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.
See the photos of the ECs that make the crop
circles... and read the book that tells the story.
Lineage
is Nancy Burson's account of her journey with the ECs and her
mission to familiarize humans with interstellar contact.
Discover how the magnificence of last
summer's circles came to reveal the wonder of interplay between
humans and Light Beings that is the focus of
Lineage.
For those unacquainted with the book, it is Burson's journey of
faith and trust that her EC houseguests are here for all of us!
2007 was to be a year like no other for the crop circle phenomenon.
Once again our continuing adventures took us across the
landscape to follow
these astonishing patterns as they unfolded. The team was guided
through the remarkable geometry of this years formations which
indicated the mystical elements encoded within.
Welcome to the new website: Crop
Circles and More (CCaM) – a quantum leap forward in Crop
Circle research.
CCaM adds new dimensions to the mysterious crop circle
phenomenon. It opens the doorway to the “bigger picture” of crop
circles by displaying the interconnectiveness of space
(location, shape, geometry) and time (years and dates) of crop
circles and much, much more. This web site will in the end bring
us much closer to, or possibly give us, the final answer to the
crop circle mystery. Every one of you is needed to find this
answer.
Welcome to CCaM.
Dive with us into the new dimensions of crop circle research.
This is the ninth in
a series of year books by (photographer)
Steve Alexander
and (writer)
Karen Alexander
portraying the beautiful and mysterious crop circle phenomenon
within the UK. This popular series of full colour,
fine-art-reproduction books are privately published in limited
numbers and come to you directly from the authors, they have become
an invaluable and magical window into the fields of southern
England, and are the only annually published books on the subject.
This Special Edition,
with more pages (32) than previous years, combines inspirational
aerial imagery with though provoking text to create a unique book
full of the ambience mood and atmosphere of this amazing phenomenon.
This special edition celebrates one of the most prolific seasons to
date! This is one of the most stunning Year Books we have published.
The book is 11.8 x
8.6 inches (30 x 22cm, A4 size), with 32 pages (not including front
and back covers). Each book is sent in a sealed plastic wrapper
within a board-backed envelope to make sure it reaches you in
perfect condition.
This is an important
edition for us, as we need to raise funds to keep recording the crop
circles in 2008. Your support is very much appreciated.
Silent Circle Café
ANNOUNCEMENT
November 28 2007
The Silent Circle
Café is moving from its current site at Cherhill Wiltshire.
The café and
Crop Circle information facilities will be re-housed in a vastly
superior setting for the start of the 2008 season. Keep an eye on
www.silentcircle.co.uk for updates and related news.
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.
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.

