20 ICBMs Shut Down by UFOs At
Malmstrom AFB in March 1967

© 2010 by Linda Moulton Howe

 

All ten missiles in ECHO Flight at Malmstrom lost strat alert
within ten seconds of each other. ... The fact that no apparent reason
for the loss of ten missiles can be readily identified is cause for
grave concern to this headquarters.”            

- Strategic Air Command to Hill AFB, March 17, 1967

ILLUSTRATION OF SUCH

Illustration in 2006 by investigator and author
Robert Hastings of unidentified flying disc near USAF missile site.


October 25, 2010  Ojai, California - Malmstrom AFB in Great Falls, Montana, is north of Helena and about 100 miles south of the Canadian border. Malmstrom is one of three U.S. Air Force Bases that maintains and operates modern Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missiles. From 1960 until 1997, the Minuteman I and Minuteman II were in service, and in 1963, the Minuteman missile was officially designated LGM-30 in the Department of Defense's revised aircraft and missile designation system. The L stands for the launch environment and indicates the missile is fired from an underground silo. G indicates the missile is designed to be directed against ground targets. The M means it is a guided missile, not an unguided rocket. 30 is the sequence number of the Minuteman design in the USAF missile inventory. All the original Minuteman I and II missiles have been retired.

Today, the LGM-30 Minuteman III is a U.S. nuclear missile, a land-based intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). The L indicates it is silo-launched; the G means it is designed to attack ground targets; and the M indicates it is a guided missile. The name “Minuteman” comes from the Revolutionary War’s Minutemen. Further, the missile can be launched in about one minute. The Air Force planned to keep the Minuteman missiles in service until 2020, but it might be upgraded to stay in service until 2030.

The current Minuteman force has 450 Minuteman III missiles manufactured by Boeing in missile silos around F.E. Warren AFB, Cheyenne, Wyoming; Malmstrom AFB, Great Falls, Montana; and Minot AFB, North Dakota.

UFOs Shut Down 20 ICBMs
at Malmstrom AFB in March 1967

Forty-three years ago on March 16, 1967, at Malmstrom AFB,  the ECHO Flight crew was 60 feet underground in the Flight Launch Control Center (LCC) located 90 miles east of Great Falls. To everyone’s astonishment, large, reddish-orange, glowing aerial discs were seen by the Security Alert Teams. Simultaneously, ten Minutemen intercontinental ballistic missiles started going off line, one at a time, every second. That meant TEN of America’s most secure military weapons 60 feet underground had been controlled and shut down by a force from above ground.

Then incredibly, the same thing happened eight days later on March 24, 1967, to OSCAR Flight. Ten more ICBMs were shut down one at a time every second. One of the USAF personnel in a missile bunker 60 feet underground was 1st Lt. Robert L. Salas, who had graduated from the U. S. Air Force Academy in 1964. While in the USAF, Bob Salas received his Masters Degree in Aerospace Engineering in 1969. In April 1971, he received an honorable discharge as a USAF Captain and went on to work for Martin-Marietta and Rockwell International as an aerospace engineer working on space shuttle proposals. Then in 1974, Bob Salas was hired by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in aircraft certification and aircraft structures and worked as a structural engineer for aircraft until 1995. Since retirement from the FAA, Bob has taught high school mathematics in Ojai, California, and tutored students in math. 

On September 27th, 2010, at the National Press Club in Washington, D. C., Bob Salas joined six other witnesses to the ECHO and OSCAR Flight shut downs in a presentation he had organized with UFO investigator, Robert Hastings. They want the press and public know that it’s not true when U. S. government authorities say there never was a UFO threat to national security.

INTERVIEW:

. . .

NO ONE FROM THE GOVERNMENT HAS EVER APPROACHED YOU OFF THE RECORD TO SAY, ‘KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT’?

I think they tried to keep my mouth shut. In 1969, I was transferred to Wright-Patterson AFB to finish up my Master’s Degree (Aerospace Engineering) and not long after I arrived, I was ordered to go to the base psychiatrist’s office. I didn’t know why, but I went ahead to the hospital. The base psychiatrist orderly came out and wanted me to talk to the psychiatrist.

I asked him for what reason was I called in there. I hadn’t complained about anything.

He said, ‘The base psychiatrist will let you know that.’

