Key Articles and Themes

"PROGRESS IN THE 1994 SEASON" by Barbara Davies (Page 3): Davies notes the unprecedented volume of information received for the 1994 season, thanks to the 'croppie network' and aerial photography. She mentions the ongoing work on a computer database and apologizes for the tardiness of the issue due to the overwhelming amount of data. She also introduces Jim Lyons as the new Scientific Research Focaliser.

"SNIPPETS FROM THE SECRETARY" by Patrick Palgrave-Moore (Page 3): Palgrave-Moore discusses the administrative changes within CCCS, noting improved member satisfaction and a resurgence of interest. He highlights the phenomenon's survival despite attempts to eradicate it and suggests that some formations involve non-human origins. He also mentions Dr. Levengood's research and the upcoming publication of his findings.

"What to pay, and How" (Page 3): Due to air-mailing costs, subscription rates for The Circular have increased. The magazine also notes changes in accepted credit card payments.

"Publications" (Page 3): CCCS has published two sets of 8 postcards featuring 1993 & 1994 formations, which are proving popular. Investigations into producing an Annual Yearbook or a 1995 Calendar are mentioned, with the latter being announced as a "Perfect Christmas Gift."

"EDITORIAL WITH BITS AND PIECES" by Barbara Davies (Page 4): Davies notes the trend of authors offering speculations and insights into consciousness and the bridging of dimensions in crop circles. She previews upcoming articles on star connections, dowsable lines, electromagnetic experiments, and Wolfgang Schindler's analysis of crop-circle proportions. She also mentions the upcoming illustrated data-list of 1994 formations and the increased media interest and tolerance within the crop circle scene.

"HUMAN EFFECTS RESEARCH" by Lucy Pringle (Page 4): Pringle requests reports on strange sensations or effects experienced by individuals in or near crop formations, assuring confidentiality. She notes recent reports of strange taste sensations.

"Anomalous Effects" by Patrick Palgrave-Moore (Page 4): Palgrave-Moore takes over the role of Focaliser for Anomalous Effects, dealing with anomalies of Light and Sound, and Equipment Malfunctioning related to crop circles. He clarifies that this is distinct from Lucy Pringle's work on Human Effects.

"The Scottish Croft Originals" (Page 5): Bob Mitchell reports on three mysterious circles and a grapeshot in grasses, wild flowers, and reeds near Fort William, Scotland. The formation was noted for its precise alignment and bent stems.

"The Chester formation" (Page 5): A schematic scorpion shape formation appeared near Chester, noted for its asymmetrical design and perfect balance on the slope.

"More low-flying IFOs" (Page 5): Reports of unusual helicopter activity, possibly related to military interest in crop circles, are mentioned in connection with the Chester formation, Midlands, and Dorset.

"Mystery rings" (Page 5): Irish grass circles in County Down are reported as reliable first-hand accounts.

"STRANGE GOINGS-ON in the W. Kennet Longbarrow 'Flying Duck' formation" by John Holman (Page 9): Holman describes his experience visiting a formation nicknamed 'Droopy' in Wiltshire. He recounts several unusual events while attempting to photograph it with a radio-controlled aircraft, including a sheared bolt and camera malfunction, interpreting these as a sign to respect the formation and its energies.

"THE WEB: THE DISCOVERY" by ilyes (Page 10): ilyes recounts her experience discovering a new formation near Avebury Henge, which she describes as a "10-petaled Flower" and later a "three-dimensional Web." She notes its completion and the awe it inspired, suggesting it might be the "Grand Finale" formation of the season.

"THE CROP CIRCLE IS ITS OWN MESSAGE" by Stanley Messenger (Page 8): Messenger argues that crop circles are a symptom of a fundamental conflict in world views: whether reality is limited to sensory experience or can extend to other dimensions. He suggests that both sceptics and believers can be naive and that crop circles are natural phenomena, not an invasion of the familiar world.

"Our Friends The Sceptics" (Page 6): This section discusses the role of sceptics as a 'touchstone' for perception and commonsense, suggesting that without them, complacency might set in. It also touches upon the concept of the 'Heyoka' in spiritual traditions.

"ORGONE 94" (Page 6): Andy Collins reports on results from a project involving visual sightings, audible anomalies, and instrumental responses related to crop circles, with findings under review.