After a wonderful hour and
half flight on a beautifully sunny day this
summer of 2007, David Russell fell on exiting
the aircraft. Although denying any serious
damage and not appearing badly hurt at the time,
he subsequently died as a result of those
injuries.
He was born on the 14 May
1922, and grew up in Malaysia and Hong Kong. He
was educated at Hurstpierpoint College.
As an 18 year old he
qualified as a Wellington bomber pilot. He was a
rear gunner and pilot from 1940- 1947. He was
also present at the Japanese surrender in
Meiktila.
He flew a Meteor jet in 1950
and also gained fourth place at Silverstone in
an amateur Bentley race.
He studied architecture and
archaeology at Manchester University and was a
founder member of the famous Weald and Downland
Open Air Museum near Chichester in 1967.
He was an enthusiastic sailor
and took up skiing at 60. He took up flying
again in 1997.
He was an expert dowser and
keenly interested in the crop circle
phenomenon. His love of life was infectious and
as one of the most loved and respected of people
he will be sorely missed by all who knew him. `
`He was a gentle and talented man who always had time for
others.`
Condolences may be sent to his son Robert Russell, Old
House, Ashhurst, West Sussex BN44 3AR, UK
Thank you Lucy Pringle for your info.
Police Appeal
Police in the Kennet area of
Wiltshire are advising visitors to crop circles and
isolated historic sites in the area to be on their
guard.
In recent weeks a spate of thefts
from motor vehicles have been reported by visitors to
many of the sites in Kennet, especially near to Alton
Barnes, Avebury, Savernake Forest and Clench Common.
Visitors should ensure all windows
are closed and that their vehicles are securely locked
when unattended. They should ensure that they take all
items of any value with them. Visitors should not leave
handbags, hold alls, coats and other items in the cars
if possible, even if they take the trouble to conceal
them. The thieves know all the tricks that people use!
Visitors should not bring anything valuable to these
sites that they can not easily carry with them when they
leave their vehicles.
The misery and inconvenience that
such crimes cause to the victims is very considerable
and local police patrols are being increased in the
areas to try and deter the culprits. Crime reduction
information is also being supplied at the sites but this
should not encourage visitors to be more complacent
about security.
The simple message is that visitors
may feel that they are in the rural idyllic countryside
when they visit such sites. However, this does not
automatically mean that they should be less mindful
about the security of their possessions and vehicles.
The same common sense measures that motorists might take
if they were to park in an inner city area should be
adhered to at these rural sites as well.
It was our friend Nick Nicholson's
70th birthday celebration this week, which was held at
the Silent Circle Cafe. We wish him many more happy
years circling with us. He has been running his
The
Circular Review magazine for several years and is a
keen circle photographer.

The Crop Circles of 2006
Latest Film
by Steve
Alexander,
Rob Luckins
& Karen Alexander
Many films have
been made about the crop circles; often documentary-style overviews of
the subject matter, or a particular season. However, this film offers
something different. With no commentary or narrative, this film is a
visual feast of still images and stunning helicopter footage set to an
atmospheric soundtrack - the film takes you on a journey through the
fields of southern England and in and around some of the best crop
circles of 2006. This is the third film from the Temporary Temples Team
who bring an artistic sensibility to their reportage of the crop circle
phenomenon.
A good
comprehensive collection of photographs you can put in a photo album
and show to your friends. This photo-set is a great way to introduce
and amaze people who have not been exposed to the crop circle
phenomenon before! All photos are 7 x 5 inches (18 x 13cm) in size,
with a glossy finish. Date, location, and crop type, are detailed
on the reverse of each photo. Featured are; the stunning oilseed
rape formation at Oliver’s Castle; the Serpent at Westbury White
Horse; the West Kennett Longbarrow 3-D tunnel which featured in the
UK national press. The East Field 800ft+ formation, which appeared
after an intense flash of light was recorded and witnessed over the
field. The exquisite Butterfly formation; the amazing star-fractal
at Tidcombe Down - where a ball of light was caught on film. Also
included, the Sugar Hill 'cubes' formation, and the season Grand
Finale at West Overton. 2007 was probably the most memorable year to
date for the number and quality of formations. Have your record of
this years events by purchasing this set of photos for a special

CCCRN is pleased to
announce the opening of the Canadian Crop Circle Research
Museum exhibit in Estevan, Saskatchewan, a project of The
City of Estevan and the Estevan Tourism Committee. In
southeast Saskatchewan, one of the country's long-running
hotspot regions for crop circle formations, Estevan is an
excellent location. Currently part of the City of Estevan’s
Golden Anniversary Celebration (June 30), the display will
then become part of the Souris Valley Museum. CCCRN is
providing images, statistics and other information for the
displays, and will continue to consult with CCCRM with a
focus on historical cases and scientific evidence.

