i was surfing through some crop circle pages when i decided to go to freddy silva's page (author of "secrets in the fields"; great book by the way) and i was looking for info on new formations. but what i found made me very disappointed. according to silva, just about all crop circles since 2004 have been man made. i sent him an email regarding the 7/7/7 formations and a few others and this was his reply:

"sorry to be the bringer of bad news, but just about everything in the uk since 2004 is man made. all have mechanical signs of planking, no anomalies, and the designs are all coming from the same groups who we already knew were making them, especially when they were caught."

"there is still a phenomenon but these days it is more rare than people with commercial interests want you to believe. it is worth believing, just don't buy everything you see."

-freddy silva


i was quite surprised to hear this since many formations these days 'look' genuine. does anybody else have any comments on this or can offer a rebuttal?
