1 00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,320 Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning. 2 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,160 In this episode we're talking about Canadian crop circles. 3 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:10,680 That's correct, Canadian crop circles. 4 00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:12,800 I found what I thought was a pretty good article here on 5 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,520 unsolved.com. It says Canadian crop circles, 6 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:19,840 mysterious crop circles appear in Canada and it has an imager 7 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:23,840 from Canada, from Edmonton crop circle, and then also a lab 8 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,240 report that talks about crop circles have become a well known 9 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:31,800 phenomena all across the globe. Of the 10,000 documented cases, 10 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,400 80% have been proven to be hoaxes. 11 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,920 But what about the other 20%? Well, seems like an awful big 12 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,840 number there if that's actually true, that 80% of these things 13 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,160 are hoaxes. But I guess it doesn't matter as 14 00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:46,520 long as you have the other 20% that they can't explain. 15 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,400 Just kind of like with UFO sightings, a lot of stuff can be 16 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:53,880 explained, but there's always that, you know, batch, whether 17 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,560 it's 20% or whatever, that can't be explained. 18 00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,120 It says 2 farmers from outside Edmonton, AB, Canada, Rusty 19 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,920 Emanuel and Thalia Whitman woke up one day to find a crop circle 20 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,720 formation on their land. 7 precise circles pressed into a 21 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,480 field of Thistle and barley. Philly was stunned. 22 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,800 The grain was all flattened down. 23 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,240 It almost looked like a pattern, like petals, the way that grain 24 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,160 came out. And when the heads turned back 25 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,480 in toward the center again, it was just amazing. 26 00:01:21,960 --> 00:01:25,000 The Canadian Crop Circle Research Network, a volunteer 27 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,360 organization that documents such cases, wasted no time getting to 28 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,240 the site. Judy Arndt is one of the group's 29 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,520 field researchers. It looked like the place had 30 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,160 been electrocuted. It was just amazing. 31 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,040 Looked like there had been a huge force of some sort. 32 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,760 So they're not seeing footprints of people trampling around. 33 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:50,400 They're just seeing these masses of crops being folded over. 34 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,680 Skeptics dismissed the Edmonton crop circle as a hoax. 35 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,720 As shown in a documentary, pranksters can make a crop 36 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,240 circle using pieces of wood and some rope. 37 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,960 They call their creations human land art. 38 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,200 Paul Anderson, director of the CCCRN, has studied many of the 39 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,600 circles in Western Canada. Anybody can go out with the 40 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,960 board and flatten down wheat. And yet something you have to 41 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,640 take into account is it's not just a formation itself, but 42 00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:20,080 it's the complexity of how it's actually constructed, like 43 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,920 multiple layers going in different directions, 1 on top 44 00:02:23,920 --> 00:02:27,080 of the other and so on. And this is very true if you 45 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,920 look at these images, just like anything in nature. 46 00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:32,880 Nature might seem simple at the surface layer, but there are 47 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,240 layers and layers of complexity under what we see. 48 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,600 The three major changes in plants and the Real McCoy, as 49 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:44,080 opposed to man made crop circles are node elongation, expulsion 50 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,840 cavities at the nodes, and germination abnormalities. 51 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,640 Each of these conditions was present in the Edmonton samples. 52 00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:54,000 That means that the characteristics of the crops 53 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,240 were profoundly altered in ways that could not be induced by 54 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:02,160 humans using ropes and boards. Colin Andrews is a researcher 55 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,600 and author. The geometry is precise. 56 00:03:04,920 --> 00:03:09,080 There are no tracks in or out. The plants are not damaged. 57 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,560 They are bent over, they're not knuckled down or broken. 58 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,120 The plants are changed and their internal structure at the 59 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:20,280 cellular level, you don't find that in a hoax, but just think 60 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:24,440 about that for a second. So on the real ones, the real 61 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,640 crop circles, you're not seeing tracks to people walking in and 62 00:03:27,640 --> 00:03:28,960 out. They're not. 63 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,760 The plants aren't just simply pushed over with the board. 