1
00:00:00,132 --> 00:00:02,133
Bizarre shapes.

2
00:00:02,133 --> 00:00:07,134
What in the world is making these patterns and why?

3
00:00:07,134 --> 00:00:09,135
Intricate designs.

4
00:00:09,135 --> 00:00:16,137
Scientists are now saying that this geometry is the secret keys to the higher dimensions.

5
00:00:16,137 --> 00:00:21,138
And a mysterious method that defies explanation.

6
00:00:21,138 --> 00:00:25,139
Everyone was scratching their heads and saying, what's going on here?

7
00:00:26,139 --> 00:00:32,141
Are the patterns appearing on fields across the globe part of an elaborate hoax?

8
00:00:32,141 --> 00:00:37,142
Or could there really be an other worldly connection?

9
00:00:37,142 --> 00:00:45,145
These are messages from elsewhere and elsewhere in my opinion means of extraterrestrial origin.

10
00:00:46,145 --> 00:00:55,148
Since the dawn of civilization, mankind has credited its origins to gods and other visitors from the stars.

11
00:00:55,148 --> 00:00:58,148
What if it were true?

12
00:00:58,148 --> 00:01:04,150
Did extraterrestrial beings really help to shape our history?

13
00:01:04,150 --> 00:01:11,152
And if so, could they really be communicating using circles from the sky?

14
00:01:15,153 --> 00:01:37,199
Federationshaped

15
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,661
Turin, Italy

16
00:01:42,661 --> 00:01:49,663
pilot Silvio Cerrodo reports that while flying over a wheat

17
00:01:49,663 --> 00:01:53,664
field directly in the flight path of the local airport,

18
00:01:53,664 --> 00:01:57,665
he spotted a mysterious design seemingly pressed into the

19
00:01:57,665 --> 00:02:03,667
crop. Investigators are baffled as to how the design could have

20
00:02:03,667 --> 00:02:08,668
been created without any detection in such a high traffic area.

21
00:02:08,668 --> 00:02:13,670
To date, it remains a mystery, but it is only one of the

22
00:02:13,670 --> 00:02:17,671
latest examples in a strange phenomenon that has been going

23
00:02:17,671 --> 00:02:23,673
on for decades and possibly much, much longer.

24
00:02:23,673 --> 00:02:28,674
Over 10,000 crop formations have been found worldwide.

25
00:02:28,674 --> 00:02:32,675
They have been reported in over 50 different countries and on

26
00:02:32,675 --> 00:02:36,676
nearly every continent on Earth.

27
00:02:36,676 --> 00:02:41,678
Commonly known as crop circles, the formations are designs

28
00:02:41,678 --> 00:02:47,679
pressed down into fields. They range from small circles to

29
00:02:47,679 --> 00:02:52,681
elaborate pictograms hundreds of feet across.

30
00:02:52,681 --> 00:02:56,682
They have been found in various crops, including wheat,

31
00:02:56,682 --> 00:03:01,683
barley, oil seed rape, and corn.

32
00:03:01,683 --> 00:03:08,685
And they've been making worldwide headlines since the mid-1960s.

33
00:03:08,685 --> 00:03:14,687
One of the first in 1966, it was Tully Queensland, Australia.

34
00:03:14,687 --> 00:03:19,688
A farmer heard a buzzing sound and literally saw this big

35
00:03:19,688 --> 00:03:24,690
round maybe 30 feet diameter craft disc rising up out of what

36
00:03:24,690 --> 00:03:28,691
essentially was marshy, reedy ground.

37
00:03:28,691 --> 00:03:34,693
And it goes up and disappears and left behind the circle.

38
00:03:34,693 --> 00:03:37,693
Beginning in Tully, Australia, there seems to be a kind of a

39
00:03:37,693 --> 00:03:40,694
smattering of these circular impressions, relatively simple,

40
00:03:40,694 --> 00:03:43,695
but in several locations around the world.

41
00:03:43,695 --> 00:03:48,697
1960s, 70s, 80s, liberal sprinkling of circles.

42
00:03:48,697 --> 00:03:56,699
1990 bang and the whole thing goes planet-wide.

43
00:03:56,699 --> 00:04:02,701
By 1991, over 2,500 formations had been reported across 23

44
00:04:02,701 --> 00:04:05,701
different countries.

45
00:04:05,701 --> 00:04:10,703
As an investigative reporter who began about three decades ago

46
00:04:10,703 --> 00:04:13,704
trying to get to the bottom of this phenomenon, I remember

47
00:04:13,704 --> 00:04:18,705
getting these photographs and reading that there were no

48
00:04:18,705 --> 00:04:24,707
footprints. No one was walking around because if they had,

49
00:04:24,707 --> 00:04:28,708
we would have seen broken stocks.

50
00:04:28,708 --> 00:04:31,709
Everybody was raising this question, what in the world is

51
00:04:31,709 --> 00:04:35,710
making these patterns and why?

52
00:04:35,710 --> 00:04:38,711
They had scientists and meteorologists in the fields and

53
00:04:38,711 --> 00:04:42,712
it was really fascinating. People really got into it in a big,

54
00:04:42,712 --> 00:04:45,713
big way.

55
00:04:45,713 --> 00:04:49,714
Nobody knew what to make of this.

56
00:04:49,714 --> 00:04:53,715
Politicians, scientists, the UFO community, everyone was

57
00:04:53,715 --> 00:04:56,716
scratching their heads and saying, what's going on here?

58
00:04:56,716 --> 00:04:58,716
What is this? Some people thought that it was

59
00:04:58,716 --> 00:05:02,718
extraterrestrial. Others thought it was a meteorological

60
00:05:02,718 --> 00:05:06,719
phenomenon of some sort. And other people said, well,

61
00:05:06,719 --> 00:05:12,720
it must be hoax.

62
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:17,722
On September 9th, 1991, two retirees from the English

63
00:05:17,722 --> 00:05:22,723
countryside, Doug Bauer and Dave Chorley, came forward with

64
00:05:22,723 --> 00:05:26,724
an admission that they were behind the crop formations.

