Stardate 20010818.1002 (On Screen): Some "researchers" don't deserve that title. There's nothing particularly mysterious about "crop circles"; they aren't very hard to make, and indeed many of them are known to be man-made. All of them could be. Science is supposed to look for simple explanations for things, and only rely on extraordinary explanations when the simple ones won't serve. The simplest explanation is that every single one of them was produced by a human -- but that probably can't be proved. So some "researcher" is saying that the ones which can't be conclusively proved to be human in origin might be caused by "the magnetic field of the Earth" or by UFOs. Or maybe by Leprechauns. Or Bigfoot. Or maybe it's an edge effect from the flat earth. Hmmph.
