It’s wild.

    I don’t think it’s accidently people who report crop circles usually are believers themselves and therefore are more likely to connect some prosiac anomaly in the sky the crop circle

        Haha I like you. I find it funny mainstream science will accept ball lightning when it’s just as pseudo as UFOs. I’m not a believer per say but I do think there is something about this phenomenon that is beyond our current perception. I could be wrong but seems like enough evidence to be researched imo

          Here’s the deal, the ball lightning thing, it could be anything. But it’s typical of a certain kind of people to instantly jump to conclusions about aliens, illuminati, the JFK assassination and the moon landing because we don’t know.

          Like, we know the crop circles are bullshit. It was a couple of guys doing it. In the 90’s. How many crop circles are being reported in 2024? None. Did the aliens just leave? Ok.

            Yeah I understand the subject is rife with bs. On the other hand it’s annoying that we just immediately dismiss people who aren’t making conclusions about anything aliens or whatever, and are trying to actually investigate the real evidence in the phenomenon. Why immediately dismiss professional pilots testimony they are fucking trained to know what’s in the air if they say they don’t know what something is I’d investigate it. And you have people like Neil DeGrasse Tyson saying science is truth which doesn’t make any sense at all And if it turns out to be just secret government projects well I’m glad we figured it out

              That is a fair point. On the flip side though, a lot of people don’t take the time to educate themselves enough to be able to tell the wheat from the chaff, it that is an expression, and if it ain’t then shit.

              I must insist on recommending starting to watch Anton Petrov (Ukrainian, as myself)(in fact you and I share the same name) on https://www.youtube.com/@whatdamath

              He is a wonderful person who keeps track of science news and holds us accountable to understand it.