65
00:05:26,724 --> 00:05:30,725
Using nothing more than a board and strings, the hoaxers

66
00:05:30,725 --> 00:05:34,727
demonstrated their technique for pressing down the crop to

67
00:05:34,727 --> 00:05:37,727
form a design.

68
00:05:37,727 --> 00:05:41,729
I won't forget when the news came that there were these two

69
00:05:41,729 --> 00:05:46,730
men saying they were responsible for the crop formations.

70
00:05:46,730 --> 00:05:50,731
Immediately, because of all the work that I have been doing

71
00:05:50,731 --> 00:05:55,732
was, well, they weren't traveling to 23 nations.

72
00:05:55,732 --> 00:05:59,734
Number one. Number two, they were off-kilter.

73
00:05:59,734 --> 00:06:03,735
They were not geometric. And for those of us who have been

74
00:06:03,735 --> 00:06:09,736
in real crop formations, there's just no comparison.

75
00:06:09,736 --> 00:06:12,737
Doug and Dave, the men that conned the world, that was the

76
00:06:12,737 --> 00:06:15,738
headline in our local newspaper here. And these two men came

77
00:06:15,738 --> 00:06:18,739
forward and said, we've done it all. We've made all the crop

78
00:06:18,739 --> 00:06:22,740
circles since 1976, everything.

79
00:06:22,740 --> 00:06:27,742
Most people pretty much swallowed that hook line and sinker.

80
00:06:27,742 --> 00:06:30,742
There are some theories that Doug and Dave were just

81
00:06:30,742 --> 00:06:36,744
government stooges. That the plan was to bring the whole

82
00:06:36,744 --> 00:06:40,745
subject into disrepute, to discredit it, and to make the

83
00:06:40,745 --> 00:06:43,746
media just go away.

84
00:06:43,746 --> 00:06:47,747
But could it be that there is more to the crop circle phenomenon

85
00:06:47,747 --> 00:06:51,748
than a modern-day hoax orchestrated by pranksters?

86
00:06:51,748 --> 00:06:57,750
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and suggest that crop

87
00:06:57,750 --> 00:07:02,751
formations are not, in fact, a modern phenomenon at all,

88
00:07:02,751 --> 00:07:06,753
but can be traced back hundreds of years.

89
00:07:06,753 --> 00:07:12,754
There's a report from the year 815 of the Bishop of Leone,

90
00:07:12,754 --> 00:07:16,755
a warning notifying another priest who was going to take

91
00:07:16,755 --> 00:07:20,757
over his parish, that the locals are involved in something

92
00:07:20,757 --> 00:07:24,758
he considers devil worship.

93
00:07:24,758 --> 00:07:28,759
They're gathering seeds in a flattened circle of the crops

94
00:07:28,759 --> 00:07:33,760
and using them in fertility rituals.

95
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:38,762
There are some very strange accounts in the 1600s.

96
00:07:38,762 --> 00:07:42,763
One of the original scientists, Dr. Robert Plott,

97
00:07:42,763 --> 00:07:47,764
was seeing crop circles appearing on his land in Staffordshire,

98
00:07:47,764 --> 00:07:53,766
England, and he actually drew diagrams of what he was seeing.

99
00:07:53,766 --> 00:07:58,767
We also have the infamous legend in the 1600s of the so-called

100
00:07:58,767 --> 00:08:01,768
mowing devil.

101
00:08:01,768 --> 00:08:07,770
One of the first crop circles ever reported was a mowing devil

102
00:08:07,770 --> 00:08:11,771
that was in England going through the wheat fields.

103
00:08:11,771 --> 00:08:16,772
There's actually a woodcut that shows what, for all intents and purposes,

104
00:08:16,772 --> 00:08:21,774
looks like a crop circle, but has this black creature that just

105
00:08:21,774 --> 00:08:26,775
runs around with the horns, so the idea was in full clore that

106
00:08:26,775 --> 00:08:31,777
something or someone laid down this formation in a wheat field,

107
00:08:31,777 --> 00:08:36,778
and that goes back all the way to 1678.

108
00:08:36,778 --> 00:08:40,779
Some even have suggested that there may be a description of a

109
00:08:40,779 --> 00:08:44,780
crop circle in the Dead Sea Scrolls.

110
00:08:44,780 --> 00:08:48,781
In the Dead Sea Scrolls is a cryptic reference to a light

111
00:08:48,781 --> 00:08:52,783
that leaves a mark on the ground.

112
00:08:52,783 --> 00:08:56,784
Interpreters ask, is it possible that the marks on the land,

113
00:08:56,784 --> 00:09:03,786
specifically on the barley and the lentil, are crop circles?

114
00:09:03,786 --> 00:09:07,787
Is it possible that crop circles have appeared for hundreds,

115
00:09:07,787 --> 00:09:11,788
if not thousands of years?

116
00:09:11,788 --> 00:09:15,789
And if so, could it be that while some of these formations

117
00:09:15,789 --> 00:09:20,790
have been exposed as hoaxes, many others are connected to other

118
00:09:20,790 --> 00:09:25,792
worldly beings? Perhaps further clues can be found by putting

119
00:09:25,792 --> 00:09:30,793
a man-made crop formation to the test.

120
00:09:37,795 --> 00:09:41,796
Wiltshire, England.

121
00:09:41,796 --> 00:09:46,798
This sleepy countryside, just over 100 miles west of London,

122
00:09:46,798 --> 00:09:53,800
is considered ground zero for the crop circle phenomenon.

123
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,801
It is also home to many mysterious ancient sites,

124
00:09:57,801 --> 00:10:03,803
including Stonehenge, Avebury, Silbury Hill,

125
00:10:03,803 --> 00:10:07,804
and West Cannon Longbarrow.

