Comments Regarding 2009 National Geographic TV Crop Circle Show

(being shot by Zig-Zag Productions)

by

Nancy Talbott

BLT Research Team Inc. 

Tom Barry, a British filmmaker working for Zig-Zag Productions, called me in May, 2009, asking about the possibility of my participation in a new crop circle film he had been assigned to produce for National Geographic TV. Mr. Barry was apparently unaware that National Geographic TV has aired several crop circle pieces in the past and that I—representing the BLT Research Team--had been involved in one that aired in 2005.  He seemed uninformed regarding the circle phenomenon generally, and apparently did not know that I had been both sincerely surprised by the overtly biased treatment accorded the scientific research conducted and published by members of the BLT Team in the '05 National Geographic TV crop circle show (www.bltresearch.com).  

I told Mr. Barry that I felt that both the phenomenon and our work had been inordinately misrepresented and, therefore, asked him if he could provide me with assurance that his proposed effort would be a fair and unbiased presentation?  Specifically, I asked him if he could provide me with a "final cut" of his film prior to its being aired—along with the written assurance that I would have the right to withdraw all parts of my interview and any graphic materials provided by me or BLT if I felt the final product was either willfully skewed or disrespectful of the BLT work or, in particular, the scientists involved.

I did not hear from Mr. Barry for several weeks, during which time I did hear from multiple other crop circle enthusiasts, who expressed their concerns regarding the content of this new show. I did finally receive an email from Mr. Barry telling me that he no longer plans to shoot here in the U.S. and will film only in the UK.  He also suggested he would pay all of my expenses to come to the UK--but he did not respond to my questions about fair representation. Given Nat.Geo's past "coverage" of the circle phenomenon,  this omission seems to be a very clear red flag.

Then on June 24th Mr. Barry called to tell me that the executives at Nat. Geo. had refused to provide a written statement that the new film would provide an unbiased approach to the phenomenon or the BLT work, but that he was moving ahead anyway.  Because of Nat. Geo's previous superficial, flippant presentations—and because I have no way of knowing that this new production will be either respectful or accurate—I decided not to participate.

If any readers are concerned (as I am) that this new project may again present a biased portrayal of the phenomenon you may want to express your concerns (before the film is presented publicly) to the Executive Producer at Zig-Zag Productions or to Mr. Sydney Suissa, the Executive VP in charge of Content at Nat. Geo. Channels Intn'l, or to other responsible individuals at National Geographic TV:

Zig-Zag Productions

Many people within the crop circle community may have been approached by Tom Barry of Zig-Zag Productions, an independent production company that has been commissioned on behalf of the National Geographic channel " to make a one hour documentary about Crop Circles, which we hope to film this summer in the UK and abroad. It’s part of a series where we examine other well known mysteries or phenomena, such as the Lost City of Atlantis, Bermuda Triangle - to name just a few - with the emphasis on possible scientific explanations behind them." 

After originally approaching me regarding my scientific findings, on being questioned, Tom Barry then told me that the programme might have a broader remit!   

Since then I have repeatedly asked Tom Barry for written assurances that no crop circles will be commissioned, or hoaxers interviewed and that indeed the programme will be science and only science based. The man made aspect is not part of the genuine phenomenon. To date I have received no such written or even verbal assurances. 

Tom Barry tells me that they are due to start filming in about two weeks time and many of you may be considering participating. 

However I have decided not to take part as I do not consider the programme will in any way advance either the genuine crop circle phenomenon or my work. In making this decision I have also taken into consideration the bad experience I suffered with another production company working for the National Geographic in 2007. http://www.lucypringle.co.uk/news/natgeog.shtml

Esoteric design canons of the megalithic builders
 - divining the  Rollright Ring
Just a wee reminder for those who are interested about Dowsing Rollright environs on JULY 18th Meet at 10.30 am in the Rollright stone circle. Any questions please email or phone 01672 511427. Look forward to seeing you. Here's a taster of some of the energies we will be exploring.... 

Detect and interact with polarised form energy - all circles generate form energy which is exceptionally powerful at Rollright (ruinous stone circles such as Avebury do not have this type of energy). 

Ley triangulation - the stones form a powerful band of energy at Rollright which was discovered by Dennis Wheatley 

Earth energies - pagan earth lines 

MEGALITHIC POWER 

Cardinal rays - stones throw out linear lines of power which align to the cardinal points 

Stones also create powerful patterns called shells and we will located these within the circle 

See how the stone's can change their polarity before your eyes. 

Close to the stone circle is a fault line - we will also divine this area for surface energy. 

