Are Crop Circles Created By UFOs? Nah, Wallabies Are Responsible!
By Robert Paul Reyes
"Australian wallabies are eating opium poppies and creating crop circles as they hop around "as high as a kite", a government official has said.
Lara Giddings, the attorney general for the island state of Tasmania, said the kangaroo-like marsupials were getting into poppy fields grown for medicine." http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8118257.stm
Crop circles are man-made, primarily as a hoax. But legions of New Age nuts and UFO enthusiasts argue that while some crop circles are man-made hoaxes, some are the product of extraterrestrial spacecraft.
UFO true believers refuse to accept the mundane reality that crop circles are created by pranksters with too much time on their hands, it's so much more fun to believe that they were created by little green men from Mars.
Well, if it's a exciting explanation that they are seeking, it's hard to beat the comical reality that wallabies high on opium are responsible for a few of the crop circles.
Crop circles don't represent messages from intelligent aliens, they are the crude manifestations of frat boys and wallabies high on opium.
There is zero evidence to support the theory that crop circles are made by extraterrestrials, but we have the confession of hoaxers and photographic evidence of wallabies creating crop circles.
