Theos-Talk Archives (June 2002 Message tt00045)

This is a P.S.: As I try to recall more and more about that crop circle TV
show, I may be wrong about "farm machinery" being used along with just hand
tools and very skillful techniques. It may have just been with hand tools,
because a major subject, which I do remember being discussed, in general (on my
part), is how they got in, did the work, got out, with not a trace left of how
they got in and out (things like no tracks left behind, no disturbance to the
field not turned into a design, no physical clues as to how they did it, etc.).
