On a July afternoon in 1983, Colin Andrews, an electrical
engineer and officer employed by the British regional government,
was driving between his offices near Winchester and Hampshire
when something caught his eye. Seeing something unusual in a
farmer's field next to the road, he felt strongly compelled to
pull over and check it out. A strange physical and mental
sensation came over him as he approached and realized it was a
set of five large circles forming a traditional "Celtic Cross."
Unbeknownst to Andrews, within days, he would partner with
meteorologist Dr. Terence Meaden, NASA scientist Pat Delgado, and
the three of them, along with pilot Busty Taylor, would become
the only people in the world at the time researching the global
Crop Circle phenomenon. In 1989, the first book on the subject,
Circular Evidence, written by Delgado and Andrews, would become
known as the "Crop Circle Bible." Not only did the book cause
scientists and researchers to then take the matter seriously, but
it also unleashed a deluge of Crop Circle hoaxes, complicating
earnest study. When two older British gentlemen, Doug Bower and
Dave Chorley, came forward in 1990 claiming to have made all the
crop circles in England, the media and the public seemed to take
their word as reason enough to lay the mystery to rest. Yet, the
examples they and other hoaxers have provided as evidence don't
match the precision and completion times found in circles
considered authentic. While the hoaxers' techniques have become
more sophisticated and impressive over the years, the genuine
formations display characteristics that seem beyond the
reasonable capability for the short time in which real ones are
created. Authentic Crop Circles have many stalks bent in 90º
angles near the ground, with the stalks interwoven in a complex
fashion, anomalies found in the soil, precise lines in massive
formations, and no evidence of people walking to or around them.
Strange physiological effects like dizziness, nausea, euphoria,
time disturbance, and bizarre sounds, to name a few, have also
been reported by many who step inside one. However, most Crop
Circles, both real and faked, share in common one significant
trait – artistically, they employ design elements found in
"Sacred Geometry," with ratios composed with the "Golden Mean."
They are also often located near areas with ancient
archaeological sacred sites, and reports of their existence
appear to go back hundreds, if not thousands of years. So if the
creators, both earthly and beyond, remain a mystery, perhaps the
meaning behind the circles can be more easily fathomed. Whether
the lesson is a sociological or spiritual and metaphysical one,
wondrous Crop Circles do continue to exist and have a purpose.
They carry a message, which could be as simple as – pay attention
because you could learn something that will affect your
existence.
