Crop circles baffle Naperville farmer

Saturday, July 27, 2002

NAPERVILLE, Ill. (AP) -- Caution Naperville residents: a soybean destroying alien may be on the loose.

That or a huge M. Night Shyamalan fan.

Someone -- or something -- cut a crop circle in Steve Berning's soybean field last weekend, damaging more than 10 percent of the 8-acre field.

"Have you ever heard of something so crazy?" Berning said. "Unbelievable."

Shyamalan's big-budget film "Signs," which will be released Aug. 2, tells the story of a Pennsylvania farmer who finds mysterious crop circles in his fields.

The Naperville circle's intricate pattern of broken, concentric rings loosely resembles other crop circles found in England. Berning blames pranksters for the "hoax," but some crop circle investigators suggest other causes, such as magnetic fields, wind storms or UFOs.

William Leone, an investigator with the Mutual UFO Network, said soil analysis could determine whether the circles have human or extraterrestrial origins.

The UFO theory doesn't fly with Illinois Farm Bureau spokesman Dennis Vercler.

"Since I don't believe in UFOs -- at least not soybean-destroying UFOs -- I have to assume whoever did this did it intentionally as a malicious prank."

Berning said he hopes to find the culprit, but does not think anything can be done about the circle.

"There's some damage, which upsets me," he said. "But I'm more curious than anything. I'll always be asking questions."

Cereal spin doctors

Crop circles: Precursors to a close encounter with ET or merely catering to the public's appetite for 'occult metaphors'?

Rick DelVecchio, Chronicle Staff Writer
On April Fool's Day four years ago, Joe Nickell issued his skeptics' Top 10 list of the world's hardiest paranormal hoaxes. His prime examples included the Amityville Horror, King Tut's Curse, psychic surgery and the Roswell saucer crash.

Nickell, an investigator for the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal in Amherst, N.Y., is still surprised by the tenacity of one item on his list: crop circles.

"You would have thought that at some point the phenomenon would peter out, that it would cease," he said, "but it's taken on a life of its own." And it's about to become even more popular.

Three new films -- including Hollywood's first crop-circle blockbuster, which opens Friday and stars Mel Gibson -- explore the large-scale geometric patterns formed by the flattening of grain stalks in rural fields, characteristically in southeastern England.

The International Crop Circle Database has cataloged 2,000 crop formations, some going back to the 1950s. It logged three of unknown origin in the mid- 1990s in Santa Rosa, Gilroy and in a field of wild oats near a yoga retreat center in Watsonville overlooking Monterey Bay.

Reported formations so far this year number 48, including 34 in the United Kingdom. Other hot spots are Germany and the Netherlands. A few have been made in the United States. Virtually all are the work of hoaxers, Nickell says.

That crop circles resist the tramplings of skeptics seems to result from their ability to inspire feelings of awe, serenity, oneness, beauty or fear among followers from Christians to New Age spiritual devotees to scientists with a metaphysical bent.

The most elaborate formations have the symmetry of a Hindu mandala, or the interlocking bands of a Methodist flow chart from post-Revolutionary America.

Nickell says they spark more ferocious feelings than almost any other phenomenon he investigates, with the possible exception of the Shroud of Turin, debunked as Christ's burial cloth.

Some of the designs are simple: The one reported in 1997 on Mount Madonna, near Watsonville, swirled counterclockwise in a single curve, 4 feet in diameter, according to the database. Others are quizzical: A peace symbol reported in a Gilroy field in 1996.

The crop circle phenomenon is bigger than most Earth mysteries because of the formations' visual appeal. There are "circular" calendars, T-shirts and pendants.

What's called the formations' "sacred geometry" fills New Age conferences, books and videos.

Dutch physicist Eltjo Haselhoff's "The Deepening Complexity of Crop Circles, " a full-color production by Berkeley's Frog Ltd., delves into circle-related scientific oddities and contemplates the formations' Euclidean precision.

The three new movies see circles as awe-inspiring. In Disney's "Signs," a formation appears in farmer Mel Gibson's cornfield. Bad news: It's a landing site for hostile aliens.

In "Crop Circles: Quest for Truth," documentary producer-director William Gazecki says there are far too many circles in England alone for all of them to be fakes. Are they "navigational points," messages, warnings?

The crop circle-studded countryside of England's Wiltshire district -- home of the world's first cafe with a crop-circle theme -- is the setting for the British film "A Place to Stay," a love story between a traveler and a Gypsy.

The movies are appearing as the circle season hits its annual peak in August, just prior to the harvest.

The 2002 season has produced at least one sensation already. Inscribed on the Fourth of July near England's ancient stone circle of Stonehenge was a six-pointed pattern of what appear to be flying ribbons. Nothing like it had been seen before.