64 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,200 They're actually changed at a cellular level. 65 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:41,360 So the complexity here we're talking about is, is infinitely 66 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:48,440 more in the in this crop circles that are not man made. 67 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,560 It's easy to it's easy to find a fake. 68 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,680 Just like if you're looking at in the sky at night looking for 69 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:59,240 UFOs, it's easy to tell if you're looking at a planet, it's 70 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,120 easy to tell if something is a weather balloon or something is 71 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,720 a drone. And constantly the debunkers 72 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:09,440 will try to confuse what people see. 73 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:10,920 They'll try to obfuscate the facts. 74 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:12,640 You see the same thing happening here. 75 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,480 But if you look, if you look very hard at all, you can see 76 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,959 the level of complexity in the real thing, whether it's with 77 00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:21,160 UFOs or whether it's with crop circles. 78 00:04:21,399 --> 00:04:24,280 The soil samples from Edmonton were sent to Doctor Sampath 79 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,600 Iyenger and California. Dr. Ienger specializes in 80 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,600 materials and analysis. We went ahead and looked at the 81 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:36,320 at the mineralogy of the clays using a technique called X-ray 82 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,880 powder diffraction. Their results showed a dramatic 83 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,200 difference between soil samples taken from inside the crop 84 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,000 circle compared to those taken from outside the circle. 85 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:51,160 This has been seen by geologists before, but this is a, but this 86 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:55,840 is in a geologic time over time, several millions of years, and 87 00:04:55,840 --> 00:04:59,280 this has to be some kind of fantastic energy that's causing 88 00:04:59,280 --> 00:05:01,680 this change. And I don't have any idea what 89 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,080 it is. Did you get that? 90 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,120 They're just they're telling you that the changes in mineralogy 91 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:14,080 between where the crop circle's AT and the soil that's outside 92 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:19,600 the crop circle, what should take millions of years, is taken 93 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,480 overnight. They have a new explanation for 94 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,640 it. The theories on what's creating 95 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,160 the circles range from geothermal and magnetic forces 96 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,640 to some kind of cosmic energy. Colin Andrews has explored many 97 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,640 of the theories. We looked at meteorology, we 98 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,720 looked at Earth energies, we looked at chemical application 99 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,080 of the farmers, and all of them led to a blank. 100 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,760 It just did not fit. What we now know is we have a 101 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,960 solid mystery. This cannot be explained in the 102 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,760 terms of people making them. We have many hundreds that are 103 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:58,120 absolutely certainly not man made and that is a solid fact. 104 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,080 Joni Arndt has one final theory that connects crop circles to 105 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,040 UFOs. Says I was. 106 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,320 I was contacted by a young couple who had been driving 107 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,720 along in late evening. He looked out the window and saw 108 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,440 some lights and rolled down the window to make sure it wasn't 109 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,880 just a reflection of his passenger side window and the 110 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,480 lights were still there and he got quite excited about it and 111 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,200 asked his wife to pull over. There were two small lights, 112 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,760 brilliant bluish. Then they said these two lights 113 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:29,280 were playing tag with each other. 114 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,720 The sighting occurred about a week before the crop circle 115 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,800 formation was found. Around the same time, Edmonton 116 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,800 farmers Rusty Emmanuel and Thalia Whitman had a similar 117 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,000 experience. First you thought it was a 118 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,400 helicopter because it moved like a helicopter, but still there 119 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,400 was no other lights on it. It was just bright and would 120 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:52,360 just hover over the field and sort of move off and then come 121 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,920 back again and it just seemed like it passed over the back end 122 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,000 of the pickup and it just disappeared. 123 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,320 It just was so fast, said Teeley. 