The Crop Circle Phenomenon

By Ray Bilger

Crop circles are unexplained patterns that are found primarily in wheat fields in England, although they are found in many other places around the world, and in other grain fields. But 90% of the now 9,000 sightings are from England. Their sudden appearance may go unreported unless spotted by someone in an airplane or someone familiar with them. Numerous websites can show you photos of them, such as www.cropcircleconnector.com.

The phenomenon was first reported in modern times in 1972 when Arthur Shuttlewood and Bryce Bond were sitting on the slope of Star Hill near Warminster, England trying to catch a glimpse of the strange unidentified flying craft that had made this part of England a UFO Mecca for almost a decade. But what they saw was something even more extraordinary. Only a hundred feet from them they saw an imprint take shape in a field of wheat—and a large circular area of plants collapsed within twenty seconds.

Crop circle formations are often accompanied by sightings of unusual lights and unidentified craft beaming shafts of light onto a field. Most formations are created at night between 11 p.m. and 4 a.m.

Then in the early 1990s, two elderly gentlemen, Doug and Dave, stepped forward and proclaimed that they had hoaxed all the circles and fooled the world. All they had used was a couple of planks, some string, and a baseball cap. The mystery was solved. But it soon became apparent that they would have had to be in hundreds of places at the same time. The men were interviewed by Colin Andrews of Circles Phenomenon Research International who asked them how they did this one (pointing to a complex pattern they claimed they had done). After a few moments they said, "We didn't do that one." The interview went downhill from there.

It has since been discovered that the Doug and Dave story originated from the British Ministry Of Defense, in collusion with the C.I.A. Evidence supplied by a high-ranking informant in the M.O.D. proves the government intended to discredit the phenomenon to quell the growing public interest in crop circles. (see www.strayreality.com/Lanis_Strayreality/crop_circle_mysteries.htm)

The problem with hoaxing is that it requires a physical object to flatten the crop to the ground, thereby breaking the plant stems. In genuine formations the stems are not broken, but bent, about an inch off the ground, where they re-harden into their new permanent bent position without damaging the plants in any way. Plant biologists are baffled by this phenomenon. When examined by experts, the plants show that the cells have actually been altered, hence, it is scientifically possible to separate genuine crop circles from manmade ones.

On July 7, 1996, pilot Rod Taylor was flying with a passenger in his Cessna near Stonehenge. It was 5:00 p.m., and nothing unusual was seen at 500 feet above the area. Forty-five minutes later the passenger was now driving his car back past Stonehenge and noticed that cars had stopped and people were getting out to look at something spectacular in a field. There in the field was a crop circle of complex mathematical design, 900 feet long, with 149 circles. A Royal Air Force pilot flew over the area only fifteen minutes earlier looking for crop circles, but had seen none. The elaborate formation was made in less than fifteen minutes (and probably in less than one). It took a team of 11 people over 5 hours just to survey the formation.

Suzanne Taylor, Executive Producer of Crop Circles: Quest for Truth, says, "The most unusual thing happening on Earth has not been taken seriously… The phenomenon is a function of processes we can't perform, done by intelligences with design capacities that exceed virtually all people's talents… What is the meaning of the crop circle phenomenon? Another intelligence is making contact. That's all we know for sure… We are being visited and signaled. There is no debate about this among those who are paying attention to what is going on. That there is so little recognition of the fact that this is happening is as astonishing as the very existence of these art works that are executed from another dimension."

John Michell, author and specialist in sacred geometry said, "A great power has arisen, directing our thoughts and perceptions in a certain direction, towards a more complete and satisfactory view of reality than the modern conventions of materialism have previously allowed. Gently, subtly, with no disturbance or panic, we are being guided across a watershed, from one world view to another. And this is in no way arbitrary, but a purposeful process, in accordance with the interests of Eternal Nature and the necessities of the present. We can now see something of what the ancients meant when they spoke of revelation."

The reason I have now brought this whole subject to the fore is because of something I just learned. On July 15, 2008, a new crop circle was discovered at Avebury Manor, near Stonehenge (see www.cropcircleconnector.com/2008/aveburymanor/aveburymanor2008a.html). The new formation shows our Solar System, with the Sun and planets in specific positions. But it is not their positions today, it is the positions they will be in on Dec. 21, 2012, the end date of the Mayan Calendar, discussed in my book. Very interesting. If I find more info about this, there will be a Part II.