126
00:10:07,804 --> 00:10:11,805
One could quite reasonably easily make the connection that these

127
00:10:11,805 --> 00:10:15,806
crop circles are happening in these places because these places

128
00:10:15,806 --> 00:10:19,807
are markings with certain energetic corridors or crossover points

129
00:10:19,807 --> 00:10:23,808
or very special places that were used by people in the past

130
00:10:23,808 --> 00:10:27,809
for presumably metaphysical reasons, meditating, praying, ritual,

131
00:10:27,809 --> 00:10:30,810
or whatever.

132
00:10:30,810 --> 00:10:34,811
Today, ancient astronaut theorist and explorer,

133
00:10:34,811 --> 00:10:38,812
Georgios Sucalos, is in Wiltshire to meet up with three men

134
00:10:38,812 --> 00:10:42,814
who have a unique perspective on crop formations.

135
00:10:42,814 --> 00:10:46,815
Georgio, John?

136
00:10:46,815 --> 00:10:50,816
John Lumberg, Rob Irving, and William Russell

137
00:10:50,816 --> 00:10:55,817
have over two decades of experience creating artistic designs

138
00:10:55,817 --> 00:10:58,818
in crops.

139
00:10:58,818 --> 00:11:01,819
Thanks very much for meeting me out here.

140
00:11:01,819 --> 00:11:05,820
Georgio will challenge them to recreate a simple formation

141
00:11:05,820 --> 00:11:12,822
that many crop circle investigators suggest cannot be perfectly reproduced.

142
00:11:12,822 --> 00:11:19,824
In 2005, overnight, the golden ball formation was created.

143
00:11:19,824 --> 00:11:21,825
This is what it looks like right here.

144
00:11:21,825 --> 00:11:24,825
You might be familiar with this one.

145
00:11:24,825 --> 00:11:26,826
Got the different circles.

146
00:11:26,826 --> 00:11:28,827
96 feet in diameter.

147
00:11:28,827 --> 00:11:31,827
So it's not small, it's fairly large.

148
00:11:31,827 --> 00:11:37,829
And I was wondering if you could recreate this.

149
00:11:39,830 --> 00:11:41,830
We can certainly try, yeah.

150
00:11:41,830 --> 00:11:45,831
Now this was done overnight, so the most you'll have is about five to seven hours.

151
00:11:45,831 --> 00:11:47,832
And you'll be using these boards?

152
00:11:47,832 --> 00:11:52,833
Yeah, this is called a stork slumper, which is the tool that we use for flattening the crop.

153
00:11:52,833 --> 00:11:54,834
All right, well, shall we get started?

154
00:11:54,834 --> 00:11:57,835
Sure. Okay, let's do it.

155
00:11:57,835 --> 00:12:00,836
So you're starting on the range.

156
00:12:00,836 --> 00:12:07,838
John Lumberg and his team begin by measuring out the design using a tape measure.

157
00:12:07,838 --> 00:12:08,838
This one here.

158
00:12:08,838 --> 00:12:13,839
After determining where to place the edges, they use their wooden stock stoppers

159
00:12:13,839 --> 00:12:19,841
to shuffle their way across the upright stems to create the desired pattern.

160
00:12:19,841 --> 00:12:21,842
Keep going.

161
00:12:24,842 --> 00:12:42,848
The team is able to complete the challenge within the allotted time.

162
00:12:42,848 --> 00:12:44,848
Well, that was quick.

163
00:12:44,848 --> 00:12:45,848
Pretty good, huh?

164
00:12:45,848 --> 00:12:46,849
Really good stuff.

165
00:12:46,849 --> 00:12:47,849
All right.

166
00:12:47,849 --> 00:12:48,849
Thanks.

167
00:12:48,849 --> 00:12:52,850
So did you guys encounter any problems or any challenges?

168
00:12:52,850 --> 00:12:57,852
The only problem is the crop is a bit kind of tangly, but I'm happy with it.

169
00:12:57,852 --> 00:13:03,853
I think it should look great from here.

170
00:13:03,853 --> 00:13:04,854
Some more altitude.

171
00:13:04,854 --> 00:13:05,854
Keep going.

172
00:13:05,854 --> 00:13:06,854
Carry on, carry on.

173
00:13:06,854 --> 00:13:11,856
In order to get a side-by-side comparison of the designs,

174
00:13:11,856 --> 00:13:16,857
Giorgio enlists the assistance of a local drone team.

175
00:13:16,857 --> 00:13:20,858
They send a camera up over the field.

176
00:13:20,858 --> 00:13:25,860
Climb a bit and hold there.

177
00:13:25,860 --> 00:13:28,861
Oh, wow.

178
00:13:28,861 --> 00:13:31,861
I mean, it's a really nice recreation.

179
00:13:31,861 --> 00:13:34,862
There's no question about it.

180
00:13:34,862 --> 00:13:35,862
Pretty identical.

181
00:13:35,862 --> 00:13:36,863
Yeah.

182
00:13:36,863 --> 00:13:39,864
Really impressive.

183
00:13:39,864 --> 00:13:45,865
While the recreation of the Golden Ball Hill Formation looks very similar to the original

184
00:13:45,865 --> 00:13:49,866
from the air,

185
00:13:49,866 --> 00:13:54,868
Crop Circle researchers suggest that what made the formation truly unique

186
00:13:54,868 --> 00:13:58,869
was not how it appeared from above,

187
00:13:58,869 --> 00:14:07,872
but how it appeared on the ground.

188
00:14:07,872 --> 00:14:10,872
So to examine the recreation up close,

189
00:14:10,872 --> 00:14:15,874
Giorgio meets up with Crop Circle investigator Charles Mallet.

190
00:14:15,874 --> 00:14:16,874
Hi, Charles.

191
00:14:16,874 --> 00:14:17,874
Hey, Giorgio.

192
00:14:17,874 --> 00:14:18,875
Pleasure to meet you.

193
00:14:18,875 --> 00:14:19,875
How are you?

