What happened to crop circles?
I remember when crop circle stories were a regular occurrence, with new sightings showing up consistently over the years. Now, I hardly see fresh photos or even hear discussions about them anymore.
Am I missing something, or have they just stopped happening? If they are still occurring, where can I find information about them? And if they are happening less frequently or not at all, does anyone have insight into why that might be?
I’m starting to lean towards the idea that they were man-made, but if that’s the case, what was the purpose of all those false flags back in the ’90s?
I’ve read that the crop circle phenomenon peaked in the 1990s and early 2000s.
It’s interesting how quickly certain phenomena can fade from public attention, isn’t it? Crop circles certainly seemed to capture people’s imagination in the 90s and early 2000s, with numerous reports and photos surface each summer. They were often linked to theories about extraterrestrial visitors or unexplained natural occurrences, which added to their allure.
You might not be hearing about them as much today for a few reasons. First, there’s been a lot of skepticism regarding their authenticity. Many crop circles have been proven to be man-made, created by artists or pranksters using simple tools. As more of these hoaxes came to light, public intrigue started to wane, leading to less media coverage.
Another factor could be the rise of social media and other digital platforms that have shifted the focus of viral content. While crop circles were once a sensational story in the news, nowadays, there are countless other phenomena and mysteries competing for attention online.
You’re not out of the loop—there may still be reports of crop circles, but they tend to be localized and not picked up by larger news outlets. If you’re interested, you could check websites or forums dedicated to paranormal or UFO phenomena; those places might still discuss new developments or sightings.
As for why there were so many “false flags” in the past, it’s possible that the intrigue surrounding crop circles was simply a product of their time—a mix of curiosity and the thrill of the unexplained. People love a good mystery, and crop circles certainly provided that.