And I said, ‘No, I’m not going to go back and talk to him about anything.’ Because I knew it would go on my record.

Later, the orderly comes out and he released me. I suspect they wanted to hear my UFO story so they could put it on the record. That’s the closest I got to where they put pressure on me to keep my mouth shut.

IF YOU HAD TALKED TO THE PSYCHIATRIST, THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO HOLD THAT OVER YOU AS A QUESTION OF YOUR CREDIBILITY FOR THE REST OF YOUR CAREER AND LIFE.

That’s correct. So, I was happy I made that decision not to go into the psychiatrist’s office.

 

USAF Lt. Salas Ordered to Sign
Non-Disclosure Statement

GIVEN THE FACT THAT YOU WERE AN EYEWITNESS ON THE MARCH 24, 1967 OSCAR FLIGHT INTERRUPTION OF PERHAPS TEN ICBMS THAT DATE AND THAT 9 DAYS BEFORE ON MARCH 16, 1967, AT ECHO FLIGHT, TEN ICBMS WENT DOWN IN SEQUENCE WITH IN SECONDS. DID ANYBODY IN THE USAF OR ANY OTHER AGENCY EVER COME TO YOU AND SAY, ‘THIS IS WHY WE HAVE TO KEEP THIS UNDER WRAPS’?

No. No one ever talked to me after the next morning when I was debriefed in my Squadron Commander’s office. We were told to sign a non-disclosure statement, which I did, by the way. We were told never to talk about the incident again. And nobody ever talked with us about it again and I never spoke about it until 1994 (27 years later).

BUT DID YOU ASK BACK IN 1967, ‘WHY ARE WE BEING ASKED TO SIGN NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENTS ABOUT SOMETHING AS SIGNIFICANT AS THIS?’

I certainly did. My commander – the first question I asked him when I walked into his office – I said, ‘Was this some kind of an Air Force exercise?’

And he said, ‘Absolutely not!’

And then the guy from AFOSI (Air Force Office of Special Investigations) said, ‘Sign here, and we will never speak of this again.’ I even wanted to know why I should sign it because I had Above Top Secret clearance already. But he said, ‘No, this specific incident, you have to sign this.’

THE AFOSI AGENT STANDING NEXT TO HIM, HE WAS NOT GOING TO ALLOW YOU TO HAVE ANY DIALOGUE ABOUT THIS? IT WAS, ‘SIGN THIS NON-DISCLOSURE IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A CAREER?’

Exactly. In fact, a day or two – maybe a week – later, one or two of the guards called me at home and wanted to sit down and talk to me. They were very upset with this whole thing. They couldn’t understand it. And I had to turn them down. I said, ‘I can’t talk about it because I’ve signed this non-disclosure thing. I can’t talk about it again.’

 

“Absolutely Not” Terrestrial Aircraft

DID YOU ALL KNOW AT THE TIME THAT YOU WERE DEALING WITH SOMETHING FROM OUTER SPACE THAT WAS NOT HUMAN?

Absolutely we knew it! These were not aircraft. We even discussed this in that first phone conversation I had with the guards. They assured me these were not airplanes! So they knew they were something from elsewhere.

IN FACT IN MARCH 1967, ONE OF THE ECHO FLIGHT SECURITY POLICEMEN – AND I’M QUOTING FROM YOUR 1999 SUMMARY OF ALL THIS BY ROBERT SALAS AND JIM KLOTZ . YOU REPORTED THAT ONE OF THE SECURITY POLICEMEN WAS SO AFFECTED BY HIS ENCOUNTER WITH ONE OF THE BIG, RED, GLOWING OBJECTS IN THE SKY THAT ‘HE NEVER RETURNED TO MISSILE SECURITY DUTY.’

That’s true. In fact, that happened not only at ECHO Flight, but at OSCAR Flight. I know at least one case where one of the security guards lost control of himself and wandered off. They had to bring people out to pick him up and take him to the base hospital. He was just out of it!

HOW WERE THE SAT (Security Alert) TEAM DESCRIBING WHAT THEY WERE SEEING?

It was a reddish-orange, pulsating object. It was about 30 feet in diameter and it was just sitting there (in the air). It had all the guards out there with their weapons out and they were frightened. Very frightened!