This issue of The Circular magazine delves into the complex world of crop circles, exploring various perspectives from personal experiences to scientific theories and the ongoing debate between genuine phenomena and hoaxes.

Peace in the Eye of the Storm

Andy Thomas reflects on 'Project Sky' at Cissbury Ring, recounting a humid and stormy night on July 1st, 1994, where a group of CCCS Sussex members gathered for a mass 'tune-in' to 'the circlemakers'. The experience was marked by shifting weather currents, lightning, and a sense of connection with a perceived higher intelligence. Thomas describes the event as a way to acknowledge the 'living breath of the planet' and to ponder humanity's future. He notes the presence of cows, a fading sunset, and the storm circling but not directly threatening their exposed location. The group later settled for a second stage of tuning-in, experiencing a searing light and a strange bolt of reddened lightning. The evening concluded with a sense of awareness that their efforts had been noted, and a feeling that the 'circlemakers' were happy to let humanity discover its own path.

The Essence of a Crop Formation Lies in Its Empty Innermost!

Palden Jenkins discusses the concept that the purpose of a cup, room, or person lies in its emptiness, applying this to crop formations. He argues that society's materialistic focus on physical evidence leads to confusion, while the true nature of crop formations lies in energy-wavelengths beyond immediate identification. Jenkins suggests that crop formations are 'footprints' of advanced multi-dimensional intelligences (MDIs) and that the distinction between earthly and non-earthly beings is hazy, as humans are also multidimensional. He posits that the search for contact with circle-makers reflects an unconscious craving for reunion with ourselves. Jenkins explains that MDIs instigating formations seem free of form, time, and space, unlike humans clad in dense physiques. He believes crop formations demonstrate that psychic engineering is possible and serve to counteract the belief that materiality is the only reality. These formations are described as 'empty yet specifically-formed and precisely-charged spaces' that invite us to enter their reality. Jenkins suggests MDIs are scanning us to understand us and to acclimatize people to interacting with them, offering terse, riddlesome answers to our questions. He also touches upon 'Irradiation and Reprogramming', suggesting that formations may be slow-release programming keys for Earth and humanity, potentially altering fundamental structures and rearranging human group psychology.

Cropcircle Apocalypse or Apocrypha?

T. Roy Dutton reviews John Macnish's book 'Cropcircle Apocalypse', which attempts to demonstrate that crop circles are hoaxes. Dutton acknowledges Macnish's assertion that Doug Bowers and Dave Chorley created a trend, but argues that there is significant evidence to disqualify this mundane solution. He criticizes the book's amateurish quality and its conclusion that the subject should disappear. Dutton also discusses his own test of a 'Doug n' Dave' circle against his mathematical precision discovery, finding discrepancies. He recounts his experience at the 'Question Mark' formation during the 1990 Blackbird project and Macnish's inability to explain it. Dutton concludes by urging hoaxers and debunkers to cease their efforts, stating that the mystery of crop circles continues and that the answers may not be to our liking.

Reviews

Several reviews cover books, videos, and lectures related to crop circles:

