Crop Circles On California Farm In Salinas Valley.
A giant and intricate crop circle that appeared, seemingly overnight, on a farm in Salinas Valley, California has been drawing large crowds.
The circle was reported by two friends who claimed on YouTube to have witnessed two bursts of light before dawn on Sunday morning.
Such is the demand to see the mysterious phenomenon that security guards have been employed to keep onlookers at bay.
So far no one, terrestrial or extra-terrestrial, has come forward to claim responsibility.

Interesting :D
Same there aren't any stills from directly overhead.
There appears to be a binary (asci?) message in the middle, but that drone footage was too blurred :(
Let me know if you find a diagram 8)
It probably reads;
This is the Vogon construction manager, your planet has been scheduled for demolition in 24 hours
:P

Crop circles appeared in a field in Salinas, Calif., but no one knows where they came from.
By Elisha Fieldstadt, Staff Writer, NBC News
Theories are cropping up to explain an intricate circular pattern discovered in a field of grass in California early Monday.
An aerial photographer spotted the giant crop circle in Salinas, Calif., from above on Monday
We were on a photo flight this morning and came across it," aerial photographer Julie Belanger told NBC News. "It was so unique in the middle of a field."
Onlookers on the ground had to make do with climbing on their trucks on an adjacent street to try and get a better view, NBC affiliate KSBW reported.
It looks like aliens to me," Manuel Madrid said from his vantage point.
But there were indications that the pranksters or artists were of earthly origins.
The MontereyHerald.com http://www.montereyherald.com/news/ci_24817100/salinas-crop-circle-hoax-or-what
reported that guards from a South Bay security company were at the field Monday morning on behalf of a client whose identity they could not reveal.
Meantime, a YouTube video titled "Salinas Crop Circle Discovery" posted by user "Cannot Say" showed two men driving down the road at sunrise on Monday and then spotting a blinking green light in the field.
"Dude, this is a crop circle," said one of the men after they ran toward the light and allegedly discovered the flattened grass.
For her part, Belanger said she doesn't know who's behind the circle, or what their intent was.
"I don't know what it is supposed to be ... but it is beautiful," she said.

Well, thank goodness for the photos, because they have already destroyed the crop circle! This link shows the farmer plowing it up.
Also on this link (and others) there is a case made for a "text book braille message" of "192", repeated several times.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdNEZpFaLKs
how about morse code..anybody any good with that?
I don't see any thing that reminds me of Morse code.
Thanks for posting the images, videos and comments...
I don't think that I have seen a Crop circle like that before...
After it got revealed how Humans created Crop Circles a few years ago...I lost some interest in them other than admiring the patterns and artwork involved and how well we could create them..
But recently there has still been some discussions at some events that they may not all be man made..and maybe there is more to them.
I did not get to find out the finer details, but if anyone is familiar that some may well be ET created...I am curious to be updated !
Since the USA doesn't use Tram Lines :D...
It is easier to see where the Circle Makers entered the pattern :D

MIT students or American Chapter of the Circle Makers :P
Could be, Z......
But i would like to see some closeups of the centre pattern and the thin lines, there have been crop circles where the line was about 3 inches wide, so how does a Hu-Mon make a plank-and-rope track just 3 inches wide without crushing the stems on either side? Do they all have special Ninja training?
These are the DETAILS we need to look at, and deciphering the message.
yes Sky it could be morse on the top & bottom lines of what looks suspiciously like a computer monitor on a planet that has THREE sattelites orbiting.
Whether the 'message' in the middle is Braille or not, we will find out, these pics are good enough for that, at any rate. ::)
Want me to spend some time on this?
Rather not, too busy ;) but i'll throw a spanner in the works now & then ;D
ETA: and how do these students walk a laser-straight lne in the dark? Most students i have seen couldn't do this even when sober, lol
ETA: Not Braile, that is groups of 6 dots, these are definitely columns, i would guess 7-bit ASCII ISO code ::)
O wait, it IS patterns of 6, but it's not like normal braille i've seen,
will keep you posted, have to sleep, work, eat etc in between the research, LOL