YOU WERE GETTING THESE DESCRIPTIONS DOWN UNDERGROUND ABOUT HOW DEEP?

Yeah, I was sixty feet underground. We were locked in. We were obligated to stay there until we were relieved by another crew - obviously because we were in control of ten nuclear weapons.

 

Boeing Concluded Electromagnetic Pulses
from Outside Silos Shut Down Missiles

THE BOEING INVESTIGATORS CONCLUDED – AND THIS IS READING FROM YOUR 1999 SUMMARY – ‘TO REPRODUCE THE EFFECTS ON THE ICBMS THAT WENT DOWN, A 10-VOLT PULSE WOULD HAVE TO BE INTRODUCED INTO THE DATA LINE,’ HOW DID THEY REACH THAT CONCLUSION?

One of the Boeing engineers, Mr. (Robert) Rigert, did a bench test on the guidance and control package. We got information when the missiles went down that we had guidance and control system failure and logic coupler failure. The logic coupler is part of the computer system that helps orient the missile in flight on target. So, I think he (Rigert) did a bench test – in other words, he had the equipment on a bench and input a certain signal or wavelength – and was able to shut the system down.

SAC Telex to Hill AFB, March 17, 1967

“All ten missiles in ECHO Flight at Malmstrom lost strat alert
within ten seconds of each other. ... The fact that no apparent reason
for the loss of ten missiles can be readily identified is cause for
grave concern to this headquarters.”

SAC TS TELEX RE INCIDENT

SECRET telex from SAC (Strategic Air Command) to RUWMMBA/00AMA
Hill AFB, Utah, and others including Malmstrom AFB, Montana; Boeing Co.,
Seattle, Washington; and Norton AFB, California, dated March 17, 1967, about
ECHO Flight shut down of ten ICBMs the day before on March 16, 1967. Then 10 more
were shut down at OSCAR Flight by unidentified external EMP on March 24, 1967.

 

BOB, YOUR OWN 1999 SUMMARY SAYS, ‘THE TECHNOLOGY OF 1967 MADE GENERATING AN ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSE OF SUFFICIENT MAGNITUDE TO ENTER THE SHIELDED SYSTEM A VERY DIFFICULT PROPOSITION REQUIRING LARGE, HEAVY, BULKY EQUIPMENT. THE SOURCE OF THE PULSE THAT CAUSED THE MISSILE SHUT DOWNS REMAINS A MYSTERY TO THIS DAY.’

Right. And that’s why Boeing concluded that they could find no reasonable cause for this. They could not explain it. They could not understand it.

 

Missile Shut Downs Were Threat to National Security

AGAIN, QUOTING FROM YOU:  ‘THE USAF HAS CONFIRMED THAT ALL OF THE ECHO FLIGHT’S MISSILES SHUT DOWN WITHIN SECONDS OF EACH OTHER AND THAT NO CAUSE FOR THIS COULD BE FOUND.’ HOW COULD THEY MAINTAIN THAT NO REPORTED UFO INCIDENT HAS EVER AFFECTED NATIONAL SECURITY?

Exactly! Exactly my point! That’s why we have a standoff here with the Air Force. It’s a contradiction. They cannot, on the one hand, say that they can’t explain how these missiles went down within seconds of each other, and on the other hand say that national security was not involved. I mean, they are talking out of both sides of their mouths!

AS WE SPEAK ON OCTOBER 12, 2010, WHAT IN YOUR MIND COULD EXPLAIN IN THE 21ST CENTURY NOW A POLICY OF DENIAL IN THE INTEREST OF NATIONAL SECURITY BEING MAINTAINED AND PERSISTING AFTER 60 YEARS?

The only way I can explain it is that there is a very influential small group of individuals within the government – and maybe also outside of government – that are controlling this information, keeping it from (U. S.) presidents and are just not inclined to release it for their own reasons. It’s high time it stopped. It’s got to stop! The public needs to be involved in this conversation.

Other UFOs and Missile Events:
- August 1, 1965, Warren AFB, Cheyenne, Wyoming
- August 24-25, 1966, Minot AFB, North Dakota
- March 5, 1967, Minot AFB, North Dakota
- June 6, 1968, Minot AFB, North Dakota
- October 24, 1968, Minot AFB, North Dakota

The interaction of glowing, unidentified, round craft in the skies with American ICBMs did not start or end in March 1967. The following are some other events.

