Michael Glickman will tell us the latest news about crop
circles on Dreamland June 1st. He writes in swirlednews.com
about the assertion, by crop circle researcher Colin Andrews,
that 80% of crop circles are made by human beings?despite
the fact that no one ever catches them doing it. It?s known
that some of the circles are made by hoaxers, but these can
be spotted because they?re simple and uneven. They also
don?t pass testing by Dr. Leavengood, who has found
that ?authentic? circles have the plant stems bent, not
broken, by some sort of high-energy heat (like a laser) and
that molecular changes have taken place in the plants and
seeds.
Glickman, who has lived for years in the region of the U.K.
near Stonehenge and Silbury Hill, where the most intricate
crop circles can be seen, believes that the Doug and Dave
disinformation, when a couple of U.K. artists claimed to have
made the circles, had 2 major results. ?First, it circulated the
ridiculous and still unsupported idea that these two old
scoundrels had been responsible for the crop circle
phenomenon, by implication, in its entirety. Secondly, and
wickedly, it humiliated the two leading researchers, Colin
Andrews and Pat Delgado, who had, with great personal
courage and sacrifice, dedicated themselves to research,
writing and lecturing on the subject. Delgado, wounded,
retired from the scene.?
Glickman believes that Colin Andrews, who dedicated his life
and reputation to finding out the truth about the circles, was
hurt the most and notes that, ?in conversation and in
interviews, he constantly reiterates the phrase ?We must be
careful??. [Andrews] launched a massive and comprehensive
media campaign suggesting that 80% of formations were
man-made..The 80% assertion remains substantially
unchecked and unchallenged and yet still is believed and
promoted by many senior figures in the crop circle world?He
said that 80% of crop circles were man-made. The evidence
for this (characterized as comprehensive and irrefutable)
would soon be available.? But no one in the crop circle
community has ever seen this evidence.
Glickman goes on to say, ?I am, like him, a crop circle
investigator. For some years now, I have worked to
catalogue hoaxed formations and it is my opinion that a
small amount are man-made. I believe this level has
increased over the last couple of years, but I would contend
that it is not very high.?
On Coast to Coast am with Art Bell, Richard Hoagland
said, ?? There is a gross misunderstanding of what Colin
said. He has never, ever said that 80% of all the crop circles
that have ever been made are made by human beings doing
it with boards and chains?They took out of context what he
said, specifically referring to commercialization: Companies
formed in England hired by TV documentary people and
commercial people and advertisement people to make crop
circles for Coors and all kinds of other people?And those are
the ones he was referring to.?
Later on, Art Bell asked Colin Andrews directly about his
statement. Andrews replied, ??I thank you for the
opportunity to state it clearly and perhaps a little bit more
concisely [that] approximately 80% of the formations that I
investigated in England and only England during the year
1999 and the year 2000 had all the hallmarks of a human
hand. A great deal of evidence certainly satisfied me, much
of it actually on film. We had private detectives, agencies
looking at people that we had suspected of making them.
But that was only, as I say, during that two-year period. It
left just under a quarter?completely inexplicable during that
two year period?[I ] realize there?s something extremely
profound occurring on our planet and?it?s been the story of
the last three decades that nobody?s been listening to, and
it?s still with us?.?
He also said, ?? Let?s not overlook those two major movies
that are coming up, someone, somewhere has decided that
whatever the core reason for the crop circle phenomenon is,
they?re going to use it for their own agenda.? He was
probably referring to the upcoming movie ?Signs,? starring
Mel Gibson. Note: See news story, ?Sneak Preview of Crop
Circle Movie?,click here.
Glickman?s conclusion? Andrews has not given us any
evidence to prove that 80% of the crop circles in any year
have been manmade. No one has ever figured out how
humans could have made them, especially in the short time
in which some of them have been created. There have been
instances where a pilot flew over an undisturbed field, then
flew back over it a few minutes later and saw that an
intricate circle was now there.
If people are behind the circles, they are extraordinary
human beings. Finding human crop circle makers would be
almost as amazing as finding evidence they?re being made
by aliens from another planet. These people would have to
be incredibly organized and fast and also incredibly well
educated in mathematics, music and sacred geometry. They
would need efficient tools that they invented or appropriated
with which to make the circles. Since it?s too much work for
one person?or even for a small group?a large number of
people would have to be capable of maintaining a high level
of secrecy over many years. And human manufacture does
not explain the sightings of balls of light in fields
immediately before the circles appear. These have been seen
by reputable researchers such as Linda Howe, who reports
about her experiences in ?Mysterious Lights & Crop Circles?,
click here.
Michael Glickman says that he is not so much interested in
who is behind the circles (since this is impossible to figure
out) as in what they are trying to tell us. In order to
interpret this, he analyzes the circles using the principles of
sacred geometry. To hear his latest conclusions, listen to
Dreamland on June 1st.
