Olivers Castle Crop Circle Hoax (Is It Real)

[yudiweb]

thats light of balls are the Ion Wind energy, natural phenomena

[Kadda1234]

I experienced one of those things appear a few years ago when we were walking home early in the morning from a party. On the way to that party we drove next to the field around 8 in the evening and there was nothing. Around 4 in the morning when we had to walk there was one.

And there really weren't any traces of people or machines.

I don't doubt that this video is a hoax, but the corn I saw was somehow bent, not broken the way it was lying. No human joker could have done that!

[carlover]

Impossible. look at the 90 sci fi movies and their animations, they are all shaky and dont move like they should comparing the camera movement with the background.. this has

motion tracking too precise for 90s. way to precise! that's why i don't believe its fake.

[XOneGameR]

This didn't prove that is a hoax. This video is made in 1996 and the original one is from 1989? Can someone explain why the creator will wait 7 years to reveal the truth? Also, why in this video we don't see John Wabe , but an actor ? It can be fake but also it can be real. What is the best way to cover a truth? To make it look like lie , with another lie. Seriously it makes sense. It's better to try find and explain the easiest  way possible , with a lie, instead of deny the truth.

[Halllibut]

That is probably some of the best editing ever.

[xbuster17]

an alien gold disc with lot's of alien info sounds weird and that's the voyayer proyect. life on other planets it's very provable on the worst scenario. and they both sounds more probable than a million crazy dudes inventing stories, making crop circles wasting their crop(time and effort), with crazy fractal mathematics knowledge, an helicopter, and nothing to do. is that the average profile of the british farmers? i really don't think so...

[xbuster17]

i've seen digital effect on millionaire production movies from 10 years ago and the effects were horrible and you could really tell it was digital, no doubt about it, fading programs where kinda decent with pictures but movies demand much more effort, the camera shakes and the circle doesn't. an electromagnetic flux from a quasar sounds more believable than this video.an alien energy trying to comunicate with us or tag the planet sounds more believable than this video...we made it some time ago.

[xbuster17]

lol also nat geo was trying to convice people that the virgin mantle stuff from mexico was a really suspicious thing and nobody was able to tell how and why that thing was what it is and yes, they lied about everything almost like a chain email hoax, but cause it was on nat geo you think of it as another way, my point is i don't trust nat geo at all. if this has like 15 years and the actor has like 25 you want me to believe a 10 year old made this with a computer 15 years ago...? really?

[tjroqer87]

If you saw that would you say "Thats amazing." UHMMM YEAH I WOULD wtf is this guy talking about?!

[KUISA]

how the hell does he know how people would react to something like that, like captdavidwebb said, "when that 2 balls of light fly over the field and then suddenly the field forms a massive circles, i too just dont give a damn about that balls of light anymore, i would just stare at what it just created for f**k sake"

and i find his body language and facial expression during his "its a hoax" verdict

kind off weird...

[Blowbotjuh]

OMG i saw it 2 :O !!! in my bed XD

[Daddyo930]

No matter what these fuckin stooges say, the video is real and the homo who said he made it is counter intelligence. Has counter intelligenc ever been used before? Anyone remember world war 1, 2 , Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan? Counter intelligence operations used during every conflict on earth since the beginning of time. Gods of Eden. A book worth reading.

[ishigum]

If Nat Geo says its fake it must be fake.... Go back to bed America. Nothing to see here...

Fuck Nat Geo! Get back in that studio and film some more of those crappy reality shows and staged predator / prey videos.

[captdavidwebb]

oww, and the fact john waylegh went missing and some damn actor posed as him and made a false confession, it just only fuel speculation about how real this video was. john weylegh , john wabe, or whatever his name was, he's probably dead by now, poor john. Rest in Peace

[captdavidwebb]

1:35 idiot talking, what the fuck is he on about what a pure BS, expert my ass. you cant just determine what other people might or might not say in response of certain phenomenon.

1:08.sorrry sir but you again are an idiot. if i were to make that video, look at that 1:12 when that 2 balls of light fly over the field and then suddenly the field forms a massive circles, i too just dont give a damn about that balls of light anymore, i would just stare at what it just created for fuck sake. --'

[tinafanforlife73]

What an A-hole

[permaveg]

Within a few days of this the late Paul vigay, circle researcher, did an made an almost identicle copy of this daft footage to show how relatively easy it is to hoax this footage. The actual circle the "orbs" flew over was a hoax. Wabe gave the game away by staying focussed on the formation while the "orb" flew out of frame ! ask youself would you do that ? Why the fuss i dont know, its a hoax, and not even a good one really.

