Crop-circle peculiarities

There are a number of interesting anomalies common to many crop circles which separated them from their obviously faked counterparts. In genuine crop circles the plants remain unharmed and are still growing despite their flattened condition. The circular designs may be swirled either clockwise or anticlockwise, from a center point, in a wave pattern, rather than a tight spiral. At the center of the circle there is often a small hole, resembling a birds nest. Less mature plants, or a different species grouped together within the same area may often be left standing. Interestingly, despite the fact that 60 percent of the circles appear on rainy nights farmers have never discovered the presence of any mud inside a circle. Many crop circles have been found to contain light, powdery deposits covering the plant leaves. This substance has been determined to be comprised of a magnetic iron ore known as magnate (which could be meteoric dust), silicon dioxide and magnesium oxide. All plants within the circles appear to have been subjected to a sudden and intense burst of heat. This has the effect of softening the stems and enlarging the stem node, so that they drop, at ground level, at a 90 degree angle, they re-harden into their new permanent position without sustaining any apparent damage. On a microscopic level, enlargement of the cell wall pits, in the membrane surrounding the seed head have been found. These are the holes through which nutrients pass to feed the seed. Interestingly, it has been documented that seeds germinated from crop circles occurring in mature plants grow faster and develop into larger, stronger plants than normal, while those occurring in less mature plants, produce stunted seedlings. Holes are also blown out at the plant stem nodes, usually at the second, though increasingly at the third and fourth node. Crop circles also show the presence of ultra sound-sound above the range of human hearing. Such frequencies are also known to exist at ancient sacred sites such as stone circles and burial mounds. Higher than normal levels of electromagnetic energy have been measured within crop circles. These have the ability to interact with human and animal brainwave patterns, and crop circles have been reported to effect peoples biophysical rhythms. It is not uncommon for people to report feeling sensations of heightened awareness and even healing, within crop circles. Many people also experience dizziness, disorientation and nausea, possibly caused by the presence of microwaves. There was also an unusual occurrence in a crop circle in Canada involving two porcupines. Most animals, it seems, detect an impending crop circle event and will flee the area. Porcupines however are staid creatures, and in the face of danger tend to hold their ground and rely on their quills for defence. In the Canadian incident the remains of one porcupine was found, practically incinerated, while the other was found intact. However, there were skid marks showing where it had apparently been dragged from the edge to the center of the circle. Where it lay, its spines where bent in perfect alignment with the rest of the crop circle. Geometry In the early1990s Gerald Hawkins, a mathematician famous for is work with Stonehenge, became interested in crop circles. After examining ground surveys and aerial photographs he began to take measurements of crop circles and calculate the diametric ratios. In 18 particular patterns that included more than one circle. In 11 of them, he found ratios matching the diatonic scale corresponding to the white keys in an octave on the piano. He then began to look for significant geometric relationships within the lines and circle found in more detailed crop circles. He soon discovered four distinct geometric theorems connecting crop circle patterns, later he developed a more general theorem from them. Hawkins explained that the general theorem involves a series of concentric rings touching the side of a triangle. As

the shape of the triangle shifts, it creates unique crop circle patterns. Interestingly, Hawkins was unable to find any of his theorems in Euclidian geometry. From this, he drew the conclusion that they were part of a more ancient mathematics.
In 1985, another Ludovico, this time Granchi, witnessed a massive UFO hover over his home in Rio de Janeiro. As Granchi watched the craft, a brightly lit panel covered with black symbols, resembling a holographic projection, was revealed to him. Granchi felt a peculiar compulsion to copy down the symbols, and a sense of dire importance that he be as accurate as possible. To date, the alien symbols of Ludovico Granchi have not been decoded:

I. Local Geographic 1 The most complex and famous formations occur within a definite area in England (Wiltshire, Hampshire, Wessex) 2 - often in close proximity to England's humanly-constructed Neolithic traditional ritual ceremonial sites (Stonehenge, Silbury Hill, Avebury, etc.) 3 - on dowsable earth-energy lines (Michael's Meridian, Michael/Maria line, subsidiaries), and on ley-lines between historic holy sites 4 - aligned with magnetic or cardinal compass directions sometimes 5 - atop underground water sources, aquifers, or close to reservoirs, springs, rivers 6 - symmetric consistent regularity in the symbol's structure, despite differences in the field's topography, soil and moisture variations, patching of plants, etc. 7 - often on sloping ground offering good views of the formation 8 - often within view from or in close proximity to other sites, or to previous years' formations 9 - sometimes in the same fields through different years 10 - in temporarily growing fields of our daily food: f.ex. in grains as wheat, rye, barley, canola, rice; in vegetablefields as potatoes, carrots, turnips, brussel sprouts; in sugar-cane and sun-flower plants; in tree-plantations; but also in grass, sand, scrub, snow and ice II.
