1 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,000 The Croppies Episode 1 2 00:00:36,999 --> 00:00:40,100 The silent circle 3 00:00:40,100 --> 00:00:45,100 Allright the backup camera is ready. 4 00:01:02,103 --> 00:01:06,103 Mic check. 5 00:01:06,105 --> 00:01:10,105 Always say "over" in the end, right? 6 00:01:10,105 --> 00:01:19,105 Robert:"I am always asking myself who is doing this? What's the purpose?" 7 00:01:19,105 --> 00:01:25,105 "Someone has to do it!" Frank: "Someone is doing it! That's clear." Robert: " But why?" 8 00:01:25,108 --> 00:01:31,108 Frank:" That's the big question. Look over there a classic wind damage in the field!" 9 00:01:31,108 --> 00:01:37,108 Robert:" Nah, that's a multi dimensional structure and you are just too stupid to recognize it!" 10 00:01:37,108 --> 00:01:42,108 "Did you take your pictures from the side perspective you wanted to make yet? Over." 11 00:01:42,111 --> 00:01:52,111 Awnser:" Yeah, but we want to take some more from behind and so on." Robert: "Allright, roger!" 12 00:01:52,111 --> 00:02:00,111 "Do humans create crop circles because crop circles exist? Or are there crop circles because humans create them all?" 13 00:02:00,111 --> 00:02:09,111 "Or are there aliens that force people to create crop circles so they start to believe in aliens?" 14 00:02:09,114 --> 00:02:14,114 "That's the most logical explanation I heard today." 15 00:02:14,115 --> 00:02:20,115 "Yeah, right." 16 00:02:20,116 --> 00:02:28,116 Are we really alone in the universe? Since over 50 years astrologers are searching for intelligent life. 17 00:02:28,116 --> 00:02:42,116 At the SETI project, search for extra terrestrial intelligence, scientist analyze electromagnetic fields from space in hope to find messeges from aliens. 18 00:02:42,116 --> 00:02:48,116 Until today they haven't found anything yet. 19 00:02:48,117 --> 00:02:54,117 Frank Drake, astrophysicist, sent a message into space in 1974. 20 00:02:54,120 --> 00:03:03,120 He used the biggest radio telescope available back then. The message used a binary code and contained everything ET should know about us. 21 00:03:03,121 --> 00:03:09,121 Our chemical structure, how we look and where our planet can be found. 22 00:03:09,122 --> 00:03:15,122 A great idea but aliens refused to sent back a message. 23 00:03:15,122 --> 00:03:23,122 But then a structure has been found 2001 in a field that looked almost like the one that was sent into space. 24 00:03:23,122 --> 00:03:36,122 A binary code close to a radio telescope. Certain aspects of the original message had been modified. 25 00:03:36,125 --> 00:03:45,125 Instead of a human double-stranded DNA a triple-stranded DNA had been insert. Not to mention the looks of the sender. 26 00:03:45,126 --> 00:03:51,126 Was this the long awaited awnser to the message Frank Drake sent out of space? 27 00:03:56,127 --> 00:04:06,127 SETI said that this is based way to much on a human perspective. Why should aliens almost look like us? 28 00:04:06,127 --> 00:04:12,127 There are so many shapes, forms and colors this can' be true. It's way to much thought from a human perspective so it can't be true. 29 00:04:12,128 --> 00:04:17,129 Frank:" Isn't that thought way to human after all?" Robert:" Yeah, you got the point." 30 00:04:53,132 --> 00:05:02,132 That's way to simple if you ask me. Nobody can suggest that because nobody can proof it. Of course no one can proof the opposite either. 31 00:05:02,132 --> 00:05:08,132 Maybe we can take some pictures at the farmer who's shooting at tourists who are trying to get on his fields. 32 00:05:08,134 --> 00:05:18,134 It's dangourus isn't it? In 2009 people were being shot at. Luckily they didn't get hit though. 33 00:05:18,134 --> 00:05:29,134 I mean I can understand that. You have a field and need to get your annual harvest. Then some people making fun of you and create these signs in your field. 34 00:05:29,136 --> 00:05:33,136 Or aliens create these and think it's a good idea to use your field for a message to humanity. 35 00:05:33,137 --> 00:05:40,137 Oh, yer beeing caught speeding. Frank: " How fast am I allowed to drive here?" 36 00:05:40,137 --> 00:05:49,137 80 mph? Robert:" Yeah, I dunno. Haven't seen any signs." 37 00:05:49,139 --> 00:05:55,139 Oh well. That are 35€. Frank:" Two times." 38 00:05:55,139 --> 00:05:59,139 Robert to the radio:"Two times says Frank." 39 00:05:59,141 --> 00:06:13,141 "Let's take the 6:48" Frank:" You are beeing scanned and have to confirm it on the screen. Then you choose the one at 6:48" 40 00:06:13,141 --> 00:06:18,141 Okay 41 00:06:18,141 --> 00:06:25,141 This is kinda weird right? To ride a train under the sea for how long is it? 30km? 42 00:06:25,144 --> 00:06:30,144 Nah, it must be more. 43 00:07:05,146 --> 00:07:11,146 Your first impression? "It's huge. Almost 100 metres." 44 00:07:11,146 --> 00:07:20,146 7 side arms. This is not yet true to scale I guess. 45 00:07:45,149 --> 00:08:01,149 This is crazy. Sometimes you can feel it. Here, this is like a wall. Made in a matter of seconds. Unbelievable. 