Even more amazing than this very sophisticated method for forming crop circles is the fact that nodes can be individually
targeted. The direction of the bends as well as the height of the nodes affected can change within the same pictogram,
which can yield very sophisticated formations. This is irrefutable evidence that the images in crop circles are formed by
some kind of a controlling device like a computer, which issues commands for another device that emits radiation
impacting on the plants. - Spheres of about 1 foot in diameter hovering over areas where crop circles were forming have
been repeatedly observed. - Many designs look like computer created graphics. In fact, some designs are so complex
and spiked with mathematical information that only a computer could have created them. Other designs depict sacred
symbols from many different peoples all over the world.
There is evidence that the crop circle producers react to comments and attempts to dismiss the crop circle phenomenon
by promptly producing circles, which invalidate objections. This raises the question: how do they get to know about that?
The only way to really know what's going on without being there is to telepathically retrieve this information from people
talking about this subject. This adds another dimension to the concern about these activities because it implies that the
producers of crop circles know exactly what goes on in the minds of people dealing with this phenomenon. They will
always be a step ahead of possible opponents.
Crop circles were found on fenced off military grounds and some believe that this proves that the military is conducting
tests with secret radiation weapons aimed at destroying enemy crops. - Development of new weapons is always
conducted in secrecy. There is nothing secret about the crop circles. Moreover, crop circles can be found all over the
world. Why and how would the British military go to all these places and trespass on foreign private property to test a
secret weapon? This is as absurd as assuming that two old men with a string and a board could penetrate fenced off
tightly guarded military installations to make crop circles.
Music of the spheres?
Interview with Gerald S. Hawkins
by Monte Leach
A radio astronomer reports on the mathematical relationships within the elements of crop circles in England.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gerald S. Hawkins earned a Ph D in radio astronomy with Sir Bernard Lovell at Jodrell Bank, England, and a D Sc for
astronomical research at the Harvard-Smithsonian Observatories. His undergraduate degrees were in physics and
mathematics from London University. Hawkins’ discovery that Stonehenge was built by neolithic people to mark the rising
and setting of the sun and moon over an 18.6-year cycle stimulated the new field of archaeoastronomy. From 1957 to
1969 he was Professor of Astronomy and Chairman of the Department at Boston University, and Dean of the College at
Dickinson College from 1969 to 1971. He is currently a commission member of the International Astronomical Union, and
is engaged in research projects in archaeoastronomy and the crop circle phenomenon.
Monte Leach: How did you get interested in the crop circle phenomenon?
G</i>erald Hawkins: Many years ago, I had worked on the problem of Stonehenge, showing it was an astronomical
observatory. My friends and colleagues mentioned that crop circles were occurring around Stonehenge, and suggested
that I have a look at them.
I began reading Colin Andrews’ and Pat Delgado’s book, Circular Evidence. I found that the only connection I could find
between Stonehenge and the circles was geographic. But I got interested in crop circles for their own sake.
ML: What interested you about them?
GH: I was very impressed with Andrews’ and Delgado’s book. It provided all the information that a scientist would need to
start an analysis. In fact, Colin Andrews has told me that that’s exactly what they intended to happen. I began to analyse
their measurements statistically.
The major scale
ML: What did you find?
GH: The measurements of these patterns enabled me to find simple ratios. In one type of pattern, circles were separated
from each other, like a big circle surrounded by a group of so-called satellites. In this case, the ratios were the ratios of
diameters. A second type of pattern had concentric rings like a target. In this case, I took the ratios of areas. The ratios I
found, such as 3/2, 5/4, 9/8, ‘rang a bell’ in my head because they are the numbers which musicologists call the ‘perfect’
intervals of the major scale.
ML: How do the ratios correspond with, for instance, the notes on a piano that people might be familiar with?