Many of the devotees, known as cerealogists or "croppies," say such impressions signify life-affirming forces. There's lively talk about whether the forces are natural, extraterrestrial, interdimensional or "the mind of God. "

"What is the best way for one species to communicate with another species? Not by language but by mathematics, which is universal," said Joshua Shapiro, chairman of the World Mystery Research Center.

The formations have crossover appeal to those who believe in ecological catastrophe, who see them as messages for, or from within, the sacred, maligned Earth. But to skeptics, the circles are human creations intended to service public demand for "occult metaphors," which are as old as the resurrection of Christ.

Dennis Stacy of San Antonio, Texas, publisher of the journal the Anomalist, took part in two expeditions to English circles in the early 1990s. He sent back crop samples to the first U.S. researchers, but later his doubts grew.

"We've had sporadic crop circles in this country, and by the same token we've never had anything of the complexity of English crop circles," he said. "If these are being made by alien crop circle-makers, why do they make such crappy circles in the United States and Canada and such exquisite ones over there?"

One reason: English wheat fields have tractor wheel paths that offer covert access without leaving telltale footprints. Another: The fields are thick, uniform and easily shaped. People with simple tools can sneak in and create impressive formations in no time.

A 1960s UFO flap in several countries featured weedy swirls known as "saucer nests." Two English pranksters had this image in mind when they started the modern circle trend in 1978, Nickell said.

Crop pictograms came in 1990 and grew more embroidered over time. They continue to evolve -- twisted, beaded, braided. Circle-makers are "honorable pagan artists" trying to make a better world through covert action, said Ron Russell of Aurora, Colo., a 64-year-old artist and scientist who has investigated the trend. "Plus, when they make it, they get what I would call a juju experience," said Russell, who grew up in Menlo Park. "That is, they get contact with something from beyond." But he says not all formations are human made. He can't explain the 400 simple circles of six to 20 feet in diameter that appeared worldwide over hundreds of years before the modern trend began.

Just weeks ago, several such swirls appeared in wheat fields in Canada's Prince Edward Island after wicked thunderstorms passed over. Along with physicist and author Haselhoff, Russell is one of the few of a scientific bent who are studying the mystery.

Their research focuses on strange emanations of heat, light and other forms of energy -- the source, says Russell, of the "juju experience." Both men argue that the subject deserves intensive study.

Haselhoff said the formations showed "a great amount of curious plant alterations" that couldn't be reproduced by mechanical flattening. "Some of these are cellular changes, and dramatic changes in the germination behavior of seeds," he said. He believes that some method exists to allow the formations to be created at a distance. "Heat is involved, emitted by something that manifests itself as a ball of light," he said. "Very rich people playing a silly game?" he said. "Aliens? The military? It's no use to speculate as long as we don't even understand the basic mechanism of crop-circle creation."

RECOMMENDED READING

CROP CIRCLES REVEALED
Language of the Light Symbols

Judith Moore and Barbara Lamb have written what I think is the definitive book on Crop Circles. Together they have decoded and helped to interpret and understand the ascension purposes for many of the current crop circles, and truly added something unique to the current new age literature. It is a beautifully illustrated book as well, with many color photographs. A truly great way to open to the higher dimensional connections coming to the Earth and all who are ready. Highly recommended!!!

Scalar wave technology is used to create crop circles. It has nothing to do with UFOs.

This is a vast site and has lots to read if you're so inclined. The folowing quote is taken from around the middle of the site.

quote:
In fact there are a great many anomalous events of the past few decades which might very well be explained by the Russian testing of their longitudinal electomagnetic weapons. It would seem that the mysterious appearance of crop circles around the world could be accomplished by feeding a precise mathematical graphic pattern into the computerized aiming software and change the molecular structure of the crops themselves along the line of that pattern. The stalks fall over from the localized effect of the longitudial waves. A plasma ball tracing patterns? Are they slyly sending a message to see if we are "getting it" yet?

Crop circles appear in Quebec barley field

Last Updated Tue, 06 Aug 2002 11:04:29

MONTREAL - A dairy farmer near Montreal is trying to figure out how a series of mysterious circles appeared in his barley crop.

John Peddie chuckles at all the attention his field is drawing. "I've no idea how they were made, but they're certainly well made. It's a mystery to me," he said.

Peddie says, however, that he doesn't believe anything extraterrestrial is responsible – like flying saucers. Neither does Andre Bordeleau, a lecturer at the Montreal planetarium. He says the circles are man-made, someone used a plank to flatten the grain.

It's the repetition of a hoax started decades ago by two artists in England. But Bordeleau admits there isn't a lot he can do to stop people from believing UFOs are responsible. "That's why The X Files was nine years on TV. People are interested in that kind of stuff. They'd like to believe that there's unexplained events, that there's a paranormal aspect of their lives. It makes it exciting, I guess."

Bordeleau notes the crop circles have appeared suspiciously close to the release of a new Hollywood movie based on the practice.

