Answer to Crop Circle Mystery Lies in Microwaves?
Answer to Crop Circle Mystery Lies in Microwaves?
he most commonly accepted method for making crops circles is using
“stompers” or strategically measured ropes attached to planks of wood to
accurately measure shapes. It is also said that artists use bar stools
to hop from one flattened circle to another without disturbing the
surrounding areas.
Taylor proposes that crop circle makers are now
using GPS to accurately position the intricate patterns as well as a
device called a magnetron, made using parts from a microwave oven and
powered with a 12-volt battery flatten corn crops.
He explains
that the same radiation waves that heat food within a microwave cause
crop stalks to fall over and cool in a horizontal position. Taylor has
recreated the method using a magnetron developed by his team at the
University of Oregon.
The microwave technique could explain the
speed and efficiency of the artists and the incredible detail that some
crop circles exhibit, according to Taylor.
He has also discovered
that construction lines, accuracy markers commonly used in architecture
are also used to design crop circles.
While Taylor uses empirical
research to dispel the ideas of UFOs and other farfetched conspiracies,
farmers remain none too pleased about the continuing tradition of crop
circles popping up mysteriously on their acres every summer.
Tim
Carson, who recently had a crop circle of an alien smoking a pipe appear
on his land is not a fan of the geometric art, which costs him £1000
each to destroy (approximately $1,627); 125 circles have a appeared on
his land since 1990.
“I’m beginning to get a bit tired of it all,” Carson told the Daily Mail.
One of Caron’s crop circles however was famous for being featured on the cover of the Led Zeppelin album Remasters in 1990.