GH: If you take the note C on the piano, for instance, then go up to the note G, you’ve increased the frequency of the
note (the number of vibrations per second), or its pitch, by 1 1/2 times. One and one-half is 3/2. Each of the notes in the
perfect system has an exact ratio — that is, one single number divided by another, like 5/3.
ML: If we were going to go up the major scale from middle C, what ratios would we have?
GH: The notes are C, D, E, F, G, A and B. The ratios are 9/8, 5/4, 4/3, 3/2, 5/3, 15/8, finishing with 2, which would be C
octave.
ML: How many formations did you analyse and how many turned out to have diatonic ratios relating to the major scale?
GH: I took every pattern in their book, Circular Evidence. I found that some of them were listed as accurately measured
and some were listed as roughly or approximately measured. I finished up with 18 patterns that were accurately
measured. Of these, 11 of them turned out to follow the diatonic ratios. Colin Andrews has since given me accurate
measurements for one of the circles in the book that had been discarded because it was inaccurate. That one turned out
to be diatonic as well. We finished up with 19 accurately measured formations, of which 12 were major diatonic.
The difficulty of hitting a diatonic ratio just by chance is enormous. The probability of hitting 12 out of 19 is only 1 part in
25,000. We’re sure, 25,000 to 1, that this is a real result.
ML: Could this in some way be a ‘music of the spheres’, so to speak?
GH: I am just a conventional scientist analyzing this mathematically. One has to report that the ratios are the same as the
ratios of our own Western invention — the diatonic ratios of the (major) scale. We have only developed this diatonic
major scale in Western music slowly through history. These are not the ratios that would be used in Japanese music, for
instance. But I am not calling the crop circles ‘musical’. They just follow the same mathematical relationships.
Who done it?
ML: You’ve established that there’s a 25,000 to 1 chance that these ratios are random occurrences. What about natural
science processes?
GH: Natural science processes, left to their own devices, like whirlwinds, rutting hedgehogs, and bacteria have no
relationship to the diatonic ratios. They (the diatonic ratios) are human-invented. They are the human response to
sound. The only place I can find diatonic ratios in nature are bird calls and the song of the whale. I don’t think the birds
made the circles, nor did the whales.
ML: So we’ve eliminated natural phenomena. What about Douglas Bower and David Chorley (Doug and Dave), the two
Englishmen who claimed last year that they created the circles. Could they have formed these diatonic ratios?
GH: They could have, if they knew about the diatonic scale, and wished to put it in the circles. But I think we have to
quote their reason for making the circles. They said they “did it for a laugh.” That’s fine. If they did it for a laugh, then it
doesn’t fit with putting in such an esoteric piece of information. I did write to them. They never replied.
ML: You wrote to them saying what?
GH: “Why did you put diatonic ratios in?”
ML: And they didn’t reply.
GH: No. I think we can eliminate them. It’s so difficult to make a diatonic ratio. It has to be laid out accurately to within a
few inches with a 50 foot circle, for example.
ML: And many if not all of these circles were created at night.
GH: Yes. Mostly they seem to be created at night.
Intellectual profile
ML: That eliminates natural processes and Doug and Dave. What’s left?
GH: Lord Zuckerman [former science adviser to the British Government] wrote a review of Colin Andrews’ and Pat
Delgado’s book. He said that before we start building theories we should first investigate what would be perhaps the
most pleasant solution for scientists, which is that the formations were made by human hoaxers. In a way, he’s not stating
that that is his notion. He thinks it would be the simplest explanation. In fact, I am not supporting the theory that they are
made by hoaxers. I am only investigating it.
ML: You’re investigating the theory that it’s done by hoaxers to see if that makes sense?
GH: Yes, but now I’ve upgraded the investigation, because I’ve found an intellectual profile. This means I’ve eliminated all
natural science processes, so I don’t have to consider any of those any more. The intellectual profile narrows it down.
ML: What have you found in terms of this intellectual profile?
