I would like to see these little orbs come by my place once every two weeks and mow my lawn. Looks like they could certainly do the trick in quick order.

Have you ever seen the Marfa Lights in west Texas? The lights in this video look very similar to the Marfa Lights only the night we saw them there were more lights in west Texas. The Marfa Lights are not over farmed land but I wonder if any changes can be found in the brush that they swirl over. Are crop circles ever found in our grain fields?

Barbury Castle Pi Formation:  “Perfectly Clean”
in Muddy, Rain-Soaked Field

© 2008 by Linda Moulton Howe

“When Newsnight said to me the BBC had no intention of doing
any in-depth study or program on crop circles, I thought that really says it all.
They are not prepared to look at the crop phenomenon seriously.”

- Lucy Pringle, Crop Circle Photographer and Author

  [JOEPROBONO--COULD YOU PLEASE do the honors, somehow?
I don't think she allows hot linking images.]


2008 Barbury Castle Pattern is Pi to 3.14159265358

 

June 12, 2008  Wroughton, Wiltshire, England - Lucy Pringle has been photographing crop formations from the air and on the ground since 1993. Her books include Crop Circles: Art in the Landscape © 2007, Crop Circles (Pitkin Guides) © 2004, and Crop Circles: The Greatest Mystery of Modern Times © 1999. Her Lucy Pringle website (see Websites below) contains her latest and archived photographs, crop circle calendars and other crop formation-related productions.

When she is impressed by crop patterns while photographing from an airplane, Lucy tries to get into the formations on the ground. That's what she did after photographing the 300-foot-diameter Barbury Castle. Lucy and a friend did not get into the formation until June 7, one week after it was first reported on June 1, 2008. She and I talked about the condition of the crop on Sunday, June 8. She said the interior showed no damage from mechanical devices or trampling, but she was puzzled by broken stalks at the edge of the outer perimeter.

After this June 8 Earthfiles interview, I received an email the next day from Lucy:  “I spoke to Charles Mallett (owner Silent Circle Crop Circle Research Center). He confirms that the very obvious damage that we saw in the Barbury Castle formation at both the inner and outer edges of the large exterior ring were NOT there when he visited it (on June 1). Clearly someone was out to muddy the water, it seems?”

Further, I interviewed Charles Mallett, who entered the Barbury Castle field around 10:30 AM on June 1, the morning it was first reported. There had been rain the day before and the ground was muddy. Charles said he had to walk about 200 meters to reach the pattern and had mud all over his boots. But when he reached the young barley formation, it was “perfectly clean - no one had been tromping on that fragile, young barley.”

When these “lights” or what ever start making forest circles then I might be inclined to believe.

A big difference between knocking down wheat or even corn and knocking down and flatening trees a foot or more in diameter.

Diatonic Ratios and Seed Changes in 2003
California Wheat Circles Rule Out Hoax?

 
© 2003 by Linda Moulton Howe

. . .

The Chronicle also reported that, "After analyzing the different-sized circles in the pattern, Aubrun found that the ratio in the size between each was the same as the difference in frequency between each note on a musical scale (known as diatonic ratios). ... Not only that, but investigators say there was not enough moonlight that night of June 27th to make such an intricate design. For months, (a local investigator named Steve) Moreno has invited the boys to recreate the pattern on a similarly moonlit night. The teenagers have balked."

Further, biophysicist W. C. Levengood in Michigan recently concluded his own investigation of wheat and soil sent to him from the largest circle and a couple of the smallest circles. He agrees that no teenagers hoaxed what he found in the plants he analyzed. Levengood studied biophysics at the University of Michigan in the late 1960s and holds several patents on his inventions to increase seed growth and vigor. He has studied biochemical and biophysical changes in crop formation seeds and plants for over a decade. He thinks what is creating the truly mysterious crop patterns is a complex energy system that he describes as a "spinning plasma vortex" of ions with microwave frequencies that rapidly heat water in plants, causing them to collapse to the ground with stems not cracked or broken. Further, the microwave frequencies can heat up water in the plant's growth nodes which burst out, creating small holes that have often been found in extraordinary crop patterns. Those complex energies can also affect the seeds.

