Are crop circles man-made or a genuine mystery. Here's some of the best evidence for a paranormal phenomenon.
BALLS AND CLOUDS 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!"
OLIVER'S CASTLE VIDEO
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."
