Google runs crop circle logo in Pacific region countries
Source: Examiner

Google has put up a special “crop circle” logo in some Pacific region countries. Google Japan, China, Taiwan, Korea, and Australia all have up the special logo today, September 15th, which features a UFO hovering over a field with the Google logo spelled out.

Each country that Google used the special logo had it linked to a search for that country's word for “crop circle”. In Japan, the link went to a search for “mystery circles.” However, not all Pacific countries are using the logo. Google Vietnam, Singapore, and Philippines, for instance, just had up their standard front page.

About the Google Crop Circle logo

The special Google logo specifically features the UFO over a field that is being harvested by what looks like a tractor. Interestingly, while the ‘g’ ‘o’ ‘o’ ‘g’ and ‘e’ of Google look like classic crop circles, the tractor has carved out the ‘l’. At the same time the name of the logo is goog_e.gif.

The image comes about 10 days after Google.com had a UFO logo on its main international page that linked to a search for “unexplained phenomena.” In the case of that logo, one of the ‘o’ ‘s was being abducted, and the image name was go_gle.gif.

Why Google is using the crop circle logo has yet to be explained. If you have any guesses, let us know!

I got the logo in California when I went to the www.google.com homepage, before I typed in a search.

This appeared August 8, 2009 in the Netherlands. Don't tell me it was done by a pack of hoaxters. I regard Crop Circles as an EXQUISITE MYSTERY.

11. Who says Crop Circles are made by aliens?
Edited on Tue Sep-15-09 10:11 AM by Octafish


We don't know who makes them.



It's safe to say, it seems like there's an intelligence behind them, though.

PS: To give an idea of scale, the parallel lines going through the images are tractor tire paths, about 5-feet between the line pairs.

You are correct, my Friend. Crop Circles are an exquisite mystery.

9. I think the people at google are either watching too much LOST or
too many reruns of the x-files.