124 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,240 I tried to picture it as being an aircraft, but it was much too 125 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:10,040 big for an aircraft, said Rusty. Was there a connection between 126 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,040 the strange lights and the sudden appearance of the 127 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,280 Edmonton crop circles? Seth Shostak, senior astronomer 128 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,960 for Study Institute in Mountain View, CA, had this to say. 129 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,960 I believe that the aliens are out there, but I don't think 130 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,240 they're visiting here. The fact that they're, the fact 131 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,760 that so many people feel that there may be something unusual 132 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,920 going on here, I think bespeaks A psychological need that we all 133 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,960 have to believe that there's some powers that we don't 134 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,200 understand. And after all, it's much more 135 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,200 interesting to think that this pattern in the wheat here was 136 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,840 graffiti from beings from another world than to think that 137 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,000 it was students from a local university. 138 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,080 That's not a terribly interesting story. 139 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,360 Now, what he's done there is he's very cleverly set up a 140 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,680 fallacy straw man argument. A straw man argument being, 141 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,600 well, it's just kids from a local university. 142 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,560 Yeah, because they're so bored that they're leaving college to 143 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,800 go out and, and spend hours and hours in the middle of the night 144 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:09,440 doing a crop circle. But he completely ignores the 145 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,440 evidence that these plants that had been, you know, bent over in 146 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,320 this crop circle, they've been changed at a cellular level. 147 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:22,080 He completely ignores the evidence that the soil that's 148 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,480 contained, you know, on the ground or the soil within the 149 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:30,480 crop circle has been changed in ways that should have taken 150 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,080 millions of years when you compare it to the soil outside 151 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,000 the crop circle. That's from the mineralogist. 152 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,919 They send them two Samps. They send them two samples, 1 153 00:08:39,919 --> 00:08:44,280 sample soil from inside the crop circle, and then one sample soil 154 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,920 from outside the crop circle. Just you may be a few feet away, 155 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,360 he says. Hey, something's going on here, 156 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:51,360 man. Something's going on with the 157 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,560 minerals in the soil. Something that should have taken 158 00:08:53,560 --> 00:08:56,120 a million years to occur has happened overnight. 159 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,920 This thing's been beamed with some sort of intensely powerful 160 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,720 energy, and we can tell that from a lot of these places have 161 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,440 radiation signatures left after after the crop circles goes on 162 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,680 and says Colin, Andrew says, I don't think we need necessarily 163 00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:15,440 to be talking or trying to prove that it is or isn't 164 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,920 extraterrestrial. I don't know that either. 165 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,560 What I know is what I'm looking at that has arrived in our 166 00:09:21,560 --> 00:09:24,400 fields. Something knows what it's doing 167 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,560 there. There is intelligence of some 168 00:09:26,560 --> 00:09:28,800 sort. I know they're not made by 169 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,400 people. Over the past decade, more than 170 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,760 10,000 crop circles have been reported from around the world. 171 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:39,000 Assuming that 8000 were made by pranksters, that still leaves 172 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:44,280 2000 that are unexplained and may remain unsolved mysteries. 173 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,960 Just think about it. 2002 thousand crop circles totally 174 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,200 unexplained. Clearly they're trying to tell 175 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,680 us something with these designs. They're leaving, it seems. 176 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,320 It it seems ridiculous that these would just be graffiti, 177 00:09:59,960 --> 00:10:03,280 like the one guy from SETI tried to just pass off. 178 00:10:03,560 --> 00:10:06,360 Always making a little joke out of things, I'm afraid. 