194
00:14:19,875 --> 00:14:20,875
You good?

195
00:14:20,875 --> 00:14:21,875
Come to the center here.

196
00:14:21,875 --> 00:14:27,877
Mallet has been researching the Crop Circle phenomenon since the 1990s

197
00:14:27,877 --> 00:14:32,879
and was one of the first investigators on the ground of the Golden Ball Hill pattern

198
00:14:32,879 --> 00:14:36,880
when it appeared in 2005.

199
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:41,881
What are the telltale signs that leads you to believe that something is real or man-made

200
00:14:41,881 --> 00:14:43,882
or real, whatever that means?

201
00:14:43,882 --> 00:14:47,883
I think we have to get over the notion that people can't make shapes and fields.

202
00:14:47,883 --> 00:14:49,883
They can make really impressive shapes and fields.

203
00:14:49,883 --> 00:14:53,885
So we have to get down there and look at the physical evidence before we start taking it further.

204
00:14:53,885 --> 00:14:57,886
When I stand in this formation, I look at the carpet of flowers across the top of these plants,

205
00:14:57,886 --> 00:14:59,886
and then I look on the ground.

206
00:14:59,886 --> 00:15:03,887
I see two separate situations, undamaged and damaged.

207
00:15:03,887 --> 00:15:08,889
Because they use a physical device and its men stepping with clanks of wood,

208
00:15:08,889 --> 00:15:11,890
so it's crush, crush, crush, and crush,

209
00:15:11,890 --> 00:15:14,890
and it produces a very clear pattern of damage.

210
00:15:14,890 --> 00:15:17,891
So a lot of the flowers have just been wiped off.

211
00:15:17,891 --> 00:15:23,893
And then if we were able to maybe come and look right down into the detail,

212
00:15:23,893 --> 00:15:28,894
we need to just look at some stems here.

213
00:15:28,894 --> 00:15:33,896
Here's a good example of what happens to oil seed rape plants

214
00:15:33,896 --> 00:15:35,896
when they're physically pushed to the ground.

215
00:15:35,896 --> 00:15:39,898
Huge, ugly, pink, very mechanical.

216
00:15:39,898 --> 00:15:43,899
Down here there's bruising and just scraping down the stems.

217
00:15:44,899 --> 00:15:51,901
What you're suggesting or what you're telling me is that in a non-man-made scenario,

218
00:15:51,901 --> 00:15:53,902
the stalks would not be broken like this.

219
00:15:53,902 --> 00:15:55,902
Absolutely.

220
00:15:58,903 --> 00:16:01,904
Can you show me some of those pictures that you brought to see the comparison?

221
00:16:01,904 --> 00:16:03,904
Yeah, sure.

222
00:16:03,904 --> 00:16:08,906
These are from Taken from the original 2005 formation here.

223
00:16:09,906 --> 00:16:12,907
This is what I would expect to see in a real crop circle.

224
00:16:14,907 --> 00:16:21,909
Incredibly, none of the flower heads on the original 2005 Golden Ball Hill formation

225
00:16:21,909 --> 00:16:24,910
were damaged or destroyed.

226
00:16:24,910 --> 00:16:30,912
And the seamless lay of flowers suggests that it was not mechanically produced

227
00:16:30,912 --> 00:16:33,913
using boards and shuffling over the stalks.

228
00:16:34,913 --> 00:16:40,915
In the original 2005 formation, there's nothing physical, nothing local,

229
00:16:40,915 --> 00:16:42,915
nothing mechanical made this circle.

230
00:16:42,915 --> 00:16:45,916
That really opens the door to so many possibilities.

231
00:16:45,916 --> 00:16:49,917
And the honest answer is we do not know where these circles are coming from, the real ones.

232
00:16:51,918 --> 00:16:56,919
If the Golden Ball Hill formation was not made with boards,

233
00:16:56,919 --> 00:16:58,920
then how was it created?

234
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:00,920
And by whom?

235
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:09,923
Perhaps further clues can be found by examining the intriguing evidence left behind at the scene.

236
00:17:30,929 --> 00:17:37,931
The BLT team performed many different tests from simple inspection under a microscope,

237
00:17:37,931 --> 00:17:42,932
chemical analysis of the soils and the plants, germination tests,

238
00:17:42,932 --> 00:17:45,933
and note length measurements, and so on.

239
00:17:45,933 --> 00:17:50,935
They produced many, many lab reports and a couple of scientific papers as well

240
00:17:50,935 --> 00:17:53,935
on which they explained what they found.

241
00:17:53,935 --> 00:17:58,937
We found that there are two scientifically documented all of the samples

242
00:17:58,937 --> 00:18:02,938
that are scientifically documented all over the world.

243
00:18:02,938 --> 00:18:06,939
Changes. The first is the apical node elongation.

244
00:18:06,939 --> 00:18:10,940
Most crops have four or even five nodes,

245
00:18:10,940 --> 00:18:15,942
and they are the knuckle-like protrusions that are found along the plant stem,

246
00:18:15,942 --> 00:18:17,942
all the way down to the ground.

247
00:18:17,942 --> 00:18:22,944
The apical node is the very first node beneath the seed head.

248
00:18:23,944 --> 00:18:27,945
And that node becomes elongated, stretched,

249
00:18:27,945 --> 00:18:31,946
as compared to the control nodes in the rest of the field.

250
00:18:31,946 --> 00:18:41,949
Now, the node elongation can rearrange actually between, say, 45% and over 200% elongation.

251
00:18:41,949 --> 00:18:47,951
The second visible plant change that is well-tested are the expulsion cavities.

252
00:18:47,951 --> 00:18:52,952
Holes blown out at the lower stem nodes, usually the second,

253
00:18:52,952 --> 00:18:54,953
but sometimes also the third and fourth nodes,

254
00:18:54,953 --> 00:18:57,954
and littered, they're holes blown out at the nodes.

255
00:18:59,954 --> 00:19:06,956
Best I can tell, these visible changes are beyond the capability of humans at this point in time.