If open, we will visit a local church and look for Templar and Masonic design canons.

Crop Circles in Jones County Texas-Late March 2009

I (and my son) witnessed crop circles in a field in Jones County, Texas on Friday, March 27 at 1:33 pm (CDT). I took five pictures, but as the angle was low, the phenomenon is not clear. I have since looked for any report or other photos of this, but have found none. Google Earth has outdated photos of the area. Do you know of any websites that update their satellite pictures or are real time?

UFO incident reported on the front page of UK's biggest selling newspaper. (Thursday 8th January 2009).

 Here is the Sun's web page on the incident. 

 
The latest news is that the broken off blade has been found on the wind farm site.
 
Nick Pope (UK UFO expert) says in the Sun "This could be one of most significant UFO incidents for years. If something collided with the wind turbine, as seems certain, there may be residue on the damaged parts that could help solve this mystery. In the last two months there have been two near collisions between UFO's and police helicopters, and now this."

A wonderful new Crop Circle Research centre opens its doors. 

The new Silent Circle crop circle centre was opened Sunday 27th April in an annex next to the White Horse Inn, in the beautiful village of Compton Bassett, Wiltshire. It was well attended by many crop circle researchers and enthusiasts including Francine Blake and Stuart Dike and many more. The sunny day meant many people could sit in the wonderful beer garden, which is directly outside the centre. Children and adults played the French game of Boules which is set up in the garden. 

The centre has a wide range of information facilities and a large stock of pertinent books, DVDs magazines, photography, fine crafts, crystals, gifts and a lot more besides. 

There are computers operating for anyone to use and a Wi-Fi facility. 

There are also maps on the walls of the area, with  stickers to show people the location of this seasons crop circles. 

There are already many speaking events to be held at the centre this summer. At least eight speakers are already booked. There will also be field trips and night watching organized by Charles Mallet. 

All in all this should mean that the Silent Circle will be the social hub for most of the visitors to the Wiltshire crop circles this summer.

What has happened to the National Geographical?

In the spring of 2007 I was approached by North One Television to appear in a programme they were producing on behalf of the National Geographic called `I Didn’t Know That`. One of the subjects to be investigated was crop circles. I made careful enquiries as to the content of this programme and their approach to the subject. I was told they were interested in the scientific aspect and the work I had conducted in this area.

I also asked if I was going to be the only person interviewed and was told that I was the only person. As I have grown increasingly sceptical about the motives behind so called `scientifically` based programmes` I felt it was necessary to obtain this assurance.

The interview was conducted in the Yatesbury barley formation, nr Avebury Trusloe. Not long after I questioned North One Television about a crop formation that had appeared in an obscure corner of a field near Yatesbury. They admitted that they had commissioned this circle to be made.

Clearly I was not the only person to be interviewed.

Worse still was to come when I was sent the CD of the programme. National Geographical CD, © NGC Network LLC. Produced by North One Television Midlands. (After it had been released and shown to the public).

In the Introduction we are told that this programme is going to reveal surprising facts that are guaranteed to make you say `I didn’t know that .` We are then introduced to two industrial scientists Richard Ambrose and Johnny Phillips `who don’t mind getting their hands dirty when it comes to establishing the facts`.

There were three trailers during the programme; the first one says `strange goings on the night. What really creates crop circles? And then proceeds to show men in the field making the commissioned man made formation.

The second trailer titled `Still to come` asks `Are aliens the designers of these amazing crop circles?` shows two stills of the 22 June 2006 Lurkley Hill, Nr Lockeridge and the 23 June 2006 Windmill Hill circle. It also shows men in dark clothes lurking in the darkness in a field and hedgerow thus giving the unmistakable impression of human involvement.

The third trailer shows us Richard Ambrose putting forward several theories, some fairly ridiculous as to the origin of crop circles. Following this I come on and speak for 42 seconds. Using clever photography it then shows me distorted and looking an idiot.

No mention was made of my research.

Next we see John Lundberg, Will ? and Robert Irwin assembling in the field of wheat with their planks and a 100 metre surveyors measuring tape; the tools they need to construct the circle.
To add insult to injury, presenter Richard Ambrose then joins the trio and proceeds to take part in stomping down the wheat. All this takes approx: 2 and a half minutes of viewing time.

When I queried why one the trailers had shown the commissioned circle being made I was told `That is what the public wants to see`.

I would suggest that the general public wants to hear the truth and that the announcement at the beginning of the film that they were going to `establish the facts` was just as dishonourable and dishonest as the producers had been to me. We all know that man made formations do exist, but why do programme producers run scared of revealing the scientific facts and figures that show beyond all doubt that a real phenomenon exists. Of what are they frightened or what is their hidden agenda for concealing this information?

