1
00:00:03,770 --> 00:00:01,910
right behind me is Britain's largest

2
00:00:05,090 --> 00:00:03,780
radio telescope the chill Bolton

3
00:00:07,309 --> 00:00:05,100
Observatory

4
00:00:09,169 --> 00:00:07,319
and here it was that the greater

5
00:00:11,750 --> 00:00:09,179
sensation in the crop circle history was

6
00:00:14,350 --> 00:00:11,760
to appear in the fields right in front

7
00:00:18,170 --> 00:00:14,360
of the telescope

8
00:00:19,849 --> 00:00:18,180
on the morning of 14th of August 2001 a

9
00:00:22,490 --> 00:00:19,859
formation was discovered which was

10
00:00:24,470 --> 00:00:22,500
different from any other previously seen

11
00:00:27,470 --> 00:00:24,480
from the ground it looked like a tangled

12
00:00:29,210 --> 00:00:27,480
mess wisps of crops spread around in no

13
00:00:31,490 --> 00:00:29,220
system

14
00:00:34,729 --> 00:00:31,500
however in the evening with growing

15
00:00:37,910 --> 00:00:34,739
Shadows a picture appeared unmistakably

16
00:00:42,770 --> 00:00:40,250
that picture represented a whole new

17
00:00:44,450 --> 00:00:42,780
technique a screen technique the same

18
00:00:46,729 --> 00:00:44,460
that's used for printing a picture on

19
00:00:51,650 --> 00:00:49,069
three days later the face was joined by

20
00:00:54,110 --> 00:00:51,660
something that looked like a data strip

21
00:00:55,729 --> 00:00:54,120
rows of counters made out of standing

22
00:00:58,430 --> 00:00:55,739
and flattened crop

23
00:01:00,709 --> 00:00:58,440
but soon an astonishing similarity is

24
00:01:04,009 --> 00:01:00,719
discovered

25
00:01:06,289 --> 00:01:04,019
in 1974 the astronomer Carl Sagan

26
00:01:08,450 --> 00:01:06,299
composed a message that NASA sent into

27
00:01:09,950 --> 00:01:08,460
space from the Arecibo telescope in

28
00:01:12,230 --> 00:01:09,960
Puerto Rico

29
00:01:14,210 --> 00:01:12,240
binary figures which constituted a

30
00:01:17,109 --> 00:01:14,220
graphic code presenting key factors

31
00:01:19,969 --> 00:01:17,119
about humans and the planet we live on

32
00:01:21,710 --> 00:01:19,979
27 years later an identical pattern

33
00:01:24,649 --> 00:01:21,720
appears in a crop field right in front

34
00:01:26,810 --> 00:01:24,659
of a similar radio telescope however on

35
00:01:28,429 --> 00:01:26,820
closer inspection it seemed to show that

36
00:01:31,030 --> 00:01:28,439
the code contained some fundamental

37
00:01:36,289 --> 00:01:33,649
message explained our calculation system

38
00:01:37,910 --> 00:01:36,299
the dominant chemical substances within

39
00:01:41,270 --> 00:01:37,920
the elements that create life on Earth

40
00:01:43,429 --> 00:01:41,280
about our DNA code humans height and

41
00:01:46,310 --> 00:01:43,439
quantity and that we live on the third

42
00:01:49,130 --> 00:01:46,320
planet in our solar system and lastly a

43
00:01:50,510 --> 00:01:49,140
sketch of our radio telescope

44
00:01:52,670 --> 00:01:50,520
[Music]

45
00:01:55,370 --> 00:01:52,680
the message received described the same

46
00:01:57,230 --> 00:01:55,380
calculation system but that silicon is

47
00:01:58,609 --> 00:01:57,240
most dominant in life forms in contrast

48
00:02:00,710 --> 00:01:58,619
to carbon

49
00:02:02,870 --> 00:02:00,720
the drawing also clearly shows a

50
00:02:04,370 --> 00:02:02,880
humanoid figure with large head in

51
00:02:06,350 --> 00:02:04,380
relation to its body

52
00:02:08,449 --> 00:02:06,360
it's also explained that they have an

53
00:02:11,390 --> 00:02:08,459
extra string in their DNA or

54
00:02:13,490 --> 00:02:11,400
approximately four feet tall inhabit the

55
00:02:16,190 --> 00:02:13,500
third fourth and fifth planets in their

56
00:02:19,190 --> 00:02:16,200
solar system and have a population of

57
00:02:21,110 --> 00:02:19,200
around 21.3 billion

58
00:02:25,030 --> 00:02:21,120
underneath the telescope has been

59
00:02:28,010 --> 00:02:25,040
replaced by something more complex

60
00:02:30,589 --> 00:02:28,020
one year earlier a strange crop circle

61
00:02:32,690 --> 00:02:30,599
had appeared in the same place is this

62
00:02:33,350 --> 00:02:32,700
the same illustration as in the sender's

63
00:02:35,630 --> 00:02:33,360
code

64
00:02:37,790 --> 00:02:35,640
is this the correspondence radio

65
00:02:41,270 --> 00:02:37,800
telescope

66
00:02:45,890 --> 00:02:43,670
if this is not an extremely clever and

67
00:02:48,350 --> 00:02:45,900
well-calculated joke conducted by humans

68
00:02:48,950 --> 00:02:48,360
is it a serious response from an alien

69
00:02:50,630 --> 00:02:48,960
civilization

70
00:02:52,910 --> 00:02:50,640
[Music]

