Crop circles, intricate designs formed in fields by flattening crops, have baffled researchers and piqued public interest for decades. These patterns have been cited as evidence of alien visitation, supernatural phenomena, and even covert government operations. But, are they merely elaborate hoaxes? Or do they hold more significant meaning?
Crop circles first came into prominence in the late 20th century, with reports coming predominantly from the United Kingdom. The complex patterns, perfect geometric shapes, and sheer scale of these formations lend an air of otherworldliness to the phenomenon.
Operation Mockingbird and the Media Influence
One theory about the existence of crop circles hinges on the operation ‘Mockingbird,’ a covert CIA project revealed by journalist Carl Bernstein. The operation, initiated during the Cold War era, allegedly had hundreds of American journalists working as CIA assets, spreading disinformation. The essence of this theory claims that the crop circle phenomena could be part of a broader agenda to disseminate misinformation and confuse the public about certain undisclosed governmental activities. Some even argue that a portion of today’s media personalities could be working for intelligence agencies to shape public opinion subtly.
The Case of Colin Andrews
An intriguing narrative surrounds Colin Andrews, a prominent figure in the crop circle research community. Andrews narrated an experience where he was directly approached by a man who, later, revealed himself as a CIA operative. This man offered Andrews a substantial sum of money to publicly denounce crop circles as a hoax. When Andrews declined, the man allegedly harassed him with threatening phone calls.
The Role of the Circle Makers
John Lundberg, an English artist, and the founder of the website circlemakers.org, is a controversial figure in the crop circle community. Lundberg and his group have taken credit for creating many of the intricate crop circle formations found over the years. However, crop circle researchers such as Robert Hulse and David Caton believe Lundberg’s group to be part of a disinformation campaign, possibly funded by British intelligence, to confuse crop circle researchers and mask genuine formations.
The Mirage Men Connection
Interestingly, Lundberg directed a documentary called “Mirage Men” that delves into a similar theme. The documentary examines the life of Richard Doty, a retired special agent from the United States Air Force Office of Special Investigation, who was, according to the documentary, one of the architects behind the military’s campaign to spread disinformation among the UFO community. This connection leads some to speculate a similar strategy at work in the crop circle community.
While the crop circle phenomenon continues to inspire awe and debate, discerning truth from fiction remains a challenge. It’s essential to approach information critically, given the potential for manipulation and disinformation in today’s media landscape.
The story of crop circles is a cautionary tale about the power of belief and the potential for manipulation. Regardless of whether they are products of extraterrestrial intelligence, secret government operations, or merely the work of human hoaxers, crop circles continue to capture our imagination, reminding us of the enigmatic nature of the world we live in.

oh yeah mocking jays and mirage men are still very common and easier to notice. Since my story started I think the tactic is far more engineered than it can initially look. As we know the us has strong partnerships with the allies to share talents such as the royal press and tools like the LEO. Its like the marketing algorithm that can be used to send hints and push buttons that can trigger or subdue most people. No threat no action, just watching.
