This theory echoes earlier propositions by atmospheric physicist Terren Meiden, who, in the 1980s, suggested that the forces responsible for creating crop circles might stem from phenomena such as plasma vortices—essentially electrical whirlwinds that could theoretically swirl down and imprint complex designs upon the crops.
Eyewitness accounts have often reported the presence of whirlwinds and even mysterious orbs of light near crop circle sites, serving to reinforce these theories, though the existence of plasma vortices remains unproven.