[sophiamiasma]

the whole reason this video was ever purported to be a fake was because Andrew Collins 'claimed' that John Wabe made a video taped confession claiming that he had faked the video...do the research.....there is no confession video and Wabe is a missing person. The video is real Wabe never made a confession that it was not real. Numerous film experts have authenticated this video. To anyone out there who disbelieves.....the only thing I can say to that is ..do you live on this planet?

[DkwonX]

@Foundation360 hahahahahahahah loser.

[mattkingnz]

if nat geo says its fake ' its real'..if time magazine says get a vaccination ' dont' ... u cant doctor hand held footage as well as that u cudnt back then and u cant today.. john wabe (wabe is what the japanese production company called him and it stuck) real name john weyleigh went missing shortly after this vid got exposure ..they made it luk like he was having mental issues and he went awol..he lived with his mother in wiltshire. they used an actor in interviews and recreated 'john wabe'

[Trancecend]

@mattkingnz

And you should read up on the definition of "conspiracy theory" on wikipedia, and all the psychological elements it entails, instead of spending your entire life on alien crop circles "that in no possible way can be faked", which you obviously believe they aren't.

[Trancecend]

@mattkingnz And you claim you cant "doctor" hand held footage like that?

Here's some guys on youtube doing it, with relative ease:

watch?v=eJvXfV87Aks

[delagrazia]

the world has become 2big!! /imagine if this guy was a neighbor or a stupid kid ,he would have get spanked 4messing around +fooling ppl!!:)is same think as if u are told that your wife is pregnant-but is a ...joke(?)

[Antihu1]

People believe that its fake just because one guy said its fake (althought it was author, he could be bribed or intimidated by people who dont want to public know).

I do not believe any video like this, it can be truth but maybe not. You can never know.

[l30r1c]

it´s funny to see how the ones who don´t believe in this are so sure this is fake. They laugh about how believers are so blindly sure this is true. I understand this can be fake, that´s a possibility, but don´t exclude the possibility that this can be true as well. To me that´s the most rational way to see this matter. To be really sure of one view or another you would have to be there, seeing ufos doing that thing or a bunch of people stomping the crops, otherwise you can´t be completely sure.

[stru81]

14 years later, best prank ever. XD

[PM011]

@stru81 A true offline troll. Respect.

[TheTruthIsFromGod]

lol, I've really liked the pentagram on Oliver Castle's hat, this guy has the perfect profile of the puppetys of Satan/disinfo agent working undervocer. National Geographic.... do they release a documentary on each "so called" hoax of the web.... History Channel, National Geographic... same purpose....

Wake up guys!!! I've never seen such a ridiculous demo in my life.... pin pon pin... magic!!!!

[DavidCutThroat]

@TheTruthIsFromGod seriously? thats not a pentagram, its just a regular star, that guy's name isnt oliver castle, thats the name of the place this is all going on at, and you mention satan, if your contributing that to the star then your wrong, a pentagram does not mean something has anything to do with satan(and thats not even a pentagram)a pentagram is the sign of the religion known as "wicca", an INVERTED pentagram might be used for satanic meanings, but that's beside the fact, get educated.

[Silent44]

No you wouldn't follow the balls of light because there is nothing to really learn from them. They are just balls of light. They are moving, a crop-circle is forming. You would watch the method in which the crop-circle is being formed to try to learn and understand the details of how it's actually being done. Rather than focus on the pen and look away from the message it's writing. Secondly, this fail-skeptic is judging the guy's vocal reactions and saying "I wouldn't say that!" as an argument.

[Rollu85]

you are mother and grandmother fukcers

[listeronomoo]

Funny how the narrator says if you believe the crop circle was made by E.T.'s you must be a "conspiracy theorist ". Wouldn't it be more accurate to say that the "conspiracy theorists" are the folks who believe one or more people "conspired" to fake the video? I don't see how "conspiracy " has anything to do with crop circles or alien lifeforms. It is more correctly applied to Ponzii schemes or skyscrapers collapsing into their own footprints for no reason. Just sayin'

[MokomaSusi]

@listeronomoo

No, he said that people who still believe "olivers castle" video are conspiracy theorists. They believe that John Wabe (man who created that video) is goverment worker...