Work
has just begun at Silbury Hill to fill in the tunnels that
were dug into the hill over the last centuries. The work
will take about four months and involves filling in the
tunnels with similar chalk. If anything is seen that raises
the possibility of a find during this work it will be
investigated even if it means adding more time to the works

Crop
Circles working Protocol ver. 2007
Presented
at the
"UFO World
Conference
San Marino " 2007
The 2007 versionof the “Crop Circles” Protocol for field surveys is a handbook
with 3 levels of analysis for field research and laboratory testing. The
three levels of analysis have been introduced, compared with the previous
version, in order to obtain results with both a minimum amount of equipment
and when researchers have additional time and resources at their disposal. Level
1 may be defined as a “quick test”. Testing the elongation of the
“apical node”, the expulsion of nodes 2 and 3 and the possible presence
of significant amounts of magnetite and haematite may already indicate
the presence of anomalies. The research could therefore end at this first
level. If one has more time (an hour to an hour and a half) it is possible
to move on to Level 2, the interview with witnesses, which serves
to gather interesting data in order to evaluate the phenomenon, such as
the observation of strange lights or unusual phenomena. For this part
it is advisable never to talk about unidentified flying objects with interviewees.
Then if the researcher has good equipment at his/her disposal and more
time, it is possible to move on to Level 3. It is not however necessary
to have all types of measuring instruments in order to obtain interesting
findings. Simply by completing the sampling of ears, kernels and soil,
for laboratory testing, data can be sufficient to have a more complete
picture of the situation. The gathering of materials for laboratory testing
must be carried out in agreement with the persons that will perform testing,
in order to avoid irremediable damage to the samples that would make the
study worthless. In all cases however it is necessary to carry samples
in sterile containers, for analyses, being careful to store them in a
safe place and not to wait more than a few days before delivering them
to the laboratory. These simple precautions should ensure satisfactory
results in any test laboratory. This study Protocol can be used by an
individual with considerable time and equipment at his/her disposal, but
can also be ideal for a group of researchers split up into 2/3 teams,
in which each member can handle one or two tasks.

This is the
eighth in our series of Year Books. This popular series of full colour,
fine-art-reproduction photographic books records the passing beauty of the
crop circles each year, charting their progress from spring to their
thrilling culmination in late summer.
For some, the
2006 season was far too quiet. Many fields stood pristine, serene and
untouched throughout the summer as the phenomenon seemed to abandon its
conventional haunting grounds in favour of new territory. In comparison to
the last few years, the 2006 season was a more measured, paced and
thoughtful offering, with quality rather than quantity being the byword.
Whilst the number of circles appearing in the UK during 2006 was markedly
down on seasons passed; what formations did occur were of great symbolic
interest. The circles of 2006 pushed even more design boundaries, speaking
ever more eloquently about a shift from one state into another. Highlights
included a series of multi-dimensional wormholes, a peacocks tail, a crown
of many stars and a twelve-fold city of skyscrapers; capped off by a
display of magnificent stars.
The 2006 book
also contains images of the two magnificent formations in Kent.
The book is 11.8
x 8.6 inches (30 x 22cm, A4 size), with 24 pages (not including front and
back covers). Each book is sent in a sealed plastic wrapper within a
board-backed envelope to make sure it reaches you in perfect condition.

The
mysterious creators of the crop circles have worked secretly and
anonymously for many years in crop fields across southern England. Each
summer gigantic and magnificent works of art are swept, seemingly
effortlessly, into wheat, barley, and other agricultural crops, they are
often hundreds of feet in length or diameter. They are most often crafted
under the veil of darkness in the few short hours between sunset and
sunrise in the summer months, and appear fully formed from beneath the
evaporating morning mists in vales and valleys. Despite much
investigation, the crop circles remain a completely unresolved mystery.
This
amazing film takes you on a 360° tour of all the major crop circles of the
2005 season. With spectacular helicopter and ground footage shot on
digital video, combined with an atmospheric and haunting soundtrack,
inter-dispersed with high quality still images, this film is a virtual
feast for the senses.
This film
is not about research, it is silent about the ultimate origins and meaning
of the phenomenon. Rather it sets out to present the crop circles as they
are - beautiful, mysterious and enchanting. And to re-create the
atmosphere of being in and around this mystery as it unfolds.
