KUALA LUMPUR, (AFP) -
An unidentified flying object was sighted hovering over a quiet village in northern Kedah state near the Thai border, the second such sighting there in two years, a report says.
A nine-year-old boy saw a slow-moving disc-like object about the size of a car emitting a greenish light spinning in the air over Banggol Cicar village near the town of Baling for about four minutes before it disappeared, the New Straits Times said.
Mohamad Amirul Syafiq said at first he thought it was a plane about to crash. "I then called my friends to look at the object which was hovering just over the top of a coconut tree behind my house," he was quoted as saying.
Mohamad Faiz Alias, 12, said he thought Mohamad Amirul was joking.
"But we saw clearly the object in the air, emitting a bright light," Mohamad Faiz said. Kamaruddin Othman, 12, said he realised the object was not a plane because it was silent.
His father, Othman Ahmad, 54, said he also caught sight of the UFO before it disappeared.
Two years ago, a villager said he saw a UFO hovering in the air while on his way to the mosque for pre-dawn prayers, the paper said.

Crop Circles Allegedly Found In Ohio Field Source: NBC4 Colombus News
Posted September 5, 2003
-----------------------------------------
Investigator Says Crop Circle Has High Radiation Level PEEBLES, Ohio -- A southern Ohio mystery has some people wondering if someone -- or something -- from far away stopped by for a visit.
An Adams County woman was checking a soybean field for flood damage last week when she allegedly discovered crop circles. The field is across the road from Serpent Mound.
Some believe what was found in the field is more than just a well-planned joke. Those who have seen the circles say the design appears to be pointing to the ancient Native American mounds and that the markings in the field and tail of the mounds are similar.
An independent crop-circle investigator visited the site and said the radiation levels and electrical and magnetic fields were higher inside than the land outside the design. The investigator said he should have his final report next month.
Personally, I thought the design looked like a globe of the earth with the effects of solar flares on the radiation belts/magnetic lines around the planet.

Strange Flying Object Photographed Over Crop Circle

Posted October 3, 2003
Mona Farrell heard about the new crop circle very near her home in Wallacetown, Ontario and as she put it, "thought we'd go take a boo at it." This was the first crop circle Mona had ever visited. "It was so impressive, the way it was laid down... it was just so flat... it was weaved together..." She said she believed it to be too perfect to have been man made. The circle appeared in late August of this year. While standing in the circle, Mona's friend Amy took a 35mm photo of her. It wasn't until the film was developed that they noticed the peculiar looking object in the sky above Mona. "It's certainly strange," she said, "I don't know what it is."
Mona took the film to a lab and had the negative examined. They determined that whatever it is, it's not a defect on the film, but is actually in the scene and part of the natural photograph.
This was not Mona's first UFO encounter. Roughly a year ago she saw a strange group of lights in the sky and upon grabbing her binoculars saw 5 disc shaped UFOs "weaving" in and out of a formation. Prior to this experience, she and a group of friends saw a UFO hovering in the sky at night outside their living room window.
The strange object in the picture appears to have an entirely symmetrical structure, with two "broom like" extentions on either end of a classic 'cigar' or cylinder shaped UFO body. There is also a bright 'orb' of light below it.
The same anomalous object was photographed above a sacred spot in the Mountains near Lake Isabella, CA, and was invisible to the photographer at the time, using a simple 35mm 'point and shoot' camera. Photo by Brian Milburn of Millennium Research:

QX: It seems to me, the radiation thing would indicate this circle was not one of the hoaxed ones.
Oil would cease to be an energy source, but still is useful as a chemical feed stock. The lower demand and high production capability would result in cheaper plastics, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, pigments, fertilizers, industrial chemicals and yes, grease and other lubricants. A win for the rest of the world. Too friggin' bad for the terrorist supporting states.
The only real problem, IMHO, is the reduction in combustion products will result in much colder global temperatures.

It would be tough on the oil industry, but perhaps the industries that support oil would be able to participate in the alternative.
One benefit of alternate energy is that it would likely deprive the Middle Eastern countries such as Saudi Arabia of most of their fabulous incomes.