46 00:09:50,149 --> 00:09:57,149 There are new circles. Robert:" How does it look like? Can I see it?" 47 00:09:57,152 --> 00:10:16,152 Here it is. I'll mark it. Now let's see where exactly it is. Aww, crap it's not downloading. 48 00:10:16,153 --> 00:10:22,153 Usally it would show us the exact position. 49 00:10:22,153 --> 00:10:38,153 Well we had access to the web a few minutes ago but it's gone now. Of course that's annoying because we can't find the crop circle right now. 50 00:10:38,153 --> 00:10:47,153 We just saw it on the display but it's gone now because of the roaming net. England is kinda crap. Don't come here when you are addicted to the internet. 51 00:11:04,157 --> 00:11:14,157 Robert: "What is this?" Frank:"This is Avebury." 52 00:11:14,158 --> 00:11:18,158 Robert:" Oh, some kind of stone circles." 53 00:11:24,158 --> 00:11:29,158 Well I am up for flight. Frank:"Allright, that's what we are here for." 54 00:11:29,158 --> 00:11:35,158 I would like to start from the hill over there. Frank: "Oh, well. Let's go to that hill." 55 00:11:35,159 --> 00:11:40,159 On the way there you can explain what exactly this thing is. 56 00:11:40,162 --> 00:11:44,162 It's a receiver for the video signal. That's all. Frank:"Oh, good." 57 00:11:44,163 --> 00:12:00,163 Oh, I guess there is a little more about it. It's a diversity receiver. Without it I couldn't receive the video signal comming from the chopper. 58 00:12:00,163 --> 00:12:09,163 Since it is a diversity receiver I have a wide reach. 59 00:12:09,163 --> 00:12:14,163 The two antennas complement each other. 60 00:12:14,166 --> 00:12:20,166 We have the information that there is a crop circle nearby. Let's see if we can find it. 61 00:12:20,167 --> 00:12:30,167 How far can you fly with the thing by the way? " Too far. I'll try to stay in a radius of 200 to 400 metres. Depending on the wind." 62 00:12:30,168 --> 00:12:36,168 I hope it's not too far. Not that we have to go behind the next hill. 63 00:12:36,168 --> 00:12:47,168 Well, we just met Umberto, an Italian, again. He said that there is another formation behind that hill over there. 64 00:12:47,168 --> 00:12:51,168 That's too far. Defnitly. 65 00:12:51,171 --> 00:12:57,171 I wouldn't try that because out of security reasons. 66 00:12:57,172 --> 00:13:15,172 If something goes wrong and the chopper goes out of control we might loose it in the field. I don't want to look for it afterwards. 67 00:13:15,173 --> 00:13:24,173 What are these stones over there? Robert:"You don't know? Those are menhirs." Frank:" Yeah, Obelix placed them there." 68 00:13:24,173 --> 00:13:33,173 Oh, well, let's uhm...We wanted to shot a car driving scene here right? Robert:" Yeah, right." 69 00:13:39,176 --> 00:13:48,176 Let's go. Is this thing on? Yeah, we have a signal. Let's just give it a try. 70 00:16:34,177 --> 00:16:54,177 That guy was a typical sceptic. He was nice but when I started to explain that I believe that some of the crop circles are not man made he interrupted me. 71 00:16:54,178 --> 00:17:02,178 That's cognitive dissonance. It doesn't fit in your world view. You just don't want to hear about that. 72 00:17:02,181 --> 00:17:06,181 It only makes things more difficult. 73 00:17:06,182 --> 00:17:13,182 I mean I am someone who believes in aliens but I am not saying that these are made by aliens. 74 00:18:47,182 --> 00:18:56,182 Did you know that Whilshire is the largest or 2nd largest place for agriculture in the UK? 75 00:18:56,183 --> 00:19:02,183 Nope. Didn't know that. 76 00:19:02,184 --> 00:19:14,184 We should have a good overview from here. And I got a camera with 30x zoom function. Hold on, let's have a look now. 77 00:19:14,185 --> 00:19:25,185 Just scream when you see anything special. "I don't see anyhting at all." What's that over there? 78 00:19:25,188 --> 00:19:35,188 Robert:"Is that anything?" Frank: "Try to adjust the focus. Nah, that's nothing." 79 00:19:35,189 --> 00:19:42,189 Robert:"Hmm, yeah doesn't look symmetrical." Frank:" Well I don't see anything out here" 80 00:19:42,190 --> 00:19:49,190 Robert:" Well you can't just go around and look for crop circles. That's like looking for a needle in the haystack." 81 00:19:49,191 --> 00:19:58,191 Robert:"What are we going to do now?" Frank:" We could go to the Silent Circle." Robert:" Silent Circle?" 82 00:19:58,192 --> 00:20:10,192 I am going to insert the adress. Gatesbury... 83 00:20:50,192 --> 00:20:56,192 Are we recording yet? 84 00:21:19,194 --> 00:21:24,194 Sorry, I forgot to switch the sound. 85 00:21:24,195 --> 00:21:33,195 Robert:"Test, 1,2" Frank:"The difference of the light is extreme. I guess I have to start from here." 86 00:23:00,199 --> 00:23:07,199 The shape seems strange. It was told that it looks like a vitamine "A" molecule. 87 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:18,600 Yeah, it goes into that direction. But as far as I know it doesn't match exactly. Just a little change will result in a different molecule. 88 00:23:18,601 --> 00:23:23,601 We have to examine it more closely. 89 00:23:23,602 --> 00:23:28,602 Frank:"Shall we? You take the lead." 90 00:23:28,603 --> 00:23:33,603 I mean what shall the farmer do? Let him kick us out if he feels to. 91 00:23:44,605 --> 00:23:50,605 To be continued...