---Physical changes of plants and soil

---Equipment malfunctions

---Emit sound at 5KHz frequency

---Anomalous EM measurements

---Occur far from any tramlines

---Human physical side effects

---Rapid heating of plant stalks

Sure sounds like EM scalar technology to me.

I've seen a lot of different pictures of highly intrepid crop circles and one thing is for sure, there's not a snowflakes chance in hell that this can be done with a 'plank'.

I think it was yesterday morning on the Today Show (NBC) that I happened to catch a segment on this young artist who had won this contest by creating and Elvis image in this grassy field - an image that could only be recognized and appreciated from the air. Of course, an aerial view of the artist's work was shown as was he flying in a small plane over his creation. This image, although impressive, was no where near the complexity of many of these crop circles and it was done by mowing grass with tractors and push mowers. Also, the laying out of this piece on the ground with ropes, string and stakes to indicate what was to be mowed and where was no walk in the park either - It took considerable time and effort to pull this off (in the daylight).

From my personal experience in laying out where a new building's footings are to be dug by the backhoe operator it is not something that is done without some time and effort involved. Even if the building is a simple rectangle it takes some careful thought and action to get it right. Not only that, when I go onto that field or lot the surveyors have already been there staking out key points of the property as my reference points to measure from.

Conclusion: There is no way that people are coming into these fields, in the cover of dark no less, and are going around with planks creating these geometrically intricate patterns. In fact, that idea is totally ludicrous to me!

Whether its Aliens in UFOs leaving a message on the bulletin board (Earth) for other space travellers passing by or some bored sentinel hovering in our space above having some fun with the bushmen below or even some of our fellow humans training with scalar tech, I don't know. In any case, the significance of these crop circles remains unknown but having that mysterious phenomena going on certainly provides a lot of entertainment for a whole lot of people.

You've probably already seen this one from 4 July 02 but there's a short and typical article with photo at this location (it's really quite incredible):

If I had money to bet, I'd put it on Scalar, ELF, microwave type tech. causing these phenomenon.

Aliens? yeah, right!
Maybe genetically engineered NAZI's in Washington, London, Moscow...

There was a slight mistake in the link Hoople. You had quale instead of quayle in the URL. The link works now.

There seems to be more than one explanation for the phenomena with a human component as well as a higher intelligence though I can't rule out the possibility of scaler or related technologies.

I did recently see a video of the hoaxers and it was quite impressive. They entered a field at night and over a period of six hours, they were able to make a pretty impressive formation using boards.

I remember hearing about ine incident in particular in which some asian tourists meditated in a field and concentrated on one geometric shape. After a while, their noses began to bleed and not long afterward, the shape that they had been concentrating on formed in the field. I have to see if I can find the account, but if true, it would tend to be a phenomenon caused by an intelligent higher energy force capable of being manipulated.

It could be quite possible that this energy, if it does indeed exist as I suspect, could be being manipulated by extraterrestrial life forms and could be very similar to psychokinetic energy.

Some ancient cultures mentioned some mysterious energy that was said to be able to move objects such as large stones and what we are seeing with crop circles could just be another manifistation of this energy.

Crop Formations Circle Planet

August 1, 2002
By Rosanne Lin, The Shanghai Star

One of the first documented reports of a crop circle formation - the unexplained geometric designs that occur in fields of wheat and corn - appeared in 1678 Stirlingshire, Scotland. But this phenomenon was largely ignored until the 1970s and 80s when formations began to appear with increasing frequency around the globe. Today most countries - with the exception of China - are said to have experienced crop circle phenomena.

Yet is China really devoid of these unusual creations? Certainly, if someone or something is trying to communicate with mankind through patterns carved into crops, China's sizable population could not be ignored.

Western experts have obviously failed to carefully consider the data from this country. One only has to refer to the work of Zhang Hui, a research fellow at the Xinjiang Museum in Urumqi, to find evidence that suggests China - with its long history - experienced crop circle phenomena long before any other civilization on the planet.

Zhang claims to have harvested more than 20 stone patterns appearing to match crop circle formations from other countries, but pre-dating them by up to 3,000 years.

After discovering several of these stone circle patterns, which range from simple circles to more elaborate shapes, in the grasslands of Qinghe County beside the Sino-Mongolian border, Zhang was intrigued. He quickly headed to Beijing to consult Chinese translations of reference works by British crop circle experts.

He was amazed by the similarities.

Zhang believes the primitive people of the region, after witnessing the formation of actual crop circles, concluded that the designs were a form of communication from the gods and responded in kind to the divine messages by placing rocks in the shape of the circles.

For Zhang, these stone arrangements prove China has experienced crop circle phenomena - possibly more recently than imagined.

According to Zhang, one rare eyewitness described seeing a crop circle appear in a Northeast China field in only a short time while he was in the company of Red Guards. However, as the event occurred during the "cultural revolution" (1966-76), when such superstition was illegal, the account went undocumented.

If crop circles are an attempt at communication from an unknown source, then what is this source and who is supposed to receive the message?

