NARRATOR: Bizarre shapes...

LINDA MOULTON HOWE: What in the world

is making these patterns and why?

NARRATOR: ...intricate designs...

DAVID WILCOCK: Scientists are now saying

that this geometry

is the secret keys to the higher dimensions.

NARRATOR: ...and a mysterious method

that defies explanation.

NICK POPE: Everyone was scratching their heads

and saying, "What's going on here?"

NARRATOR: Are the patterns

appearing on fields across the globe

part of an elaborate hoax?

Or could there really be an otherworldly connection?

GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: These are messages from elsewhere.

And elsewhere, in my opinion,

means of extraterrestrial origin.

NARRATOR: Since the dawn of civilization,

mankind has credited its origins to gods

and other visitors from the stars.

What if it were true?

Did extraterrestrial beings

really help to shape our history?

And if so...

could they really be communicating

using circles from the sky?

Turin, Italy.

June 23, 2015.

Pilot Silvio Sirotto reports

that while flying over a wheat field

directly in the flight path of the local airport,

he spotted a mysterious design

seemingly pressed into the crops.

Investigators are baffled

as to how the design could have been created

without any detection in such a high-traffic area.

To date, it remains a mystery,

but it is only one of the latest examples

in a strange phenomenon

that has been going on for decades,

and possibly much, much longer.

Over 10,000 crop formations have been found worldwide.

They have been reported in over 50 different countries

and on nearly every continent on Earth.

Commonly known as crop circles,

the formations are designs pressed down into fields.

They range from small circles

to elaborate pictograms hundreds of feet across.

They have been found in various crops,

including wheat, barley,

oilseed rape and corn.

And they've been making worldwide headlines

since the mid-1960s.

One of the first, in 1966,

it was Tully, Queensland, Australia.

(buzzing)

A farmer heard a buzzing sound

and literally saw this big, round,

maybe 30-feet-diameter craft, disk, rising up

out of what essentially was marshy, reedy ground.

And it goes up and disappears,

and left behind the circle.

CHARLES MALLETT: Beginning in Tully, Australia,

there seems to be a kind of a smattering

of these circular impressions, relatively simple,

but in several locations around the world.

1960s, '70s, '80s, liberal sprinkling of circles,

1990... bang,

and the whole thing goes planet-wide.

NARRATOR: By 1991,

over 2,500 formations had been reported

across 23 different countries.

HOWE: As an investigative reporter

who began about three decades ago,

trying to get to the bottom of this phenomena,

I remember getting these photographs

and reading that there were no footprints.

No one was walking around, because if they had,

we would have seen broken stalks.

Everybody was raising this question:

"What in the world is making these patterns and why?"

They had scientists and meteorologists in the field,

and it was really fascinating

and people really got into it in a big, big way.

POPE: Nobody knew what to make of this.

Politicians, scientists, the UFO community...

Everyone was scratching their heads

and saying, "What's going on here? What is this?"

Some people thought that it was extraterrestrial.

Others thought it was a meteorological phenomenon

of some sort.

And other people said, "Well, it must be a hoax."

NARRATOR: On September 9, 1991,

two retirees from the English countryside,

Doug Bower and Dave Chorley, came forward with an admission

that they were behind the crop formations.

Using nothing more than a board and strings,

the hoaxers demonstrated their technique

for pressing down the crop to form a design.

HOWE: I won't forget when the news came

that there were these two men

saying they were responsible for all the crop formations.

And immediately,

because of all the work that I had been doing was,

well, they weren't traveling to 23 nations,

number one.

Number two, they were off-kilter.

They were not geometric.

And for those of us who have been in real crop formations,

there's just no comparison.

MALLETT: Doug and Dave, "the men that conned the world."

That was the headline in our local newspaper here.

And these two men came forward and said, "We done it all."

We made all the crop circles since 1976, everything."

Most people pretty much swallowed that,

hook, line and sinker.

