In July of 1996 one of the most complex and spectacular crop circle designs ever seen appeared in a field opposite Stonehenge. The design became known as “The Julia Set” because it resembled the mathematical fractal called by that name. The formation was remarkable not only because of its complexity and beauty but also due to several anomalies associated with its discovery....
The formation was first spotted from an aircraft at 6:15 PM. The pilot crossed over the field with a passenger (a medical doctor taking pictures) at 5:30 PM and both reported that there was no formation in the field at that time. This is corroborated by the security guards at Stonehenge who claimed the formation was not in the field earlier in the day. The pilot landed his plane at the nearest airfield, the passenger disembarked, and the pilot refuelled for another flight. The pilot took off again and crossed the field at 6:15 when he saw the Julia Set formation in the field. At about the same time (6:30) his previous passenger drove past Stonehenge to see cars pulled off the side of the busy road. These cars will prove important to today’s new release.....
What has recently been revealed is that the people in those cars may well have seen the formation forming. According to researcher Lucy Pringle, a woman has come forward to say that a taxi driver and passenger were with the parked vehicles and the occupants could not believe what they witnessed. They stood for 20 minutes witnessing this large design form under a swirling cloud of mist. The full story can be read on Lucy Pringles website at (below).
According to Lucy’s report, she gave a talk in April, 2009 at Alton College in Hampshire. Shortly afterwards a friend telephoned her to say that “a friend of hers had been in a taxi and had mentioned to the taxi driver that she had just been to a fascinating talk on Crop Circles. M, the taxi driver, said: I saw one appear opposite Stonehenge.” Lucy soon realized the formation being discussed was the Julia Set of 1996.
Lucy writes, “She mentioned that when people see maybe two cars or more pulled in and looking down into the field, other cars stop and gradually the traffic builds up and more and more cars draw in to have a look.” What the group saw is described: “There was an apparition, an isolated mist over it (the formation) and as the circle was getting bigger the mist was rising above the circle. As the mist rose it got bigger and the corn circle got bigger. There was a mist was about 2-3 feet off the ground and it was sort of spinning around and on the ground a circular shape was appearing which seemed to get bigger and bigger as simultaneously the mist gets bigger and bigger and swirled faster. It was gradual and you are standing there and you are thinking what is going on and everyone is discussing it and more and more traffic is building up and everything and you just think that all the time you don't really realise what is happening and then you think then that's it and the thing is getting bigger and you are thinking of the beginning and end. But you don't realise what you are looking at. I didn’t understand what was happening......”
Lots of folks gag on the truth.
Few admit it so candidly.
And your criteria for believing these “witnesses” other than you just want to ?
Do you think they’d be willing to make a statement under oath ?
Others retch at the lies and BS propagated by lunatics.
Over the years, a number of such witnesses HAVE SIGNED witnessed notorized documents . . . essentially under oath.
Your assumptions ARE WRONG.
This case is impressive enough on it’s own.
As one of many 100’s of impressive cases, it’s more than a little extraordinary.
You clearly are uninformed.
And your biases are screaming much louder and more significantly than the amount of reading and research you seem to have done . . . the biases and assumptions are the size of Pike’s Peak and your researched knowledge appears to equal about a pea, in size.
Real impressive, that.
However,
Linda Moulton Howe’s site
has links to the several peer reviewed articles in scientific journals affirming that nonhoaxed crop formations are unique scientifically unique on at least 7 or so variables.
Linda has done a lot of research and has a lot of witness testimony on her site—much of it behind a subscriber’s only wall.
I’ve talked with her at some length and her objectivity and research thoroughness were impressive, to me.
Clueless naysayers are the opposite of impressive, to me.
I’m surprised that most naysayers can find the light switch, the toilet or tell which way is up, . . .
much more so what’s a lie and what’s the truth.
It must be similarly challenging for them to be able to tell the difference between bull food and bull poo.
To a person, they all seem to be utterly blindly and ignorantly and compulsively addicted to
a virtual certainty of a TYPE II ERROR.
ATS has a motto . . .
DENY IGNORANCE
as in prevent it.
Seems like naysayers hereon have a motto
WALLOW IN IGNORANCE
or
EXALT IN IGNORANCE
or
BECOME IGNORANCE
Veryyyyyyyy impressive.
The explanation is simple: ninjas.
You’re a persistent treasure, Dear Heart.
Thx.
BTW, what is with this last several days, this week . . .
it’s like the naysayers have been
ON SPEED or something . . . or caught distemper or really are afflicted with foaming-at-the-mouth rabies!
Sheesh.
Maybe they’ve been breeding inside such tiny little boxes it’s getting crowded in there and they are living chronically out of sorts.
bttt
You are completely nuts.
You need mental health counseling, possibly even incarceration.
My reality testing appears to be markedly better than yours if your posting on this thread is any clue.
BTW, my PhD is in clinical psychology.
And your outrageous rule braking personal assault has been noted.
And let me add something Quix....
I’ve had a run-in or two with you before...
I’ve seen your many obnoxious rude lunatic assaults on others who disagree with you...
You’re a sicko. You need psychiatric help.
Thanks for displaying your biases and ignorance so vividly.
>>> BTW, my PhD is in clinical psychology. <<<<
That is not a plus for you.
Many lunatics end up with psych degrees.
>>>> And your outrageous rule braking personal assault has been noted. <<<<
Stop trying to intimidate other posters, you obnoxious wretch.
One word for you:
FAIL.
I’ve noticed over the years . . .
assaultive bullies tend to have a terminal problem
tolerating much at all
receiving even 1% of what they dish out so liberally and compulsively.
Fascinating phenomena.
They reeally can’t handle someone standing up to them vigorously without spewing more and more and more.
Maybe it’s genetic.
Naw . . . ATTACHMENT DISORDER, MOST LIKELY.
Quix, you’re nuts.
Whatever else you are . . .
you’re redundant.
You might research perseveration.