179 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,120 While Seti's sitting there staring blankly into space, 180 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,200 these guys will be introducing themselves on the White House 181 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:13,600 lawn. Now, let's take a look at this 182 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,000 next article. I'll finish up here with a 183 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:20,240 couple articles I found about crop circles in Canada going 184 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:26,160 clear back to 2003. This is from elgincounty.ca. 185 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,120 It says Thursday August 14th, 2003 the London Free Press and 186 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,360 has a picture of this whole fellow standing out here in the 187 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,240 middle of his crop circle. The title says circles crop up 188 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,760 for third time in area. Written by Marissa Nelson, Free 189 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,240 Press reporter. A Dateline Iona crop circles 190 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:46,600 have become some sort of a fad in southwestern Ontario as a 191 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,280 third set appeared this week in Elgin County. 192 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,920 And while the farmer who owns the field West of Iona thinks it 193 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,920 is beautiful, he can't explain it. 194 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,160 It's a beautiful pattern, 81 year old Lawrence Holland said 195 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,200 in the farmhouse where he and his wife Grace have lived for 55 196 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:03,960 years. It's as neat as a pen. 197 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:08,200 Earlier this month, a crop circle appeared in Hensel. 198 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,960 A week later, a second appeared on a farm near Brussels. 199 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:16,600 Holland had a neighbor head out on his field behind his home on 200 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,120 Wiley Rd. on a combine on Monday. 201 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,480 The neighbor came back to report the circles. 202 00:11:21,680 --> 00:11:27,120 The field has two circles 120.7 meters in diameter and the other 203 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:31,080 12.9 meters in diameter joined by a pathway. 204 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,880 The wheat is flattened in an anti clockwise direction in both 205 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,320 circles. Each circle is perfect. 206 00:11:37,560 --> 00:11:40,280 The formation has become an attraction for neighbors. 207 00:11:40,560 --> 00:11:43,960 Yesterday afternoon, the Blaney family, who lived nearby, came 208 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,480 to have a look. It's a little close to home, 209 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,480 Patty Blaney said as her four sons roam the field. 210 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,720 You know he's normal, she added, motioning to holla. 211 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,720 I don't think it's the weather and I know it's not Lawrence. 212 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,360 It couldn't have come to a more honest guy, said husband Don 213 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,320 Blaney. It's really strange. 214 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,360 Joanna Emery, a volunteer who investigates crop circles for 215 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,680 the Canadian Crop Circle Research Network, was heading to 216 00:12:08,680 --> 00:12:13,520 Holland's farm late yesterday. She's seen what she calls real 217 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,760 and fake crop circles. My initial reaction was maybe 218 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,120 it's a hoax because they've got so much coverage recently, she 219 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,840 said. But they often have hotspot 220 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,400 areas. Holland figures it's some freak 221 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,640 of nature, like the whirlwinds he's seen on fields. 222 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,200 Neither Lawrence nor Grace saw anything unusual in the field, 223 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:36,000 and they say they would have seen people working in the field 224 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,320 from their back window. There are no footprints, and we 225 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,200 would have seen someone. Lawrence said it would also take 226 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,560 a lot of effort to bend the wheat hard enough to make sure 227 00:12:45,560 --> 00:12:48,240 it didn't spring back up. It's still a mystery. 228 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,560 Holland isn't concerned about the damage. 229 00:12:50,560 --> 00:12:53,360 He'll harvest the remainder of the field in a few days, once 230 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:57,680 everyone has had a look. Emmett Barris, a psychology 231 00:12:57,680 --> 00:13:00,960 professor at the University of Western University who studies 232 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:05,040 anomalous phenomena, said until academics study crop circles, no 233 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,680 one can discount them, can discount them as hoaxes. 234 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,240 I have no idea what they are, he said. 235 00:13:11,560 --> 00:13:13,360 No one has proven it. It's a hoax. 236 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,360 I think at this point it is really a mystery, which is nice. 237 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,360 Academics aren't likely to study formations, Breast said, because 238 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,880 they would be shunned by the scientific community. 239 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,920 And that's a shame, he said, because phenomena like crop 240 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,880 circles interest the public. Well, sure, they don't want to 241 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:33,360 lose their funding, and you can't maintain your funding once 242 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,200 you've been Deperson as an academic. 243 00:13:35,560 --> 00:13:38,400 Now the next article here is from August 21st, 2003. 244 00:13:38,680 --> 00:13:43,240 It says crop circle the real deal, says researcher of event. 245 00:13:43,560 --> 00:13:46,960 This is by Scott Hilgendorf. There are crop circles that are 246 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,080 hoaxes and legitimate crop circles that defy explanation 247 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,720 and remain a mystery as to their formations. 