Crop circles have appeared in a wheat field in Ontario, Canada shortly after a UFO was spotted in the sky nearby. Farmer Erv Willert found the circles this week while combining his wheat. “I’ve never seen anything like it,” he says. “One circle is laying one way and the other goes the other way. I don’t think anyone would do this, no one would have the energy.”

In the Clinton News-Record, Hilary Long quotes Paul Anderson, of the Canadian Crop Circles Research Network (CCCRN), as saying that “It could have been there for weeks.” Circles are often discovered at this time of year, when farmers return to their fields to combine their wheat. A Michigan farmer discovered three circles while running his combine in a wheat field.

The long hot summer, along with recent droughts, makes some scientists think global warming may be here with a vengeance. But the real sign of climate change will be when Europe gets colder, because the ocean current that warms it stops flowing up from the south. Now scientists are reporting that the Atlantic ocean has become unseasonably cold?is this a signal that sudden climate change has begun?

Warren Washington, of the National Center for Atmospheric Research, who helped create the Bush climate research plan says, “?One of the aspects we will be looking at carefully is what’s happening in the North Atlantic as the sea ice and glaciers melt and add fresh water to ocean circulation, and may change the transport of warm water in the Gulf Stream.”

Mitra Malek writes in the Herald Tribune that some scientists think giant gas bubbles in the Bermuda Triangle could be what is sucking ships down into the deep. Hollywood special effects artist Phil Beck, of Awesome FX, has recreated the phenomenon in order to test this theory.The Bermuda Triangle stretches from Florida to Bermuda and Puerto Rico. Many ships and airplanes have disappeared there, but no one can figure out why.

Beck forced compressed air through an underwater grid in the ocean, forcing bubbles to the surface. After five tries, he was able to suck a Sea Ray cruiser under the water. “The bow went up, the stern went down, and it went under,” he says. “I’ve sunk lots of boats, but I’ve always just blown holes in them.”