POPE: There are some theories

that, uh, Doug and Dave were just government stooges,

that, uh, the plan

was to bring the whole subject into disrepute,

to discredit it,

and to-to make the media just go away.

NARRATOR: But could it be

that there is more to the crop circle phenomenon

than a modern-day hoax orchestrated by pranksters?

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, and suggest

that crop formations are not, in fact,

a modern phenomenon at all,

but can be traced back hundreds of years.

JONATHAN YOUNG: There is a report from the year 815,

of the Bishop of Lyon,

a warning, notifying another priest

who was going to take over his parish

that the locals are involved in something

he considers devil worship.

They're gathering seeds

in a flattened circle of the crops

and using them in fertility rituals.

WILCOCK: There are some very strange accounts in the 1600s.

One of the original scientists, Dr. Robert Plot,

reported seeing crop circles appearing on his land

in Staffordshire, England.

And he actually drew diagrams of what he was seeing.

We also have the infamous legend, in the 1600s,

of the so-called "mowing-devil."

TSOUKALOS: One of the first crop circles ever reported

was a mowing-devil that was in England

going through the wheat fields.

There's actually a woodcut that shows what,

for all intents and purposes, looks like a crop circle,

but has this black creature

that just runs around with the horns.

So the idea was, in folklore,

that something or someone laid down this formation

in a wheat field.

And that goes back all the way to 1678.

Some even have suggested that there may be a description

of a crop circle in the Dead Sea Scrolls.

WILLIAM HENRY: In the Dead Sea Scrolls

is a cryptic reference to a light

that leaves a mark on the ground.

Interpreters ask: Is it possible that the marks on the land...

Specifically on the barley and the lentil...

Are crop circles?

NARRATOR: Is it possible that crop circles

have appeared for hundreds, if not thousands of years?

And if so, could it be that while some of these formations

have been exposed as hoaxes,

many others are connected to otherworldly beings?

Perhaps further clues can be found

by putting a man-made crop formation to the test.

NARRATOR: Wiltshire, England.

This sleepy countryside,

just over 100 miles west of London,

is considered ground zero for the crop circle phenomenon.

It is also home to many mysterious ancient sites,

including Stonehenge,

Avebury,

Silbury Hill

and West Kennet Long Barrow.

MALLET: One could quite reasonably

and easy make the connection that these crop circles

are happening in these places

because these places are markings

of certain energetic corridors

or crossover points or very special places

that were used by people

in the past for presumably metaphysical reasons...

Meditating, praying, ritual, whatever.

NARRATOR: Today, ancient astronaut theorist and explorer.

Giorgio Tsoukalos

is in Wiltshire to meet up with three men

who have a unique perspective on crop formations.

- Hi. - Giorgio.

John? Good to meet you.

NARRATOR: John Lundberg, Rob Irving

and William Russell have over two decades of experience

creating artistic designs in crops.

So, thanks very much for meeting me out here.

NARRATOR: Giorgio will challenge them to recreate

a simple formation that many crop circle investigators

suggest cannot be perfectly reproduced.

In 2005, overnight,

the Golden Ball formation was created.

This is what it looks like right here.

You might be familiar with this one.

Got the different circles.

JOHN LUNDBERG: How big is it?

- 96 feet in diameter. - Okay.

So it's not small, it's fairly large, and, um,

I was wondering if you could recreate this.

- We can certainly try, yeah. - Right?

Now, this was done overnight,

so the most you'll have

- is about five to seven hours. - Okay.

And you'll be using these boards?

Yeah, this is called a stalk stomper,

which is the tool that we use for flattening the crop.

All right, well, shall we get started?

- Sure. - Okay. Let's do it.

Well, you're starting on the ring.

NARRATOR: John Lundberg and his team

begin by measuring out the design using a tape measure.

This one, here.

NARRATOR: After determining where to place the edges,

they use their wooden stalk stompers to shuffle their way

across the upright stems to create the desired pattern.