248 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,280 There are crop circles that are hoaxes and legitimate crop 249 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,240 circles that defy explanation and remain a mystery as to their 250 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,240 formation. Their formation appearing at 251 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,080 Lawrence Holland's wheat field last week is the real thing, 252 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,520 said a specialist who came to the field August 13th to 253 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:11,240 investigate. The wheat was bent over bearing 254 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:15,760 ring shaped markings suggesting a heat source, a common 255 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:20,080 attribute of legitimate crop circles, said Joanna Emery of 256 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,320 the Canadian Crop Circle Research Network. 257 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,040 So these things were bent over by some kind of heat source 258 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,680 because we see that all the time in these crop circles, at least 259 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,240 the ones that are real. The organization she works for 260 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,480 investigates and documents crop circles, determining which are 261 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:37,400 hoaxes deliberately made by someone and those which are real 262 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,200 and remain unexplained as to their formation. 263 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,320 While the source of crop circles remains a mystery, little 264 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,840 scientific research has done. Thousands of the formations have 265 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:48,680 appeared around the world in the past month. 266 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,400 There have been circles appearing in Hensel and Brussels 267 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:55,160 area and in Huron County, and now one in Hollands Field in 268 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,920 Erin Lane and Wally Rd. Holland has farmed there for 55 269 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,640 years and has never seen anything like it. 270 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,120 It was discovered last Tuesday while the wheat was being 271 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,840 harvested, and Holland left the area around the circles 272 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,040 untouched to give the investigators and spectators a 273 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:15,000 chance to check it out. One circle in the field is 21 274 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,720 meters around. So what about 65 feet connected 275 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:21,760 by an arrow? 18 an 18 meter path that leads 276 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:25,040 into a second, smaller circle that measures 13 meters. 277 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:30,120 Some theories say crop circles have are formed by UFOs, but 278 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,840 Holland doesn't believe that. He said it's difficult to break 279 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,720 wheat stocks with anything but machinery and can't explain how 280 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:41,280 they could have been laid down and matted in a perfect circle. 281 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,800 Whatever laid the wheat down did a beautiful job. 282 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,920 It's just like a mat, a perfect mat, he said. 283 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:53,320 He speculates A whirlwind, a naturally occurring wind pattern 284 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,120 farmers are familiar with, could cause such a phenomena. 285 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,360 It's not the case of spirits for kids, said Holland. 286 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,080 The circles attracted a steady flow of spectators last week, 287 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:06,560 wearing a path into the field to be able to stand in the circles 288 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,760 and check them out. Calls also came to the Hall 289 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,880 household, including one from a man in eastern Elgin County who 290 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,960 attested to seeing UFOs in Elgin County and was certain their 291 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,840 formation was caused by one. Most calls were from media or 292 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,720 family and friends. People visiting had different 293 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:29,040 theories, but also leaned toward not really understanding what 294 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,400 could cause information. Whatever causes them, Emery said 295 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,040 the walls town circles were not a hoax. 296 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,160 Yeah, he's right. I mean, these things, they just 297 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,160 weren't locked over by foot. It had to be some kind of 298 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:41,800 machinery. There's some pictures here, 299 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,200 these original photographs. It looks like he was taken at 300 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,080 the Lawrence Holland wheat fields and you can very much 301 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,400 just see how these things are just laid over flat there. 302 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,360 Then there's some other articles on here that are unrelated, but 303 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,000 it just goes to show that these these crop circles have been 304 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,040 around for a while. You know, these things go core 305 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,680 back into the Middle Ages. At that time, a lot of folks 306 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:01,560 thought that it was a devil that was putting them down. 307 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,280 Hard to say. I'll finish up with this site 308 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:09,240 here from crop circle to quest. And it looks like what someone's 309 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,400 done here is they've listed a bunch of these crop circle 310 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,040 reports kind of in the same way you would a UFO report. 