The Continuing Unfolding of the Crop Circles


Beyond sightings of alien spacecraft, there are the wondrously intriguing crop circles and pictograms. Most of these are not hoaxes, notwithstanding that some simple circles are the work of humans as can be discerned with minimal investigation (e.g., footprints). One of my favorite formations is the 151 circle glyph formed near Stonehenge, England on July 7, 1996, which appeared within 45 minutes during broad daylight according to a former RAF pilot. Crop circles have been documented since the 16th century. Other illustrations of authentic ET pictograms include (but are not, of course, limited to): Hubbard, Oregon, 1964, Avebury England, 1994, Beckhampton, England, 1998, the “Crown” of Devizes, England, 1999, West Overton, England, 1999, Etchilhampton, England, 1999, East Kennett England, 2000, Broadbury Banks, England, 2000, the “Koch Fractal” of Milk Hill, England, 1997, Milk Hill, England, 1999, Milk Hill, England, 2000, Allington Down, England, 1999, Brummen, Holland, 1997, West Kennet, England, 1999, Uffington, England, 2000, Windmill Hill, England, 1999, Barbury Castle, England, 1999, Swindon, England, 1999, Liddington Castle, England, 1999, Avebury Trusloe, England, 2000, the “Mandala” of Woodborough Hill, England, 2000, East Kennet, England, 1999 & 2000, Alton Barnes, England, 1998, Beckhampton, England, 2000, Picked Hill, England, 2000, Stadskanaal, Holland, 2000, Chehalis, U.S., 1994, Bishop’s Cannings, England, 2000, Haspen Hill, England, 1999, Silbury Hill, England, 2000, Adam’s Grave, England, 2000, South Field, England, 2000, Eastfield, England, in June 2004.

All of the crop circle design patterns follow strict geometrical rules of construction. The formations usually ‘arrive’ at night in fields of wheat, barley, canola (rapeseed), oats, alfalfa or sunflowers. Crop circles are not confined to England, though the Circle Makers seem to be enamored of England. They have also been spotted in the United States including at the University of Virginia in 1998, Canada, Australia, Japan, India, Germany, France, Israel, Switzerland, Netherlands, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Sweden, New Zealand, Australia, Italy, Belgium, Finland, Russia, Spain and Austria and in other parts of the world.
The ET crop circles are carefully planned and designed by extraterrestrial Circle Makers on their computers before the ET artist’s design is implemented on the ground by other ET crew. They are created and formed in the crops as a benign sign of their presence, the structure and precision of their art serving as a testimony to the extraordinary level of their science, creativity and good intentions. None of the corn, wheat or other crops though folded into spiral and other formations, is destroyed. The circle or other form is formed through a gentle bending and lengthening at the node (elbow) on the stork of plants within the crop circle without harming the plant. In contrast, if people stand on corn or other plants, they invariably cause the stems to snap.
The stalks inside a crop circle are typically bent into what is known as a swirl pattern, and the circles may spin clockwise or counterclockwise or radiating straight out from the center. In patterns with several circles, one circle may spin clockwise and another counterclockwise. Even a single circle may contain two or more "layers" of stalks, each spinning in a different direction. In each case the plants, though bent by 90 degrees at the node of the stem, continued to grow and ripen, while crop outside the circle remains completely unaffected and form an upright standing wall. The Circle Makers have the ability to “comb” the stalks with as much ease as combing one’s hair, for those who still do that ... READ MORE ...
