(Shades of aurora borealis!) I defer to your knowledge. However, my question was re-posted to another forum, and I was sent by a non-subscriber an interesting article that was published nearly 10 years ago that suggests SDI UV lasers could account for the type of effects observed in crop circles. I will excerpt just enough of it here to perhaps pique your curiosity: "December 16, 1990 The concepts in this document are based on known and current technologies and capabilities as extrapolated by Jerry Decker, Cheyenne Turner, Ron Barker, Chuck Henderson, and brought up in discussions with various other associates of KeelyNet and Vangard Sciences. <snip description of crop circles> "Since the inception of SDI (the Star Wars program), Man has had the capability of projecting high-intensity laser beams followed immediately by EXTREMELY high electrical charges aimed at targets on the planet. "SDI uses very high-intensity lasers (EXCIMER LASERS) to generate and project these beams of UltraViolet light. High- intensity UV light cohered into laser beams IONIZES the air through which the beam passes thus creating a conducting path. "How Star Wars works The idea is : 1) to build up a very high electrical charge in the satellite, 2) target a structure from space using a weak UV laser 3) increase the amplitude of the UV laser beam until a highly ionized path is created from the satellite to the target 4) this ionized path acts as an electrical conductor much like a wire being thrown from the satellite to the target 5) the electrical energy is then transferred to the laser beam path which passes the artificial "lightning" to the target 6) as the electrical energy passes into the target, the molecules are electrostatically repelled with explosive velocities causing the target to explode. "The SDI Circle Hypothesis: "All cells contain DNA and RNA among other things. These two complex molecules are especially sensitive to UV frequencies in the range of 260 NM. "In addition, cells can be "denatured" or "melted" when exposed to temperatures in the range of 73 to 77 degrees Celsius. This causes the ladder-like structure of the DNA/RNA to begin to separate. "This is one of the reasons high-energy sources are so dangerous to living systems. The energy causes micro-heating in the DNA/RNA which partially "melts" the tissues. "When the heating is removed (and depending on the degree of melting), the DNA/RNA will revert to the original mirror symmetry pattern. "This is not always a perfect reversion to the original pattern however. Sometimes the patterns are so distorted as to produce mutations in the form of cancer and other diseases. "Plants also are made up of cells. If these cells are subjected to a high-intensity UV laser, heating occurs causing the plants to melt like plastic at their weakest point, i.e. the stalk. "Two-dimensional laser displays rely on a device known as an acousto-optic modulator. This is simply a front surface mirror (reflecting only from the exposed side) which vibrates on either an X or a Y axis. "When the modulator is driven by a sufficiently fast device (like a computer), the laser beam can be reflected off the mirror to paint a picture on any surface. The flatter the surface (and the more perpendicular to the beam), the more perfect the reproduction of the intended image. "If a UV laser were to be properly directed from a space satellite (intended to be used for SDI purposes), it could quite easily "paint" a picture on earth or crops. "Only the crops within the beam would be sufficiently melted to cause the bending effect. That is why microscopic examination of the stalk shows no tearing or cellular rupture as it would be if bent by force. <snip some more technical stuff> "Some of our group find it quite humorous to think that some of the SDI people would be playing such an elaborate prank using such a sophisticated means of application. "Chuck Henderson even suggested that the work might be that of one or more "hackers" who had broken the access and command codes for the SDI satellite. "The intriguing thing about the crop circles is that to date, ALL sightings PRIOR to the SDI project; NEVER involved complex geometries or patterns beyond a circle shape." <snip a proposal to detect UV laser beams and a gratuitous swipe at UFO study> I don't wish to clutter up UFO UpDates with an extended discussion of crop circles, but I do find the SDI explanation very interesting compared to some of the New Age and extraterrestrial explanations. Bruce, if you can knock this information down as easily as you did the idea of charged-particle beams, I will retire from this discussion and let others speculate about crop circles. Thanks for the thoughtful response. Pat McCartney