Keep going.

NARRATOR: The team is able to complete the challenge

within the allotted time.

Well, that was quick.

Pretty good, huh?

Really good stuff.

- All right. - Thanks.

So, did you guys encounter any problems or any challenges?

I think the only problem

is-is the crop is a bit kind of tangly.

But I-I'm happy with it.

I think it should look great from the air.

Some more altitude.

Keep going. Going up, going up.

NARRATOR: In order to get

a side-by-side comparison of the designs,

Giorgio enlists the assistance of a local drone team.

They send a camera up over the field.

MAN: Climb a bit.

And hold there.

Oh, wow.

I mean, it's a really nice recreation.

There's no question about it.

- Pretty identical. - Yeah.

Can't tell the difference really.

They're really impressive.

NARRATOR: While the recreation

of the Golden Ball Hill formation

looks very similar to the original from the air,

crop circle researchers suggest

that what made the formation truly unique

was not how it appeared from above,

but how it appeared on the ground.

So to examine the recreation up close,

Giorgio meets up with crop circle investigator

Charles Mallet.

Hi, Charles.

- Hey, Giorgio. - Pleasure to meet you.

- How are you? - I'm okay.

You're good? Come to the center here.

NARRATOR: Mallet has been researching

the crop circle phenomenon since the 1990s,

and was one of the first investigators on the ground

of the Golden Ball Hill pattern when it appeared in 2005.

What are the telltale signs

that leads you to believe that something

is real or man-made, or real, whatever that means.

I think we have to get over the-the notion

that people can't make shapes in fields.

People can make really impressive shapes in fields.

So we have to get down there and look at the physical evidence

before we start taking it further.

When I stand in this formation, I look at the carpet of flowers

across the top of these plants, and then I look on the ground.

I see two separate situations... Undamaged and damaged,

because they used a physical device,

and it's men stepping with planks of wood.

So it's crush, crush, crush, crush.

And it produces a really clear pattern of damage.

So there's a lot of the flowers have just been wiped off.

- And then if we were able to... - Sure.

To maybe come and look right down into the detail.

We need to just look at some, uh, stems here.

Here's a good example of what happens

to oilseed rape plants

when they're physically pushed to the ground.

Huge, ugly kink, very mechanical.

Down here, there's bruising and scraping down the stems.

What you're suggesting or what you're telling me

is that in a non-man-made, uh, scenario,

the stalks would not be broken like this.

Absolutely.

Can you show me some of those pictures

that you brought to see the comparison?

Yeah, yeah, sure.

Great.

These are from taken from the original

2005 formation here.

This is what I would expect to see in a real crop circle.

NARRATOR: Incredibly, none of the flower heads

on the original 2005 Golden Ball Hill formation

were damaged or destroyed.

And the seamless lay of flowers suggests

that it was not mechanically produced using boards

and shuffling over the stalks.

In the original 2005 formation,

there's nothing physical, nothing local,

nothing mechanical made this circle.

That really opens the door to so many possibilities.

And the honest answer is:

We do not know where these circles are coming from,

the real ones.

NARRATOR: If the Golden Ball Hill formation

was not made with boards, then how was it created?

And by whom?

Perhaps further clues can be found

by examining the intriguing evidence

left behind at the scene.

NARRATOR: Ann Arbor, Michigan.

At the height of the crop circle phenomenon in the 1990s,

former University of Michigan research physicist.

W.C. Levengood and his team at BLT Research

began scientifically analyzing samples

from various crop formations found throughout the world.

ELTJO H. HASELHOFF: The BLT team performed many different tests,

from simple inspection under a microscope,

chemical analyses of the soils and the plants,

germination tests, uh, node length measurements and so on.

They produced, uh, many, many lab reports

and a couple scientific papers as well

in which they explained what they found.

We found that there are two scientifically-documented,

all-over-the-world changes.

