San Francisco, CA -- The answer behind those mysterious crop circles may soon be cropping up, thanks to a paranormal investigator in San Francisco.

Jon-Erik Beckjord has been experimenting with sending messages to E.T.s for the last 13 years, using all sorts of symbols and words in his attempts.

But now he thinks the secret language may be binary code.

Beckjord recently visited Wiltshire, England -- a place known as Crop Circle Country -- and spray painted a message on a 73-foot-long plastic sheet reading "What do you want from us?" in a form of binary code and ASCII text.

Apparently, the E.T.s are big computer nerds because Beckjord believes his message got immediate attention. He says the next day a crop circle appeared a mile from his message site showing three birds, with circles trailing from their wingtips, which he interprets to mean, "Be free,like birds."

Still, more research needs to be done and Beckjord plans to send more binary messages to the aliens by arranging cars in binary patterns on a rooftop.
