Mam: Hello dear.So I'm ringing because the first crop circle of the year was found last night and I know you’re a big fan…
What?! Where?! I go on the ol’ ‘site now and again, but I've lost touch a little.

Hmmm, it’s probably a fake. Some of them are… (she went into some dribble about the future and stuff but the sounds from the kitchen drown it out.)I can't really hear you mam. So what, you don’t think aliens did it?
No! I never thought it had anything to do with aliens or anything like that. Not that I don’t think there’s anything out there other than us though. I’m sure there are other life-forms, like bacteria and stuff, just not other human beings y’know? I’ll have a look on the website and I’ll know immediately if it’s a hoax. I'll let you know.Are you going to the crop circle convention again this year?
I’d like to yeah, if I can get a cheap flight.What did you mean by "It might be a hoax"? Surely if they’re not made by aliens, they're all hoaxes?
Oh well… hahaha. Well, you see in the "fraternity" they say, "Oh that one was a fake," but you know because some of them are so intricate and precise, geometrically and everything, it’s like, "How could somebody do that over the space of half an hour?"I don't really understand.
Well, you wonder what sort of technology has advanced that they can do that. It’s interesting, for that reason alone. I mean, there’s nothing else really going on around here to be interested in is there?

I've got to go dear, speak soon.Thanks mam, I'll call you soon.Now, I understand that that wasn't exactly clear, but I've know my mam for a while, and I think what she was trying to say was this: She and her crop circle community don't believe the circles are made by aliens. So, in order for one of these to be considered as authentic, they don't need to be made by martians, but by a certain group of people with mad-arse technology.So.Students with a piece of rope trampling down rapeseed = fake crop-circles.Astronauts in space-planes built from light-weight moon-materials etching laser doodles onto England's green and pleasant land = authentic crop circles.
