Jim Lyons, MSc, CEng, MIEE, CCCS Scientific

Consultant (1990-99)

Jim is an aeronautical and electrical engineer, formerly

He specialises in fluid dynamics and human computer interactions and their relationships with consciousness studies. The application of this work to the study of subtle energy fields and biofields has led to his interest in the crop circle phenomenon. He is currently a Senior Honorary Fellow at Hull University working on models of human, consciousness.

Terry Wilson, BSc., MSc., CCCS Scientific

Consultant.

Environment Science and Social Research as Plymouth

University. Interested in Philosophy and the Arts

Lucy Pringle

Former Vice-Chairman of the CCCS, she is currently chairman of UNEX Unexplained Phenomena Research Society). Her interest in crop circle phenomena has been concerned with studies on physical and psychological effects on human beings and animals, a field of research in which she has worked closely with Diana Clift. Author of Crop Circles: the greatest mystery of modern times, she has written and lectured widely on the subject.

Matthew Williams

A self-designated ‘land artist’, he claims chat, with collaborators, he has been responsible for making many crop formations in recent years.

His activities in the fields of Manor Farm, West Overton led to a prosecution by the farmer resulting in him being fined for committing criminal damage.

David G Hope

A respected member of the farming community in West Cambridgeshire, he was tenant farmer at Manor Farm near Peterborough for many years. Between 1990 and 997, when he retired, David’s fields were the scene of many crop formations and strange psychic effects which both he, members of the local ‘lying club and crop circle investigators observed.

Marcus Allen

He is UK Editor of Nexus Magazine. His concern with the unexplained and paranormal encompasses the crop circle phenomenon, so in 1994 Marcus produced a seminal paper on hoaxing Behind the Hoaxers —Physicist Scientists, Stompers and the Secret History of Circlefaking, and has been a leading investigator in these studies ever since, Earlier in his career Marcus taught as a school teacher in India and subsequently was in private business with a multi-national company.

Michael Green, RIBA, FSA

As an archaeologist he directed excavations of Whitehall and Westminster palaces, and for 35 years excavated a Roman Town, Duroviquvilla, in East Anglia. He lectured in ‘ancient symbolism’ at the Institute of Archaeology, London and it was in this capacity that he became interested in the crop circle phenomenon. He founded the Centre for Crop Circle Studies in 1990 as a research organisation and has held the posts successively of chairman and president. He has written, lectured and broadcast widely on the subject over the years.

The Centre for Crop Circle Studies

The CCCS was founded by Michael Green and the late Ralph Noyes in April 1990 in the belief that the crop circle phenomenon offers remarkable challenges to understanding which will only be met by drawing on a wide range of insights and expertise in many different fields, The principal objectives of the CCCS are to encourage this interdisciplinary approach and to ensure it is sustained by sound research and reliable information. In furtherance of these objectives the CCCS has established a comprehensive database containing the numbers, types, geographical distribution and incidence, worldwide, of crop circle occurrences, together with other factual information that seems relevant in the light of research. It has undertaken numerous studies, the results of which have been published through its magazine The Circular. Is encourages all those who have a serious interest in the phenomenon and share our objectives to join the CCCS or to affiliate with it,

THE SCIENTIFIC AND MEDICAL NETWORK

The Scientific and Medical Network is an informal international group consisting mainly of qualified scientists and doctors, together with psychologists, engineers, philosophers, therapists and many other professionals. The aim of the Network is to deepen understanding in science, medicine and education by fostering both rational analysis and intuitive insights. The Network was founded in 1973 and now has more than 2.000 Members in over 50 countries. It questions the assumptions of contemporary scientific and medical thinking, so often limited by exclusively materialistic reasoning.