Humans, being ego-centric creatures, naturally assume the messages hidden in the crop circles are meant for mankind. But what about the other species inhabiting our planet. As in Douglas Adam's novel, "So long and thanks for all the fish" - where dolphins were actually alien observers studying the human race as a psychologist studies rats in a maze - humans may not be the most advanced species on the earth.

Possibly, the messages are meant for the legions of cockroach species which inhabit the darker corners of our daily life. After all, following mankind's inevitable self-destruction in a nuclear holocaust, cockroaches will be the only creatures left alive.

Circles crop up in Iowa

By JOANNE BOECKMAN
Register Staff Writer

08/10/2002

Close encounters of the crop kind - they're out there.Crop circles, the shapes within a farm crop created by flattened plants, have been reported in Iowa, one as recently as last year near Iowa City.

Interest in the phenomenon has been heightened by the newly released movie, "Signs," starring Mel Gibson as a farmer who finds an elaborate design in his field.

The movie puts its own spin on alien forces creating crop circles, but real-life theories are just as intriguing.Plasma forces, vandals stepping on boards or some other unidentified natural phenomenon - and yes, even aliens - are ideas batted around by cerealogists, or those who study crop circles.

"The bottom-line explanation is, they are an anomaly," said Beverly Trout of Mitchellville. She is the Iowa director of the Mutual UFO Network, a worldwide nonprofit organization of volunteers who investigate suspected crop circles.Mufon members - 3,000 worldwide, 32 in Iowa - also look into UFO sightings, animal mutilations and suspected landing traces.

Trout does believe in aliens, but she stops just short of saying aliens create crop circles."We need to look at crop formations for what they are, rather than what we'd like them to be," she emphasizes.

Trout prefers to approach formations as scientifically as possible.She and other Mufon members look for obvious signs of a hoax by examining the area for footprints or tire marks and checking for broken plant stalks or stems.

They take measurements, record observations and gather several plant and soil samples within and outside the formation. The samples are sent to a lab for analysis.

Trout said Mufon members are meticulous about checking crop circles because the last thing they want is to be scammed.It's the scams that have received the most publicity, especially in England, where two men first claimed to be creators of crop designs.

A few years ago, they showed the media how they attached a rope handle to a wide board to make the circles. Holding onto the rope and putting their feet alternately on the board, they flattened stalks as they walked in a spiral.This also was the method for making the crop circles for "Signs."

Trout speculates that authentic crop circles have been around for hundreds of years all over the world, but only in the last few years have people begun to report them - perhaps because of the attention generated by hoaxes.

One source said about 200 crop circles are reported annually around the world. Colin Andrews, a scientific consultant for the current movie, claims 80 percent of circles are hoaxes.

"He has absolutely no way of knowing that," said Nancy Talbott, president of BLT Research Team Inc., which tests the plants and soil from crop circles."You'd have to sample them all to know that," she said, "and it's never happened."

Talbott, who lives in Cambridge, Mass., has a grant from Laurance Rockefeller for work on crop circles. She said she has stopped sampling in England because of the large number of hoaxes there.

"We're interested in phenomena, not hoaxes," she explained.Her network of scientists - which until recently included Michigan biophysicist William C. Levengood, the "L" in BLT - has analyzed crop circles in Holland, Germany, Israel, Australia, Canada and the United States, as well as England, for the last decade.

While the majority of formations appear in cereal crops such as rye, oats, barley and wheat, they also have been discovered in vegetables, soybeans, carrots, rape (canola), corn, reeds, grass and others.

The crop circles reported in Iowa tend to be simpler than the elaborate designs seen abroad.In August 1995, a teardrop-shaped formation was found in a cornfield near Arlington, Ia. It measured about 11 feet in diameter and was unusual because the cornstalks were all pressed into the ground toward the center. None were broken.

In 1996, farmer Brett Anderson was harvesting a soybean field southwest of Nevada when he encountered an area of flattened beans. Two weeks later, he found another formation in a cornfield.Last year, Ed Williams was combining his wheat near Iowa City when he discovered a circle there.

The formation in Anderson's soybean field was slightly ovoid, about 30 feet in diameter and surrounded by a 31/2-foot-wide ring. The beans were flattened in a counterclockwise swirl, tightly twisted in the center. The seeds were intact within the pods.Anderson, now 44, said he was impressed that the plant stems were not broken.

"Normally when they're ready for harvest, they're dry and they break," he said. "They don't bend." A scientist observed the roots were bent in the opposite direction from the plant stem, Anderson said.

Two weeks later, a teardrop-shaped formation was discovered in Anderson's cornfield. It was 35 feet at the widest point. Stalks were swirled counterclockwise.Two more teardrop-shaped formations were found in hayfields on adjoining land.The following year, Anderson was baffled by something else that happened during the harvest.

Soybeans planted where the corn had been the year before were green where the crop circle had been, and the seedpods were not mature. The rest of the crop was brown.

