Mysterious geometric patterns appear in crop fields around the world. A crop circle is bizarre as the plants are not cut but are usually laid flat and most often swirled into a pattern that is often only visible from the air. Most crop circles appear in wheat and barley fields, but circles have been known to occur (in lesser numbers) in oilseed rape, maize, linseed, grass, and even borage – to name a few. On this fascinating episode, we welcome Karen Alexander of Temporary Temples to the show. Karen and her husband Steve have been studying and photographing crop circles for almost 30 years. While based in the UK, the Alexanders have traveled the world documenting these mysterious enigmas. As part of their research, they supply professional quality photographic imagery of unique crop circles to researchers, the media, and the general public. What are these mysterious circles? How you can distinguish between authentic crop circles and hoaxes? Who or what is creating these intricately designed circles and for what purpose? Join us as we dive into the unknown and high strangeness surrounding the phenomenon of crop circles.  Intro song: Maruex: The Perfect Girl guest: https://temporarytemples.co.uk contact: blurrycreaturespodcast@gmail.com blurrycreatures.com Socials instagram.com/blurrycreatures facebook.com/blurrycreatures twitter.com/blurrycreatures Music Kyle Monroe: tinytaperoom.com Aaron Green: https://www.instagram.com/aaronkgreen/ Mastering: ironwingstudios.com Outro Song: TimeCop1983: timecop1983.com Learn more about your ad choices.
