They are folded over and packed close to the ground, but not crushed, as they would be if someone had trodden them with planks of wood or their feet. The resulting carpet of stalks is flat yet springy, and is only broken by the arrival of human visitors. In addition to this the crop is sometimes seen to swirl in more than one direction in any given design, sometimes causing alternate layers of crop to plait together creating an even tighter floor. Other stylistic features such as clumps of crop or single stems standing upright in the midst of a circle are common, and the floor patterns and structure make each design totally unique. These minutiae are very difficult to hoax. The crop, for all that it is flattened and distorted, continues to grow, sometimes even returning to a semi-vertical state if it is young enough. When humans crush crop circles this rarely happens. There is also a phenomenon called blown nodes. This is where the nodes or joints of a stem are exploded out, leaving a hole. It is not known what creates this - speculations have focussed mainly on microwave energy, and research is ongoing - but it is not something which can be created by man. The best laboratories in the world, see BLT, have not been able to replicate this effect, despite their advanced technology and specialised equipment. (It is important to stress, however, that whatever causes them, blown nodes are not completely exclusive to pictograms, but are sometimes found in unaffected crop too on occasion.) her high strangeness has been attached to the crop circle phenomenon for years, but the most striking argument in favour of a non-human origin for these designs is the ways that people and animals react to them. Sensations like awe, respect, fascination, amazement and excitement are easy to understand - the great beauty and mystery that is inherent in crop circles reaches out to a surprising diversity of people - but many also experience physical and emotional reactions to pictograms, ranging from euphoria to terror. Cases have been reported of visitors to circles developing flu symptoms for several days after their visit; others are so overcome by nausea or dizziness they have had to leave the circle. Equally, some sick people have apparently been cured by the circles, casting away their sticks to run about like children. Crop circles are a miracle or a curse depending on your view of them. Whatever awesome power is required to create the patterns often seems to be powerfully psychic, yet this energy also often affects electrical equipment, causing cameras, mobile phones and the like to malfunction in the circle formations Animals, being natural psychics, often exhibit fear or conversely hyperactivity when confronted with a circle, and no satisfactory explanation has been found for their ability to sense genuine circle from hoaxes. But they evidently do, as birds fly out of their direct route to bypass them and dogs sometimes refuse to enter them. www.angelfire.com/jazz/louxsie/circle1.html
