4Crop Circles

In 1966, a man claimed to have seen a saucer shaped craft over a field near Tully, Australia. The saucer allegedly left a circular pattern of flattened reeds over the area it had taken off from. Years later, this unique story inspired two English pranksters to create their own patterns of flattened crops in local fields, using simple tools. The fad quickly spread, and crop circles became increasingly complex and intricate. While some believe this is a result of alien technology advancing, or the increasingly complex nature of an extraterrestrial “message” to humans, the overwhelming majority of crop circles have been revealed as products of deception, artistic expression and/or business or tourist interests.

4 麦田怪圈

1966年，一个人声称在澳大利亚塔利的一个麦田上方看见一个碟形飞行器。据称该飞碟在它起飞的麦田中留下一圈压平的芦苇。多年后，这个独特的故事激发了两名英国恶作剧者的灵感，他们用简单的工具在当地的庄稼地里亲自创作了压平的庄稼组成的怪圈。这种做法迅速传播，成为一种时尚，麦田怪圈也变得越来越复杂和精巧。虽然有人相信这是外星人科技进步或外星人给人类的“消息”越来越复杂的结果，但麦田怪圈中的绝大多数已被揭露为欺骗、艺术表现和/或商业或旅游利益的产物。
