How about that?
Mayan 'apocalypse' crop circle appears at Silbury Hill

A 350ft crop circle of an ancient Mayan symbol, said to be a sign of an impending apocalypse, has appeared next to Silbury Hill in Wiltshire.

The giant pattern - thought to represent a traditional Mayan head-dress - appeared next to the tallest prehistoric man-made mound in Europe last week.

Members of the crop circle community believe the mystic symbol is a signal of the end of the 5,126-year Mayan 'Long Count' calendar on December 21, 2012.

Karen Alexander, a crop circle enthusiast, said: "This is one of the most interesting crop circles I have ever seen. It is definitely a Mayan symbol and we are sure it is linked to the Mayan calendar, which ends in 2012.

Thanks for posting that, uncled. That is so cool!

That one in Ogbourne St. George was awesome! If these crop circles are hoaxes being created by people, they are some darned talented and creative dudes. I would have trouble drawing some of those designs on a sheet of paper, much less stomping them down in a field of wheat.

Retired agronomist suspects crop circles due to aliens or another dimension

By STEVE CAHALAN | [e-mail] lacrossetribune.com | Posted: Thursday, January 13, 2011

Some of the crop circles reported around the world obviously were made by pranksters, a retired University of Wisconsin-River Falls agronomy professor said Wednesday at the Midwest Farm Show at the La Crosse Center. But Lou Greub says aliens or another dimension seem to be the most likely explanation for others.

English Crop Circles ? The History From 1115 AD
Published on January 21, 2011 by Paranominal

www.paranominal.com/unexplained-phenomena/crop-circles/english-crop-circles-the-history-from-1115-ad/

One of the earliest writings on Crop Circles was In 1115 A.D., the Bishop of Winchester wrote of corn flattened by ‘magical storms’.

One late summer’s day in 1678, an English farmer and a poor mower were arguing over the cost of harvesting the farmer’s oat field. Incensed at the mower’s proposed price, the farmer swore that the Devil himself should harvest the crop and stomped off. That night, a strange, bright glow lit up the field and, the next morning, the farmer returned to find round circles where the crop had been ‘neatly mowed by the Devil, or some infernal spirit’. Each crop stalk had apparently been placed with such ‘exactness that it would have taken above an age for any man to perform what he did in that one night’. The event frightened the farmer enough that he subsequently decided to abandon any attempt at harvesting the strange circle.

This description from a woodcut known as the “Mowing Devil or ‘Strange News out of Hartford-shire’” is now widely regarding as the first explicit report of a crop circle. Similar accounts have ‘cropped up’ throughout history leading credence to theories that the crop circle phenomenon is much more than a modern-day fad. While crop circles can occur in any weather, original theories on crop circle formation relate to swirling vortices of ionised air or some other type of natural process similar to ball lighting. Several scientific journals of the nineteenth-century also include references to storms and flattened circles. Another account from 1871 near Plummer’s Hill, in High Wycombe, Bucks, describes two disc-shaped objects with flashing lights hovering over a site where the very next day a circle of bent, flattened grasses was discovered.

Tales of unusual light beams, even UFO’s, are commonplace around crop circles. While some of these strange lights have been captured on film, perhaps more intriguing are the many oral accounts of crop circle activity from the days before airplanes or secret military technology. Between 1900 and 1910, one woman recalled having seen circles on her grandfather’s land near Tilshead, Salisbury Plain. The wheat was apparently ‘flattened so firmly that it could not lifted without springing back down.’ Some crop circle researchers (know as ‘cereologists’ after the Roman goddess of agriculture, Ceres) have even wondered if the famous Salisbury Plain megalith, Stonehenge, was itself built to commemorate the spot where a crop circle once formed.

Did 2010 Crop Circles predict Japans Nuclear Disaster?

One of the current hypotheses of the origin of modern crop formations is that they are being made by time-traveling humans hoping to help us avert certain disasters in our current timeline. This is the working hypothesis of the CIA's crop circle study group according to an informant to Linda Moulton- Howe in 1993.

Wow! is all I can say. I saved this to show friends. thanks auntym

Man... if humans of the future are capable of time-traveling, why don't they just go meet with the president and tell him what he needs to know... or send him a postcard?

Wouldn't that be easier and less open to interpretation?

[Deleted]

Eh..sort of like the theory of two physicists that someone or something from the future is sabotaging the Hadron Collider.

I'm with you Lorelei that it would be easier just to drop someone a note and tell them what you want them to know..maybe there are 'rules' against it and everyone has to guess what they mean.

Wouldn't it be amazing to wake up one morning with every mystery solved?

FIRST SCIENTIFIC PROOF OF BURNING IN
CROP CIRCLE PLANTS

We have heard many reports over the years about possibly "burned" plants in crop formations. However, in every case where these plants have been sent to BLT for examination our consulting analytical chemist has shown (through FT-IR and EDS) that the blackening was actually caused by Ustilago, an opportunistic fungus which feeds on the internal plant stem moisture which is exposed to air when the stems are crushed or broken

British Columbia in 2002. Photo: Laurel Konrad.

But in 2010 seedheads from a Dutch formation which occurred in the early morning hours of August 2nd in a field in-between Hoeven and Oudenbosch have provided scientific proof of actual burning. At the end-point of a "half-ring" or "arc" component of one section of this formation, in the standing plants right at the edge of this area, there were three partially blackened seedheads and an additional plant stem with no seedhead but with a 45 angle cut which was also blackened.