August 1, 1965, Warren AFB, Cheyenne, Wyoming

About eight months earlier on August 1, 1965, beginning at 1:30 AM at F.E. Warren AFB in Cheyenne, Wyoming, various personnel at Warren AFB - including the base commander—telephoned Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, to report several UFO sightings at Warren’s Minuteman missile sites.

Investigator Robert Hastings summarized some of the Warren AFB August 1, 1965 events in his 2008 book, UFOs and Nukes, this way:

“4:40 A.M. - Captain Howell, Air Force Command Post, called Dayton and Defense Intelligence Agency to report that a Strategic Air Command Team at Site H-2 at 3:00 A.M. reported a white oval UFO directly overhead. Later Strategic Air Command Post passed the following: Francis E. Warren Air Force Base reports (Site B-4 3:17 A.M.) –A UFO 90 miles east of Cheyenne at a high rate of speed and descending—oval and white with white lines on its sides and a flashing red light in its center moving east; reported to have landed 10 miles east of the site.

3:20 A.M. - Seven UFOs reported east of the site.

3:25 A.M. - E Site reported six UFOs stacked vertically.

3:27 A.M. - G-1 reported one ascending and at the same time, E-2 reported two additional UFOs had joined the seven for a total of nine.

3:28 A.M. - G-1 reported a UFO descending further, going east.

3:32 A.M. - The same site has a UFO climbing and leveling off.

3:40 A.M. - G Site reported one UFO at 70' azimuth and one at 120' . Three now came from the east, stacked vertically, passed through the other two, with all five heading west.”

 

August 24-25, 1966, Minot AFB, North Dakota

NICAP report:  "Minuteman Site Jammed By UFO, North Dakota, August 24*, 1966 -  A United States missile program supervisor claims that mysterious unidentified flying objects have seriously imperiled national security. The Air Force denies it. Raymond E. Fowler, project supervisor on a Minuteman missile program near Boston, asserts that [UFOs] have penetrated the restricted air space above America's missile sites, jamming vital electronic equipment. He also says the objects eluded fighter aircraft scrambled to intercept them.

Specifically, Mr. Fowler says he talked with an Air Force officer who had been in one of the subterranean Launch Control Facilities [LCFs] of a North Dakota Minuteman site on August 25, 1966, when radar operators picked up a UFO maneuvering over the base at 100,000 feet. The officer declared that the LCF's sophisticated radio equipment, that enables it to receive firing instructions from coordinating centers and transmit them to the silo Launch Facilities [LFs] was blocked out by static when the UFO hovered directly over it. Mr. Fowler recalls the officer saying that he could conceive of "nothing on earth" that could caused the equipment to malfunction from such an altitude, emphasizing that it was working perfectly before the object appeared overhead and after it left."

MAJOR SHAW BASE DIR DOC

Department of the Air Force, Headquarters 862nd Combat Support Group (SAC),
Minot AFB, North Dakota, UFO Report to AFSC (FTD), Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio,
dated August 30, 1966, concerning UFO events over nuclear missile sites on August 25, 1966,
signed by Chester A. Shaw, Jr., Major, USAF, Base Director of Operations.

Mr. Fowler reported he was told that communications between F-106 aircraft sent to investigate and armed jeep patrols on the ground dispatched to a spot where the first UFO appeared to land were jammed by strong radio interference. Missile site control also experienced intense static disruptions in efforts to communicate with its strike-teams.

After UFOs left, Ray Fowler reported that Air Force Intelligence teams showed up at Minot AFB and told eyewitnesses to keep quiet. Ray Fowler says that a Joint Chiefs of Staff regulation last updated in 1966 established a system for reporting UFO sightings to the Aerospace Defense Command in Colorado Springs and imposes stiff penalties for unauthorized disclosures of UFO information.

 

March 5, 1967, Minot AFB, North Dakota

Air Defense Command radar tracked an unidentified target descending over the Minuteman missile silos of the 91st Strategic Missile Wing at Minot AFB, ND. Base security teams quickly converged on the area and saw a metallic, disc-shaped craft ringed with bright, flashing lights moving slowly. The disc stopped and hovered about 500 feet (150 meters) off the ground, as security police held their fire and watched in awe. Suddenly the object began moving again and circled directly over the launch control facility.

