I remember that beer.

Thanks for the heads-up on the review! I’ve already posted a comment at Bryant’s blog.

btw Larry Byrant republished his review of “Project Beta”
(from Fate ) at “posterous “.

Your theory also resonates with the ideas presented in Jim Brandon’s Rebirth of Pan, i.e. that the Earth has its own sort of intelligence that shows up on the landscape from time to time.

Perhaps the planet will eventually get tired of trying to gently communicate and give us a good spanking.

If you were a sentient ball of rock and gas orbiting a star and you lacked the capability of communicating with the sentient species inhabiting you in their own languages, maybe you would shoot off a signal flare as a way to get their attention. Perhaps the signal flare would take the form of crop patterns with obvious intelligence in their design. That would certainly get the attention of the monkeys.

Were you drinking the crop circle ale when you wrote your comment?

When I was in Roswell, I saw Alien Beer for sale at the Wal Mart, and one of my flying buddies gave me a home brew made by someone in his work group when they were launching a spy satellite from Vandenberg AFB which features an alien on the label.

Interesting idea, but I would ask why and how the plants heat themselves up. Also, what purpose do the formations serve?

For the record, BLT has never posited any theory about the supposed external force responsible for the anomalous formations, and I agree with this agnostic stance.

last week tried a great local micro brew :
“Fordham’s Close Encounter Harvest Ale ”

(from Delaware , home of the likely next Vice President-
curiously, jets were sent from NewCastle Delaware to intercept UFOs in ‘52 over DC -which makes no sense really-
but i happen to really like NewCastle Brown Ale from England)

The label is kinda like a crop circle - 6.5 - and i hope to try more !

Anyone know of other ‘ET/Alien’ brews ?

Anyone tried ’smokin’ a crop circle ?

What if the plants do this themselves, using some unknown rare biological phenomena.

I mean there is no evidence to suggest that, but what evidence is there for any of the other “explanations”.