[gothiccitizen]

ignorant

[kalonzohart]

I think the human capacity to Lie about almost anything is what drives most conspiracy theories. If its important, unkown, unusual or of value...humans will almost instantly lie about whatever it is for whatever reason. The fact that someone would go thru the trouble to make a fake crop circle is a lie in and of itself and shows to what extent people will go thru just to lie for no apparent reason. So if Crop circles are real why would people do anything but lie about it?

[butlincat2]

u try telling them tho that it is fake - olivers castle circle is still shown on british tv as real

[youstupidmoron]

"like ignore the evidence to maintain a belief system", all the "evidence" points to the fact that all crop circles are man made. Believers can't find any rational explanation to explain something that is right in front of their eyes so they reach for the only explanation their closed mind will allow, "I can't do it so it has to be done by little green men with ray guns and the government is hiding it", yea, that's rational.

[youstupidmoron]

Worse logic, people who haven't the intellect to understand how something is made so they automatically blame the supernatural and or aliens. People with that mindset should have died off in the dark ages! There hasn't ever been the slightest reason to even imagine any crop circle was made by any source other than humans yet believers freak out if the human origination is even considered, that's hilarious!

[elmolester]

bad logic:

If you don't buy our theory that all crop circles are man-made you are a conspiracy theorist ie: dumb idiot. (ridicule instead of critical thinking and reasonable debate).

Because somebody felt like creating a video that we can prove was faked, the whole field of research is based on a hoax.

Here we see some gullible crop circle followers that believed the tapes - idiots. They even believed this guy must be an agent - not just some random nobody that was bored and done it for fun.

[PhoenixTheKnight]

This is real u fucking idiots

[cayuc0]

Thanks for posting this!

[ShadesofScorpius]

Fine - it was faked, but the national geographic narrator doesn't have to be a giant dick about the whole thing.

Nothing puts me off more than snubby, patronizing behaviour in something that's SUPPOSED to be scientific and professional.

If you have facts you dont NEED bitchiness. Why use it? It just lowers the credibility.

People are going to believe what they're going to believe and no amount of 'what a bunch of wankers' is going to change that - in fact, it will probably reinforce it.

[Yavne19]

this is fake -_-u

[lukealandrummond]

you can tell if a crop circle is fake by the way the wheat or flower is layerd

[Bernhardification]

National Geographic ist nicht vertrauenswürdig!

[mattkingnz]

everyone should know that the guy who filmed this 'john weylegh ' went missing and has been missing since and the guy in this vid is an actor. do the research.

[lctorana202]

Who is John Weylegh?

Or did you actually mean the person who admitted to making the video, John Wabe

[youstupidmoron]

@mattkingnz , The guy who made this video is named John Wabe, he has NOT gone missing and was not portrayed by an actor! Where do you gullible people come up with that garbage! It's hysterical! "John Weylegh" was his alias! I cant believe the garbage you believers make up, do you really think people fall for that garbage? It's imature and very irresponsible to make up such ridiculous stories. The video IS fake, it was made by John Wabe and he demonstrated how easy it was to fake the video.

[elmolester]

@youstupidmoron Gullible people, garbage! hysterical! believers make up, fall for that garbage, ridiculous stories, fake... garbage. What's your fucking point dude?

[youstupidmoron]

@mattkingnz , John Wabe faked the video by taping an existing crop circle, taping standing wheat from the same field, he then pasted the standing wheat video over the circle video and then faded out the standing wheat video and added the fake "orbs". You didnt notice that he miraculously knew exactly where to aim his camera? (he knew where because the circles were already there) You didnt notice that he didnt follow the fake "orbs"? ((thats because they werent there!) The video IS fake.

[GrandDizzy]

This video is clearly fake. The circles have no shadows while they're being formed. Shadows only appear round the outside edges of the completed shadows. It just looks like one image being wiped into another image.

[nthnjkry]

I love how sooo many people are experts on who made them but no one can explain the technology used to create them.