I believe I was misled into appearing in a programme that not only was heavily weighted in favour of the man made element but was also disinterested in presenting the public with any scientific research results.

There was a time when the programmes produced by or for the National Geographic were programmes of scientific integrity and fact. They were a scion of truth. Sadly this is no longer the case, they are as bad as the worst tabloids pandering to what they consider the public wants to see and hear. They are no longer to be trusted with the truth.

CHASING THE MAGDALENE

By Cynthia Berresse Ploski

www.chasingthemagdalene.com

ISBN 0-9707904-4-6  $16.95

Two American college roommates, a British Tour Guide and an Australian tourist join in a journey to the south of France. There, they investigate the legend that Mary Magdalene spent the last 30 years of her life in Provence and Languedoc, spreading the Gospel that she learned intimately from the lips of Jesus.
While the information they uncovered pre-dated the release of The D
aVinci Code, it basically confirmed the information later published in that book.
Part adventurous travelogue, part esoteric illuminations, part surprising unveiling of early Christianity, and also part an imaginary account of the last few days of Mary Magdalene's life in a mountain cave, this book is a lively account of Cynthia Berresse Ploski's journey of discovery. She sees it through the eyes of an artist, a serious researcher and an appreciator of culinary delights. It is written for people who wish to know, but who do not desire to comb through endless catacombs of dusty scholarly tomes to search out the same information that is presented easily and colorfully in Chasing the Magdalene.

IN MEMORY OF PAUL JENNIS

Dear Mark, I'm Tania from Belgium. I found a photo of my boyfriend on the site from July 2002. His name was Paul Jennis. I don't know that he was a member. I know that we look at the latest crop circles every time we were together and that he had a lot of information and books so I think he was a member. It was a passion of him that I shared. I don't know that he had contacts or friends on the site but if so , I would like to let them know that Pol (Paul) has died last October 2005 after a Job accident. Everyone who would like to contact me about Paul and was close to him, is free to mail me. In memory of him, and my love to him, this is the only way I can reach His friends in the UK (if there are some). Thank you for all the good times he had in the UK and for making him happy with visiting your site. Good luck and thank you in his name....... Tania

     The Season Ends for the Circle Chasers.

 The season finally comes to an end for the Circle Chasers video team as they complete the filming below the ancient Uffington White Horse. The 2005 season turned out to be a very exciting one and was a joy to film. We now turn to the editing of ‘Circle Chasers 2005’ which we hope to complete as soon as possible in order to have the new DVD completed by December.

The new DVD will also include a bonus feature on the 2000 season.



 

On the 2nd July 2005 The Silent Circle Cafe re-opened.

We wish the cafe all the success for the coming years and recommend all visitors to the circles to pop into the cafe for information and to meet like minded people.

Jaime Maussan presented a short lecture at the Crop Circle Conference 2005 hosted by the Crop Circle Study Group with the assistance of Crop Circle Connector and material from their site. Jaime Maussan flew from Mexico specifically to visit the Wayland Smithy formation because of its Mayan connection. With Crop Circle Connector, he was researching this circle when he was astounded to hear of a new event that had occurred overnight in a neighbouring field below Uffington Castle which also had Mayan connections. He also visited Silbury Hill which he considered had similarities with Mayan and Aztec civilisations.

An enjoyable evening had by one and all at Alton Barnes 

This years Crop Connectors ‘Evening with the Phenomenon – Circle Chasers 2005’ held last Wednesday on the 27th of July at Alton Barnes was very well attended. The speakers Francine Blake and Janet Ossebaard  were very well received. The showing of part of ‘Circle Chasers 2004’ and a preview of ‘Circle Chasers 2005’ were also much appreciated by the people in the crowded hall. Everyone seemed to have an enjoyable evening. We hope to hold this event again next year in 2006.

LucyPringle writes:
Dear Sir

Feature writer Andrew Yates telephoned me on Thursday evening, 14 July 2005 to ask if the pictures of crop circles that I had submitted to the Daily Mail were all in the south of England. 

I asked him to include a short piece in his editorial about my long standing research in to the effects of electromagnetic fields in living systems; for example changes in both brain activity, hormone levels and protein levels on seeds that were to be found in genuine crop circles. He refused, saying it was only going to be a very short piece. I then asked him to tell me what had been written and he replied just a couple of paragraphs saying that these formations were to be found in the fields in Southern England.  At no time did he tell me that he had written that crop circles were `now known to be intricate works of human art designed using computer technology`. On reflection, I can now see why did not reveal what he had written and why he refused to include my work on electromagnet fields on living systems as it would have been in direct conflict with his editorial. 

