Crop Circles & Their Meaning?

[Martin]

From: www.globalconspiracy.co.uk

Explore the fascinating crop circle phenomenon in this new series. Each month's crop glyphs are examined and different researchers' interpretations illustrated of the messages often encoded within from astronomical alignments, to sacred geometry, future events foretold, and more... do major changes await the human race?

Badgers on acid, that's all there is to it.

But England did buy into the doug and dave theory,did it not?

[lee934]

LOL yeah doug and dave did it all, apparently.

Yes, they are all human concoctions...

Id like to see these being made,especially the Alien Face.With Milk Hill the pattern was repeated over and over again,not that that made it any less spectacular it was that and it was breathtaking in its beauty.But the one that staggered me was the Alien Face,its actually shaded,and that binary code,cripes Ill bet Ive spent more time pouring over this CC than any other,including Milk Hill.

An article and comments about a new crop cicle video......interesting.


Billy Cox writes about a DVD documentary called “What on Earth? Inside the Crop Circle Mystery� by Suzanne Taylor that was released this week. Interesting to note, the filmmaker herself comments on the article at the bottom.

Messengers cloud the message

Last week, without producing a single culprit, Physics World journal explained away crop circles as elaborate hoaxes using magnetrons, GPS and laser technology. Within days, De Void received a DVD documentary called “What on Earth? Inside the Crop Circle Mystery� by California filmmaker Suzanne Taylor, and it was officially released on Tuesday.

De Void tends to avoid the crop circle thing because it’s as unrewarding as UFOs and may well be part of the same thing. Excuse me, miss? My head hasn’t exploded in several months — can I order some chocolate cherry bombs off the menu, please? But Taylor has been at it for nearly 20 years now, and when something drops in your lap, doesn’t cost money, and doesn’t require any reading or effort to ingest, hey, as an American, I’m all in.

Taylor doesn’t present any definitive answers, either, but her slant skews toward non-human intelligence. Which is fine, unless you’re one of these people who thinks tangential associations can be problematic. Among the eclectic mix of folks receiving “Special Thanks� at the end credits, for instance, is conspiracy-addled “exopolitician� Alfred Webre. No reason to linger here, you can Google the guy and drawn your own conclusions.

There’s also a New Agey feel to the drama, and there’s nothing necessarily wrong with that. The things we’ll learn about quantum mechanics and the mind’s creative abilities over the next century will make today’s geniuses look Cro-Magnon. Still, for a cheerleading project that aspires to broaden the debate, the “What on Earth?� range of characters can be a distraction. There are architects and dowsers and philosophers and geometers and computer geeks and musicians and mystics, some with names like Stanley Messenger and Baroness Edmee di Pauli. It’s a little like watching one of those Larry King UFO panels that cram too many people into a space so small you’re left with a residue of stereotypes and cliches (“Are we being prepared for contact?� “Once you lose your link with nature, you lose your link with God.�)

That said, “What on Earth?� is still worth a look, if for no other reason than the attention it swings onto the swirl of baffling symbolic mathematics pressed upon the fields. Filmed primarily in southern England, the 81-minute glimpse at a mystery that has transformed not only rural countrysides but their adjacent communities is a legitimate appeal for someone — or something — to step forward.

Taylor contrasts the crude crop circles by confessed hoaxers Doug Bower and Dave Chorley, as well as those of London pranksters calling themselves Team Satan, with the infinitely more sophisticated tapestries for which no credit has been claimed. The established hoaxes and the unresolved pictograms are worlds apart. And the geometry, the pi ratios, the vesicas, the squared circles, octagons, cubes, this fusion of art with math, so precise and exacting — to what end do they serve?

What’s the motive? More than 20 years of evolving sophistication under cover of night and no one’s broken ranks? Who’s running this show? The Mafia? Grover Norquist?

But can we ever truly separate the messenger from the message?

Among the many analysts Taylor relies upon is Nick Kollerstrom, whose line-diagram reconstructions at Crop Circle Geometry “aim to help ordinary students to learn mathematics, in a unique approach that is artistic as well as intellectual.� Superficially, anyway, it seems dispassionate and reasonable.

But what Taylor doesn’t tell us is that the British science writer and historian lost his fellowship at University College London in 2008 for his contention that the Auschwitz gas chambers were only used for disinfectant and hygiene. Kollerson has also argued the 2007 London subway bombings were an inside job, not the product of Muslim fanatics. Maybe this is all irrelevant to Taylor’s documentary. But Kollerson’s many critics today refer to his work as “crap circles.� Do his politics invalidate his geometry? Certainly they’ve allowed the uninformed to discredit the whole phenomenon with broad strokes.

In the end, “What on Earth?� puts us back where we started. There’s more work to be done here, but it must be rigorous. And fearless. As one witness tells Taylor, “What drives us mad� about the crop circle creators is “the fact that they don’t want anything, they’re not selling anything.� In this ego-driven day and age, that fact alone is a breath of fresh air. Not even the notoriously reclusive Unabomber, whose very freedom was contingent upon anonymity, could resist the temptation to show the world how smart he was.

I’m your filmmaker and wish you hadn’t noticed those associations. Alfred Webre is way off most of my charts, but he was a friend before either of us were into any of our current pursuits and he helped me with some connections in making the film. What a shame that Nick Kollerstrom has ranged afield of the circles, because he is brilliant at the geometry — if school kids learned from his online course http://hypermaths.org/cropcircles, they would have a passion for geometry, and he makes an intelligent critique in my movie of our contracted worldview.

Glad you liked with you did. Your readers might enjoy a 4 part webinar I’m hosting about the circles for Evolver Intensives, starting August 20th. It’s a very imaginative course, where will go way beyond the nuts and bolts of the phenomenon into how the circles relate to the universe and what their implications could be: http://evolverintensives.com/upcoming/personal-planetary-transformation.html

Re Physics World, their explanation was so preposterous that I thought it might create a backlash, where, seeing how ridiculous the debunkers are, people would take a fresh look at the evidence and see that the whole phenomenon can’t be explained away.