F-106 fighter-interceptors were standing by on the flight line, waiting for an order from NORAD to scramble. When the order was not forthcoming, Minot AFB base operations decided on their own to scramble the interceptors. At that moment, the UFO climbed straight up and streaked away at incredible speed.

. . .
. . .
. . .

At 0330 hours, the controllers received information that there was a UFO twenty-four miles to the northwest. A B-52 jet bomber (JAG 31) flying at 2000 feet was on a calibration check and requested a clearance from radar personnel.

At 0334  “MIB (Minot) approach control does JAG 31 have clearance to WT fix at Flight Level 2000?

“JAG 31, Roger climb out on a heading of 290 climb and maintain 5000. Stand by for higher altitude. We're trying to get it from center now.

At 0335, the controller asked, “And JAG 31 on your way out to the WT fix request you look out toward your one o'clock position for the next fifteen miles and see if you see any orange glows out there?”

“Roger, roger glows 31, someone is seeing UFOs again!”

“Roger I see a........”  (Rest of transmission garbled)

At 0352, the controller then radioed, “Three one, the UFO is being picked up by weather's radar also. Should be at our one o'clock position three miles now”

The pilot said, “We have nothing on our airborne radar and I'm in some pretty thick haze now and unable to see out that way.”

At 0358, the pilot then requested an instrument guided approach, and received instructions. The pilot called, and then the transmitter went dead, but they could hear instructions from the ground. The controller asked them to squawk “ident,” which meant to use the aircraft's transponder that would paint the controller's radar with a large, glowing blip with the aircraft's identification.

At 0400, the controller then radioed, “JAG 31 if you hear me squawk ident...JAG 31 ident observed. Cleared for the approach attempt. Contact on frequency 271 decimal three and you're cleared for the low approach.”  They continued to have radio problems for another couple of minutes.

At 0402, they were able to communicate easily. The pilot said, “Our UFO was off to our left side when we started penetration.”

“Roger, understand you did see something on your left side. We had a radar return at about a mile and a quarter, at nine o'clock position for about the time we left 200 to 14...”

They discussed the troubles with the transmission and then, the controller said, “Affirmative. I was wondering how far out did you see that UFO?”

“He was about one and a half miles off our left wing at 35 miles when we started in and stayed with us 'til about 10.”

“I wonder if that could have been your radio troubles?”

“I don't know.... But that's exactly when they started.”

“At 0413, Jag 31 are you observing any more UFOs?”

“Negative on radar. We can't see anything visually.”

“JAG 31, request you have someone report to base ops after you land.”

 

Frustrated over the decades since his traumatic experience underground when the OSCAR Flight ICBMs went down on March 24, 1967, and the United States Air Force continues to deny there have been any national security threats from UFOs at Malmstrom AFB or other bases, in 2005 Bob Salas and his co-author James Klotz released a book, Faded Giant:  The 1967 Missile/UFO Incidents. “Faded Giant” is a military acronym for an event involving a nuclear reactor or other radiological accident. Bob's website is:  http://www.spiralgalaxy.org/

Bob Salas also has a Facebook website, www.spiralgalaxies.org, where the seven affidavits of the seven eyewitnesses to UFOs shutting down ICBMs at Malmstrom AFB in 1967 can be seen, plus video testimonies.

Email from Earthfiles Viewer About
Davis Monthan AFB and Missiles, Tucson, Arizona


Subject: Hi Linda - Davis Monthan AFB Missiles, 1964-1967
Date: October 24, 2010
To: earthfiles@earthfiles.com

“My x-husband (now deceased) and I were transferred to Davis Monthan AFB in Tucson, Arizona,and we were there from approximately 1964 to 1967.
He worked as a pad chief on one of the underground missile sites.

There was a problem with many of the missiles because they would not hold
a destination. That means they all had a programmed target and it
was changed and could not be fixed. My husband said someone thought
it was espionage. The AF took 2 or 3 missiles over ground to Vandenberg AFB (Calif).

My husband traveled with the convoy. When they got to Vandenberg and tested the missiles, they would not fire. There was no way to shoot them off. There must be some record of the missiles traveling over ground (Tucson to Vandenberg). There would have to be road closings or such. There must be others that remember this. The 2 people I can remember are both dead. I heard nothing more of this and didn't ask as I was young and really didn't care to put 2 and 2 together."

