TOP 10 MOST FAMOUS UFO HOAXES

Sun Oct 16, 2011 1:47 am » by **Frutty**

Few things are more gratifying to the creatively competitive than hoodwinking one’s fellow humans. Coupling a desire for fame with a mischievous streak can spell great entertainment for one person, and vast cultural adaptation for the rest of us.

Whenever a hoax is proven to be a hoax, not everyone listens. Some believers remain believers for the rest of their lives, no matter how unlikely their claims. The indellible cultural watermark created by hoaxing is exemplified in the ten most famous UFO hoaxes of the last few decades. -- Currie Jean

Lots of hoax crop circles these days but how do you explain them being around hundreds of years ago?

The info has been posted on the site before a few times now. Its been awhile since I read it all but theres documents going back a few hundred years where the devil came to do some lawn mowing and laws about not planting in those circles. Anyway I dont have the details at hand sorry

That's junk journalism. They provide no evidence that proves Roswell to be a hoax nor do they debunk or explain the source of crop circles. They just recycle the same old garbage that has been around since the beginning. Waste of time.
