Crop Circles - Magic or Man? Whilst flying high in the sky overlooking the beautiful, awe-inspiring country side around Avebure, Wiltshire, UK, filming overhead shots from a microlight for Dragons and Rings, I was lucky enough to witness the phenomenum of crop circles from a very distinct advantage point. Then I received a call on my mobile from a friend, telling me that Gary King, a guy I had been speaking to a day or so previously had been mounting an over night vigil, complete with infra red surveying equipment, above a field where a crop circle had appeared in the dawn light of the early morning. As members of the national press converged on nearby Alton Barnes for a hastily called conference I met up with Gary and recorded a unique interview with him about his experience that night.
Human involvement for these circles in the corn was originally credited in 1991 to two men, Doug Bower and Dave Chorley, who claimed to create the circles using planks of wood and a baseball cap with a ping pong ball strung from its peak for sighting purposes, and various groups continue to take credit for each and every circle that has appeared before and since. However, crop circles have been recorded for many hundreds of years, all over the world in everything from corn to snow to rice and even trees! There are certain anomolies that can be found in crop circles that are being studied by very well placed and accredited scientists, some of whom I am lucky to know and occassionally work with. Not the least is the apparent bending of the corn at its nodes with some kind of microwave signature being found in the stem cells. The arguement will undoubtedly go on, but if they were occuring without the intervention of man, then how could they be created? There are many theories being propogated and many of those can be easilly found on the internet. For my own part, on a quantum level, it has already been recorded that various energy forms build up in sacred sites and stone circles and at various points these are released at tangential angles into the surrounding environment. It may be no coincidence that a lot of crop circles occur very near to sacred sites, 'ley lines' and stone circles as they could well be the result of this 'energy' earthing into the ground. As for the shapes, again, studies have shown that when various frquencies are applied to water (try singing into a bowl of water!) or iron filings, different patterns appear, a lot of which have been found in crop circles. This really is only the begining of an answer to what these energies are and the relationship between human intervention and crop circle patterns. |
