1,033-Foot-Long East Field Wheat Formation
"Happened Within 90 Minutes."

Investigators presented video and eyewitness evidence at July 19, 2007, press conference in Coronation Hall, Alton Barnes, Wiltshire, U.K.

...

"We were the first to reach the formation at 4 AM (July 7, 2007) after seeing a very bright flash of light. The wheat circles were raised 6 inches above the ground so when we stepped in, the plants crunched under our feet like we were stepping on delicate crystals."

The croppies are all a twitter.
 
Makes you wonder if the whole thing was planned to make a big splash. These people just happened to be in the right place at the right time. Of course, they didn't actually see anything but a bright flash, but........
the crop formation just formed at about the same time (over 90 minutes)?
Did anybody look ahead of time at the area of formation BEFORE the event?

I think whoever made the circle should come out and get the credit for a job well done. After all, they did it under the noses of some of the greatest minds in the crop circle......well, circle.

Gary King : "On a couple of occasions, I’ve had intuitions about crop circles like you would have before a phone is going to ring. I’ve had intuitions where I’ve gotten up in the morning and driven down to Wiltshire from my home in Wales and been lucky enough to walk into a fresh formation."

A Crop Circle psychic. How utterly useless. Though, no more useless than all the others i guess......
 
I have a book titled "Mysterious Britain" by Janet and Colin Bord. It covers many of the ancient mysteries of the United Kingdom and Ireland. It covers standing stones and stone circles, ancient sites, buildings and stone structures, hill figures, etc. There are also chapters on UFOs and ghosts. But what is telling is the complete lack of any mention of crop circles. Since the book was first published in 1972, does that mean that crop circles are a very recent occurance? Or were they discounted by the authors because they deemed them fraudulent?

We'll probably never know.

Actually, crop circles have been around for thousands of years. In fact, in some accounts, Frodo and Samwise saw a crop circle but the event was cut from later editions of the book because it was running too long. Some say crop circles on the moon pre-date modern man altogether.

Not to mention he threw in the black helicopter. :rolleyes:

Too many classic cons and CT beliefs all rolled into one takes all hope of credibility out of the story. The pictures in the article certainly aren't impressive.
 
Actually, I think the pictures are quite impressive.

If this is an elaborate hoax, the perpetrators have included just sufficient imperfections in the patterns and the way they interact to suggest perhaps some kind of natural cause of the circles.

Man-made crop circle art does exist, that is not a matter of debate. Some of them are quite beautiful and take considerable pre-planning and intricate execution, but to single out natural causes from the synthetic is now virtually impossible, which is a shame.

I have an account here dated August 25th, 1991, which is an extract from a report in the Mail on Sunday (UK) about the experience of Gary and Vivienne Tomlinson who went for an evening stroll. Unfortunately, the location, date and time was not mentioned which was very remiss of the reporter. Anyway here it is:

"...The air was still and humid....We were standing on a narrow footpath at the edge of a cornfield when we saw that the corn on our right was moving. There was a mist hovering above and we heard a high-pitched sound. Then we felt a strong wind pushing us from the side and above. It was forcing down on our heads so that we could hardly stay upright yet my husband's hair was standing on end. It was incredible. Then the whirling air seemed to branch into two and zig-zagged off in the distance. We could still see it like a light mist or fog, shimmering as it moved. As it disappeared we were left standing in the circle with the corn flattened all around us. Everything became very still again and we were left with a tingling feeling. It all happened so quickly it seemed like a split second.....The noise was tremendous, we looked for a helicopter above us, but there was nothing." (Rebecca Tyrrel- reporter)

The article goes on to suggest that this circle was caused by a natural vortex of air created in specific and electrically charged atmospheric conditions.

All seems quite reasonable and plausible to me, but as I said above, now virtually impossible to prove a natural cause from the hoax.
 
It never ceases to amaze me how much energy people are prepared to put into mischief.

Probably very little more energy than you, I, and our fellow members, seem to be prepared to input on this board.

If anyone's wondering about that, [SIZE=-1]Alton Priors, Wiltshire is not far from Salisbury Plain, which is one of the biggest ranges the British Army has. Apache helicopters are hardly a surprising sight, and they tend not to be heavily labelled. If they were hovering overhead then it's highly likely that they spotted the formation and simply wanted a good look, rather than them logging the data for their Sooper Sekrit Crop Circle Recording Masters.[/SIZE]

Let me get this right. These guys sat up all night and when the sun came up and they could see, the crop circle was there.

So proof that it formed in 90 mins is merely that at dawn they could see the field.

There are no shots of the field before the previous sunset showing no crop circle and their definitive proof that no circle was in the field was a totally black frame taken at 1am, that doesn't even show the field?

This is proof?
 
They mention a EMP as "knocking out" the infrared ability of their Sony VX2100 camera, but left the camera and all other electronic devices in working order?
 
Bored am I?

I found the site using google earth. Pretty sure I nailed it fairly closely

But she was right in describing the event as incredible. Not credible it certainly is.

Dust devils(USA), Willy, Willies(Australia), tornadoes(USA & UK), are all forms of natural atmospheric vortexes. Other natural phenomena caused by charged particles are also quite common in certain conditions, a combination of the two therefore are not beyond credibility as your misplaced skepticism in this particular case, is concerned.