71
00:02:55,250 --> 00:02:52,920
the following year very nearly on the

72
00:02:57,949 --> 00:02:55,260
same day a new picture appears that

73
00:02:59,930 --> 00:02:57,959
gives new Force to the alien Theory this

74
00:03:01,970 --> 00:02:59,940
time in crabwood near the town of

75
00:03:04,670 --> 00:03:01,980
Winchester in Hampshire

76
00:03:06,830 --> 00:03:04,680
once again we see a face but this time

77
00:03:09,110 --> 00:03:06,840
there is an unmistakable resemblance to

78
00:03:11,210 --> 00:03:09,120
something extraterrestrial

79
00:03:13,970 --> 00:03:11,220
the picture also contains a print

80
00:03:15,710 --> 00:03:13,980
somewhat similar to that of a CD with

81
00:03:19,490 --> 00:03:15,720
something that appears to be a coded

82
00:03:24,170 --> 00:03:21,890
this formation also has a new type of

83
00:03:26,509 --> 00:03:24,180
Design This Time with horizontal line

84
00:03:29,509 --> 00:03:26,519
patterns of variable thickness similar

85
00:03:31,190 --> 00:03:29,519
to that of a TV picture the message on

86
00:03:33,350 --> 00:03:31,200
the disk is similar to a spiral band

87
00:03:36,229 --> 00:03:33,360
built up of many boxes

88
00:03:38,449 --> 00:03:36,239
but data expert Paul vigay manages to

89
00:03:41,270 --> 00:03:38,459
decipher the message

90
00:03:42,890 --> 00:03:41,280
and I had to enlarge the the disc quite

91
00:03:44,809 --> 00:03:42,900
substantially on the computer and run

92
00:03:46,970 --> 00:03:44,819
some image analysis over it to make it

93
00:03:49,369 --> 00:03:46,980
clear so I could see what was a standing

94
00:03:51,170 --> 00:03:49,379
tuft and what was flattened and while I

95
00:03:52,729 --> 00:03:51,180
was doing this I noticed that every so

96
00:03:54,770 --> 00:03:52,739
often

97
00:03:57,050 --> 00:03:54,780
um there was almost a mistake in the

98
00:03:59,570 --> 00:03:57,060
diagram it was like there was a tuft the

99
00:04:02,030 --> 00:03:59,580
weather little square tuft it had done

100
00:04:04,009 --> 00:04:02,040
sort of half size I thought it was a bit

101
00:04:06,710 --> 00:04:04,019
odds and it and it seemed fairly regular

102
00:04:08,390 --> 00:04:06,720
I was going round and I sort of counted

103
00:04:10,009 --> 00:04:08,400
up and it was sort of literally every

104
00:04:12,470 --> 00:04:10,019
sort of eight bites or whatever I

105
00:04:14,449 --> 00:04:12,480
thought oh eight bites and yeah from

106
00:04:17,390 --> 00:04:14,459
computer side

107
00:04:19,430 --> 00:04:17,400
um is obviously some sort of binary code

108
00:04:20,930 --> 00:04:19,440
um so they know that you know did the

109
00:04:24,050 --> 00:04:20,940
straightforward thing I just converted

110
00:04:26,749 --> 00:04:24,060
it into ASCII which is the standard sort

111
00:04:29,030 --> 00:04:26,759
of you know computer language that you

112
00:04:31,249 --> 00:04:29,040
encode the alphabet in

113
00:04:34,370 --> 00:04:31,259
um and of course I then started to get

114
00:04:35,930 --> 00:04:34,380
words for me out and I thought ah you

115
00:04:37,969 --> 00:04:35,940
know getting somewhere here so I didn't

116
00:04:41,210 --> 00:04:37,979
did the whole thing for the whole lot

117
00:04:43,610 --> 00:04:41,220
and got this message the message is in

118
00:04:46,730 --> 00:04:43,620
English and reads as follows

119
00:04:49,790 --> 00:04:46,740
beware the bearers of false gifts and

120
00:04:51,170 --> 00:04:49,800
their broken promises much pain but

121
00:04:54,350 --> 00:04:51,180
still time

122
00:04:58,730 --> 00:04:54,360
there is good out there we oppose

123
00:05:03,950 --> 00:05:00,890
many have been surprised by this message

124
00:05:06,350 --> 00:05:03,960
are there aliens with such faces that we

125
00:05:07,730 --> 00:05:06,360
should be aware of or is this a picture

126
00:05:10,310 --> 00:05:07,740
of the sender

127
00:05:12,110 --> 00:05:10,320
does this indicate the start of actual

128
00:05:13,790 --> 00:05:12,120
close contact with Neighbors in the