"What was amazing is that the stems had twice the nodules. They should have taken more nitrogen - nutrients - from the soil, but these plants were stunted," Anderson said.

In Iowa City, Williams thought at first that a weather phenomenon caused his wheat to lie clockwise in a circle within a ring about 60 feet in diameter.

He called his brother, an airline pilot, and they talked about microbursts, or strong winds that occasionally down planes.A climatologist told Williams the configuration was too large for that.

Two agronomists from Iowa State University drove over to look at the formation. One of them, Dr. Stan Henning, dismissed it as man-made.

No tracks showed up, he said, because it was dry. Someone could have walked in the tracks - called tramlines - made by Williams' tractor when he sprayed the field a few weeks earlier.

"It looked more like something more mechanical than the wind," Henning said. He also found weeds in the circle that looked to him as if a board had scraped over them.

Williams, now 54, wasn't convinced. He was puzzled by the intricate herringbone weaving of the straw within the circle. Besides, he said, "it wasn't a perfect circle. It was flattened at one point. If someone had done that with a rope, I would have thought it would be better than that."

Trout said by the time Williams called Mufon, the Iowa City field was too degraded for her to determine whether it was a hoax.

Crop circles that are not confirmed hoaxes demonstrate similar characteristics after testing, Talbott said.

If plants are young at the time an unexplained crop circle forms, there is interference with the reproduction qualities of the plant, she said. If they are mature, the seeds weigh less but grow larger, even up to seven days without light or water.

There is evidence that the plants have been exposed to a complex energy system, similar to a microwave, because only the moisture inside the plants was affected, and the plants were not burned.

Also, in the unexplained crop circles, nodes on plant stems closer to the center of the circle are longer than those toward the outside of the circle, another indication of microwave energy.[b/]

Biophysicist Levengood also has discovered the presence of tiny, nearly pure spheres of iron in the soil where crop circles occur. He theorized a magnetic field draws particles in, heats them to a molten state and disperses them in a rotating fashion in the formation.

"We've done studies after flattening the crops ourselves, and none of the plant aberrations and magnetic material stuff occurs," Talbott said. "The pranks-with-planks bit is not what's going on."What BLT scientists have found points to some sort of plasma, or energy system, Talbott said.

"The real question is: Is it spontaneously generated, or is it manufactured?" she asked.

Her theory of a plasma hitting earth - something similar to a lightning strike - might explain why some Iowans claimed they witnessed bright white lights in tubular shapes over the farm fields where the crop circles were later found.

Anderson, the Nevada farmer, has his own notion of unexplained crop circles.

"My theory is that either there's a lot of science yet to be discovered or we do have visitors from outer space."

Has anyone thought of the possibility that ETs are using hightly advanced scalar EM waves to make crop formations from many, many light years away, trying to communicate with us?

Given the potential of what scalar EM waves are capable of, it's not really that far-fetched.

Maybe a visible crop formation is better than a digital microwave signal......

It's possible G/M

Here's one crop formation that hasn't gotten too much press for some reason.


The 2002 'Alien Face' Formation

Articles: Paul Vigay takes a preliminary look at the 2002 'Alien Face' formation.

quote:
On Thursday 15th August 2002 I first heard that there had been an 'impressive' new formation discovered just to the west of Winchester (Hampshire, UK). Lucy Pringle immediately flew over the formation, confirming its location at Crabwood Farm, between Pitt and Sparsholt (SU 445295) and emailed me some initial photos - which as you can see are immediately recognisable as an 'alien face' with a circular grid containing some kind of binary data sequence.


If this one is a fake, it's a good one because of the complex binary sequence.


quote:
Going back to our spiral of binary digits in the crop formation disc, we obtain an initial grouping of 01000010 01100101 01110111 01100001 01110010 and so on, spiralling out from the centre. (see diagram). We can translate these binary sequences into their decimal equivalent and thus look them up in the ASCII character set to see what letters they correspond to.

Doing this for the whole 'disc' we get the message "Beware the bearers of FALSE gifts & their BROKEN PROMISES. Much PAIN but still time. (Damaged Word). There is GOOD out there.We OPpose DECEPTION. Conduit CLOSING (BELL SOUND)". This was originally decoded by an anonymous visitor to Linda Moulton-Howe's web site. Although I've yet to verify the entire binary sequence I got as far as the first couple of words and it did indeed read as above. I have no reason to assume the Linda's guest made a mistake, but I will continue decoding it when I have time

'I make crop circles'


'Tis the season for crop circles. And the Mel Gibson film, Signs, has renewed interest in who - or what - might make these mysterious markings.

Here, controversial crop circle maker John Lundberg tells of his nights in the Wiltshire fields. I don't regard myself as a hoaxer - I'm not interested in rug-pulling anybody. Yet the assumption is that if I make a crop circle, it must be because I want to undermine the beliefs of people who think they are not man-made.