Part 3:  What A Biophysicist Says About Crop Formations

© 2010 by Linda Moulton Howe

 

“I have never seen such rapid changes from plant sample
to plant sample in both of the ring circles. That means the plasma
energies were so compartmentalized that wheat growing only twelve
inches from another sample was very different.”

- W. C. Levengood, Biophysicist

October 11, 2010  Albuquerque, New Mexico  -  The following is my presentation at the Brazil Conference: “Science Discusses the Crop Circle Phenomenon,”  September 25 – 26, 2010, in  Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.

As a science and environment investigative reporter, I made my first trip to Wiltshire County, England, in July 1992, to explore the beautiful mystery of crop formations. The first pattern I stepped into convinced me I had encountered a powerful and profound force. A group of us heard about this a pattern of five circles below Milk Hill and had walked along the crest to look from above. The sky was blue, the wheat was glistening and there were five circles, four connected by undulating paths and one circle by itself.

[QUIX NOTE: I'm not likely to post many pics from this article. Please check them out with the rest of the article at the link to Linda's webpages.]

. . .
. . .
We began to run down the hill and into a tramline that went straight to the edge of the pattern. Everyone was laughing and yelling until we reached the edge of a large circle. I walked forward and was stopped by what felt like a wall of jello. I had encountered that same kind of jello resistance before in a lab near a large Tesla coil that was emitting an electrostatic field.

Everyone became quiet, in awe of the “swirling water” in front of us. The wheat plants were laid down in fluid, liquid-looking patterns, seven layers deep in some places. I lifted up top plants to find a layer below going 90 degrees to the top layer. I lifted up the second layer and found a third layer going 45 degrees to the second layer. I lifted up the third layer to find a fourth layer going 90 degrees to the third layer And so on down to the soil, each layer going a different direction to the layer above.

The other people had walked to the far left end circle. But for some reason, I was drawn to the edge of the large circle that had an L-shaped pattern projecting outward. I touched the wheat heads on the edge of that circle and suddenly was overwhelmed with the sense that I was not alone, that a presence of Another Intelligence was palpable and It was “absorbing me.” When I have stared into the eyes of Siberian tigers in a zoo, I have felt the same powerful intelligence that watches me in curiosity, but if I crossed a certain line my survival would not be guaranteed. In fact, the residue in my mind after that encounter with the unseen is that life is not guaranteed on Earth and that crop formations might be a link to an incomprehensible intelligence concerned about influencing the Earth’s future timeline. That was July 1992.

The next year in 1993 and nearly every year since, I have gathered soil and plant samples from crop formations in England and the United States to ship to W. C. Levengood at his Pinelandia Biophysical Laboratory in Grass Lake, Michigan.

A year after that in 1994, Dr. Levengood published his crop circle research in the international botany journal, Physiologia Plantarum. His article was entitled, “Anatomical anomalies in crop formation plants.”

CROP CIRCLES

[QX: Naysayers who want to claim no such peer reviewed articles exist . . . once again have to eat crow. They are usually such willy-livered . . . silly rabbits . . . to be extremely charitable, that they virtually never apologize for their brazenly wrong accusations.]

Physiologia Plantarum 92: 356-363 1994, “Anatomical anomalies in crop
formation plants” © 1994 by W. C. Levengood, Biophysicist.

By then, Dr. Levengood described crop formations as “force diagrams,” with the plants providing visual clues as to the type and structure of the energy involved. He wrote: “evidence is presented, which indicates that structural and cellular alterations take place in plants exposed within the confines of the crop formations – differences that were determined to be statistically significant when compared with control plants taken outside the formations.” Biophysical changes include:

- Abnormal growth node swelling and reorientation caused by microwave heating. In 1996 in a Butte, Nebraska, wheat formation, Dr. Levengood found on the left – growth nodes reoriented 72% compared to normal control stems in the center. Some of the plants shown on the right had node reorientations up to 173% compared to the normal control plants.

CROP CIRCLES

Growth node swelling and reorientation in Butte, Nebraska, wheat formation, 1996.
- Expulsion cavities in growth nodes also caused by microwave heating. The hole in each growth node shown here was caused by heating of the water in the nodes hot enough to burst out, leaving the holes. These expulsion cavities were found throughout a flattened circle of wheat in Garnett, Kansas, in 1994.

