Have crop circles stopped appearing or are they just not broadcast in the media?

Seems crop circles/UFO sightings were heavy in the 70s-90s but you NEVER hear about it now.

Crop circles were proven to be a man-made hoax. If you Google it you can see how they did it.

There are still UFO sightings but I agree there were way more in the 80s . Seemed to peak then along with satanic panic. Maybe it was a side effect of the Cold War.

Pretty much gone the same way as Cattle Mutilations which were also big during that period. They still happen-but the media go along with the general belief that they are man-made by students, attention seekers, artists etc. The media kind of lost interest after the incredible blitz of the late 1980's to the mid 1990's & some of the writers drifted off into other areas of earth mysteries & the like as they became more popular.

UFO sightings have dropped by 80% since the proliferation of cell phone cameras. Thats not a coincidence. A lot of people staging ufo sightings in the 80's with their bulky home video cameras. Cant pull that stuff off anymore with everyone having a video camera in their pocket.

There have been UFO sightings as of February 2017,but most sightings have seen the UFO already landed or being transported on a semi trailer at midnight.
It is said that all of this is the same UFO.

Yet the people filming them, big cats Bigfoot etc are still somehow using 1980's technology to film them.

I never gave this segment much of a look before but it's pretty interesting despite the eventual outcome. That English couple who were telling that story about when they saw one being created at night always cracks me up. Also the Professor interview Archie E Roy reminds me so much of the actor that portrayed Eric Kessler from that fraud segment!

Both still happen, the media generally does not report them for whatever reason.
Both peaked in the Cold War years however and may have been related to that.
Some were of course hoaxes, but the bulk have not been proven to be such.