256
00:19:07,956 --> 00:19:14,958
This is indicative of some kind of intense heat that has hit the stalk

257
00:19:14,958 --> 00:19:17,959
and actually physically changed it.

258
00:19:18,959 --> 00:19:21,960
Who or what would have done this?

259
00:19:25,961 --> 00:19:29,963
Could the physical anomalies found within some crop circles

260
00:19:29,963 --> 00:19:34,964
be evidence that they were created with advanced technology?

261
00:19:35,964 --> 00:19:39,965
And if so, what might this technology be?

262
00:19:41,966 --> 00:19:43,967
Pleasure to meet you.

263
00:19:43,967 --> 00:19:50,968
In January of 2000, using his own data, as well as data collected by BLT Research,

264
00:19:50,968 --> 00:19:55,970
Dr. Eljo Hazelhoff published a scientific paper suggesting

265
00:19:55,970 --> 00:20:02,972
that the formations might be created by an unknown electromagnetic energy source.

266
00:20:04,972 --> 00:20:09,974
So you've actually done scientific analysis on some of those formations,

267
00:20:09,974 --> 00:20:11,974
so what were some of your conclusions?

268
00:20:11,974 --> 00:20:17,976
The hypothesis is that somehow electromagnetic energy is involved in the creation of these crop circles.

269
00:20:17,976 --> 00:20:21,977
And that somehow this energy causes node elongation,

270
00:20:21,977 --> 00:20:26,979
so the nodes in the stems get longer, and the more energy the longer the nodes are.

271
00:20:26,979 --> 00:20:32,980
And that is very interesting because all you need to do is take a cross-section across a circle like this

272
00:20:32,980 --> 00:20:35,981
and measure the node length in each of these positions.

273
00:20:36,981 --> 00:20:39,982
And actually this is what you see. This is at the perimeter.

274
00:20:39,982 --> 00:20:42,983
See these nodes, these dark areas?

275
00:20:42,983 --> 00:20:45,984
This is somewhere halfway, and that's in the center.

276
00:20:45,984 --> 00:20:47,985
So you see there's a huge difference in the node length.

277
00:20:47,985 --> 00:20:50,985
I mean, this is fascinating. This is incredible.

278
00:20:50,985 --> 00:20:52,986
It is just a little bit.

279
00:20:52,986 --> 00:20:55,987
There's a difference in size between the horse and the elephant.

280
00:20:55,987 --> 00:20:59,988
It's very, very significant. So you can actually make a graph of this.

281
00:20:59,988 --> 00:21:03,989
So this is the node length at the edge, and the node length is about 2 millimeters.

282
00:21:03,989 --> 00:21:08,991
So this is in the center of the circle, and the node length is like 4.2 millimeters.

283
00:21:08,991 --> 00:21:12,992
You're going towards the perimeter, that's about 2 millimeters.

284
00:21:12,992 --> 00:21:17,993
You see there's a massive change in node length. It's actually more than twice as long.

285
00:21:17,993 --> 00:21:20,994
Yeah, I mean, what would do this? That's...

286
00:21:20,994 --> 00:21:28,996
Well, in this case it was very interesting because this crop circle actually had an eye witness when it formed.

287
00:21:28,996 --> 00:21:33,998
And the eye witness says, I saw a ball of light, and it was standing still.

288
00:21:33,998 --> 00:21:37,999
And that is very important because when the ball of light is standing still,

289
00:21:37,999 --> 00:21:43,000
we can very accurately predict how the energy will be distributed on the ground.

290
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:49,002
We know that there will be more energy in the center, and the more energy the longer the nodes are.

291
00:21:49,002 --> 00:21:52,003
And we can also predict what the node length would have been.

292
00:21:52,003 --> 00:21:56,004
So you can check your hypothesis, and in this case it was a perfect match.

293
00:21:56,004 --> 00:21:58,004
Wow.

294
00:21:58,004 --> 00:22:00,005
It's amazing, isn't it?

295
00:22:00,005 --> 00:22:05,006
No, this is where I get the goosebumps because clearly there is something there,

296
00:22:05,006 --> 00:22:12,008
and no one denies that many of them are man-made, but then there's something bizarre.

297
00:22:12,008 --> 00:22:21,011
Do you have any idea how or who might be behind it?

298
00:22:22,011 --> 00:22:24,012
That's a very difficult question.

299
00:22:24,012 --> 00:22:27,013
What I can say about that is...

300
00:22:29,013 --> 00:22:31,014
I don't know.

301
00:22:31,014 --> 00:22:36,015
So it is something that remains a giant question mark?

302
00:22:36,015 --> 00:22:38,016
Absolutely, yes.

303
00:22:38,016 --> 00:22:47,018
I find it very disheartening in a weird way that something as open as crop formations

304
00:22:47,018 --> 00:22:52,020
are not studied closer by the scientific community.

305
00:22:52,020 --> 00:22:59,022
That they are just offhandedly dismissed as flat-out hoaxes from the get-go

306
00:22:59,022 --> 00:23:07,024
when there is concise scientific evidence that not every crop circle is man-made.

307
00:23:07,024 --> 00:23:12,025
Maybe the origin is extraterrestrial.

308
00:23:13,026 --> 00:23:22,028
Does this peer-reviewed scientific research provide evidence that not all crop formations are the product of hoaxers?

309
00:23:22,028 --> 00:23:31,031
And if so, could there be an otherworldly, perhaps extraterrestrial origin to them?

310
00:23:31,031 --> 00:23:41,033
Perhaps further clues can be found by exploring eyewitness accounts of the crop circle phenomenon.

311
00:23:41,033 --> 00:23:46,035
Salisbury, England, July 7th, 2007.

312
00:23:46,035 --> 00:23:55,037
Local paralegal and crop circle researcher Gary King spends the night camping out on Nap Hill,

313
00:23:55,037 --> 00:24:02,039
an area known for sightings of mysterious orbs and other strange occurrences.