CROP CIRCLES

Growth node expulsion cavities in Garnett, Kansas, wheat formation, 1994.
- Another dramatic example of expulsion cavities where growth nodes exploded from microwave heating was discovered in a concentric ring formation on June 28, 1997, in a Salem, Oregon, wheat field.

CROP CIRCLES

Growth node expulsion cavities in Salem, Oregon, wheat formation, June 28, 1997.
- Abnormal accelerated growth in embryogenesis that produces looped, malformed peduncles. The white arrow points at a malformed peduncle at the base of the wheat seed head discovered in a 1999 formation at Avebury, Wiltshire, England. The peduncle is the stalk right below the seed head. The malformation is caused by ion-electron avalanches from spinning plasma vortices that interact with the plants during the crop formation process and accelerate growth in peduncle cells.

QX NOTE: I don't think they have more than a slightly educated guess as to what's REALLY causing such things. It's just the only sort of logical thing they can come up with . . . and some very limited lab experiments give some believability to the micro-wave aspect.]

. . .
. . .

- Here is another severely abnormal peduncle that loops and loops and loops caused by accelerated growth after a spinning plasma vortex containing ion-electron avalanches interacts with the plants during the creation of a crop formation in Whitefish, Montana, also in 1999.

The top seedlings show 80% increased seed development over control seedlings on bottom, collected in a June 28, 2003, wheat formation in Solano, California. Seed development in crop formations can also go the other way – be weaker and less vigorous.

Why do crop formation seeds have either vigorous, accelerated seed development? Or weaker, slower growth? Dr. Levengood has studied seeds, plants and soil from 322 crop formations in the United States, England, Canada, and Israel since 1993. He is convinced that the force involved in producing the complex and genuinely mysterious crop patterns are spinning plasma vortices. In the spinning plasma vortex, Dr. Levengood hypothesizes there are two energy components that have the most impact on plant growth and structure:

1) Microwave Radiation Energy – that can produce tissue heating and slow down or stop embryonic growth, cause changes in cell walls, expand growth nodes and heat node water to eruptions that leave holes in growth nodes.

2) Ion-electron Avalanche Energy – can produce seedling growth enhancement as an antioxidant that reduces free radical levels in seeds.

The next year in 1995, Dr. Levengood published in the Journal of Scientific Exploration more about his ongoing crop formation research entitled, “Semi-Molten Meteoric Iron Associated with A Crop Formation.”

The formation that convinced him was a 1993 wheat pattern on a hillside at Cherhill in Wiltshire County, England. The big formation was 445 feet long. Right in the middle were two overlapping arcs that no one had ever seen before in crop formations.

In the 1991 book, “The Civilization of the Goddess, The World of Old Europe by Marija Gimbutas, I found examples of Old European script that included the “lu” symbol underlined in green. That symbols was commonly used 6,000 to 7,000 years ago on religious objects and is interpreted as communication between man and the gods.

As an experiment, a magnet was dragged through some of the wheat. One seed head stuck to the magnet. That seed head was covered with a thin coating of iron oxide. Since the iron glaze was distributed like spray paint over the 1993 Cherhill soil and plants, Dr. Levengood reasoned that the iron was in a liquid or semi-liquid state rotating inside a spinning plasma before it was deposited by centrifugal force during the formation’s creation. The likely source of the iron? Meteoritic dust in the upper atmosphere.

Dr. Levengood wrote, “Both soil chunks and plant tissue taken from specific regions within the 1993 wheat crop formation in Cherhill, England, exhibited a high degree of magnetic attraction. That is because iron oxides, hematite (Fe2O3) and magnetite (Fe3O4) fused into a heterogeneous mass like a ‘magnetic glaze.’ This material appears to be of meteoric origin and apparently impacted the ground while in the semi-molten state.”

The above 40-power photomicrograph taken in 1993 at Dr. Levengood’s laboratory shows the underside of a Cherhill wheat leaf’s epidermal cell structure imprinted with thin magnetic iron glaze. The backside of this leaf was not even damaged by the molten iron deposit because of the Liedenfrost effect. That means suddenly heated leaves can release steam through their stomata that creates a protective layer between the leaves and whatever warm substance touches them. In this case, it was melted meteoric iron particles sprayed on the plants and soil.