[GrandDizzy]

@nthnjkry

I could make a video like this no problem with most video editing software, and I have extremely little experience of creating video special effects.

[katytron1]

@GrandDizzy  so do it! tALK IS CHEAP!

[GrandDizzy]

@katytron1 I have no need or desire to.

[wigmeistergeneral]

@GrandDizzy wanker

[GrandDizzy]

@wigmeistergeneral If you had used video editing software you would know that this really is very easy to do and takes almost no skill or experience. You just get two images and wipe from one to the other. It's EXTREMELY basic. They were doing these kind of video special effects in the 70s. To call me a wanker for simply pointing this out, you are showing your ignorance.

[Gnickk]

Why do some of the commenters here say "It is a FACT that all crop circles are man-made." It's not a fact that they're made by aliens, either, but it certainly isn't a fact that anything is made by humans until it's proven. It is the extreme of anti-intellectualism around calling things FACT FACT FACT as if that made it so.

[nonnyapple]

fake!!!! all fake!!! you wanna tell me that of all the hundreds of crop circles they have "found" (made) no one has ever seen this huge ship that is making them??? don't think so!!!!

[the23enigma133]

and how do you know theyre ALL man made? were you there for ALL of em where you...pfft dickhead

[mike4ty4]

@the23enigma133 It is, however, far more likely than aliens making them, given the evidence collected from these things.

[TH3SP1D3R]

this is real ....

[Anglichanen]

why would he go through the trouble of doing that and then saying its a hoax? i saw a different video with the camera following the balls and it was moving at a high rate of speed. Its hard to say. Yes he could be a stooge to cover this up. Imagine the panic if it was confirmed as real. Religions would start to be in doubt and aleins would be accepted.

[youstupidmoron]

It is fake, this is the original video, I dont care what version you claim to have seen, if there was another one it would have been posted on YouTube years ago, There is no video of the camera following the fake orbs. There would be no panic because anyone with a functioning brain knows that all crop circles are man made. I know you "believers" want with all your heart to believe crop circles are made by "balls of light" or some other supernatural being, but it isnt so, they are man made.

[BiologicalUnit2380]

well there you go. they're all fake bs .

[playmarto]

There was a suggestion today on the crop circleconnector that crop circles are not even real, but just photo shop pics some are real but most seem to be a hoax. The comment seems to have been removed quite quickly though?.

[youstupidmoron]

Crop circles arent photoshopped, they are simply man made, there is nothing sinister about them, they are simply works of art. I know "believers" wish the were made by aliens, but they arent, they are ALL man made! All of them! There is no conspiracy involved. If aliens were smart enough to get here, they would certainly be smart enough to communicate with us in a way we could understand, besides, crop circles are simply ambiguous designs with no hidden meaning. They are all man made, fact!

[juliasix]

youstupidmoron.- apt name BTW.

This is not the original footage!

Frame 0:46 to 0:47 has been edited out .

Why go to the trouble of making a hoax video only to have bad editing?

Also Truthseeker666 has not replied as to how he elongates the nodes in the stems and leaves residule electromagnetic fields in the circles?

[youstupidmoron]

There are no "residual electromagnetic fields", that is pure crap spewed by the so called "crop circle researchers", and the crap about "elongated nodes" is a bunch of garbage as well. Those "crop circle researchers" make up some ridiculous garbage trying to fool people into thinking they are "alien". They make those claims at every circle we make. It's funny that they refuse to have any independent lab work done to back their claims, they know they will be proven to be liars.

[youstupidmoron]

This is the original footage, who cares if you think one lousy frame is missing. My GOD! The entire secret of the universe must be in the one frame you claim is missing! It must be a government conspiracy! The reason truthseeker hasn't replied about elongated nodes is because no such thing has ever occurred, you are simply the victim of a "researchers" silly claims. Ask them where their independant lab reports are, I have, they have none! They dont want to be found as the frauds they are!

[youstupidmoron]

This video was proven fake when John Wabe admitted he made it at work, he simply taped a circle made by two guys the night before, taped standing wheat from the same field, pasted the standing wheat video over the circle video and slowly faded it out and added the fake "orbs". I am surprised people are still falling for that video! You didnt notice he didnt follow the "orbs"and knew where to aim the camera before the circle was even there? You people are gullible! Crop circles are all man made

[clebo99]

Funny, I was just watching this on TV and they showed this video and I had to look it up on youtube to see how it was done. While I was always skeptical of it being real, it's a pretty good job. That I thought was good was the camera movement. It didn't seem "stop motion" or anything.