QuoteBelieve it or not ( most wont of course ) that in the 2012 crop circle season, the crop circle which was coined as the ' Weeping Cathedral ' was created by one single artist who is well know in the area . The first phase consisted of no geometric value so there was no need for assistance in this creation. Generally, at least 2 people are required to create a perfect circle. As this formation does not consist of any circles, this brave artist ventured into the darkness and attempted something which lets be honest ' Is not perfect '. Well - he didn't have far to walk from the Barge Inn - that's for sure .
Windmill Hill, nr Avebury Trusloe, Wiltshire. Reported 14th October 2012(http://cropcirclewisdom.com/uploads/2/9/2/7/2927721/6595375_orig.jpg)
Image: Trevor Black Copyright 2012QuoteJust as we all thought the 2012 crop circle season has reached its end, behold Aliens have come back on a cold Autumnal night to bring you a splendid crop circle creation. Did we say Aliens ? Hmm sorry about that - let us explain a few things first !.
This crop circle has been created in an area designated for animal/wild bird conservation, providing seed and nesting areas for UK's wildlife species so SHAME on you Aliens for destroying such habitation.
Below is what the farmer of this land had to say about it:

by far the most interesting aspect of the formations are the "High Strangeness" events that are reported time and time again when these circles are made,This unseen hand jacques vallee,Keel and the Aviary bunch prodded investigated and even got spooked by.
same as what's going on at utar with the skinwalker ranch.
whatever it is, it's been around for a long long time,it has many names, The trickster.
excellent vid that touches on this subject zorgon ;)
Smiles, nods, grins, chuckles, my oh my what a tangled web misdirection, misinformation, and disinformation weaves at times. :P and toss in a few truths just to make it interesting. :)
I agree with you PWM! Just looking at this one, not only was it dark, but close to a road. Something like this would have to be done with some sort of lighting, at least for our relative technology.
Have known circle makers shown that they can do such in just the few hours of one night's darkness, with no lights?
Pyramids can be built by "humons" too, but to accept that the egyptian pyramids, and others, were done with only man's technology of the day is a bit of a reach. Actually my "first thought" when I saw this was that could someone possibly laying out the ground level architectural design of the base floor plan of a pyramid, with ancillary accompaniments around it?
Morse code is a possibility. Would depend upon which way it is to be read. Looking at the inside layout, there are several dots and dashes that do make letters and/or numbers, so maybe both morse code and braille. It is so easy to see those circles as a possible way of trying to make a first contact, much in the way of we putting various symbols and such on the sides of some of our spacecraft.
Interesting to consider anyway!
It's Monsanto crops. they lay down on command. lol
The code on the top line might be NTHB depending on where you want to break it but the bottom is TVN. It is spaced out better.

"close to a road" most are :P Circle maker etiquette say leave no entry trails. 2012 was a slow year All the big fancy circles stopped and lots of new amateur ones appeared, several leaving obvious tracks Seems like a new 'crop' of circle makers :D learning the 'ropes'

I agree that the GP was not built with copper chisels and wooden mallets, but I go with Ancient Lost Civilization, not Aliens :P We are the fifth known civilization on this planet. I know your Book doesn't agree with that but non the less it is so :D

Others, like Jeffrey Wilson of the Independent Crop Circle Researchers Association, insist the Salinas crop circle is a hoax.
Wilson says the circle is too closely aligned with nearby roads. He speculates that the Braille-language dots and that YouTube clip could be a bizarre attempt at marketing.
"My guess is that ... it is commissioned work for an advertisement," he told the Monterey Herald. "Or a commissioned work for a production company making a documentary on crop circles or for some kind of film."
Wilson said the circle is similar to the work of Circlemakers.org, a professional crop circle-making group that has done work for the BBC, Nike, History Channel and others.
The company hasn't responded to press inquiries.

Now, regarding the OP image, Eigthman may be right about it being a representation of a CPU on a circuit card. Of course, cpu cards can look a lot of different ways, but just for instance, here is a link to one that has some of the characteristics of this crop circle. The cpu, other components on the board around it, circuitry lines going in various directions, and etc do have similarity.

In the world we live in, if by chance "crop circles? were actual representations known by governments to be performed by aliens, shouldn't we at least expect a concerted effort of disinformation, just as with every other aspect of this area of knowledge arena??? I cannot say that it is or isn't, but I would for sure expect the usual negative interference with crop circles too. I wonder who ordered the crop circle to be plowed under? Maybe the farmer just didn't like all of the publicity he and his land were getting?? Too bad it cannot be studied more in detail on sight!

