Crop Circles

Are aliens visiting our planet and landing in our wheat fields? Although many have catagorized these formations from naturalistic to paranormal, it is highly unlikely that these were formed by visitors from another planet. Especially since the majority of "crop circles", as they are called, have been discovered to be man-made hoaxes. In a study done in 2000, it concluded that 80 percent of UK circles were definitely man-made.
Two men from Southampton, England admittedto having created crop circles before and described the tools and techniques that came along with them. Tehy stated that they used a four foot long plank attached to a rope to stomp on the crops and create circles with an eight foot diameter. The two eventually designed more tools to help make more complex designs. They figured out how to create straight lines within the crops as opposed to just simple circles.
Eventually the two men had to turn themselves in when the wife of one of them discovered a high amount of mileage on their car. She accused him of cheating on her, and he eventually had to confess to her what he had been doing.
I suppose this is one more way to prove that aliens do not exhist.