But the myths and folklore that build up around crop circles are what fascinate me. And we've always tried to have as good a relationship as possible with the crop circle research community, even though we're at odds with it. It's like with politics - there are the moderates who are happy to coexist with us and the extremists who won't even admit that one crop circle might be manmade. They're the ones who have really demonised us. They regard us as heretics.

So some really weird conspiracy theories have grown up around us. The most amusing is that we're with the government or the secret service, that we're disinformation agents who get sent out to cover up genuine circles made perhaps by extraterrestrials, time travellers, ley lines, whatever.

My art collective - myself, Rod Dickinson and Will Russell - get thousands of abusive e-mails and phone calls. We've had attacks on our property, and one of my team had bricks thrown at him. But at least this is not America - people don't carry guns here.

Following long tradition

My group, Circlemakers, now describe what we do as art practice but at first it was just curiosity.

When in 1991 Doug Bower and Dave Chorley admitted that they had been making circles for the past 13 years, interest plummeted. We wanted to crank it up again by making formations so huge and so complex that people would once again start asking the question: 'Is it possible that these things are manmade?' As we're all based in London, we spend a lot of money on petrol and a lot of money driving up and down the M4 to Wiltshire.

The season runs from April, when the first crop is oil seed rape. In June it's barley and by mid-July it's wheat. That's the best crop to work in, that's when the most spectacular circles appear. Because each stem is upright, you can get pin sharp clarity.

We used to design the circles on paper, but because the formations have got so big, it's easier to use a computer. It's all very low-tech once we get into the field. We use surveyor's tape measure and a stalk stomper, which is basically a plank of wood.

To make a circle, one person stands in the middle as a pivot and another holds the end of the tape and walks around them.

Crop circles are treated as legitimate tourist attractions in Wiltshire. One made in 1996 got more visitors than Stonehenge and the farmer grossed about £30,000 in four weeks by charging a pound a person. Assuming a formation isn't heavily visited, the farmer will be able to lower the blades on his combine and harvest the flattened crop away.

Unexplained experiences

It sounds slightly embarrassing, but I have had a UFO sighting while making circles in Wiltshire.

It was a black cigar shape with very fast strobing lights. It appeared on the horizon and slowly arced over us, completely silent. It was a classic UFO sighting in that we didn't know what it was.

I've seen balls of cracking light at the edge of the field, which is slightly unnerving. But what I see most often is flashes of light, as if someone's holding a flashbulb in front of my eyes.

Twice this has happened while we've had journalists with us. One, from The Face, was very sceptical of that side of it. About halfway through making the formation, he came rushing up to me shouting: 'Did you see that flash of light?' He's a believer now.

It looks more like a lunar cycle to me Hoople.


East field(3), nr Alton Barnes. Wiltshire. Reported 14th August.

Also, there has been a report of a formation very similar to the one in my 08-22-2002 10:13 PM post that was carved in the ice somewhere in northern Alaska that is supposedly over 400 feet in diameter with a larger complex binary sequence. Strange lights were supposedly sighted in the area around the same time that the formation was made and there seems to be some kind of military involvement. I'll let you know if any details or pictures leak out.

The following is from: Lady Kadjina Speaks. This is about the crop formation with an alien image pictured in Dan's posting above on 8-22.

http://www.citiesoflight.net/kadjina.html


Wayne: On August 15, 2002, a crop formation was reported at Crabwood Farm House, near Winchester, Hampshire (http://cropcircleconnector.com/2002/Crabwood/crabwood2002a.html). This shows the face of an obvious ET “Grey” together with what appears to be a circular disc that seems to be made of a spiraling code of digital sequences, similar to a pattern for the creation of an image or sound (like a player piano disk). Could this be an image of the digital or thought form that created this image? Can you tell us what or who created this formation, if it is an actual portrayal of the being(s) that created it, and what is the circular part of the image attempting to tell us? Is this a sophisticated hoax done by someone on the Earth plane? Note what appear to be 3 or 4 planets or space ships in the background (portrayed as in the SOHO photos)
Initial interpretations at: http://www.earthfiles.com/news/news.cfm?ID=381&category=Environment http://www.rumormillnews.net/cgi-bin/config.pl?read=22227 http://www.rumormillnews.net/cgi-bin/config.pl?read=22232


Good morning; Captain Torqualino here. It has been some time since I have spoken with you. And at that time we commented that we are quite capable of utilizing those technologies that you have set in place for our own purposes—that we do what you would call “an override.” We can redirect your microwaves and we can even convert them to a more benevolent action. The purpose of this particular crop formation, while it is true that it was done through human technologies, it was done in cooperation with us, wherein it may have begun as a covert action, we did an override to let the people of the world know that we are here and ready to be of assistance.