• 'Cropcircle Apocalypse' by John Macnish: Reviewed by Paul Vigay, this book is described as an attempt to debunk crop circles by presenting them as hoaxes. Vigay notes the book's amateurish quality and its focus on the 'Doug and Dave' hoaxers. He questions Macnish's evidence, particularly regarding the 'Mandlebrot' formation and a third-hand account of post holes. Vigay also discusses Macnish's video, which he finds to be an insult to intelligence and an attempt to close the subject.
• 'Crop Circle Communiqué II - Revelations': This review by Paul Vigay discusses a video by John Macnish that aims to prove all circles are hoaxed. It covers the 1991 Operation Blackbird, the 'Doug and Dave' announcement, and a circle-making contest. The review mentions interviews with hoaxers like Jim Schnabel and Adrian Dexter, who demonstrate how their teams made formations.
• Glastonbury Symposium 1994: Ray Cox reports on the fourth annual event, highlighting the magnetic ambience and the gathering of crop circle community members. He notes the improved quality of new-style formations in 1991 and the media's increased interest. Cox mentions speakers like Michael Glickman, John Martineau, Stanley Messenger, and Palden Jenkins, who discussed geometry, consciousness, and the nature of the phenomenon. The report also touches on the controversy surrounding the Bythorn event and the concept of 'hidden proportional geometry'.
• AGM Lecture — Circles of Consciousness: Jim Lyons summarizes a talk by an unnamed speaker on the connections between stone circles, crop circles, geophysics, consciousness, and electrochemistry. The lecture explored the 'bridging point' between physics and subtle energies, the history of reality perception, and practical dowsing demonstrations.
• Forces of Meditation: This review discusses Andrew Collins' work at Woodborough Hill, which he considers a new 'UFO Mecca'. Collins' team records the effects of focused human attention and meditation, noting changes in electromagnetic fields and photographic anomalies, suggesting a connection between circles and UFOs.
• Quantum Pictograms by Jazz Rasool: Jazz Rasool explores the role of subtle energies and consciousness in crop circle formation, drawing parallels with the film 'Star Wars' and his academic background in astrophysics and computer modelling. He discusses String Theory, Quantum Supergravity, and the concept of 'shadow matter' existing in ten dimensions. Rasool suggests that consciousness influences space-time and that crop circles are 'pictograms' or 'projections' of elementary 10-D shapes, conveying a message from a universal intelligence.

The magazine presents a balanced approach, featuring personal testimonies, scientific analysis, and critical reviews of debunking efforts. The editorial stance appears to be one of open-minded investigation, encouraging readers to consider the profound implications of crop circles for our understanding of reality, consciousness, and humanity's place in the universe. There is a consistent emphasis on the idea that the phenomenon may be a form of communication or programming from non-human intelligences, urging readers to look beyond conventional explanations and to engage with the mystery on a deeper, more personal level. The publication champions the idea that the true meaning of crop circles may only be grasped when humanity evolves to a state of implicit understanding.

Title: The Circular
Issue: Volume 5 Number 2
Date: Summer 1994

This issue of The Circular magazine delves into the complex world of crop circles, exploring various theories, interpretations, and reported phenomena. It features articles that question assumptions, decode mysterious symbols, and report on unusual sightings and formations across the UK.

Articles

Crop Circle Assumptions by Andy Thomas

Andy Thomas critically examines the assumptions made by cerealogists regarding crop circles. He highlights how easily assumptions can be based on false deductions, leading to misinterpretations of whether formations are man-made or not. Thomas uses examples from the Summer 1994 Circular, including quotes from Barbara Davies and Steve Alexander, to illustrate how definitive distinctions between genuine and hoaxed formations are often impossible. He questions the assumption that 'young farmers' are solely responsible for creating crop circles and points out that even claims of evidence can be unreliable. The article also touches upon Michael Green's assumption that the 'hoax scam is over' and that formations near motorways are necessarily man-made. Thomas concludes that assumptions can be dangerous and provide ammunition for sceptics.

A Purely Non-Scientific Speculation by Wolfgang Schindler

Wolfgang Schindler offers a speculative theory about crop circles, linking them to Quantum Supergravity and the 'meaning of life'. He suggests that crop circles might be the universe's reflection of humanity's search for meaning. Schindler proposes an experiment involving a grid of tractor tracks in a cornfield, with quartz clocks and transmitters at each crossing point, to detect differences in time signals. He also suggests looking for 'strange material' within circles, theorizing that atomic structures might lose information due to 'atom-shrinking' processes. He believes that understanding these phenomena could shed light on the relationship between time and gravity.

The Milk Hill Cipher 1991 by Patricia Villiers-Stuart

Patricia Villiers-Stuart investigates the 'Milk Hill Script' from a 1991 crop circle, which still baffles decoders. She explains how her 12-year-old grandson deciphered it using 'The Usborne Spycatcher's Guidebook' and 'Secret Messages' by Jeff Hawtin, which detail variations of the Pig Pen code used by 16th-century Freemasons. The article delves into the history of this code, its connection to Freemasons and Rosicrucians, and its potential link to the Shakespeare-Bacon controversy. It also references a Thomas Brierley and his gravestone, which used multiple codes. Villiers-Stuart speculates whether those involved in crop circles might possess a similar Masonic-Rosicrucian-Shakespearean aptitude.