GH: My mathematical friends have commented on my findings. The suspected hoaxers are very erudite and
knowledgeable in mathematics. We have equated the intellectual profile, at least at the mathematics level, as senior high
school, first year college math major. That’s pushing it to a narrow slot. But there’s more to this than just the diatonic
ratios.
Undiscovered theorems
ML: How so?
GH: The year 1988 was a watershed because that was when the first geometry appeared. It is in Circular Evidence.
These geometrical patterns were quite a surprise to me. There are only a few of them.
ML: These are in addition to the circles you investigated in terms of the diatonic ratios?
GH: The geometry is really ‘the dog’, and the diatonic ratios of the circles are ‘the tail.’ That is, there is much more
involved in the geometry than in those simple diatonic ratios in the circles, although, interestingly, the diatonic ratios are
also found in the geometry, without the need for measurement. The ratio is given by logic — mind over matter.
ML: What did you find from these more complex patterns?
GH: Very interesting examples of pure geometry, or Euclidean geometry.
ML: You found Euclidean theorems demonstrated in these other patterns?
GH: These are plane geometry, Euclidean theorems, but they are not in Euclid’s 13 books. Everybody agrees that they
are, by definition, theorems. But there’s a big debate now between people who say that Euclid missed them, and those
that say he didn’t care about them — in other words, that the theorems are not important. I believe that Euclid missed
them, the reason being that I can show you a point in his long treatise where they should be. They should be in Book 13,
after proposition 12. There he had a very complicated theorem. These would just naturally follow. Another reason why
he missed them was that we are pretty sure that he didn’t know the full set of perfect diatonic ratios in 300 BC.
ML: These are theorems based on Euclid’s work, but ones that Euclid did not write down himself. But they are widely
accepted as fulfilling his theorems on geometry?
GH: Only widely accepted after I published them. They were unknown.
ML: Based on your analysis of these crop circles, you discovered the theorems yourself?
GH: Yes. A theorem, if you look it up in the dictionary, is a fact that can be proved. The trouble is, first of all, seeing the
fact, and then being able to prove it. But there’s no way out once you’ve done that. The intellectual profile of the hoaxer
has moved up one notch. It has the capability of creating theorems not in the books of Euclid.
It does seem that senior high school students can prove these theorems, but the question is, could they have conceived
of them to put them in a wheat field? In this regard, we’ve got a very touchy situation in that there is a general theorem
from which all of the others can be derived. I stumbled upon it by luck and accident and colleagues advised me to not
publish it. None of the readers of Science News [which published an article on this subject] could conceive of that
theorem. In a way, it does indicate the difficulty of conceiving these theorems. They may be easy to prove when you’re
told them, but difficult to conceive.
ML: And I would assume that the readers of Science News,would be pretty well versed in these areas.
GH: It’s a pretty good cross-section. The circulation is 267,000. We found from the letters that came in that Euclidean
geometry is not part of the intellectual profile of our present-day culture. But it is part of the culture of the crop circle
makers.
ML: What about the more recent formations?
GH: Now we enter the other types of patterns — the pictograms, the insectograms. Exit Gerald S. Hawkins. I don’t know
what to do about those.
ML: Your investigations leave off at the geometric patterns.
GH: The investigations are continuing, but I haven’t gotten anywhere. I see no recognizable mathematical features. I’m
approaching it entirely mathematically, because there is the strength of numbers. There’s the unchallengeability of a
geometric proof of a theorem, for example. The other patterns involve other types of investigation, such as artistry and
images. But everything I’ve told you here shows that we’ve got a developing phenomenon, starting from the very simple
arrangement of diatonic ratios, to a very intricate way of showing diatonic ratios in the geometries, and now to something
which I think hardly anybody would claim to understand — the pictograms, insectograms, and so forth.
ML: So the major focus of your work right now is looking into these?
GH: Yes. It’s totally absorbing. It’s not a joke. It’s not a laugh. It’s not something that can be just brushed aside.
ML: Is there anybody else who is investigating it seriously in terms of your scientist colleagues?