We used the symbol for the Greys because they are the best known to the people of the planet. And the disc is a type of harmonic chording of certain frequencies. There is a certain similarity to the type of intonements done in the movie, “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.” The frequencies of the tones within that movie played upon the inner frequencies of the humans that had gathered, so they were not afraid to get on board the ship—it summoned them. There are three planetary types of ships denoted in this crop formation. They are part of our recycled planet activity—planets that have gone dead and have been recycled and refurbished.

This particular crop formation is intended both as a summons, wherein souls will respond, and also is intended as visual stimuli. The encodements within the circle will transmit a certain frequency pitch to those souls that have certain types of DNA activity at this time and will be of assistance in calling them forth—they will respond. We would also like to tell you that there are more and more suncruisers that are gathering, and your SOHO is picking up many images of this great gathering. We will not allow Planet Earth to be destroyed. We will not allow those of the dark agenda to take over and promote their ways of being.

Wayne: There are heavy markings that appear under the disk. Can you explain their significance?

The part of the image under the disc is a portrayal of the Grey’s hand, as though it is holding the disc not only as a projection of energy frequencies, but as a shield of protection, indicating that it will not be controlled by those of the darker agendas. And you can also see its chest and breastbone.

Crop Circle of 8/10/02 near Teton, Idaho

Wayne: In response to our message regarding the recent crop formation at Crabwood Farm, a reader refers to a crop formation that appeared 20 miles south of her in Teton, Idaho (http://www.localnews8.com/2002stories/August/12.htm) and writes: “I went out to see them and there is a subtle beautiful "love" energy that permeated me and somehow has changed me forever. I just don't know how to explain it. It is something that is like the ripple in the pond, just keeps going on and on within. Sad news is that someone drove a vehicle out there the other day and all but destroyed it. I felt personally "violated". Once again hard to describe....” Can you help to explain the source and message of this crop formation? Added 8/26/02: “My son and I went out to the circles again. They had not harvested the grain yet and in spite of the damage, most of the circles were still intact. I have always been neutral on crop circles, ETs and UFOs because I have not experienced them. BUT, once being in one, as far as I'm concerned, there is no way to doubt that there is more "out there" than meets the eye. I stood in the largest circle and had some quiet time and felt a subtle energy flow from my solar plexus up through my crown. As this was happening, there was a gentle energy pulsating in and out the left side of me. Had I been talking with someone, I would have missed the whole thing. Today, I moved away from my son and became silent in mind and body, and once again was ever so gently filled with what I can only describe as a profound love. It had no agenda, if I may say such a thing, and was sort of like some thing(s)/ones/energy/beings with numerous smiles. I really AM at a loss as to how to describe it. I feel in my heart that it was not man made. I still feel strongly that it is a message of opening up to the Love that God spoke of through Christ. In this area, as with many others, we are still having "religious wars", and so many refuse to expand their circles to take in others of "different thinking". All my son could say was, "crop circles" all the way home. He is in his late thirties and an electro-optic technician, and still has not found an "answer" as to who made them.
This particular crop formation was made by the extraterrestrials and is intended to be comforting and reassuring. Until recently, Mother Earth has been on the receiving end, or the taking end of energy transmissions. The galaxy has been nurturing her. This has changed, and this is what essentially the crop formation is saying. The large central circle is the Earth herself. The surrounding circle is representative of a protective shielding that the great archangels have encapsulated the Earth in. Going out from the Earth, beginning with the largest circle extending outward to smaller, says that the Earth is sending out energies of love and gratitude for all the assistance that she has been given and gratefully accepted. She is, in a sense, saluting the energies of the four directions. What all of this means is that, just as humans are taking back their personal power and finding strength, so is Mother Earth herself claiming her own power once again. And Mother Earth is sending out vibrations of great gratitude, love, and thanksgiving. And what the ETs are doing is trying to put into a message what Mother Earth is feeling and doing, and to encourage her to continue on in taking back her power. So therefore, humans who go to this place in a state of goodwill will be able to pick up on the vibrations of love, goodwill, comfort, reassurance, and an overall state of well being.

Addendum, September 2, 2002, from a friend of the person who asked the question:
"I went out to Teton today and saw the crop circles. I was on my way home from Rexburg when I thought about it. I had my son with me and he knew right where they were. I hadn't asked the [owners] for permission but I know all of them really well. I didn't think it would be a problem. However I still couldn't help feeling a little anxious because I hadn't talked to them. Anyway, I went out and stood in the middle of one of the small ones, I really didn't notice anything so I walked over to the big one in the center. I closed my eyes and asked if there was anything for me to know or feel. I got this extremely hot feeling in my feet and it moved up my body. I started to think it was because I was nervous about being there and so I tried to reassure myself that it was ok. My whole body began to shake on the inside and I felt like my bones were burning. It wasn't painful, but it was kind of a prickling feeling. My son wanted to go and I was starting to wonder if he wasn't right. All the way home I felt the heat, and it's been about an hour, and I am still getting prickly hot feelings in my body. I couldn't wait to tell you. Then I got home and saw your e-mail I thank you so much for telling me to go see the crop circles and the thoughts on these things. I am still not sure what I think happened but I know it was something!!!!!!"

