(Burke, Levengood & Talbot)
Nancy Talbot of BLT - simple design forms with aerial phenomenon.
This is a statement from Nancy Talbott of the BLT research team, who actually witnessed strange lights in connection with a night time appearance of a crop circle being formed in Holland. These claims are remarkable, and may point towards important evidence of an aerial component involved in the creation of crop circles? |
NEWSFLASHES
BLT
Research, Inc. now has its own new web site (currently under
construction), which will highlight the laboratory analysis work of Dr. W. C.
Levengood, who has been doing extensive analysis of plant and soil
samples from crop circle formations in England and around the world for
the past several years, (including some of the fantastic Canadian formations
this year!).
Third Scientific Paper Published on Crop Circle Work by BLT Team
The BLT Research Team Inc. is a non-profit,
tax-exempt U.S. corporation whose purpose is the scientific examination of plants, soils
and associated materials sampled at crop formation sites around the world. The BLT team is
headed by Michigan biophysicist, Wm. C. Levengood, who has been examining crop circle
plants and soils since 1989 and includes American colleagues Nancy Talbott and John Burke,
as well as hundreds of field personnel in many different countries. To-date three papers
presenting the research findings have been published in peer-reviewed scientific journals,
as well as more than 100 lab reports on individual crop formations in the U.S., Canada,
England, The Netherlands, Germany, Australia and Israel. These scientific papers and
laboratory reports outline the physical abnormalities discovered so far in the plants and
soils, clearly indicating a causative agency other than human-directed mechanical
flattening of the plants, suggesting instead an energy system which emits microwaves and
associated unusual electrical and magnetic fields.

Here's an update on what's going on with BLT at the
moment.
(l) We've recently obtained our non-profit, tax exempt status here in
the U.S. and a grant which is designed to allow us to pursue more in-depth analysis
of soils (x-ray crystallography and we hope some microbiology) and "anomalous"
deposited
substances recovered at crop circle sites, apparent UFO trace-cases, and unusual animal
death sites; we are searching for appropriate
laboratories to assist us in these pursuits, hopefully here in the Cambridge area;
(2) Grass rings in Maryland-multiple green, lush grass rings have been
observed and sampled in the rolling hillside in Maryland (East Coast, mid-Atlantic
region); these rings are growing out-of-phase with the rest of the pasture and range in
size from 3-4' diameter to much larger. The redox examination (which measures the
rate of respiration in the plant cells) reveals alterations in respiration patterns,
consistent with exposure to an unusual energy system, similar to what we often observe in
crop circle plants and plants sampled at UFO trace-cases and unusual animal death
sites. Similar lush grass rings have been found in a number of locations, some
of them seemingly related to "anomalous" situations, some of them not; many
witnesses to UFOs report them in their yards after such encounters; abductees also report
them with some frequency. But we have also tested them from parks and other
areas where we know of no relationship to unusual situations. More on this as
we go on.
(3) Unusual Cattle Deaths - 2 new cases, one in Oregon (Northwest Coast)
on a ranch which has had now 11 of these unusual deaths in the
last year, and the other in New Mexico, again an area that has suffered many of these
cases. The New Mexico case may be an explainable death, but the Oregon case looks
very similar to dozens of others where we have tested the grasses and soils in the
last several years. What is of interest to crop circle enthusiasts includes two
basic findings so far:
(a) the finding of increased amounts of magnetic particle material in the soils at these events (over normal control soils taken at various distances away from the animal), and
(b) the fact that the plants (grasses, in most cases)
regularly show changes in plant cell respiration rates, similar to changes observed
in plants from crop circle sites. These findings do not mean, to us, that the
causative agency is necessarily the same...but, instead, indicate that the energies, or
SOME of the energies, involved are the same as those involved in the crop circle situation
(and also at some of the UFO trace cases). We know that when the
microwave component of these energy systems is great the plants will usually die; when the
microwave component is less, and when the electrical component of the energy system is
greater, then the result usually is that the plants respond by growing more robustly
than normal, after a recovery period. In regards to the tiny (micron-sized) spherical
magnetic particles in the soils, we have in recent years (particularly in the US,
where in-depth soil-sampling has been done in many cases, but also in several other
countries) regularly observed marked increases in the amounts of such particles in the
immediate vicinities of crop circles, UFO sites and unusual animal death sites.....this
again being something which is similar in these events. In most crop circle
cases the magnetic material drops off pretty quickly outside the visible confines of the
event; in the animal cases it sometimes extends quite a distance away from the
carcass. And the amounts we are finding at some of these sites is hundreds of
times greater than what is "normal." We believe that these particles are
microscopic meteoritic particles which are drawn into the area by the magnetic
fields emitted by the energy system, then fused together by the microwaves also
emitted by the energy system (thus making them molten), with the spheres then forming as
the particles descend to the earth's surface as the energy system impacts. The EDS
work (electron-dispersive spectroscopy) so far indicates very pure iron and the only
source we can think of would be of meteoric origin. The maximum amount of such
material one might expect to find in any given location (with the exception of a
few places on the earth's surface) is 0.4 mg./gm. soil. At the sites we
investigate we have found as much as 280+ mg/gm soil. We have also found these
particles at crop circle sites distributed in accordance with the rules of
centrifugal force....the amount of deposited material dropping off as a function of
sampling distance away from either the epicentre of the circle itself, or from the edges
out into the standing crop in the field.
The work we hope to be doing this summer on the soils...the x-ray crystallography and/or
microbiological examinations, may shed more light on the presence of heat at these
sites....will keep you posted.
No crop circles reported yet here in the States to my knowledge....we've got an expanding
group of fieldworkers ready to get out there and sample, when the reports do start
coming....and we'll keep you posted on what we find. We've got a bunch of reports on
1997 and 1998 crop circles about ready to go out....