[youstupidmoron]

It's fake all right, no one notices that the camera never follows the balls of light and that he knew exactly how to frame the shot so the entire circle would be in the frame, thats because the circle was already there and he didnt follow the orbs because they weren't there until he added them later. The guy admits it freely, he has no reason not to. The government isnt trying to force him to lie and be a stooge, that is just ridiculous! It, like all crop circles are man made, that is a fact

[clebo99]

Yea.....Makes me want to start playing with my Vegas Movie Studio software and see if I can do something like that.

[melvh]

the dude is an asshole.

[truthseekers666]

the dude might have misled everyone but it only goes to show how easily misled people are.

[emann1066]

Made on a Mac. ;-P

[TheArtofDrawing]

This don't really help me, I mean, little balls of light? Thats amazing? Huh a little bit more than that. Hoax!!!!!! Yay!!!!!

[phylofirst]

((WHITE BROTHERHOOD THEY WORK FOR YOU)) i cant tell about this footage BUT WHITE BALLS ARE REAL yOU could see them on the news in 6  or 7 differant video and about a 100 other video THEY ARE THE ((WHITE BROTHERHOOD)) and yes they do crop circles

[TheArtofDrawing]

Yes yes, Ok ok, whatever you say.

[KrisMTL]

LOL i love how people STILL BELIEVE it although the guy who made it said it was fake and done with computer graphics LOL

[PhoenixTheKnight]

@KrisMTL you are a cunt

[benthejrporter]

@KrisMTL Do you believe him? Supposing it's a double bluff; supposing THIS time he's lying and the footage is real. You know this footage was analyzed at the time and no SFX were detected. With the quality, and availibility, of top SFX nowadays you can easily fool video experts, but back then it was much harder.

[CdRullzzz]

@KrisMTL Really? Ahh its ok then , cause it's done with computer graphics...Fuckin ignorant, arogant people that you are. Have you any idea how hard is to replicate a simple motion with computer graphics? much less bind a complex animation and still retain a sense of realness to it? You just post some shit you hear some jackass sayin, but you believe that! You dont believe on the other hand, what's pretty obvious. Making something like this requires a complex studio and a team. I doubt its fake.

[jozsefkacsa]

@CdRullzzz You're 100% right these idiots just saying what they heard and turn around claim it as a proven fact!!Now I'm not saying it isn't a Fake nor it isn't.All I know that many Crop Circles report those flying balls of lights and many actually Recorded at night and Day time.I've seen Man made Crop Circles but what I've seen u could definitely tell were made by ppl.Some of them are just to perfect and without the tracks so i say the're legit.Thanx and Peace

[Famguy1987]

couple of math geeks some rope and wooden planks

[araeshkigal]

Doesn't this only prove that the video of how the circle was formed is faked? I mean...ok glowing balls did not instantly make a crop cirle ...but what *did*?

[mkutz007]

great point. This doesnt explain how that crop circle was acctually made. I do have to say though, that when i first saw this video, I did believe it. I should have noticed that the camera man didnt follow the balls of light

[LORDMETALMAN]

nice editing lol

[theshortansweris]

It was made by John Wabe in 1996 or 1997, at a small video production company called First Cut Studio. He took some simple video of the completed crop circle, and ran it through their Quantel Paintbox. In a video broadcast on the Discovery Channel, he showed how he rubber-stamped other pieces of the wheatfield background to "erase" the crop circle, and then un-erased it bit by bit underneath some flying white dots that he added. He added some shake and some artificial generation loss too.

[BeSkeptical]

It's amazing how people will do anything to maintain a belief.

[hemglass87]

it's like the bible

[elmolester]

@BeSkeptical - "It's amazing how people will do anything to maintain a belief." like ignore evidence to maintain a belief in skepticism? Oxymoronic as it sounds, hardline skeptics believe in a defined hypothesis and ignore contrary evidence. "hoaxers must have done it, as I can't find any other rational explanation and my mind is too limited to think beyond this theory". Funny how skepticism instead of being about open minded inquiry is usually more of a dogmatic belief itself. god loves irony