Also I would like to point out that the images were not taken from 2005 only, half of them were from the late summer of 2004 and all this information was clearly displayed on the back of each print. 

I have had very many happy years of association with the Daily Mail working with people of integrity who researched their subject correctly instead of making bald statements for which they have no evidence and which in consequence unfortunately mislead both the public and their readership.

Cuxham, nr Watlington ,Oxfordshire, Reported 28th June.

First aerial shots of the CIRCULAR Crop Circle at Cuxham from Andrew King.


PRODUCTION REPORT; BOREHAM WOOD, NR LOCKERIDGE, WILTSHIRE  

On this humid night, in front of the large trees of West Woods we filmed this curious formation. A slight departure to what has gone before it, as this shape appears to have some ancient quality to its overall design.  

As we entered the formation, we immediately noticed something extremely odd!  The entire outer section of the crop had been shredded, as if the farmer had come in and defaced just this part of the design. However this unusual episode became even more bizarre, as the inner design to the formation had been left totally intact. Even the four petal shapes around the perimeter had been completely untouched. Whoever had come in and cut the already downed crop had clearly enough respect for the entire design.   

This kind of event is extremely rare. In my 15 years of research I have only encountered this twice, and this was the second time! It reminded me of the galaxy formation along the Avebury Avenue in 1994, which had its entire internal detail cut out, leaving the overall outline intact.   

Whatever was around the outer part to this odd design, wasn't around for long. We can only think of two scenarios for this eccentric act.  

Firstly, the farmer may have come into the formation, and wanted to spoil the design for the researchers and general public. However nobody from the road could tell if the formation had been defaced, as the entire shape could still be clearly visible. So it would defeat any object to keep people away. 

Secondly, whatever information was available within the outer edge of the pattern was so sensitive that it had to be removed very quickly. Conspiracies can rise from such a notion, very much like what happened in 1994 at the Avebury Avenue. Once again we can only speculate on what really took place and for what reasons? 

The filming was a great success, as the warm light created excellent opportunities for dramatic shots. We only spent around one and one half hours at the site as the light was fading. However that was enough time to take pole shots, carry out a little presenting and film some atmospheric shots across the formation.




    





Even the area around the Beckhampton Formation is off limits. 



We were turned away from an area not far from the Beckhampton formation as we tried to take some video shots from a nearby ancient Tumuli. We had walked up to the Tumuli on what appeared to us as a footpath. We explained to the farmer and his wife that we had no intention of going into any of his crop fields. He explained we were on his land, and it was not a footpath. We had  a pleasant conversation with him and his wife, we then left. I am afraid a lot of people visiting the area in July are going to think as we did that this is a footpath and will be keen to get a closer look at this impressive and massive formation. The farmer will either have to put up a ‘No Trespassing’ sign or others are bound make the same mistake. The farmer also raised concerns regarding low flying helicopters upsetting his cattle in the nearby field. All in all the location of this formation is certainly putting stress on the relationships between this farmer and the crop circle enthusiasts. We suggested to him that charging people to enter would refund his crop loss but he said he had not got the time to organise this. This no doubt will be an ongoing issue with some of the farmers. Even as we had turned our cars and were driving back along the main road we noticed someone on a motor bike had parked and was about to go and look at the formation. We warned him of the farmer’s wishes. I am afraid we won’t be there the next time to hold people back.


     UNCONVENTIONAL SHAPE ON SECOND DAY OF PRODUCTION

MILK HILL, NR STANTON ST BERNARD, WILTSHIRE  29th May 2005  

Our second location found us at a very controversial shape, which appeared some weeks after the first event on the 1st of May. Both designs couldn't have been more contrasting, which meant that we had to show a level of caution towards this event. However it didn't actually stop us from covering the event in our normal way.  We did experience some rather lengthily and frustrating lighting problems due to the weather conditions. Sunshine and cloud can often cause delays with the shooting of the production. We sometime take hours to cover just one formation. Our shots from the air were very successful.


















     A CARPET OF YELLOW ON FIRST DAY OF PRODUCTION.

GOLDEN BALL HILL, WILTSHIRE  1st May 2005 

We were suddenly thrown into an early new crop circle season in Wiltshire this year, which filled us with great excitement and anticipation. What isn't surprising was the choice of crop for the first formation. Oil Seed Rape is really the only crop that can be used as a canvas at this time of year. However its flowers create the most photogenic crop of the entire summer, due to its radiant bright yellow colour. 

