty funny. When the Shroud of Turin was first created, the local bishop hired some investigators, found the scam artist who made it, and got a signed confession out of him.

Yet here we are 600 years later, and the tinfoil hatters are still telling us about the "mystery" of the Shroud of Turin.

You just couldn't resist pissing on the guy's memory of his friend?

Listen... you know they tortured that confession out of him!
Don’t try to BS a BSer!

(Seriously...once these people get their teeth into a Conspiracy there’s no amount of logic that can sway them.)
(If you present real evidence, all they do is deny it and claim “Fake News”.)

I don't think Dave would have been offended, tbh. He might dislike NoPoint for some of his other stuff, but he (obviously) had a sense of humour and wasn't touchy. He was a regular at the Freemantle pub where I used to go too. I got to know him, and his best mate (and brother-in -law) Jeff, who was even older, in fact the same age as my Dad. Dave was an artist, and he and Jeff used to buy old artwork and then take it to auctions.

that's kind of what I figured since you also posted similar irrigation crop circles created somewhere else. seemed we were actually just talking about something civilly

..it's not like I tried pissing on your friends memory by referencing Aliens did it .. or tried derailing the thread by talking about the Shroud of Turin..

[jonesthecurl]

I don't think either of those things would offend Dave either - plenty of people actually believed the sorta thing JimBean said, it amused us all greatly. I think the Shroud thing is a very good analogy, though I'd not heard of the ancient debunking before. I do remember reading (actually at about the same time as I'm talking about) reading in the New Scientist that someone had made a copy of the Shroud using readily-available materials and producing a very similar effect. Didn't claim that it proved it was a fake, just that it would have been easy to fake.