311 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,640 Just kind of short, sweet, to the point, but they're still 312 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,200 interesting. The first one they have here, it 313 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,440 says crop circle formation, Strathcona County, Alberta, 314 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,560 Canada, August 2012 report by Judy. 315 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:29,600 Aren't crop circle wide? Shot in Stracona County, east of 316 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,720 Edmonton, AB. The farmer had recently moved 317 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:34,200 his horses to a different pasture. 318 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,720 On August 9th, 2012, on a routine check to his new 319 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,520 pasture, the odd circle was discovered. 320 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,440 It was a large ring of dry brown plants, all flattened in a 321 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,160 clockwise circle. There had been many summer 322 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,160 storms passed through the area in recent weeks. 323 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,880 Was this a phenomena caused by a tornado, whirlwind, hailstorm, 324 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,920 or something different? The ring measured about 92 feet 325 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,600 on the long axis and 80 feet on the short axis. 326 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,720 The width of the ring varied from 5 to 8 feet. 327 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:05,920 The long NS axis of the ellipse aligned with the magnetic north 328 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,520 on my compass, which is about 18° E of polar N. 329 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,440 The plants were flattened at a clockwise direction. 330 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,920 The ring encircled a wet area and some small pools as there 331 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:18,600 had been frequent rings in the area. 332 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,160 The ground was soft and damp. The center pool and reeds 333 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,120 appeared undisturbed. There were no animal hoof prints 334 00:18:25,120 --> 00:18:27,480 or or human footprints in the ring. 335 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,680 There were no fresh ATV tracks in the pasture. 336 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,400 The circle was almost a half a mile from the nearest public Rd. 337 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,760 as is hidden in public view by thick popular forest. 338 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,120 A wet and red trail on private land is not accessible by 339 00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:44,480 passenger vehicle. The owners use an ATV to check 340 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,240 on the animals. Adjoining properties do not 341 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:51,520 offer close Rd. access. My husband and I visited the 342 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,440 circle on August 18th, 9 days after it had been discovered. 343 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:59,200 The pasture vegetation was thick fescuse grass and Clover with a 344 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,920 few weeds. Plant recovery showed evidence 345 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,800 of three or four separate but overlapping narrower tracks with 346 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,240 the largest ring. Leaves had been flattened where 347 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,840 and we're still dead, but new leaves had started to shoot out 348 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,280 from the roots along the edge of the rings. 349 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,440 The plants at the at the midlines of the inner rings were 350 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:22,200 browner, as if they had been more severely affected by 351 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:26,760 whatever Asia had flattened the plants, both grasses and broad 352 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,840 leaf plants at the edge of the rings or sending out new leaves. 353 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,200 There was no evidence of plant deformity as they might be 354 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:35,920 expected if a herbicide had been used. 355 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:40,120 On our August 18th visit we noticed a partial loop of bent 356 00:19:40,120 --> 00:19:42,720 but not fully flattened grass in the middle of the ring, 357 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,520 indicated by the light green line of the diagram. 358 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,400 It started in the wet center and looped to the West edge of the 359 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,000 ring. Again, there was no evidence it 360 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:53,800 had been flattened by animals or humans. 361 00:19:54,120 --> 00:19:57,240 The landowner had not seen the loop upon first discovery. 362 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,760 At the request of the land owner, I will not be disclosing 363 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:02,680 the location of this crop formation. 364 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,560 They're just all over the place. It's just it's it's just and why 365 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,000 would someone would someone want to go out here in the middle of 366 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,080 nowhere like that and and do this. 367 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,040 We'll do a couple more here. Here's one here. 368 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,720 It says red deer crop circle formation Red deer AB Canada 369 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,280 discovered September 16th 2001 reported by Joni aren't. 370 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,560 Seven circles in mature red wheat found by the farmer on 371 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,960 Sunday, September September 16th while he was harvesting. 