		<description><![CDATA[How do Crop Circles appear? The majority are witless hoaxes, and experienced circle-hunters can spot them immediately. The stalks are crushed, there are footprints and even cigarette butts, and the shapes are clumsy. This isn&#8217;t scepticism &#8211; it is vandalism. True circles are different.

It&#8217;s almost as if someone wanted to smear the whole UFO movement&#8230; The alien autopsy video was definitely faked.
