Instead of speculating about possibly-fake photos, try explaining the "crop
circles". I have the book by Steve and Karen Alexander, which contains over
100 high quality aerial and ground photographs from England and other
countries. There are links to studies of the nature and details of the
changes induced in the plants to produce the images. Many of the designs are
far too complex and detailed to be produced by plank-and-stomp pranksters.
These are regularly reported to be created overnight.
The designs are imprinted on standing crops. Remember Arthur Clarke's
suggestion that any sufficiently advanced technology will appear magical.
Whoever created them is technically adept beyond current human technology
and has a remarkable aesthetic sense. Perhaps that are calling cards, hoping
that someone is home.