GH: No. It boils down to two factors. You wouldn’t get a grant to study this sort of thing. And, two, it might endanger your
tenure. It is as serious as that. There are whole areas in the scientific community that are not informed about the crop
circle phenomenon, and have come to the conclusion that it is ridiculous, a hoax, a joke, and a waste of time.
It’s a difficult topic because it tends to raise a knee-jerk solution in people’s minds. Then they are stuck. Their minds are
closed. One can’t do much about it. But if they can keep an open mind, I think they’ll find they’ve got a very interesting
phenomenon.
From the December 1992 issue of Share International
by David Kingston
I have been researching the Crop Circle phenomena since I saw my first one in 1976. I had been on a "night watch" for
UFO's on Clay Hill in Warminster. Three separate orbs of approximately six feet in diameter of coloured light had been
weaving around and above us for some three hours on the top of Clay Hill, merging at times into a single globe and then
separating again above us, suddenly one of the orbs descended to some thirty feet above us and then flew down into a
field at the base of Clay Hill. As dawn broke I noticed a flattened circle in a field of wheat. On inspection there were no
broken stalks just a perfectly flattened circle some thirty feet in diameter. At that particular point in time I had seen and
had knowledge of the famous "Tulley UFO Nests" in 1966 at Australia but had not heard of anything of a similar nature
in this country. There then appeared to be a lapse in the appearances of any Crop Circles despite my search and
request for any information on them until the early 1980's.
In my search and research for them during that period of time I uncovered a mention of them in early French literature
(800AD). The Bishop of Lyon at that time had written to the local parish priest who was taking over his parish just
outside of Lyon. The contents of the manuscript were basically to warn the new priest that there had been "devil
worship" by his local parishioners who were collecting seeds out of "flattened circles" and using them for fertility rites.
I spoke to quite a few farmers who remembered seeing "odd shapes" in their fields or their parent's fields when they
themselves were young but no real proof. I uncovered information from a second world war pilot who had been returning
to RAF Tangmere after an aerial reconnaissance mission over Germany, as he approached the grass runway at his
base he saw two flattened circles in the nearby growing cereal crop and photographed them not knowing what they
were. I tried in vain to locate these two black and white photographs, which the pilot remembered were handed on the
aerial reconnaissance film but once again to no avail. The pilot remembers seeing the film with the German aerial
photographs and the two crop circles on it at his debrief which were then sent to the Air Ministry Intelligence at Whitehall.
During the early 1980's there were simple circles appearing in cereal crops ranging in sizes from ten to thirty feet in
diameter but as we moved into the latter half of the eighties more complex shapes started to form which generated a lot
of media attention. We had a definite evolution happening with the Crop Circle Formations or Crop Glyphs as they were
called and lots of theories being put forward as to the causes ranging from meteorological effects, military experiments
through to UFO's and encounters of the human kind. They were, and do not only appear during the hours of darkness,
they were and still do not only appear in just summer cereal crops, but in grass, stinging nettles, winter crops such as
beet and kale, sugar cane, underwater in rice paddy fields in Japan, in the snow 13,000ft up in the mountains in
Afghanistan, in fact world wide, not just restricted to Southern England as quite a few people believed such as the two
famous Doug & Dave.
These two hoaxers had claimed to have made all the crop circles in England since 1970's; little did they know then the
extent of the formations. Yes, each year we do have formations that are man made, this is in no dispute with any of the
researchers, but this does not account for remaining ones for which there appears to be no logical explanation.
With my investigations into the UFO enigma since the 1950's I felt, and still do, that there is a link and in 1988 I started
up my own research unit called Crop Phenomena Investigations.
Since that period I have been working with several institutes including the famous Dr. William Levengood's laboratory in
America.
He is a biophysicists and with his team carry out research on all samples sent to him from around the world that are
taken out of Crop Circle Formations including the ones from this country. He has had his research papers published in
several scientific journals worldwide.