Well if they are made by Aliens then they are stupid Aliens because they have been making them for decades and no one understands the message :P
If they were smart Aliens they would have stopped long ago when they figured out the monkey just doesn't get it
OR
They are Alien rock taggers leaving their mark :P Pay no attention to the local ants :D

Z, I assume that your "aliens leaving their mark" means or includes their defecating in big circles when they want or need to, and maybe even emptying their on-board Porta-A-Pottys same??
we make them!!!
The most outlandish idea i have put forth other than ropes and boards is some space based weapons platform from SDI era and the staff at the hardened facility are board. :P
they create paranormal activity,that's the interesting part.

Yea crop circles hmm.
Excuse my cynicism, but i always imagine a hoard of stoned facepainters, Giggling and whispering about thier chakras and microbiotic diets. Then panic ensues when one of them spots a "black Helicopter" in the distance, which is actually the 19.23 to bristol, full of people who actually work for a living.

I think that was photoshopped.
i was at the Barge Inn in 2011 and saw the very next circle that happened.
The thing that struck me as suspicious was that it took 2 days to make ;D
A simple design appeared, and the next day it had been added to.
The generally accepted theory is that 'real' circles appear in seconds, flattened by a small drone using some gavity-wave beam in combination with microwaves.
Many 'real' circles are also faintly radioactive, and have no human prints or broken stalks, and are geometrically perfect.
The one i saw in Wiltshire that day was definitely faked, IMO because it failed all of these tests. It was a pretty one though :)
As for the paranormal activity, it could be the farmers getting their own back, LOL
I think Z may be right, ET isnt talking to us anymore :(
I still believe there are real ones, put down in seconds, but there is virtually no evidence for this, just the one film, which is very bad quality & could easily have been faked.....

Confirmed! Crop circle caused by ... a tech company
This photo provided by NVIDIA shows a 310-foot "crop circle" in a California barley field that mystified locals this week was explained Sunday: it was a publicity stunt by Nvidia Corp., a maker of chips for PCs and smartphones.
By Scott Budman, NBC Bay Area
Turns out, it wasn't an alien creation.
We now know the source of the mysterious crop circle that turned up in the small town of Chualar, about two hours south of San Francisco. And it turns out a lot of the speculation about what the viral photo might be was correct.
NBC Bay Area was originally tipped off by an anonymous source, who said Silicon Valley chipmaker Nvidia was behind the crop circle that was first spotted toward the end of 2013 by a photographer named Julie Belanger. We now have confirmation from the inside.
The company plowed through the farm to (eventually) get publicity for their new mobile chip. Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang detailed how the company came to create the circle that got so much attention press conference Sunday night at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, saying he had told his marketing department to find a way to generate buzz about the chip on a shoe-string budget.
Nvidia says that all those theorists who said they saw the numbers one, nine and two in the crop circle were correct. The company said it incorporated the number 192 in the design in Braille to represent the number of cores (192) in the company's new mobile chip, which was also introduced Sunday night at CES.
"We've bridged the gap — we've brought mobile computing to the same level as desktop computing," Huang said of the chip. As for the crop circle, it arrived, and then, like a Snapchat, it disappeared, a viral move that generated huge coverage for the company and got a lot of people talking.

A 310-foot "crop circle" in a Monterey County barley field that mystified locals this week was explained Sunday: it was a publicity stunt by Nvidia, a maker of chips for PCs and smartphones.
The crop circle near Chualar, six miles south of Salinas, contained a stylized image of a computer chip and the number "192" in Braille. On Sunday, the company announced the Tegra K1, a new chip for tablets and smartphones that contains 192 computing "cores," or mini-computers, for graphics applications.
Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang said at a press conference in Las Vegas, ahead of the International Consumer Electronics Show, that he had given his marketing department the mission to promote the chip on a shoe-string budget. The crop circle received wide attention. Rumors of Santa Clara-based Nvidia's involvement appeared Sunday before the press conference.
Well good, case closed!
At least two of us said it looked very similar to other cpu on-board designs!!!!
I guess we should assume that the farmer was in on ot too? Otherwise, he would have firm grounds for legal action against the Tech company for various grievances. That is probably why the farmer seemed to not have much to say about it during the interviews.
A rather stupid stunt I think. This crop circle did not really "promote their cpu" in the news at all. The news on the crop circle was all about "what is it"?? Now the company "comes out of the closet" to confess "they did it". In my view, that is no better than if they had simply made a news release on the new cpu to begin with, which is the customary practice for "no cost" marketing for new products.
Missed last few replies..You Guys beat me to it...
Yahoo slow to acknowledge it as a hoax considering I came across the initial post on this thread from them ! :-\