314
00:24:02,039 --> 00:24:08,041
It was the 7th of July 2007, so because it was an auspicious date, the 7th of 7-7,

315
00:24:08,041 --> 00:24:11,042
we decided we'd come here, I came here with my girlfriend to do a night watch,

316
00:24:11,042 --> 00:24:15,043
so we arrived here and at about 3 o'clock in the morning we had a big white flash of light

317
00:24:15,043 --> 00:24:19,044
which completely encompassed the sky.

318
00:24:19,044 --> 00:24:26,046
And about 20 minutes after that we looked and we could see this crop circle laid out in front of us.

319
00:24:26,046 --> 00:24:29,047
The field it appeared in was this field here to the right that's yellow now.

320
00:24:29,047 --> 00:24:33,048
It was actually in wheat the year that it occurred, but they rotate the crops.

321
00:24:33,048 --> 00:24:38,050
And it started from way back near those trees and came over the brow of this hill

322
00:24:38,050 --> 00:24:40,050
and it was absolutely enormous.

323
00:24:43,051 --> 00:24:50,053
The crop formation extended 1,033 feet long and 490 feet wide.

324
00:24:52,054 --> 00:24:58,055
The over two-acre design contained 150 individual circles,

325
00:24:58,055 --> 00:25:02,056
the largest 164 feet across.

326
00:25:04,057 --> 00:25:06,058
I have no idea what made it.

327
00:25:06,058 --> 00:25:10,059
What I do know though is that people with boards didn't make this.

328
00:25:13,060 --> 00:25:19,061
Gary King's experience is just one of many first-hand accounts of designs

329
00:25:19,061 --> 00:25:23,062
that mysteriously appear in a short period of time.

330
00:25:24,063 --> 00:25:31,065
It is documented that there are approximately 70 cases of people having an eyewitness sighting

331
00:25:31,065 --> 00:25:36,066
of the formation of a crop circle where they are literally standing there in the crop

332
00:25:36,066 --> 00:25:40,067
and it just spontaneously forms in front of them.

333
00:25:41,067 --> 00:25:44,068
There is a loud tweeting sound in a lot of cases

334
00:25:44,068 --> 00:25:49,070
and then this sort of crackling electrostatic charge on the crops

335
00:25:49,070 --> 00:25:54,071
and then you just watch as almost like an oriental fan is unrolling.

336
00:25:54,071 --> 00:25:59,073
The crops just fold down in a matter of three seconds. It's all finished.

337
00:26:00,073 --> 00:26:04,074
Crop circle researchers cite that many of these eyewitness accounts

338
00:26:04,074 --> 00:26:10,076
include sightings of strange lights in and around a formation.

339
00:26:11,076 --> 00:26:17,078
Mill Kill, Wiltshire, England, 1991.

340
00:26:17,078 --> 00:26:23,079
Steve Alexander, a local photographer, is filming footage of a crop formation

341
00:26:23,079 --> 00:26:28,081
from a neighboring hill when he captures a strange metallic light

342
00:26:28,081 --> 00:26:31,082
floating in the field below.

343
00:26:31,082 --> 00:26:33,082
What is it?

344
00:26:33,082 --> 00:26:35,083
Hello.

345
00:26:36,083 --> 00:26:41,084
His camera caught sight of what seemed to be a white orb of light flying right across this field

346
00:26:41,084 --> 00:26:44,085
right next to a crop circle.

347
00:26:44,085 --> 00:26:50,087
That orb of light, whatever it was, flew directly over a tractor working in the next field down

348
00:26:50,087 --> 00:26:53,088
and later on that farmer was contacted and he said

349
00:26:53,088 --> 00:26:59,089
I saw this weird orb of light about the size of a melon or something fly over my tractor.

350
00:26:59,089 --> 00:27:02,090
Whatever that is, that's very much so.

351
00:27:03,091 --> 00:27:10,093
I myself have seen several and they are astonishing in their brightness.

352
00:27:11,093 --> 00:27:18,095
We are dealing with intelligent plasmas that are sending and receiving information

353
00:27:18,095 --> 00:27:23,096
for another intelligence of unknown origin.

354
00:27:27,097 --> 00:27:31,099
Orbs of light are a commonly associated phenomenon with crop circles

355
00:27:31,099 --> 00:27:36,100
and this goes all the way back to the story of the mowing devil in 1678.

356
00:27:38,100 --> 00:27:42,102
The sighting of lights is often associated with these phenomenon

357
00:27:42,102 --> 00:27:47,103
and they do seem to suggest something we don't understand.

358
00:27:48,103 --> 00:27:53,105
The ghost lights, the will and the wist sightings, represented some force of nature

359
00:27:53,105 --> 00:27:57,106
we had not entirely acknowledged or given sufficient respect to.

360
00:27:57,106 --> 00:28:01,107
Some mystery that we need to come to grips with.

361
00:28:03,108 --> 00:28:08,109
It could be an actual craft or it could potentially be something like the stylus

362
00:28:08,109 --> 00:28:12,110
from an extraterrestrial hand that is somewhere far away

363
00:28:12,110 --> 00:28:19,112
but this light is the projected form of a technology being used from the safety and comfort of space.

364
00:28:20,112 --> 00:28:24,113
We have to imagine an advanced extraterrestrial race

365
00:28:24,113 --> 00:28:30,115
sending out orbs of light that are sort of like peep holes for exploration.

366
00:28:32,116 --> 00:28:37,117
They come to a planet, they find something interesting, the peep hole opens into a portal

367
00:28:37,117 --> 00:28:41,118
perhaps through which these advanced visitors can pass

368
00:28:41,118 --> 00:28:46,120
or perhaps through which a human could even enter and travel to the home planet of the orb.

369
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,121
Is this what a crop circle is?

370
00:28:49,121 --> 00:28:54,122
To me, the proliferation of wormhole themed crop circles tells us

371
00:28:54,122 --> 00:29:00,124
that this is the method of communication as well as travel of these advanced visitors.

