Eyewitnesses and Balls of Light
Several eyewitnesses to crop circles testify that they have seen strange balls or clouds of light in and around crop circles as they were being formed, and even some time after they were formed. In an article by Linda Moulton Howe, she quotes a witness who saw a bright light that seemed to come up out of the ground after he and a friend entered a large crop formation known as the Galaxy in 1994: "It was so bright, it lit up the hills in the background. It was bluish-white in color and about as big as the formation, fifty to sixty meters wide. The bright light formed some sort of cloud and it changed shape continuously as it hovered over the formation. After a couple of seconds, it rose at slow speed and disappeared into the darkness. My friend and I were totally flabbergasted!"
One of the most controversial crop circle videos, known as the Oliver's Castle Crop Circle Video, appears to show several swirling balls of light actually creating a formation in a field of grain. The video has been shown on TV documentaries several times. Although there are still some diehard believers, most experts who have analyzed the video concluded that it was a hoax - a clever computer-generated effect.
Another video shot in August, 1999, seems to show a ball of light at the Barbury Castle "dolphins" crop circle.
Urm Greene says that he had video evidence on a CD-ROM he is offering that shows "a British Army helicopter chasing and finally catching up to an small, glowing, pulsating UFO within a crop circle field."
Farther Out Ideas
There are some who say the evidence for the supernatural origin of crop circles lies in psychic connections.
Dreams and Psychic Connections. Joseph Mason, in his article "The Pleiades and the Seventh Ray on the Seventh Day," says that "Dreams and coincidences often seem to be related to crop circle formations." He then relates a well-known triangular crop circle near Barbury Castle in 1991 to a dream he had, the seven days of creation, the Holy Trinity, and the Pleiades star cluster. And Dee Finney claims that the 1999 Whitehorse crop circle appeared in a field while she was dreaming about it.
At "The Philosopher's Stone," Kris Weber Sherwood says that a snowflake-shaped crop formation, known as the Koch Fractal, at the foot of Silbury Hill in 1997, "was supremely layered with vast and interconnected meanings of profound significance; implicit in the timing, placement, design, and physical components. The genuine crop circle phenomenon has demonstrated its ability to be psycho-interactive with those giving their attention to it."
Psychics, they say, are particularly tuned in to crop circles. "Some area psychics began to pick up messages from some intelligence associated with the circles," says "Crop Circles: A Deeper Look", "predicting the very next formation; it's design and location. Sure enough, their predictions came true. This leads us to some other fascinating occurrences surrounding this phenomenon."
So What Creates Them?
The theories on what creates crop circles, if they are not manmade, are many and could make for another article. But some of the most common theories include whirlwind vortexes, plasma vortexes (the balls of light?), Earth energies, extraterrestrials, underground archaeology, sound vibrations, heavenly or demonic forces, and military experiments including microwaves.
If the anomalies listed above are real, a thorough, rigorously scientific examination of crop circles and their effects is called for to help unravel this mystery.
