SCIENTISTS RECORD FLASHES AS MYSTERY CIRCLES FORM IN ENGLISH CORNFIELDS
|
|
LONDON (JULY 25) REUTER - Excited scientists said they recorded evidence on
|
|
Wednesday that could solve the centuries-old mystery of circles in English
|
|
cornfields which have aroused speculation of visitors from outer space.
|
|
Experts filmed two big circles being made during the night amid a barrage of
|
|
unexplained flashing lights in a field in the southern county of Wiltshire.
|
|
It was the first known recording of the formation of symmetrical circles that
|
|
have puzzled Englishmen since the Middle Ages.
|
|
Theories of what causes them range from earthworms to whirlwinds to
|
|
spaceships.
|
|
In medieval times, countryfolk believed they were the work of the Devil.
|
|
Scientists from Britain, Japan, West Germany and the United States monitored
|
|
Wiltshire cornfields round the clock this week with thermal imagers and
|
|
low-light cameras.
|
|
On Wednesday, they recorded two circles being made, one about 100 metres (330
|
|
feet) across, the other half that size, said Colin Andrews, leader of the
|
|
project coordinated by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).
|
|
Analyzing their recordings hours later, they sent in helicopters to take
|
|
daylight pictures of the find and said they had made a significant scientific
|
|
discovery.
