NICK NICHOLSON PASSED AWAY
ON 24TH NOVEMBER 2009
It is with great
sadness that we
learn of the passing of Nick
Nicholson. Nick was a friend of The Crop Circle Connector
and over the last 15 years
his great interest in photography has kept us supplied with
excellent photographs of the phenomenon from the air and from
the ground. Crop Circles had
caught Nick’s attention while he lived in Nottinghamshire and
his RAF experiences, which included a period of rocket training
in the USA, fired a deeper interest in this phenomenon’s
apparent connections with space. An interest and curiosity
which never abated.
His desire to
record and spread the word about crop circles led Nick to move
to Wiltshire, from where he published his own quarterly magazine
The Circular Review, which had an international
subscription base. For several years, in his efforts to inform
a wider public about this enduring and beautiful phenomenon, he
also organised his own Crop Circle Fayre at Alton Barnes.
Never
one to suffer a fool gladly, his famously ‘grumpy old man’
persona actually masked a kind, generous and humorous nature and
his presentations and his presence at the various Crop Circle
conferences was always greatly appreciated. Nick
was flying and taking pictures until the end of the 2009 season.
His illness was sudden and he was hospitalised in Swindon in
mid-September. After a brief battle
with cancer he was moved to Norfolk to be nearer his daughter
where he died
peacefully in his sleep on the evening of the 24th November -
surrounded by his family, to whom we extend the sympathies of
the entire crop circle community.
We will miss him
very much!
The Crop Circle
Connector
UPDATE:-
Thanks again for the
piece on the website, its very fitting. Just
to let you know Nick's funeral will be
held on Monday 7th December at St. Faiths
crematorium Norwich at 3.30pm. Friends and
relatives will be gathering after at the
nearby White Horse pub. We think Grandude
would have appreciated this! Cards and
flowers etc can be sent to John Brown
Funeral Directors, 102 North Walsham Road,
Norwich, Norfolk, NR6 7QQ . Alternatively
donations can be sent in place of flowers
and the money will go to the Kingfisher ward
fund at the Great Western Hospital Swindon
where Nick was cared for very well by all
the staff.

Companion film to the Crop
Circle Year Book 2009
Temporary Temple Productions
2009 - A film by
Steve
Alexander, Rob Luckins & Karen Alexander
Recording the crop circles as we do is not
just a technical exercise. It is not a joy rode in a helicopter.
It is a mysterious shamanic journey where inspirational images
of the circles are exchanged for creative energy, imagination,
and dreams and sleep. An intimacy is achieved between
photographer and subject that transcends consciousness
parameters, until by the height of the season, with long hours,
early mornings, late nights, and accumulated sleep deprivation
an altered state of consciousness is inspired and a channel of
communication opens. We are often asked how we manage to take
the pictures we do. We consider that we record the circles with
the cooperation and guidance of whatever lies behind their
creation. To consider the formations mere objects to be snapped
at by a camera is to fail to fully respond to the depth of the
phenomenon. For a short while each summer we give ourselves over
to a measure of intoxication with the circles that allows us to
do our work.

End of an
Era for Crop Circle Centre ?
The Barge Inn at Honey
Street Nr Pewsey Wiltshire is up for sale. Having long been a
location loved by its local community as well as a centre for
Crop Circle investigators the risk of closure or commercial
changes is worrying. However there is a group of keen locals who
are fired up enough to save OUR PUB and retain its importance as
a hub for the local and international communities who have an
interest in this location. They have already had two public
meetings have also undertake a feasibility study and draft
business and are now asking for support and help via their
website
www.bargeinncommunityproject.com
Wish them luck and give them support!

all circle making actives and associated drinking, scheming, and
the preparation of many great crop circle deceptions of the last
17 years, is for sale. The back room contains a crop

the brewery which owned it in Devizes used to appoint a manager
to run it. If they are selling the leasehold like this, maybe
the new owner will be able to make it a Free House?
Who wants to buy it and become a publican with a

Pat Delgado has
passed away. Noon 23 May 2009.
From Colin Andrews
1919 - 2009
Pat Delgado, famous for being the
person who started serious research into what became known as
crop circles, passed away at 8.30 AM (U.K.) today in Winchester
Hospital, Hampshire, England. Pat was a very young 90 years of
age, when cancer struck and took a very rapid toll in recent
weeks.
He was a compassionate and
sensitive human being, an excellent engineer and reputable
healer. He was a dear friend and my co-author who was largely
responsible for one of the happiest periods of my life.
I send my deepest and most sincere
condolences to Norah (his Wife), Jan (only Daughter) and Guy
(Grandson) who did all they could in such distressing
circumstances. Love to you all.

