    Stone can even form hexagonal pillars/ patterns. I don’t know why people are surprised. It’s called columnar jointing (for my example).

      It’s not so much that they’re surprised, it’s that they won’t accept prosaic explanations when there are more interesting fantastical ones.

      No no no. You don’t understand. What that means is that aliens are actually hexagonal and they’re just sending a message that they are that shape. For some reason.
