I still stand by the argument that you need something original to hoax.

A hoax is to put on a stunt that mystifies people. I see circular marks in my fields all the time. Deer do it. I ask my kids and their friends what made the marks. I never had one kid suggest it was aliens, mysterious vortices, crystal power, flying pyramids, harmonic convergences, ... whatever. Kids think dogs, deer, people, raccoons, and other animals.

That's why I ask the kids about the marks in the field. I want them to think about what they see. I see the deer getting up from t he fields and already know what made the marks.
An open mind does not mean open to frivolous notions. There is no need to consider the ridiculous before the common. Open mind does not mean beginning with the bizarre ideas first, or even considering some new and unknown forces, energies, ...
What I clearly recall when crop circles was big was the close mindedness of the crop circle researchers that were very clear that the crop circles could not be man made.
