It has been a very poor season thus far. Some deep shenannigans at play which I shall dedicate another post to later. Here I raise the strange phenomena of 'ghosting'.
Ghosting is the reappearance in shadow form of the previous year's design in the same place on a field. It is rare, and there seems no botanical reason why the crop should flop a second time after the design has been mown out and the field turned over and reseeded in a fresh bed, yet these ghost patterns appear from time to time. I assume these designs must be laced with chemical contaminants that alter the soil pH in some way that affects the subsequent season's growth. Either that, or there really are microwave radiation methods used in some formations which leave a residual effect in the ground. Or maybe they are starship landing sites after all. Any thoughts?
eta, the video shows the 2018 crop circle first and the 2019 ghost after.
This is a current sample of a 2019 ghost of one of last year's designs.
