1993 CROP CIRCLE REPORT BULLETIN #3
|
|
May 27, 1993
|
|
|
|
|
|
From Rosemary Ellen Guiley and Dan Smith, directors
|
|
|
|
Here is the latest in crop circle activity reported in England.
|
|
This bulletin includes information in all previous CNACCS
|
|
bulletins. The most recent activity is given first. The Center
|
|
for Crop Circle Studies, England, has assigned a quality rating
|
|
scale from 1-9, with 1 being the poorest, especially in terms of
|
|
"authenticity" (of unknown origin) and 9 being the highest.
|
|
Ratings are given in some reports. Map reference numbers are for
|
|
Ordnance Survey maps.
|
|
|
|
May 22: Beckhampton, Wilts. Unconfirmed report of a "tiny
|
|
circle." Crop unknown.
|
|
|
|
May 20: Tawsmead Copse, Wilts. Unconfirmed report of circle
|
|
activity associated with UFO sighting. Circle-UFO activity
|
|
reported here last summer.
|
|
|
|
May 17: Near Harwell, Oxfordshire. Map reference SU 484845. 80-
|
|
ft. tight, neat circle in rape, with a 1.5-foot spiral and a
|
|
ridged, "ripple wave flow effect." Rating: 6. No sign of entry
|
|
to field or bruising to flowers. Difficult area to access.
|
|
Inspected by Stanley Morcom, Lucy Pringle and Una Dawood, CCS.
|
|
|
|
May 13: West Overton North Farm, Wilts. Map reference SU135698.
|
|
60-ft. circle in rape with sunburst center. Rating: 6. Remote
|
|
location, found by Busty Taylor, CCS. Later was inspected and
|
|
videotaped by two individuals. Samples taken.
|
|
|
|
May 13: Near Ropley, Hants. Map ref. SU642339. D-shape growing
|
|
in grass. Possible wind damage. Rating: 1.
|
|
|
|
May 12: Glazedgate, Totnes, Devon. Circle reported in Torquay
|
|
Herald. May be reference to 1992 activity.
|
|
|
|
May 11: St. Neots, Cambridgeshire. Tailed shaft with large and
|
|
small circles in wheat. Visible from housing opposite field.
|
|
Found by Montague Keen, CCS. Farmer denied access for
|
|
inspection.
|
|
|
|
May 5: The following five events were reported by Maria Ward, and
|
|
were confirmed by a private pilot. They all occurred near the
|
|
Ridgeway Trail. Details still unavailable.
|
|
|
|
1: Stoke Hayward. A large circle in wheat.
|
|
|
|
2: Iving Oho, north of Tring. A large circle in wheat.
|
|
|
|
3: Leighton Buzzard. 30-ft. ring in rape.
|
|
|
|
4: Childrey Field in Buckinghamshire. A 50-ft. circle in grass,
|
|
not rape as originally reported. Busty Taylor believes that this
|
|
was a natural depression in the land.
|
|
|
|
5: Near M40 before Wantage. 50-ft. circle in rape.
|
|
|
|
May 3: Aston Rowant, Oxfordshire. 60-ft. donut-shaped ring in
|
|
rape. Reported to be "perfectly laid, bent not broken," swirled
|
|
anticlockwise with an eight-foot standing crop center. The site
|
|
is not far from a dumbbell found in wheat last July.
|
|
|
|
May 2: St. Loe, near Bath. 115-foot circle with seven grapeshot
|
|
satellites on one side and four satellites in wheat. Probable
|
|
human origin. The formation is marred by muddy bootprints, and
|
|
the wheat shows evidence of having been trampled by foot.
|
|
|
|
April 21: Near Kennington, south of Oxford. Double ring in
|
|
grass.
|
|
|
|
OTHER CIRCLE NEWS FROM ENGLAND:
|
|
|
|
1993 surveillance/research projects:
|
|
...The CCS is working with small teams of Germans (a group
|
|
called FGK) and Americans to measure environmental changes
|
|
(sonic, ultrasonic, electromagnetic, etc.) in high activity
|
|
areas, specifically the Vale of Pewsey, near Silbury Hill, and in
|
|
the vicinity of Alton Barnes. Teams will work from early June
|
|
through the end of July and beyond if necessary.
|
|
...Project Argus, the U.S.-U.K.-Canadian sampling effort
|
|
mounted in 1992, will not return to England this year. Soil
|
|
samples from last year are nil, and plant sample results are
|
|
inconclusive. Publication of a final report awaits additional
|
|
funding.
|
|
... Dr. W. C. Levengood (Pinelandia Biophysical Laboratory
|
|
in Grass Lake, MI) is working with Nancy Talbott of Boston to
|
|
continue plant sampling in England. Levengood's findings of
|
|
significant results in samples to date are contested by some
|
|
plant biophysicists.
|
|
...Dr. Steven Greer, founder and international director of
|
|
CSETI (Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence),
|
|
Asheville, NC, will again experiment for CE5's and circle
|
|
activity in Wilts. Unconfirmed if he will return to the Carson
|
|
farm in Alton Barnes. The Carsons do not want a repeat of last
|
|
year's crowds.
|
|
...Andrew Collins, English paranormal investigator and
|
|
author of The Circlemakers, will work out of the Carson farm in
|
|
late July (where Project Argus was based last year). His
|
|
project, ORGONE93, will investigate a relationship between
|
|
biologically or organically produced energy (orgone), crop
|
|
circles and luminous anomalies.
|
|
|
|
"Schnabelgate":
|
|
Jim Schnabel's long-awaited critical book on crop circles, Round
|
|
in Circles, has just been published in England, and the first
|
|
copies have been snapped up. Schnabel, an American journalist
|
|
and graduate student in England, was the center of a hoaxing
|
|
controversy last year. He acknowledges making some formations
|
|
with Robert Irving, a circles skeptic from Bath. Initial
|
|
reaction among English cereologists is that the book emphasizes
|
|
personality gossip and sheds no new light on the phenomenon
|
|
itself. At least two prominent persons featured in the book were
|
|
anticipating filing lawsuits, but no grounds have been
|
|
established to support legal action, as of this writing. The
|
|
book, not yet reviewed by us at the CNACCS, is due to be
|
|
published in the U.S. this summer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
CIRCLE IN SPAIN:
|
|
The largest-ever crop formation was discovered in September 1992
|
|
in Samera, a remote region of north Spain. Approximately 1 mile
|
|
in diameter, it consisted of five concentric rings, each about 20
|
|
to 30 feet in width. The total circumference of the rings was
|
|
calculated to 10 miles. The field is 1.5 x 1.5 miles in size.
|
|
Crop unknown. The formation was spotted by a Englishman aboard a
|
|
chartered plane out of Portugal. He shot video footage. The
|
|
farmer confirmed the report. Further information is being
|
|
sought.
