Patterns in the Earth 
Art Bell suggests "fractal" crop glyphs are just too complex for humans to make. What about a group of humans united by principles of architecture and geometry?  A freemason is already familiar with using rope and posts to make precise geometric patterns in the earth.
Hoagland cites the fact that uncommonly cool crop circles appeared in two consecutive years, in the same field in the same significant place -- in front of a radio telescope facility -- as evidence that we are being contacted from a higher intelligence. Because of the subject matter of the recent crop circles, Hoagland and Bell conclude that they are most likely done by extraterrestrials who intercepted the Arecibo message. Doesn't it sound more likely that someone who owns the field let the same bunch of crop-artists utilize his crops two years in a row? The identity of the crop circle creators very likely DOES have something to do with the location across from that radio telescope. If I were a dude working at the radio telescope place, I'd at least have to be educated in physics and mathematics. I would probably know what the Arecibo message looked like, wouldn't I? What if I had friends, or brethren, who were into crop circles -- perhaps I knew someone I wanted to impress or my lodge was in competition with a rival lodge? Perhaps on my lunch break I stared out at the empty field across the way and used my above average educated mind to plan how in my spare time I could both express myself artistically/mystically and impress the crop circle researchers and gain a bit of fame, or at least pass the time. I mean, I like a challenge. Since I work at this place every day, it is likely that I know the farmer across the way. Perhaps I might even be related to that farmer, or he might be my brother freemason. At any rate, over pints at the pub or perhaps at a family get together or Lodge meeting I ask my farmer friend if he didn't agree that my idea of making a beautiful crop circle implementing the physics and mathematics I learned in college wasn't a jolly good idea -- and did he want to help? While I was at it, why didn't
I use my intelligence to draw up a schematic using the mathematics that
got me the job at the radio telescope in the first place, to implement
the principles of Euclid & Pythagoras and impress my Lodge Brothers,
or even ask them if they wanted to help? And of course, if I were a freemason,
I could count on the fact that none of my Lodge Brothers would betray me
as we are all sworn to mutual assistance and silence about goings-on. Besides,
a successful crop glyph enterprise would make for hours of animated discussion
around the old water cooler.
