What is Known

Evidence of the Artist

The cover of darkness only works some of the time. Many eyewitness accounts testify to a variety of lights, in many colors, that dance across the fields and hover, projecting beams of light on the ground. The product of this artistic light show is seen in stunning display as the day breaks across the natural canvas. Strange sounds are reported in the vicinity of crop circle formations and often are the only indication that a work is in progress.

Altered States

From a distance, the area that forms the design appears to have been flattened by a small, and very versatile, steamroller. But closer examination reveals an intricate method used to create the depressions. Millions of plants are delicately interwoven as though a mat was being made. At the same time, many levels of these swirling and living mats are layered in alternating clockwise and counter-clockwise patterns. They are not broken, but gently bent into shape with no damage to the plants, which will continue to grow and produce, as though nothing unusual has taken place. That is the outward appearance, what's inside the plant has also been changed. Whatever process is employed, it actually alters the fundamental biophysics and biochemistry of the plants. Some have described the effect as resembling an exposure to intense, but not harmful, microwave radiation. The entire surface of some formations is glazed with a layer of minute particles of pure iron, while areas just outside the effected areas are not. The purity of these particles is not found in iron produced anywhere on Earth.

The Cattle Connection

The other phenomenon associated with agriculture is bovine excisions, commonly known as cattle mutilations. The anomalies shared with crop circles are strikingly similar. Both happen almost exclusively at night, with no evidence of human or mechanical presence. Strange lights and objects in the immediate vicinity of excisions and circles are commonly reported. Extraordinary sounds are heard in both situations. Animals will not eat the excised animal carcasses or the altered plants and wild as well as domesticated animals scrupulously avoid the areas of the anomalies. Alteration of plants is common and the most stunning parallel is also the most unearthly. The same highly purified particles of refined iron are present in the excisions as well as crop circle formations. Since the metal calling card is almost exclusive to these two anomalies, it's a good bet that the same force is responsible for both. Pure iron is also found in the anomalous iron pillars found throughout India and at UFO landing sites not connected to agriglyphs or large animal excisions.

A Logical Conclusion

In simple terms, whatever the force or entity may be that is producing crop circles; it is not from the known world. They are reported all over the globe, affecting an unlimited variety of plants and environs. Writing has even appeared, interpreted to reveal ominous statements of displeasure by the authors. It is even more ominous that our leaders are either ignoring the evidence or, worse still, hiding any truth they may have discovered. If the latter is the case, they are committing the worst type of social crime. Hiding such incredible truth is no less a crime than misrepresenting it.

This is what we know. What we don't know is without measure. One thing is certain though; crop circles are without equal in design and beauty. Until the true circle makers reveal their purpose, the truth will remain a mystery. At this point, we are left viewing these design masterpieces much as we would works of art in a gallery. Only the artists' names are missing from the canvas.