Calling All Dowsers and Channellers by Arthur Hamlin

Arthur Hamlin shares his understanding of crop circles through automatic drawings of their energies and the intelligences behind them. He describes a 'being' involved in drawing up raw energy or redirecting it into positive nodes in ground grids. Hamlin's interpretation of a formation suggests that the 'major cause' is large solar activity combined with a negative mental/oral outburst. He explains that crop formations extract energies from deep within the earth and process them, affecting spiritual energy grids and the body's meridian lines. He proposes that dowsing can reveal extraction and distribution areas, explaining the varying effects people experience within formations.

News from the Branches

This section provides updates from various regional CCCS groups:

• Anglian Circular News (John Sayer, Chairman Norfolk CCCS): Reports on the discovery of two circles at Norwich and a formation near Swainsthorpe, consisting of two oval concentric rings with a 'grapeshot ring'. The circles were difficult to find and access, highlighting the importance of aerial spotting and anonymous reports.
• Pictograms at: Wandlebury & Westwick: Mentions visits to formations in Cambridgeshire, including pictograms at Sutton, Girton, and March, and a damaged dumb-bell formation at Islip.
• Anomalous plant? (Westwick): Describes a broken length of wood found in a Westwick formation, which appeared to be deliberately placed and interwoven with the crop, suggesting authenticity.
• Contact in Cornwall (Barbara Davies, Cornish Crop Circle Group): Discusses the group's approach to crop circles, focusing on visits to ancient sites and power spots, intuitive date selection, and a sense of spiritual connection. They report a few modest but immaculate formations in Cornwall.
• Cornish patterns: Mentions a 1991 formation and the group's thought-bubble for 1994, noting that Wessex-style pictograms are out of place in Cornwall.
• Dorset (David Kingston): Reports on a 'first Astrogram' sighting – a large circle of lights observed by a retired couple, with 26 other people reporting similar sightings. The branch is holding talks to explain the phenomenon.
• Hertfordshire (Mike Rogers): Describes a formation at Bourne End with three circles, suspected to be a hoax but fitting Steve Clemenson's 'star-mapping' theory. UFOs were also observed.
• Dowsing reports on 1994 (West Midlands Formations, Michael Newark): Reports a quintuplet formation at Nettle Hill, Coventry, as genuine with necessary earth energy patterns.
• Lapworth/Lowsenford Circle: Details a quintuplet formation near Coventry, described as a 'spider's web' of concentric/spiral and radial earth energy. The formation was anticlockwise and light, with neat edges. The article suggests a possible link to previous dowsing work that cleared ley line distortions.
• Energy lines diverted: Discusses how stones with quartz were found to be distorting earth energy lines in a field, and how clearing them allowed normal patterns to re-establish.
• Yorkshire (John Hohnan): Mentions small but varied formations in Yorkshire, including one at Acaster Malvis with unusual effects on barley heads, described as 'emotional amplification'.
• Unusual Effects at Birling Gap (Andy Thomas, Editor, Sussex Circular): Details the controversial Birling Gap formations, where crop was bent over at 180 degrees and woven into 'nests'. The article questions whether rooks could be responsible, citing the advanced weaving and the effect on other plants. Samples have been sent for analysis.
• More on Rook Damage (Barbara Davies): Discusses two formations in Fowey that resembled crop circles but lacked lay patterns and had stripped grain, with a dead rook found in one. It questions whether EM discharge or birds could be responsible.
• Formations Abroad: Briefly mentions crop circles in Germany, Holland, and Sweden, noting a 1994 circle in Harplinge, Sweden, which sparked speculation about fireballs or extraterrestrials.

News from Abroad

This section of the magazine focuses on crop circle reports from outside the UK, primarily from Canada and the USA, with a brief mention of Australia. The editor appeals for English summaries of German FGK cropcircle magazine articles.

Canada & the U.S.A.

The summary, based on reports from ilyes, Paul Anderson, and Carol Pedersen, highlights an 'outstanding year' for crop circle activity.