CIRCLES
HIDDEN MYSTERIES
Remarkable Revelations
CROP CIRCLES - Hidden Mysteries' is the most
ambitious and important DVD production that we have produced so far on
the crop circle phenomenon. On this journey we
investigate many secret societies over the years and their association
with geometry. Our timeline goes from Neolithic cultures, to Egyptian
and Greek secret societies, through the Middle Ages , to the Age of
Enlightenment and the mysterious world of freemasonry to modern day
mathematical concepts We include the latest crop circles filmed from the
air and on the ground.
Written by Stuart Dike and Julian Gibsone. From an original outline
script by Julian Gibsone. The script editor is Beverley Gibsone. |
Readers will be saddened to hear of the death of
John Michell after a period of illness. The author of numerous
seminal books, he early embraced the crop circle phenomenon, and
through the magazine The Cereologist, which he edited over the
crucial years of 1990-1993, he opened the eyes of many to the
importance of the crop circle circles. His influence percolated down
to many leading crop circle researchers, he was a wise humorous and
open presence, and he will be sorely missed.

PAUL VIGAY
Paul Vigay's body was found yesterday morning on the shore at
Southsea.
Paul was one of the brightest stars in the
crop circle universe. A talented mathematician, computer
technician and a maker of electronic gadgets, he was one of the
first researchers into the crop circle phenomenon in the early
1990's where his talents were quickly recognised. He had an
exceptional gift for investigation and often led the field in
deciphering the mathematical aspects found in certain crop
circles. His interests spread far beyond crop circles and he was
a keen explorer into other aspects of the Unexplained. He was
amazingly articulate and had a rare knack of being able
to explain technical details in the simplest language. He has
made a major contribution to the subject and his place will not
be easily filled.
He also made great contributions to the CCCS
and was also one of the founder members of UNEX.
He was a really super person, and a good
friend who I have known for 19 happy years. Many have been the
times when we have been into the fields together. He had a
great sense of humour and I have never heard him utter a cross
word.
I will miss him greatly, his bright ideas and
just for being himself.
Please remember his family in your thoughts
and prayers.
He was a giant of a man.

A line to let you all
know that David Kingston passed away this afternoon.
Thursday, February 19, 2009
As I understand it
David discovered a year or so ago that he had cancer
which finally involved his lungs, stomach and brain.His wife Mary
and his family were at his bedside today. David was a tireless
worker for truth and through his website, conferences and lectures,
encouraged a great number of people to go on their own explorations
of the mysteries of the universe. Now David is en route to
uncovering one of the greatest mysteries of all and we wish him a
fond bon voyage on his last great journey.
Please remember Mary and their family in your
thoughts and prayers.

WHAT DO MODERN CROP PICTURES MEAN?
Some people claim that modern crop pictures are just
abstract landscape art, drawn in English fields by
human fakers with rope and boards, and that such
patterns have no deeper meaning. Such a view is
profoundly wrong, because serious researchers can
now understand clearly what most crop pictures mean.
Two pictures from the summer of 2008 showed for
example pi to ten digits as 3.141592654, or our
nine-planet solar system as it will appear on
December 23, 2012 when the Mayan Long Count calendar
ends. Detailed forensic inspection of the fields
suggests that neither picture (nor many others)
could have been locally human-made. Quite
surprisingly, instead of alien symbols, those
authentic crop pictures often show long-forgotten
symbols from our distant past on Earth: whether from
Egypt, the ancient British Isles or central America.

Jonathan Sherwood Passed Away
The following is an announcement of Jonathan's Passing away and
funeral details, please do pass on to anyone who knew him.
Rachel Sherwood and Family.
It is with great sadness that we inform you of the passing away
of Jonathan Sherwood, informally known as drjohn, on the 31st of
October 2008. He became ill suddenly on the 29th of October from
a rare type of stroke, and passed away peacefully two days
later. Jonathan was 56. He was and always will be much loved and
greatly missed by his wife Rachel and boys James and Sam. He
will be sadly missed by all his family and friends. I am sure
this will come as a great shock to all who knew him as it has to
us.
The funeral of Jonathan Sherwood was held on Thursday the 13th
of November at 10.45 am at the West Wiltshire Crematorium,
Devizes Road, Semington, Near Trowbridge, Wiltshire. BA14 6HL.
England.
Flowers or donations if desired in memory of Jonathan
are for the Wiltshire Air Ambulance c/o John Stuart
Funeral Service Limited, Castle Farm, Hillworth Rd,
Devizes. SN10 5HD. Tel: 01380 723883
http://www.cropcirclexplorer.com
Jonathon Sherwood’s predictions for the 2009 summer
season
“In 2009, many new
crop pictures will appear that are not man-made, and
the evidence will become obvious. They will seem
impossible to produce by human hands. “
“Specific patterns
will appear in areas far from human habitation, and
of a size not feasible to produce by hand. Their
creations will be witnessed to happen.”
“The 2009 season will
thus be a wake-up call to the local population, as
well as to the UK government.”
Jonathon Sherwood,
October 20, 2008 (see
http://cropcirclexplorer.com/cropcircleblog/?m=200810)