The weather was kind to us on this day, as the ground was dry. We were unable to enter the formation on  the ground, due to our respect towards this Farmer and our responsibility with regard to our readership. Last year, this particular Farmer wasn't happy about having a formation on this land, and he actually called the police. Well this was also the case in 2005, as other people found to their cost. We believe no arrests were made.  

It really is quite an exercise to set out for the day shooting formations from the air and ground. Our biggest obstacle is the weather, as we quickly have to gauge whether we fly first, either in the morning, or wait until the evening. On this particular weekend, there had been thunderstorms the day before, so we were unsure about the weather. As we were unable to enter the formation, all of the Presenting work took place from both sides of the valley, including the top of Golden Ball Hill, (as you can see from the images on the left).  

For the 2005 production, we create different ways to capture the atmosphere of the season, as this is vitally important to understand what its like to follow this enigmatic phenomenon as it appears. So we experiment with different shots of the formation within the landscape, because its not always about what has formed within the field, but also its location, and its possible connection to historical sites in the area. This is one of our goals within the production of Circle chasers 2005. Its important that each location we film retains its own characteristics to keep it fresh and inventive.

TOLKIEN: FICTION OR REALITY?

A new article from the Dutch Crop Circle researcher Janet Ossebaard
with a new insights linking the circles with Tolkien's world.


By Janet Ossebaard


The New Physics of Consciousness


 

David Ash B.Sc. Cert. Ed. is a provocative, fun teacher of physics with an easy understanding of the Universe. Come and be amazed at his extraordinary worldview.

From his new book, The Power of Physics David will provide you with a bridge between science and the supernormal. Mass, magnetism and metaphysics, the quantum and crop formations, electrons, protons and extra-terrestrials, alternative medicine, Universal Consciousness and nuclear physics all fit into the new physics of consciousness. 

People are tired of fuzzy new age thinking and vague quantum apologetics. Smug sceptics and arrogant experts irk them.  The time is now for a new all embracing view of the phenomenal world that is clear, sharp and grounded in solid science; a science that challenges materialism and embraces the spirit. 

In an evening you will never forget, David will inspire your mind with his science and touch your heart with his songs. He will not just talk about the other worlds; he will take you there with his music and meditation.

I love watching excellent video footage of crop circles (especially from the air). Combine the exquisite shapes and patterns of the formations with the rippling effects of the wind upon the crop, add some really nice music to suit and throw in lots of valuable local and historical information and – presto! – Before you know it, you have another great DVD on the subject.  This one comes with a cute map of what was where in 2003, and I was pleased to find the film footage of 2002 crop circle formations also on the DVD, Great Job, Stuart: I hope you make this an annual product!

SECRETS IN THE FIELDS: THE SCIENCE AND MYSTICISM OF CROP CIRCLES. By Freddy Silva

Pub. Hampton Roads, 336pp, with over 400 photos, diagrams, and pictograms, in colour and black & white.

Secrets in the Fields is the most comprehensive, multi-disciplinary study ever undertaken of this phenomenon, the conclusion of 11 years of research.

Among the many topics discussed: Why are crop circles interacting with the Earth's magnetic grid? How do sound and light create them? What do they imprint into the Earth and its living organisms? Why are they here and why now? Who or what is behind them?

It's a reminder of our past. And a signpost to where we are headed.

What are crop circles?  Where and when do they appear?  What could be making them?  What strange effects surround them?  What do they mean?  Why is it many formations simply cannot be hoaxes?  VITAL SIGNS is the ultimate guide to crop circles for newcomers and an essential summary for those already entranced, including the most complete chronological account of the crop circle mystery available.

REVIEW

by Melanie Gambrill & Lyn Collin

Update Tuesday 15th January 2002

Witnessing the creation of a real crop formation.

by Nikki Saville

1998 saw a proliferation of magnificent crop formations. Perhaps the most significant event from that year was the arrival of a huge and extremely complex seven-fold design at Tawnsmead Copse, Nr Alton Barns, Wiltshire. What makes this event even more perplexing is the fact that the glyph was seen arriving at the scene under extremely bizarre circumstances.  Multiple light anomalies were observed which culminated in the actual 400’ft Patten emerging under a full moon in front of the witnesses.


WHO MAKES THE CROP CIRCLES?
 by
Tony Hathway.

A group of dowsers have found distinguishing features
in complex crop formation. Water veins follow the
outline of the design and similar patterns of earth
energies are found beneath and above the surface.
changes have also been found in the moisture
content of the soil and in the auras of the seeds heads.
This article by Tony Hathway examines the findings and also
questions "Who Makes the Crop Circles"