372 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,280 The formation was not in the field September 1st when the 373 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,520 field was sprayed with the with the the second with the 374 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,720 desiccant. There is a report that the 375 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,440 formation was spotted from the air on Sunday, September 2nd. 376 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,400 If that is so, then the formation was made during the 377 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:48,080 night of Saturday, September 1st to Sunday, September 2nd. 378 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,840 Total width deformation is 422 feet. 379 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,640 I visited on Tuesday, September 18th. 380 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,680 The crop was fully ripe and plants were very dry and 381 00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,880 brittle. Many people had already walked 382 00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:03,000 through the formation. So this thing is getting a lot 383 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,280 of attention, but they're still out here in the middle of 384 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:06,880 nowhere. We'll do two more here and we'll 385 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,280 wrap up. This is from it says Drayton 386 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:13,040 Valley Crop Circle formation, August 18th, 2001. 387 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,120 A Juni art. It says this two circle 388 00:21:16,120 --> 00:21:19,480 formation in green oats was discovered by farmer by the 389 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,400 farmer on Saturday, August 18th while swathing. 390 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,600 The location is near the junction of Hwy. 39 and 759. 391 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:30,480 This is about 65 miles southwest of Edmonton, AB, Alberta. 392 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:36,280 The larger circle is slightly elliptical with diameters of 41 393 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,840 1/2 to 45 feet. The total length of formation is 394 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,520 88 feet. There is a counterclockwise 395 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:47,200 spiral lay in both circles. Both spiral central worlds are 396 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,720 not on the geometric centers. When first found, the lay crop 397 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,720 was very flat and neat and uniformly spiral. 398 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,080 We visited the formation on August 26th, 8 days after its 399 00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,160 discovery, between the standing and laid crops. 400 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,160 The edges between the standing and inlaid crops are crisp. 401 00:22:04,360 --> 00:22:08,480 Plants are either bent over hard at the soil level or completely 402 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,680 upright. All plants are bent over very 403 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,360 firmly at ground level. However, the stems were not 404 00:22:13,360 --> 00:22:16,240 crimped or broken and the plants continue growing. 405 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,880 There is an appearance of bundling which is commonly seen 406 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,520 in crop circles with spiral lay. Wow. 407 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,680 It says the stem nodes in formation plants were swollen. 408 00:22:28,120 --> 00:22:30,280 They didn't notice. We didn't notice any blown out 409 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,320 or stretched stem nodes on the field. 410 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:36,400 However, upon examination, the samples we brought home, we 411 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,480 found marked differences between the crop formation and the 412 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,960 standing plants. It says what is not normal plant 413 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,640 response is that only a small percentage of the plants have 414 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:49,000 begun growing upwards and a normal phototropic response as a 415 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,560 show. In this photo, the majority of 416 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,760 plants one week after the event was discovered were still green 417 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,560 and growing, but remained horizontal. 418 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,360 Wow. This is the center of these, of 419 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,360 A roll of some small of a small circle. 420 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,600 There was a bare spot about four inches in diameter in the circle 421 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,720 of each circle, but no evidence of the soil had been disturbed. 422 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,160 The bare spot is surprising considering the dense growth 423 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,920 everywhere else. So you have this thick growth of 424 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,840 oats, whatever, and when this thing, whatever it is, creates 425 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,640 this crop circle, it's drilling a little hole right in the 426 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,640 middle of the circles. It's not something I would 427 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:28,120 expect to happen if these things were fate. 428 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,800 It says the oak crop was seeded on rich loom soil with an air 429 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,160 cedar and with a nurse crop of Clover hay. 430 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:39,080 It is very evenly and densely grown at the ground level. 