Weird and Wonderful Reports:

• Tully, Australia: Reports of non-cereal circles and 'very odd things'.
• S. Carolina, USA: A collection of circles, lines, and boxes spread over approx. 100 acres, with reports of a 'black deposit' in the rings. This was tentatively attributed to extensive wind-damage, similar to an effect reported near Ropley, Hampshire, UK, though the Carolina event was unverified.
• British Columbia, Canada: Approximately 30' circles appeared in brush, grass, and soil.
• Troy, Illinois, USA: Circles appeared in sweet flag grass in the same location as previous years.
• Remote Locations: Some circles appeared in very remote areas, making hoaxing unlikely.
• Vienna, NY, USA: A 'comma' shaped formation was reported in corn (maize).
• Florida, USA: A cylindrical crater, 180' deep and 125' across, appeared on top of a 15-story gypsum mound.
• Wisconsin, USA: An Unexplained Ground Marking (UGM), a 2' wide ring of ash 30' across, appeared on a lawn. It is unclear if this was a burnt or scalded grass ring.

Ethnic Influence?

The issue highlights new-style pictograms, with a 'forerunner' quintuplet near Carol Pedersen's home in Oregon, USA. This formation was aligned true NSEW, featuring a ringed central circle and a southern satellite that was a ring, not a circle. Unusual features included splitnodes, black mould, and an appearance of extra ripeness in the laid crop. Carol Pedersen's watch battery became flattened. The formation was noted to be in line with two nearby circular roundabouts, suggesting the circle-makers might be aware of landscape features.

Following this, two formations in wheat near ilyes' home in Chehaylis, Washington, USA, were described as having a distinctly American-Indian look.

Windsor, Ontario, Canada: A 150' pictogram in wheat was observed. A flattened rat or musk-rat was found in the centre of one small grapeshot, considered a possible later addition.

Oregon, USA: Another 150' pictogram was reported near power-lines, not far from a previous '5-tuplet' formation. This formation exhibited unevenness but included a variety of bent, blasted, and coloured nodes, along with an intricate lay. No tracks were found, but footsteps were heard, and a strong dip in a compass-needle was noted. Split and exploded nodes were also found in a double ring or ringed circle formation in Oregon.

Letters

Tim Mayne, London: Discusses the 'circle-makers' ability to align formations on ancient earth-energy lines and modern tramlines simultaneously, coining the term 'Inherent Paradoxical Synchronicity'.

D. and D.'s baseball cap sighting device: John Erik Beckjord's article is discussed, with a reader explaining that the sighting method used by tractor drivers for creating straight lines is not new. The method involves lining up with a distant static object. The reader also questions the need for a sighting device, suggesting it's to enhance mystery, and doubts its effectiveness in total darkness without a 'pillar of fire'.

Steve Jones, Ascot: Comments on the 'this year's designs', noting a fluidity and similarity in formations like the Scorpions, Bee, and Berwick Bassett Down Insectograms. He suggests either a coordinated hoaxing effort or that the 'circlemakers' have adopted graphic art styles, possibly moving into art nouveau. He concludes that for one group to create all these formations is unlikely, implying multiple groups with art college training.

Erik Beckjord, California: Presents a theory that aliens are using humans as experimental animals, with crop circles serving as a psychological and sociological experiment to evaluate human reactions and social systems. Researchers, editors, and writers are identified as 'major rats' in this test.

Barry Reynolds, Andy Thomas & Martin Noakes, Sussex: Provide corrections to an article about 'Crop Circle Music' by Peter Glastonbury. They dispute dates and locations of formations like Sompting, Lancing, and Titch Hill, and clarify details about mutated formations and the appearance of additions.

Chris Phillips, Norfolk: Expresses irritation with the naming of crop formations, finding it trivializes the phenomenon. He uses the 'Disney Duck' or 'Droopy' formation as an example and questions if the 'circlemakers' message is simply to create duck shapes.

Dennis Wheatley, Wiltshire: Corrects an article on 'Saturn Gates', suggesting that '00' in the Bythorn formation table should represent an infinity symbol, not a lack of frequency. He encourages the magazine to continue its good work.

Bruce Jellinek, Brazil: Recalls experiencing a repetitive whistling or hissing sound, interpreted as being produced by a magnetic/ionizing device he created. He believes this device might have attracted the 'circle-maker' event.

Questionnaire on Crop Circles and Health

A form is included for individuals who have experienced abnormal mental or physical sensations connected with crop circles. It asks for details about the circle, the experience before and after visiting, health problems, and any unusual observations. It also includes a scale to mark well-being before and after, and asks about willingness to be quoted or interviewed.