372
00:29:01,124 --> 00:29:06,125
There is a possibility that we are dealing with time travelers.

373
00:29:06,125 --> 00:29:14,128
The time travelers are using the crop formations to judge the accuracy of their time travel.

374
00:29:15,128 --> 00:29:20,129
So are the crop formations designed for humans at all?

375
00:29:23,130 --> 00:29:26,131
Just what purpose do crop circles serve?

376
00:29:26,131 --> 00:29:32,133
Are they landing codes for time travelers, as some crop circle investigators suggest?

377
00:29:34,133 --> 00:29:38,134
Or is it possible that they serve as a communication medium?

378
00:29:39,135 --> 00:29:47,137
One only meant for us to discover once we evolved enough to discern them from the sky.

379
00:29:51,138 --> 00:29:56,139
Winchester, England, August 15, 2002.

380
00:29:58,140 --> 00:30:06,142
A crop formation bearing the image of what appears to be a grey alien emerges in a wheat field.

381
00:30:09,143 --> 00:30:17,145
At the bottom right corner of the image is a disc shaped object containing what some believe to be binary code.

382
00:30:17,145 --> 00:30:22,147
A computer language consisting of ones and zeros.

383
00:30:24,147 --> 00:30:30,149
There was a crop formation that unmistakably looks like an extraterrestrial,

384
00:30:30,149 --> 00:30:35,151
the proverbial grey with the almond eyes and the triangular shaped head.

385
00:30:35,151 --> 00:30:42,152
And there's also at the bottom there seems to be a computer disc and what looked like binary code.

386
00:30:43,153 --> 00:30:51,155
The message allegedly says, beware the bearers of false gifts and their broken promises.

387
00:30:51,155 --> 00:30:54,156
Much pain, but still time.

388
00:30:54,156 --> 00:31:00,158
There's good out there. We oppose the severs. Conduit closing.

389
00:31:01,158 --> 00:31:08,160
It was warning humanity about the deceivers, about dangers.

390
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:24,164
Just a year prior, on August 21, 2001, another formation that contained binary code appeared in a wheat field next to the Chilboulton radio observatory.

391
00:31:25,165 --> 00:31:37,168
Researchers are convinced that the design was a response to a message that was transmitted into space by astronomers Frank Drake and Carl Sagan in 1974.

392
00:31:39,169 --> 00:31:47,171
In November of 1974, Carl Sagan and Drake at Cornell University sent out from Aracibo, Puerto Rico,

393
00:31:47,171 --> 00:31:54,173
a signal of binary code about Earth to whoever in the cosmos would receive our signal.

394
00:31:54,173 --> 00:32:01,175
The original message contained binary encoded information, including the numbers one through ten,

395
00:32:01,175 --> 00:32:11,178
an image of our DNA strand, the figure of a human, and a graphic of the solar system with the position of Earth highlighted.

396
00:32:12,178 --> 00:32:17,179
It echoed absolutely, line by line by line.

397
00:32:19,180 --> 00:32:24,181
But the DNA did not look like double helix. It was very bizarre.

398
00:32:24,181 --> 00:32:34,184
And then when you got down instead of a six foot human, it was this thing that was maybe a third the height of the human in Carl Sagan.

399
00:32:34,184 --> 00:32:40,186
And it was associated with a strange solar system.

400
00:32:40,186 --> 00:32:47,188
It was a very complex, very strange, one of a kind pattern. We'd never seen anything like it before.

401
00:32:51,189 --> 00:32:57,191
In 2004, a mysterious rock was found near the Roswell crash site,

402
00:32:57,191 --> 00:33:05,193
bearing the same image as a crop circle that was discovered in Chiseledon, England on August 2, 1996.

403
00:33:06,193 --> 00:33:12,195
On the Roswell rock, you have an almost identical symbol.

404
00:33:12,195 --> 00:33:21,197
In England, to me, it's very fascinating because it essentially shows that they're trying to somehow communicate with us.

405
00:33:21,197 --> 00:33:30,200
So the idea is that perhaps some of these crop circles indeed are messages from elsewhere.

406
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:36,202
And elsewhere, in my opinion, means of extraterrestrial origin.

407
00:33:39,203 --> 00:33:46,204
Could it be that some crop formations serve as a medium for extraterrestrial communication?

408
00:33:48,205 --> 00:33:55,207
Many crop circle researchers say yes, and suggest further evidence of this can be found by examining

409
00:33:55,207 --> 00:34:02,209
the advanced astronomical, scientific and mathematical equations contained within them.

410
00:34:04,210 --> 00:34:08,211
One formation had everyone baffled and people were saying, well, what is this?

411
00:34:09,211 --> 00:34:15,213
Then a mathematician had a look at it and said, wait a minute, that's a representation of pi,

412
00:34:15,213 --> 00:34:18,214
and it's correct, down to 10 decimal places.

413
00:34:19,214 --> 00:34:22,215
It's a representation of pi in a geometric sense.

414
00:34:22,215 --> 00:34:29,217
It's kind of interesting because the way you get pi out of it is the lengths of the different arcs in each segment.

415
00:34:29,217 --> 00:34:35,218
And what happens is there's these little notches in the spiral that let you know you're at the end of an arc.

416
00:34:35,218 --> 00:34:41,220
So you actually have to measure the arc lengths as you go around, and their lengths give you the digits of pi,

417
00:34:41,220 --> 00:34:44,221
and there's a little circle to give you the decimal point.

418
00:34:44,221 --> 00:34:50,223
So it's a really interesting example of using geometry as a code for representing digits and numbers.

419
00:34:52,223 --> 00:35:00,225
It just shows the level of knowledge, mathematical knowledge, a geometric skill that goes into making these things.

420
00:35:01,226 --> 00:35:07,227
Many of the most famous crop circles actually derive from fractal patterns.

