Scientific Testing of Crop Circles
Andy Thomas reports in the Swirled News website: At last,
after years of public exposure to tantalizing extracts and
snippets of information on biological anomalies and other
strange effects in crop formations, the BLT Research group?s
work with W.C. Levengood and now other scientists has become
available to access online with the launch of the new BLT
website.
It is widely known that the best work into investigating
physical and biological effects in circle-affected crops has
been carried out or instigated by the BLT Research group, as
founded by John Burke, W C Levengood and Nancy Talbott in
the US back in the early 1990s. Nancy Talbott, in
particular, as its main coordinator, has been a great
ambassador for this work, touring with lectures and sharing
information (though all too often ignored) with the media.
But one of the cries often heard is, ?Where can we
personally get to read more about biological anomalies in
crop formations?? Until now, many had heard of the work of
BLT Research, but getting direct access to it was reserved
for the privileged few, not through any intention of the
founders, but simply through a lack of an easily accessible
public outlet to which people could be referred.
Now that outlet has arrived. The launch of the new BLT
website marks an important step in showing the world, to
those who don?t find ?science? a dirty word, that there are
scientific reasons as well as circumstantial to show that
many of the crop formations must have causes far beyond the
mundane.
The website contains a collection of the best reports
compiled by BLT on various crop formations over the years
and clearly lays out, with illustrations and photographs,
the many types of anomalies and other scientific
observations which have been identified. These categories,
shown with results and evidence, are couched in terms that
can be understood by the lay-person, but without diluting
the scientific approach for those wishing to scrutinize the
work in more detail. A history of the organization and its
step-by-step discoveries is given too, to put it all into
context.
For those who believe that showing scientifically that there
are clearly identifiable physical changes in circle-affected
crop is an important step in getting more of the world at
large (which seems to need such results to convince it) to
acknowledge the reality of the circle phenomenon as
something more than a joke, this website will be an
indispensable aid. Though BLT?s research may not yet have
revealed the ?guiding hand? many believe is at work, the
pointers to the possible physical processes involved, at
least, are a step in the right direction, and the detailed
results make a mockery of the plankers who arrogantly
believe THEY are responsible for all such effects. Read the
evidence for yourselves and see why that cannot possibly be
the case.
So next time the person who superciliously says to you,
?Yes, but there?s no scientific evidence for all this, is
there?? and puts on that smug smile, have the pleasure of
wiping it off their face by giving them the web address for
BLT Research, click here.
Andy says (and we agree), ?Swirled News is THE web site to
access for informed news and reviews on the current
happenings and discoveries in the world of crop circles,
supported by incisive and frank commentary, analysis,
opinion and humor, fighting skeptic propaganda with reason
and passion.?