Dr. Levengood asked, “Is it possible that a pair of downward directed, counterclockwise plasma vortices intersected and captured meteoric dust along the way?”

Working backwards from the biophysical evidence, Dr. Levengood hypothesized that plasmas of positively charged ions and negatively charged electrons were spinning high in the atmosphere and descended toward the ground carrying microwaves and other complex energies. But the source of spinning plasma vortices is still a mystery.

Dr. Levengood wondered if the iron dust were heated to a semi-molten state by microwaves contained in the plasma sub-vortices? The next step would be that spinning plasma vortices carried the iron dust to the wheat field where complex energies created the Cherhill pattern. If so, this would mean there is an unknown phenomenon of ionospheric plasma vortices that can descend to the Earth’s surface, interact with crops and grasses and leave remarkable, often baffling patterns that indicate the spinning plasma can compartmentalize its energies in clockwise and counterclockwise directions and enhance growth in one ring of crop and repress growth in another ring.

Whatever the source of the spinning plasmas, the evidence indicates that meteoric dust impacted the ground while in a semi-molten state and was confined to multiple, tight vortices within the 1993 Cherhill wheat formation.”

Since his publication about finding the magnetite sprayed on the Cherhill wheat and soil, Dr. Levengood has found high concentrations of magnetic iron in some other crop formations, as much as 700 times higher than normal soil (0.4 milligram of magnetite per gram of soil.) Further, the distribution of magnetic iron on the soil indicates it was spun outward by centrifugal force.

To date, Dr. Levengood has studied soil from more than 100 crop formations around the world and says, “In about 99% of those soil cases, these were spherical, tiny - ranging from 5 microns up to 100 microns or about 1/10th of a millimeter. EDS (Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy) shows the spheres are pure magnetite.”

For those who argue the magnetite nodules in crop formation soil is just some natural phenomenon, in 2002 the journal Nature published two articles about spherical micrometeorite particles. What was emphasized in both papers was how rare these particles are. Twenty or thirty magnetite particles were found down at the bottom of a well in Antarctica about 80 feet underground. In crop formations, Dr. Levengood has opened up some soil sample bags from magnet drags and under a microscope, he has found hundreds of magnetite and hematite particles. That means the spinning plasma vortices have attracted meteoritic iron dust into them and the result is a unique concentration of magnetite nodules in crop formation soils.

Dr. Levengood thinks low-energy plasmas could explain the mysterious lights photographed in and around crop formations, sacred stone circles and dolmens. He thinks the reason could be electric and magnetic field anomalies at sacred sites that enable low energy plasma creation.

For example, here is a photograph taken on August 1, 1999, of British crop circle investigator, Gordon Stewart, sitting in the center of a large pattern at Roundway in Wiltshire County. The spiraling plasma arch was not seen by Gordon, the photographer, or anyone around him at the time.

The camera was 35mm with activated flash. Dr. Levengood hypothesizes that the arch of white light is produced by low-energy plasmas that could not be seen by human eyes. But the silver in the 35mm film was sensitive enough to record the photon energy in the plasma.

Other mysterious small spheres of light have been seen with human eyes - and even photographed and videotaped in and around crop formations – since the early 1990s. Here for example, is a small, visible sphere of light that moved rapidly above the triple crescent formation at Barbury Castle, Wiltshire, England on August 7, 1999.

Why are some plasma spheres seen and photographed, but the spinning plasma vortices that Dr. Levengood thinks is responsible for creating many of the truly complex crop patterns around the world not seen and photographed? That is still an unsolved physics mystery.

Crop circle photographer and investigator, Andrew Pyrka, from Cheltenham, England, drove several hours to reach the pattern at 3:30 AM on July 12, about two days after the pattern was first reported.

At dawn, Andrew was photographing in the early light and was shocked to see three, bright, orange-yellow balls of light moving in the air not far from the formation where the round, orange circle is. Thus, the 2010 Guy’s Cliffe wheat formation combines an extraordinary and unique pattern with the presence of the mysterious glowing spheres that Dr. Levengood would now call, “intelligent plasmas of unknown origin.”