What do we really know in regards to the formations?
Fact, we know from the scientific research that I am involved in that they are (the genuine formations) formed by an
energy, which has the ability to alter the molecular structure of the plant without damaging it and the ability to alter the
growth rate and pattern. This same energy has produced numerous photographic anomalies.
Fact, There is a distortion in the earth's electromagnetic field, sometimes a ghost image a short distance from the
original formation.
Fact, spheres of light have been recorded on film in the formations, also military helicopters seen flying over these
spheres apparently taking quite a keen interest in them.
Fact, the energy involved appears to be benign and to my knowledge is not used on this planet.
Fact, some formations radiate a frequency at approximately 7.5hz in the electromagnetic spectrum but this can vary from
formation to formation. Many researchers and the BBC Television whilst filming in a formation have recorded it. I,
recently using the aid of a computer and a specialised programme, have discovered that these beautiful creations of art
in the fields are capable of producing the most unusual sounds and music.
Fact, this same frequency has been picked up many times in close proximity to UFO sightings.
Fact, despite several ploughings after the crop has been harvested the shape of some of the formations have remained,
in some cases, in the soil for at least six months. This cannot be achieved by "crop formations" made by humans.
Fact, in some of the formations, compasses rotate at will denoting a magnetic anomaly present, camcorders, cell phones
and other battery run equipment have displayed a discharged battery state when this is not the case.
Fact, crop outside of the formation does not display the same characteristics changes in cell structure as the crop found
inside.
Fact, there is no level of consistency, in some formations we have the sound factor, the magnetic anomalies,
photographic anomalies and the lasting impressions in the soil but this is not to say you will find one or all of these in the
next formation you visit but it can still turn out to be part of the genuine article.
Fact, if no human being goes into a formation the crop will continue to grow and the farmer will not lose any crop, only
possibly what the birds will eat by the downed seeds.
Fact, farmers have combined the formations from their fields to avoid damage by the members of the public when they
have occurred only to find another one appear a short distance away the following day.
Fact, mineralogist Sampath Iyengar of Technology of Materials Laboratory examined the degree of crystallinity (the
ordering of atoms) in soil samples taken from within the formations using X-ray diffraction and a scanning electron
microscope. He was shocked to find a temperature of between 1,500 and 1,800 degrees F would be required to alter the
soil crystallinity to the level found and this of course destroy any plants in the formation.
Fact, each year human beings causing untold criminal damage to crops create a large number of formations, and my
sincere sympathy goes out to the landowners. I just wish more landowners would prosecute these criminal vandals.
Scientific papers have been recently released on the research carried out by Dr. William Levengood and are available
to the general public for a small fee to cover the costs of package & postage from the United States of America. I have
the research laboratory's address on my web site. Lucy Pringle, a fellow researcher, has carried out over the past seven
years the physical and physiological effects the formations have had on human beings. I would like to thank her for
allowing the use of her superb aerial photographs that she takes to accompany my article.
So what are we left with? Beautiful geometric patterns in the fields, which defy our laws of logic, physics and reasoning
but none the less, keep appearing worldwide. This does not include the large number that are man-made.
They appear to have a very spiritual, profound effect on all who visit or research them; perhaps if nothing else this is
their reason.
Like the UFO scenario, there have been cover-ups with the Crop Circle Formations, they are a mystery which one day
mankind will know, for the truth is out there, if you know where to look.

SINCE THE RECENT release of the movie Signs, crop circles have been thrust into the limelight. Such major publications
as Scientific American and U.S. News and World Report have echoed the common belief that all crop circles are made
by stealthy humans flattening plants with boards. This assumption would be fair enough if we had no information
suggesting otherwise.
However, intriguing data published in peer-reviewed scientific journals clearly establishes that some of these geometric
designs, found in dozens of countries, are not made by "pranks with planks." In fact, a study about to be published by a
team of scientists and funded by Laurance Rockefeller concludes "it is possible that we are observing the effects of a
new or as yet undiscovered energy source."
