AudioBlog: PART 2: A 1991 Crop Circle and UFO Investigation by ParaNet:MICAP

In 1986, Jim Speiser of Fountain Hills, Arizona, got the urge to
create an electronic forum dedicated to a discussion of paranormal
topics. He started a BBS (bulletin board system) using six personal
computers located at various locations in the U.S. and Canada
linked together with a Fidonet system. Speiser called his new BBS
“The ParaNet.” In the summer of 1991, there was a “spin-off” of
ParaNet named the Multi-national Investigations Cooperative on
Aerial Phenomena, and ParaNet published a magazine called Continuum
to get their investigations reports out to the public. The first
case in the Volume 1, Number 1, September 1991 issue involves an
investigation by James Black (who wrote the report) and Robert
Atwood of a simple crop circle that formed overnight starting on
August 21, 1991, in a cornfield in Iowa that led them to other
reports of strange activity in the area. The case became far more
complex than a simple crop circle report, and this has ended up
becoming a two-part blog. In the first part, we looked at the
investigation and three witness accounts, and in the second part,
we’ll look at one more account, the conclusions, and the aftermath,
which included poltergeist activity reported to have been
experienced by a fellow investigator at his home. Read more
