"Like Ed said, Luke Air Force Base isn't saying anything. The Air Force just finished trying to handle to fiftieth anniversary of the Roswell incident not too long ago."

Dan Wells was looking at and listening to MacNeil. Dan needed to tie up some loose ends in his mind about this. As Bill paused for questions or comments, Wells posed his question. Not really a question. A funny feeling.

"Bill, this somehow makes me think of your crop circles. An obvious, open thing that a lot of people see. An action with a purpose. What do you think?"

He directed the question to MacNeil, but really, Wells put it on the table for the group to discuss.

Bill was well aware of the possible connection here. So were Ed and Jim Etienne. Team Three had some knowledge of this but had not talked about it with Teams One and Two. They had been busy with their physical fitness and Camp Pendleton.

Several of them glanced at O'Brien. Over the months they had worked with him, he seemed to know a lot more than he was saying. Since they were all on a need-to-know basis, that was an accepted way of doing things. But maybe they did have a need to know at this point. O'Brien waited and listened.

MacNeil didn't say anything.

Wells wanted to pursue the point of the public nature of the crop circles and this apparent public fly-over by something over Phoenix.

"You all know that one of my paths of research has been geological and other Earth changes," Wells said. "I've passed on the intel on the pole shift theories and melting glaciers. But I have to admit I've held back a little."

"There's a line of thought that integrates some of the astronomy, archeology, and geology with the metaphysical … and maybe with the UFOs."

He had their attention. His seven colleagues looked at him in the supportive manner they had all become accustomed to.

"It's sometimes called names like 'Planetary Ascension.' The idea is that our planet is evolving on many levels: Earth's position and trajectory in the solar system might be changing. Geological changes on a big scale could happen such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis."

"But there's something else going on at a more subtle level. The sub-atomic and quantum physics, and the spiritual factors in our environment on Earth may evolve in a noticeable way."

"I've looked at the crop circle photos and read all the different analyses and opinions. It seems to me that they are messages directly to the public about these kinds of Earth changes. Sort of a 'one picture is worth a thousand words' kind of thing. There clearly is mathematical and physics-oriented symbolism in them."

"A friend of mine who works with Navy crypto looked at the photos and the intel. He agrees that they say something interesting. He's preparing detailed interpretations of several of the crop formations for us."

Dan felt better now. Like he had gotten something off his chest.

Karen Thorsen responded first.

"What's a time frame on these alleged changes, Dan?"

"Unknown, Karen. My crypto buddy is looking at that."

"The reason I ask is that we're sitting here on the edge of the Pacific Plate and the Ring of Fire, aren't we?"

Karen Valdez also wanted to know about Wells' reference to spiritual factors.

"Dan, is this like the Bible prophesies about some kind of change, and breakthrough?"