In the early 1990s, biophysicist William C. Levengood, of the Pinelandia Biophysical Laboratory, in Michigan, examined
plants and soils from 250 crop formations, randomly selected from seven countries. Samples and controls were provided
by the Massachusetts-based BLT Research Team, directed by Nancy Talbott.
Levengood, who has published over 50 papers in scientific journals, documented numerous changes in the plants from
the formations. Most dramatic were grossly elongated plant nodes (the "knuckles" along the stem) and "expulsion
cavities" -- holes literally blown open at the nodes -- caused by the heating of internal moisture from exposure to intense
bursts of radiation. The steam inside the stems escaped by either stretching the nodes or, in less elastic tissue,
exploding out like a potato bursting open in a microwave oven.
<snip>
Published in Physiologia Plantarum (1994), the international journal of the European Societies of Plant Physiology,
Levengood's data showed that "plants from crop circles display anatomical alterations which cannot be explained by
assuming the formations are hoaxes." He defined a "genuine" formation as one "produced by external energy forces
independent of human influence."
A strange brown "glaze" covering plants within a British formation was the subject of Levengood and John A. Burke's
1995 paper in the Journal of Scientific Exploration. The material was a pure iron that had been embedded in the plants
while the iron was still molten. Tiny iron spheres were also found in the soil.
In 1999, British investigator Ronald Ashby examined the glaze through optical and scanning electron microscopes. He
determined that intense heat had been involved -- iron melts at about 2,700 degrees Fahrenheit -- administered in
millisecond bursts. "After exhaustive inquiry, there is no mundane explanation for the glaze" he concluded.
<snip>
In 1999, philanthropist Laurance Rockefeller made possible the most definitive -- and most revealing -- study to date.
The BLT Research Team collected hundreds of plant and soil samples from a seven-circle barley formation in
Edmonton, Canada. The plants had both elongated nodes and expulsion cavities, and the soils contained the peculiar
iron spheres, indicating a genuine formation. The controls showed none of these changes.
Mineralogist Sampath Iyengar, of the Technology of Materials Laboratory, in California, examined specific heat-sensitive
clay minerals in these soils, using X-ray diffraction and a scanning electron microscope. He discovered an increase in
the degree of crystallinity (the ordering of atoms) in the circle minerals, which statistician Ravi Raghavan determined was
statistically significant at the 95 percent level of confidence.
"I was shocked," says Iyengar, a 30-year specialist in clay mineralogy. "These changes are normally found in sediments
buried for thousands and thousands of years under rocks, affected by heat and pressure, and not in surface soils."
Also astounding was the direct correlation between the node-length increases in the plants and the increased
crystallization in the soil minerals -- indicating a common energy source for both effects. Yet the scientists could not
explain how this would be possible. The temperature required to alter soil crystallinity would be between 1,500 and 1,800
degrees F. This would destroy the plants.
Understanding the possible ramifications of these findings, Talbott sought the expertise of an emeritus professor of
geology and mineralogy at Dartmouth College, Robert C. Reynolds Jr., who is former president of the Clay Minerals
Society. He is regarded by his colleagues as the "best-known expert in the world" on X-ray diffraction analysis of clay
minerals.
Reynolds determined that the BLT Team's data had been "obtained by competent personnel, using current equipment."
The intense heat required for the observed changes in crystallinity "would have incinerated any plant material present,"
he confirms in a statement for the Rockefeller report. "In short, I believe that our present knowledge provides no
explanation."
<snip>
Scientists face real and serious questions in confronting this mystery. Could this be secret laser technology beamed
down from satellites? Is it a natural phenomenon? Is there a consciousness or intelligence directing an energy form yet
unknown to us?
"To look at the evidence and go away unconvinced is one thing," says astrophysicist Haisch. "To not look at the
evidence and be convinced against it . . . is another. That is not science." It's not good journalism, either.