For his investigation of the Solano County, California crop formation plants, he did what's called a "Vigor Factor Test" of the seed growth in the formation plants and compared them to a vigor test on normal plants collected from outside the formation. He has found accelerated growth in crop formation seeds before, but nothing like the amount in the Solano County, California wheat seeds.

. . .

nterview:

W. C. Levengood, Biophysicist, Pinelandia Biophysical Laboratory, Grass Lake, Michigan (photomicrographs of this research will be added to this report as soon as available as an update):
"On three of them, I got a vigor factor which was over 50% increase ­ one of them was 59% over the control. This was practically unheard of. I can't remember ­ if you get in the case of wheat, it grows very uniformly. If you get a vigor factor that is over 15%, generally it turns out that is statistically significant. So, here we have three that had vigor factors over 50%.

YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING AT PLANTS FROM CROP FORMATIONS GATHERED AROUND THE WORLD FOR 13 YEARS ­ WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS IN YOUR MIND FOR THE SEEDS FROM THE SOLANO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA FORMATION THAT TEENAGERS TRIED TO CLAIM THEY HAD MADE?

Oh, that's ridiculous! There's no way they could produce this. In fact, there's no way anyone could produce these changes. Kids wouldn't be able to do this under any circumstance. So that, and the fact that the vigor factor was so high in the formation plants tells me another thing. You see, in these things that influence the plants from the crop formation, there are ­ I think in the last paper we published in the journal, Physiologia Plantarum ­ I listed 7 factors that can influence these ion plasmas that strike the crop and make these formations. There were 2 primary factors. One was the ion plasma factor; the second that has great influence on the seeds is microwave energy. But the microwave energy does just the opposite of the growth enhancement from the ion electron avalanche component of these energies. So, this is very complex. These are interactive energies and there is no way whatsoever that this growth increase could be hoaxed.

. . .

Soil Analysis

W. C. Levengood: "In addition to the plant material that was submitted, soil from the Solano County formation was all tested and there were no magnetic particles in the soil.

In the formations I've looked at ­ and that's well over 100 to 150 formations for me so far ­ about 70% to 75% of the crop formation soils have the magnetic material. Approximately 25% do not.

The magnetite level can be high outside the pattern, or inside the pattern, or not high at all. I think what happens as these plasma vortices form in the ionosphere, if we happen to be in a period of high meteorite activity, there will be a very close association between the vortex energy and the cloud of micrometeorites and their iron dust.

Track down the scientific journal articles . . .

see how much smugness might be tempting, then.

Actually, there’s some of the scientific analysis reported above.

2004 Overview of Crop Formations in Six Countries

© 2004 by Linda Moulton Howe
 
 
May 22, 2004 - As of this date, crop formations in 2004 have ranged from yellow flowering oil seed rape in England, Germany and Holland to wheat in Poland, tall pasture grass in Australia and randomly downed wheat in Mexico. German researcher, Andreas Mueller, thinks at least three of the four German formations are man-made. He is intrigued by the television video frames below of a Mexican field which do not show neat geometry. Instead, there are patches of downed plants along straight lines, vaguely reminiscent of the "binary code" in the Chilbolton Observatory, Hampshire, England, formation first reported on August 20, 2001. Also of interest is the Vesica Pisces comparison between the May 3, 2004, formation near Pegsdon, Hertsfordshire, England, and the Peebles, Ohio, pattern discovered near the ancient Serpent Mound on August 24, 2003. Under More Information below, is a statistical study by Jeffrey Wilson of 361 crop formation reports in the United States from 1880 to 2003 that reached his database.
 
For the truly mysterious patterns each year, there is the continuing challenge to understand how the global magnetic grid underlies all of them and might predetermine specific latitude and longitude positions of each pattern. Robbert van den Broeke in Hoeven, Holland, who has watched plants go down in the presence of mysterious lights, thinks the "light balls" make crop formations around the world to affect . . . "

. . .

) Reported April 28, 2004 at Rheinland-Pfalz, Kreis Soedwestpfalz in yellow flowering oil seed rape. Andreas Müller, who investigated at the scene, said the formation is man-made because of "an irregular geometry accompanied by an enormous damage to the plants."

. . .

Reported May 9, 2004, on Tegdown Hill, Patcham near Brighton, East Sussex. Photo on right shows one of the "magically bent"
plants flat to the ground, but without crease, crack or break - one of the several documented anomalies
in the crop circle phenomenon.Aerial photograph © 2004 by David Russell.