The laboratory report clearly shows that -- in this case -- the blackening is carbon-based and positively due to burning, not to the fungus Ustilago.

An eloquent formation appears in Oil Seed Rape next to Silbury Hill.

This is a favoured field for formations to appear for many a year. A hilltop overlooking the ancient Silbury Hill. We have seen many remarkable formations at this magic location over the years. Although this formation is quite small it has a meaningful and delicate feel to it. Thanks once again to Olivier Morel and Francine's group for photographing and organizing the aerial shots of this lovely formation.

Once again in the presence of Silbury Hill, we have been graced with this eloquent design in Oil Seed Rape. The number Six represents beauty and harmony – or consciousness in its Planetary Aspect: The Sun. Colour: Yellow! Plenty of that at the moment.

Crop circles appearing in Travis County?

AUSTIN, Texas -- Crop circles make you think of science fiction, Hollywood films, and even U.F.O.’s. Now a crop circle has shown up in Travis County near Manor.

One crop circle encompasses five acres of a wheat field at the intersection of FM 973 and Gregg Lane. However, its origin is not mysterious. It is the work of nationally recognized artist Stan Herd.
The wheat field provides a golden landscape. However, the serene setting means hard work for Herd. He is getting his hands dirty to make a masterpiece.

The wheat field is Herd’s canvas, and a weed eater is his paintbrush. Tractors plow the land into broad brushstrokes.

Herd has been creating crop circles for 30 years and calls it “Earthwork.” He digs, plows, and manipulates acres of land to turn it into art. Herd is the son of a farmer.

“I've reconnected with my roots to make art on the land,” Herd said.

Crop circles fascinate the world. They headline Hollywood movies, and mysteriously appear with no explanation in other parts of the world. Herd admits even he does not know how some of them are created.

“I love the fact it's a mystery," Herd said. "I don't know what's going on. Nobody does that kind of work and doesn't take credit for it. I'm just saying.”

Herd's work is no secret. He simply maps out his project on paper, walks the field, and marks it with flags.

“GPS doesn't do much for me. I've got to see it,” Herd said.

Herd is turning the logo for a Belgian Ale called Shock Top into art. A handful of workers are helping Herd on the months-long project. They added limestone and mulch to complete his design.

The project is getting a lot of attention in the Manor community. One man, Thomas Traver, drove to the wheat field to find out what was going on. He lives a half mile from the project, and is now working for Herd. He is between construction jobs, and uses a tractor to plow the field.

“Instead of sitting at home watching soap operas, I'm here working,” Traver said. “I feel like everyone has an artist in them.”

It is difficult to appreciate the collaboration from the ground. KVUE got a sky-high view from above to see the scope of Herd’s work.

Stonehenge Crop Circle 9th May 2010



Uploaded by BZCAPMOOR on May 10, 2010

New Crop Circle near Stonehenge reported 9th of may. Not man-made, see A.Pyrka's field report below
Crop Circle Authority researcher Andrew Pyrka' s field report

It was Sunday 7th of July 1996 when the crop circle makers made a day light formation in the same field, almost 14 years ago !. The makers have returned to this location once again by making a giant 500 foot (exactly in length ) formation, lying close to the A303 but yet you wouldnt know its there.

Directly opposite is Stonehenge which is patrolled by security throughout the night. When we arrived it was still dark and parked close to the perimeter of Stonehenge and without much delay torch light was soon beaming towards us. It is without doubt that these guys were very observant and soon questioned us if we had any intentions of JUMPING , this is a term used by them as frequent jumpers climb over the fence and run towards Stonehenge just to touch the stones. We in turn asked them if they saw or heard anything in the last few nights, they replied that they did not see or hear anything unusual and were unaware of the formation even being there.

The makers once again have chosen a less mature crop but I think we can safely say that position and location plays an important part in their choice of delivering that important message to us all. Whatever the message may be, Im sure it will keep us busy theorizing over the next few months.

The frost covered Canola formation was just so immense that at eye level its very difficult to determine what the actual design may be. Streaming avenues taper from wide to narrow points meeting at the centre circle and never seen in Canola before, an intricate basket weave dominated the formation as we have all seen in wheat back in 2009. Good 80% of the formation, plants are now rising and resuming growth, only days after a force of unexplainable nature touched their bloom. Also it was a delight to see the usual tufts of standing stems with swirling stems bent around the base a term I coined last year as a bouquet .

This formation like many others are precision and flawless creations by master craftsman which there are many who still refuse to accept that such a feat is possible with that dreaded term THE PLANK. I stand my ground to inform you all that the first two formations of this season are perfection in creation and these are creations not done by man!. To finalize this short report once again we felt that watching eyes were with us on the distant horizon, a ball of light appeared on two occasions and in two different locations, at times blazing with brightness which was clearly visible on a bright and sunny morning, an event which was witnessed by 5 other people. Thank you for listening.

New Crop Circle


Truly remarkable new crop formation--don't miss this one!


Thursday, June 2, 2011

This is one of the most extraordinary crop formations ever to appear. It's easy to dismiss as a hoax, much harder to determine how the hoaxers might have gone about creating it. In any case, it is beautiful, awe-inspring and very, very strange.
