The appearance of crop circles has finally been explained by a clever bunch of Russian scientists! Hurrah! It’s all due to lightning, apparently…
A group of researchers in Russia claim they have solved the mystery of crop circles, the Komsomolskaya Pravda daily reports. According to them, plants bend as a result of microwave emissions caused by lightning strikes.
The newspaper described an experiment conducted by researcher Stanislav Smirnov who placed several stalks of cereals in a microwave oven with a glass of water. He said the stalks bent in exactly the same way as those usually found at crop circles. Smirnov said he now has to find out how microwave emissions appear on fields. He has a theory that they come from underground, but cannot prove it.
How boring. I like the ’space aliens trying to talk to us’ explanation far better, so that’s the explanation I’m going to continue to believe.

Yeah, who asked the scientists to interfere. I prefer the space aliens explanation too. Only trouble is they don’t seem to be very good at communicating.