421
00:35:10,228 --> 00:35:11,229
The Mandelbrot said,

422
00:35:14,229 --> 00:35:20,231
the Julia said, to make these, you have to have knowledge of math.

423
00:35:20,231 --> 00:35:24,232
Mathematics is, of course, the universal language.

424
00:35:24,232 --> 00:35:29,234
If we ever encounter aliens, they're not going to speak English or French or German.

425
00:35:29,234 --> 00:35:32,234
We'll speak and we'll communicate via mathematics.

426
00:35:34,235 --> 00:35:42,237
Could crop circles, as some believe, be an attempt from an alien civilization to reach out and communicate with us?

427
00:35:44,238 --> 00:35:53,240
There's a consistent amount of sacred geometry, tetrahedrons, cubes, octahedrons, and even more complex geometric patterns.

428
00:35:53,240 --> 00:36:00,242
Many of our best and top scientists are now saying that this geometry is the secret keys to the higher dimensions,

429
00:36:00,242 --> 00:36:08,245
and it's right there in the crops, as if they're giving us a trail of breadcrumbs, showing us how to get to the next level as a planet.

430
00:36:09,245 --> 00:36:21,248
Microp formations that contain celestial patterns and mathematical equations really have been created by other worldly beings attempting to communicate with humans.

431
00:36:22,249 --> 00:36:30,251
And if extraterrestrial forces are sending messages to mankind, why aren't world governments more interested?

432
00:36:31,251 --> 00:36:42,254
Some insiders say they are, and suggest that they are not only interested, but may even be directly involved.

433
00:36:46,255 --> 00:36:51,257
AVEBURY, INGLAND, JOLY, 2006

434
00:36:51,257 --> 00:36:56,258
The shadow of a geometric pattern appears in a field.

435
00:36:56,258 --> 00:37:04,260
The design echoes a crop formation that was created in the exact same location 12 months prior.

436
00:37:05,261 --> 00:37:11,262
Crop circle researchers refer to this phenomenon as a ghost formation.

437
00:37:13,263 --> 00:37:17,264
The ghost formations are a really curious aside to the main crop circle phenomenon.

438
00:37:17,264 --> 00:37:26,267
The following year, or even later in the same year, there's an impression left in the field, even though the original crop circle has been harvested or cut down in whatever way.

439
00:37:26,267 --> 00:37:31,268
There's a residual effect on the ground, to some people, seems utterly mysterious.

440
00:37:34,269 --> 00:37:45,272
The altered growth pattern of the affected crops has been known to persist for up to two years after the initial crop circle appears, but only on certain formations.

441
00:37:47,273 --> 00:37:50,273
A number of crop circles reappear again.

442
00:37:50,273 --> 00:38:03,277
It seems that it's some effort to communicate with us from extraterrestrials by putting these designs onto the ground over and over again.

443
00:38:03,277 --> 00:38:11,279
And perhaps what they're trying to do is give us information that they think we need, but we just need to decipher it.

444
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:20,282
Could there really be a message so important that the residual design persists in the crops for months and even years?

445
00:38:20,282 --> 00:38:27,284
If so, wouldn't the crop circle phenomenon be more closely monitored by world governments?

446
00:38:27,284 --> 00:38:40,288
Some crop circle investigators say yes, and suggest that the U.S. and British governments currently utilize satellite technology to secretly photograph and catalog crop formations.

447
00:38:42,288 --> 00:38:49,290
But others suggest their involvement may actually run much deeper.

448
00:38:51,291 --> 00:39:00,293
Just as it was British government policy to downplay the true interest in UFOs, so it was the case with crop circles.

449
00:39:00,293 --> 00:39:07,295
If there's an alien message there, of course government would want that knowledge and they'd want to keep it for themselves.

450
00:39:07,295 --> 00:39:15,297
The intriguing thing there is of course that some of the formations that people are seeing may actually be made by the government.

451
00:39:16,298 --> 00:39:24,300
Government scientists would be making the reply that goes out from us to the extraterrestrials.

452
00:39:24,300 --> 00:39:36,303
Whether crop formations are the residue of intelligent plasmas, or extraterrestrials, or a combination of both,

453
00:39:36,303 --> 00:39:45,306
why can't the whole world know what it is that the governments know about crop formations and lights?

454
00:39:45,306 --> 00:39:52,308
What would happen if the whole planet knew? If all humans knew, we're not alone.

455
00:39:55,309 --> 00:40:05,312
Is it possible that world governments are secretly working to uncover messages encrypted within crop circles,

456
00:40:05,312 --> 00:40:13,314
and are even attempting to communicate with otherworldly entities by creating crop circles themselves?

457
00:40:13,314 --> 00:40:23,317
And if these formations really are messages from extraterrestrials, just what are they trying to communicate?

458
00:40:25,317 --> 00:40:35,320
Something keeps laying things down in sequence as if it has a big picture of how it is communicating with this planet,

459
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,321
but it is doing so in pieces.

460
00:40:38,321 --> 00:40:47,323
If you looked at the math and you looked at the warnings, something champions us, wants us to evolve.

461
00:40:48,324 --> 00:40:58,327
I think that the crop formations are a calling card that we are being given that is being put underneath our very eyes,

462
00:40:58,327 --> 00:41:02,328
and we really should pay attention to those messages.

463
00:41:02,328 --> 00:41:15,331
Those are little hints that are dropped worldwide that prepare us to change our point of view, that we're not the only ones.

464
00:41:17,332 --> 00:41:25,334
Have extraterrestrials been using crop circles to communicate with mankind throughout our history?

465
00:41:25,334 --> 00:41:40,338
Are these complex designs pieces of a mathematical puzzle that once put together and deciphered will reveal the truth about both our origins and our destiny?

466
00:41:41,339 --> 00:41:48,341
Perhaps we will unlock the secrets of the universe, not by venturing out deeper into space,

467
00:41:48,341 --> 00:41:56,343
but by understanding the messages that are being given to us right here on Earth.