. . .

Robert Boerman: "We visited the new circles in Hoeven on Friday, May 14. We saw that the grass had been mowed so we couldn't see the circles anymore. Then we went over the circles with some dowsing rods and we found the circles after lifting the grass up that was covering them. At first we thought it was three circles, but we found a fourth also. You can feel the energy from the circles in your legs, as if the energy is pulling your legs to the earth. It was a very high energy.

"The guy who was with me was using a Bovis biometer and said the energy at the Hoeven circles was more than 10,000 Bovis, which is very high for a crop formation." (Editor's note: The intensity of the rays or vibrations, of a place, plant or object can be measured using a dowsing pendulum. The Bovis scale utilizes the knowledge of electromagnetic wavelengths and specifically the wavelength of red light which is in the region of 6,500 Ångström. An average value for a healthy abode and for a healthy person is 6,500 Bovis units. Values below 6,500 Bovis units indicate a qualitative energetic deficiency. Values above 6,500 Bovis units indicate a higher quality.)

. . .

Above graph: number of reported crop formations per state between 1880 and 2003. A total of 361 reports in Jeffrey Wilson's
data base. Ohio at 24 has had the most, followed by Iowa, California, Oregon, Missouri, Indiana, Wisconsin, Kansas, Michigan, New York
and Washington State. Below graph: frequency of reported crop formations per year since 1880. Graphs © 2004 by Jeffrey Wilson.

We were in west Texas a few years ago and went out of our way to check out the Marfa Lights. We didn't expect to see anything but when we went down the correct highway we found that the Texas Highway Dept had built a parking lot on the side of the road to view the lights in safety. There was already a crowd gathered and the lights were out in full force, swirling around and breaking up into 2, 3 and 4 different lights. It was pretty neat!

Bird Eggs Undamaged in Slovenia Crop Formation

© 2007 by Linda Moulton Howe

...

"Hello Ms. Howe,

I'm a reader of the Earthfiles and I have my own 'alternative' blog. Recently, a person has come forward with some intriguing photos of a crop circle that has appeared on 2nd of June 07 on the outskirts of Ptuj, Slovenia. I believe I have not yet seen a photo of a circle with a bird nest full of eggs, unharmed, of course.

I think it is a special photo so I felt like I needed to show it to somebody with extensive knowledge and the first person I could think of is you.
You can take a look at the picture in my picasa album, here: http://picasaweb.google.com/reptile256/ItniKrogPriPtuju

The circle itself is 100 meters in diameter and the line connecting the two circles is oriented east-west. In one circle, the wheat is laid down clockwise and in the other it's the opposite, as my readers have reported. The aerial photo can be found here: http://24ur.com/naslovnica/ekskluziv/zanimivosti/20070603_3099071.php

Best regards,
Omer, from Slovenia"

I have a cousin with a large farm near my home. One Sunday morning I noticed large swaths of his oat field pressed down in what appeared to be random swaths. A pilot friend flew over the fields and insists there was a pattern in the sections of 'laid down' grain stalks. (I don't know what became of the pix he took, but I never got to see them!)

My cousin just looked upon the exercise as a waste of cultivated grain. There was a thunderstorm the night before, and my cousin insists the 'patterns' are caused by devil's tales which are generated in the thuderstorm winds.

At other locations, patterns appear that cannot be connected to thunderstorm activity, however. And some patterns of extreme intricacy appear over night in large fileds next to or visible from major highways, patterns so intricate that they could not be produced in a short time by determined hoaxers with boards and ropes. I happen to believe there are a significant number of 'circles' which represent graphic images of fractals offered as some sort of communication with Earth, but that's just me.

If I spent the money to plant and cultivate a grain crop, unless a real connection to extra-terrestrial/extra-temporal civilization were made, I would be pissed that my work was being destroyed for 'drawings'. My farming cousin sure doesn't welcome the destructions.

Don’t Bogart that joint my friend,,,,,,,,,,,,

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just had to look up "bogart":

1969, "to keep a joint in your mouth," dangling from the lip like Humphrey Bogart's cigarette in the old movies, instead of passing it on. First attested in "Easy Rider." The word was also used 1960s with notions of "get something by intimidation, be a tough guy."