Crop circle mystery


Staff at Kew Gardens remain stumped over who is responsible for the giant crop circle that appeared overnight in their grounds last week.

Whether it's the work of little green men, a practical joke or just a clever publicity stunt, the circle is an impressive sight.Measuring some 60ft from side to side, the pattern is stamped in the centre of a wheatfield at the riverside end of the Royal Botanic Gardens.

The flower-shape in the centre of the circle appears to be perfectly symmetrical and the wheat around the outside appears untouched.Staff at the gardens discovered the mysterious phenomenon when they came into work on Thursday morning last week.

The field had been planted specially for Kew's 'Colour Sensations' exhibition, to grow the kind of flowers, such as poppies and cornflowers, which are dying out in the countryside due to pesticides.

Press officers at the gardens are adamant that the circle is not a publicity stunt and say they are as baffled as everyone else about how it got there.

If someone broke into the gardens as part of an elaborate hoax, they would have had to climb over an 8ft high wall to get there.

A Kew Gardens spokesman said: "We have no idea how it got there. It's very strange. If someone did climb over the wall to do it, they would have to have spent a lot of time in the field, because it looks like it was quite a lot of work."

The circle is expected to attract visitors from across the country. However, it will only be visible until Sunday.

The Kew spokesman said: "We were due to harvest the wheatfield earlier this week but have delayed it to Sunday to give people the chance to witness the strange phenomenon. On Sunday afternoon, we'll be harvesting the field using traditional scythes, which should be fun to see as well."

Farm's crop circles called 'weird'

Friday, October 11, 2002

BRYCE HOFFMAN
THE SAGINAW NEWS

The mysterious appearance of two crop circles in a Fremont Township farm field so far has defied explanation, prompting some to suggest aliens have landed in Saginaw County.

Gordon G. Turner, 59, discovered the phenomena in a parcel of feed corn north of Roosevelt about a mile west of South Hemlock.

Turner said he was harvesting about 5 p.m. Wednesday when he encountered the smaller of the circles, which is about 20 feet in diameter, and wrote it off as the work of a hunter.

He stopped the tractor when he saw the larger circle, about 90 feet in diameter, four rows off.

"There's something weird here," he said. "I never saw anything like it. I don't think some weather thing could make a circle that perfect. The first thing I thought is something landed here, but I don't know."

The corn stalks are pressed flat to the ground, facing alternate directions in rows. A Thursday inspection by Turner and a Saginaw County sheriff's deputy revealed no footprints, litter or other signs of an obvious hoax, Turner said.

"I don't know what I believe anymore," he said. "It's a mystery to me."

Mature cobs of corn and a few green leaves remaining on the stalks suggest the circles are less than a couple of weeks old, said Turner, who has farmed all his life.

L. Doug Rogers, U.S. coordinator for the London-based Centre for Crop Circle Studies, tracks the phenomenon in North America. Rogers said he does not recall any previous reports of crop circles in Michigan.

"There have been more crop circles showing up in the United States this past year where there haven't been any," he said.

It would take aerial photographs, precise measurements of each circle and laboratory analysis of soil samples to determine whether these circles are candidates for paranormal explanation, said Rogers, who has studied crop circles since 1989.

"Corn is a lot more difficult to analyze than, say, wheat, barley or oats," he said.

Rogers said he believes that some crop circles are left by visitors from outer space.

"Many of the crop circles have characteristics about them that are beyond the abilities of humans to construct," he said. "It gets to be very interesting."

Signs of a hoax include a circle with ragged edges, inconsistent diameter or evidence of a pike stuck in the middle of the circle for guidance, Rogers said.

Crop circles have more to do with superstition than science, said Gerald L. Peterson, professor of psychology at Saginaw Valley State University and co-founder of the Tri-City Skeptics, a group of citizens who seek rational explanations for the possibly paranormal.

"I would prefer a more commonplace explanation," said Peterson, who has not inspected the circles. "It wouldn't surprise me, with the popularity of the movie 'Signs' and people in the area, that someone has done that."

"Signs" is a movie that involves crop circles and the suggestion they are placed by aliens.

Peterson said members of his group have planned in the past to create crop circles. It appears somebody beat them to it, he said.

"We've got some very creative hoaxing going on," he said.

Lynne C. Gilbert, 50, is not so sure. Her home is in a stand of evergreen trees a few hundred feet from the crop circles.

"The past few nights, I have heard the dogs barking late," she said. "Maybe we have an extraterrestrial here. Wouldn't that be cool? You could almost spit at my house from here, and I didn't hear a thing."

Turner's wife, 59-year-old Lynne, said she is a believer in extraterrestrials. She says the circles could have formed from the landing pad of a spaceship.

"Maybe the big one is where the ship landed, and maybe the little one is where the stairs came down," she said. "I have no idea."
