Some researchers point out that on more than one occasion the formation of the crop circle was associated with a UFO sighting. It is easy to understand how a hovering or landed UFO could cause such indentions in the fields. On September 1, 1974, Edwin Fuhr was harvesting his fields when he noticed what appeared to be a metallic dome resting at the end of the field. He drove his harvester up to the object and got out. He noted that it was about 12 feet in diameter, five feet high, and spinning rapidly. It appeared to him to be hovering about a foot off of the ground. As he turned to return to the harvested he discovered that there were four more identical objects hovering adjacent to his machinery. After overcoming a period of paralysis, he returned to his harvester and was about to climb back in when the objects rose about 200 feet into the air, hovered briefly, and then quickly shot out of sight. He later said that ‘there was just a downward wind, no twirling wind. I had to hold onto my hat". When additional people arrived on the scene they noted the strange circular impressions that were formed in the fields where the objects had ‘landed’. More scientific studies of the crop circles after the fact have revealed some fascinating discoveries. On several occasions, interference with electronic equipment such as video recorders and tape recorders has been noted. High pitch warbling sounds have been recorded on the scenes in more than one instance. The American biophysicist W.C. Levengood has studied the broken plant stalks in detail. The nodes or knuckles of the plant stalks taken from within crop circles appear to be slightly swollen. Examination under a microscope has revealed that the cell-wall holes (through which the plants obtain nutrients) are stretched suggestive of rapid microwave heating. In addition, seeds taken from the affected crops tend to germinate ore vigorously than control samples. Meteorologist believe that the circles could be formed by the energetic breakdown of a standing, electrically charged whirlwind. Unlike traditional whirlwinds that suck in surrounding air through he base of a column of vertically rising air, these vortexes fall apart or collapse in a descending burst of violent wind. [b]Hoaxes?[/b] And of course there is evidence of hoaxing in some cases. Most researchers think of any crop circle formation more complex than a simple circle as indicative of a hoax. Researchers who are expert in crop circle studies can quickly spot a hoaxed formation. In 1991, Doug Bower and David Chorley, two English sexagenarians, claimed to have hoaxed more than 250 crop circles. Although to date they have failed to actually demonstrate the method they used, the description they offered detailed the use of string, rope, and a four-foot long wooden plank. Several of the circles they claimed to create were authenticated as actual crop circles by authorities. [pink][b]For all our so-called technology, there are still so many important questions that cannot be answered. We can clone a human being, but we cant explain what causes these "crop circles". Doesn't that strike you as just plain odd?[/b][/pink] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Heaven bent to take my hand, and lead me thru the fire.
