Crop circles, a fascination and speculation subject, have seemingly disappeared from the public for a long time.
This was once a mysterious phenomenon that sparked debates about extraterrestrial involvement and supernatural forces has now faded into obscurity.
How were these crop circles once popular?
In recent years, these mysterious formations in crop fields seem to have faded into obscurity.
During the late 1990s and early 2000s, you could easily see peculiar designs imprinted on crop fields.
From the popular TV series The X-Files to M. Night Shyamalan's movie Signs, crop circles capture the public imagination.
Media reports from various rural locations around the globe, including North America, the UK, Russia, Japan, and India also reported on these phenomena, further fueling the belief that these formations were created by aliens.
But now crop circles seem to totally disappear from the public.
There are several factors that contribute to the decline in public interest and media coverage surrounding crop circles.
Firstly, advancements in technology have played a significant role.
Nowadays, with the born of drones and satellite imagery, it has become easier to identify the origins of crop circles.
Many crop circles are now found to be man-made, created by artists and pranksters using simple tools and rope.
Therefore, the revelation that most crop circles are created by humans has declined the mystique and attraction that once surrounded them.
Furthermore, the scientific community has extensively studied crop circles and their exact origins.
After many investigations, researchers have not found any evidence to support the claims of extraterrestrial involvement or mysterious phenomena.
According to reports, the sophisticated patterns observed in crop fields can come from natural processes such as weather, soil conditions, and the growth patterns of the crops themselves.
These statements have further declined the credibility of crop circles as a mysterious phenomenon.
However, some people still believe crop circles are proof of alien visitations, but there is no scientific evidence to support this claim.
Another factor contributing to the decline in crop circle reports is the shift in public interest.
As scientific knowledge and awareness have increased, people have become more skeptical and demand stronger evidence for extraterrial claims.
Instead, the focus has shifted towards more alarming scientific and environmental issues, causing the disappearance of crop circles.
The hoaxes that were announced caused interest in crop circles to gradually disappear.
In 1976, two Englishmen named Doug Bower and Dave Chorley came up with a plan to create crop circles to fool everyone about the appearance of aliens.
By using simple tools like planks of wood and ropes, they will step on the planks and bend the crop stalks to form patterns without breaking them.
Over the years, they claimed to have made more than 200 crop circles.
In 1991, they finally confessed to their pranks in a story published by the British newspaper Today.
Their hoax gained widespread attention and inspired others worldwide to replicate their designs.
The revelation that humans were behind the crop circles dismissed claims of extraterrestrial involvement and led to a decline in interest in the phenomenon.