431 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,520 The field was not sprayed, so there are no tractor tracks. 432 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,680 No vehicles had entered the field after a seeding to the 433 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,160 time of swatting. It's impossible for any person 434 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,760 to walk through this crop without crushing plants and 435 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,240 leaving an obvious trail. The farmers checked very 436 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,160 carefully to find tracks in the field or between the circles, 437 00:23:57,360 --> 00:24:00,080 but there were none. One of the farmers was up very 438 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,640 late the evening before the formation was discovered, 439 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:06,160 tending A fussy baby. She spent some time outdoors on 440 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,800 her deck. It was a warm, calm, dry night. 441 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,160 She says if there had been trespassers in the field, which 442 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,400 is visible from the house, she would have heard or noticed 443 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:16,480 them. Noticed something. 444 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,360 None of the horses, dogs, donkeys or llamas in the 445 00:24:19,360 --> 00:24:22,000 immediate vicinity showed any signs of upset during the night. 446 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,480 Because of a very dry spring and long stretches of rainless 447 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,400 weather, grasshoppers have become a problem in many areas 448 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,600 of border this year. I didn't get a photo of one of 449 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,880 the thousands of live hopping ones, but this shell left by a 450 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:38,840 multi grasshopper is a reminder of the weather and the insect 451 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,880 infestation. No evidence there whatsoever. 452 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,120 That was man made just out in the middle of nowhere. 453 00:24:44,360 --> 00:24:48,560 And we'll do this last one here, it says Neilberg, Saskatchewan, 454 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,240 Canada. The Neilberg formation was 455 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:55,080 discovered September 3rd, 1999 in a wheat field when the field 456 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,920 was being swathed. It wasn't there on August 23rd 457 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:02,600 when the field was sprayed on a A central circle 45 feet in 458 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:06,920 diameter is flanked by three arcing arms of smaller circles. 459 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:11,040 There are 11 circles in all. The total size of the formation 460 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,720 is about 185 feet north to South. 461 00:25:14,120 --> 00:25:17,040 I've now revised diagrams based on our measurements and an 462 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,840 aerial photo and it has a pictures of them here. 463 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,640 It talks a little bit about how this thing is made, goes on it 464 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,200 says. My husband Mike Arndt and I 465 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,760 drove out to Neil Berg from Edmonton, AB on on Sunday, 466 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,520 September 5th. The farmer Connelly met us at 467 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,640 the formation and allowed us to take pictures and measurements 468 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,800 of the circle diameters. The stocks were bent over right 469 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,640 at the ground regardless of the roughness of the soil. 470 00:25:41,120 --> 00:25:44,000 A few stocks and some of the circles had apparently been left 471 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,280 standing and had been cut by the swather. 472 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,840 Because the stocks were still quite flexible, the swather rode 473 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,960 over the circles, leaving the stocks beautifully laid and 474 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,640 undisturbed. We can't judge the authenticity 475 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,280 of this formation, but we can say this. 476 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,880 It was consistently neat. There were no signs of breakage 477 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,160 of the stems. Now, how do you, how do you fold 478 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,960 these stems over like that with a board or something without 479 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,080 breaking a single one? I think, I think that kind of 480 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,040 shows a, a pattern that's happening here. 481 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,800 If people were really seeking attention with these things, it 482 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,560 seems like they would do them closer to a population base 483 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:19,640 where people could really see them at. 484 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:23,240 But what we're seeing is we're seeing these very intricate 485 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:27,320 patterns being laid down where the the plants themselves aren't 486 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,920 damaged, they're just bent over, where it seems to be heat 487 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,640 applied, where there's differences in the soil before 488 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,360 and after, and where there's difference in say, and 489 00:26:35,360 --> 00:26:39,400 background radiation. All kinds of evidence pointing 490 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,480 that these things, while some are done by some strange 491 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,120 phenomena or entity that we don't understand. 492 00:26:45,120 --> 00:26:47,800 Until next time. This is UFO warning over now.