The first is the apical node elongation.

Most crops have four or even five nodes,

and they are the knuckle-like protuberances

that are found along the plant stem

all the way down to the ground.

The apical node

is the very first node beneath the seed head,

and that node becomes elongated, stretched,

as compared to the control nodes in the rest of the field.

Now, the node elongation can be

a range actually between, say, 45%

and over 200% elongation.

The second visible plant change that is well tested

are the expulsion cavities,

holes blown out at the lower stem nodes,

usually the second but sometimes also the third and fourth nodes.

And literally, they're holes blown out at the nodes.

Best I can tell,

these visible changes are beyond the capability

of humans at this point in time.

This is indicative of some kind of intense heat

that has hit the stalk

and actually physically changed it.

Who or what would have done this?

NARRATOR: Could the physical anomalies

found within some crop circles

be evidence that they were created

with advanced technology?

And, if so, what might this technology be?

Pleasure to meet you.

NARRATOR: In January of 2000, using his own data

as well as data collected by BLT Research,

Dr. Eltjo Haselhoff published a scientific paper

suggesting that the formations might be created

by an unknown electromagnetic energy source.

So you've actually done scientific analysis

on some of those formations.

So what were some of your conclusions?

The hypothesis is that somehow electromagnetic energy

is involved in the creation of these crop circles,

and that somehow this energy causes node elongation.

So the nodes in the stems get longer.

And the more energy, the longer the nodes are.

And that is very interesting, because all you need to do

is take a cross section across a circle, like this,

and measure the node length in each of these positions.

And actually, this is what you see.

This is in... at the perimeter.

See these nodes, these dark areas?

This is somewhere halfway, and that's in the center.

So, you see, there is a huge difference in node length.

TSOUKALOS: I mean, it's a hu...

I mean, this is fascinating; This is incredible.

HASELHOFF: And it's not just a little bit. -Okay.

It's a difference in size between a horse and an elephant.

It's-it's very, very significant,

so you can actually make a graph of this.

So this is the node length at the edge,

when the node length is about two millimeters.

So this is in the center of the circle,

and the node length is, like, 4.2 millimeters.

And going towards the perimeter, that's about two millimeters.

You see, there is a massive change in node length.

They're actually more than twice as long.

Yeah, I mean, what, uh, what would do this?

That's, uh, quite weird.

HASELHOFF: Well, in this case, it was very interesting,

because this crop circle, uh, actually had an eyewitness

when it was... when it formed.

And the eyewitness says, "I saw a ball of light,

and it was standing still."

And that is very important,

because when a ball of light is standing still,

we can very accurately predict

how the energy will be distributed on the ground.

And we know that there will be more energy in the center.

And the more energy, the longer the nodes are.

And we can also predict what the node length would have been.

So you can check your hypothesis.

And in this case, it was a perfect match.

Wow.

Amazing, isn't it?

Now, this is where I get the goose bumps,

because clearly there is something there,

and no one denies that many of them are man-made,

but then there is something bizarre.

Do you have any... idea

how, or who, might be behind it?

That's a very difficult question.

What I can say about that is...

I don't know.

So it is something that remains a giant question mark.

Absolutely, yes.

I find it very disheartening in a weird way

that something as open as crop formations

are not studied closer by the scientific community,

that they are just offhandedly dismissed

as flat-out hoaxes from the get-go,

when there is concise scientific evidence

that not every crop circle is man-made.

Maybe the origin is extraterrestrial.

NARRATOR: Does this peer-reviewed

scientific research provide evidence

that not all crop formations are the product of hoaxers?

And, if so, could there be an otherworldly,

perhaps extraterrestrial, origin to them?

Perhaps further clues can be found

by exploring eyewitness accounts of the crop circle phenomenon.

NARRATOR: Salisbury, England.

July 7, 2007.

Local paralegal and crop circle researcher Gary King

spends the night camping out on Knap Hill,

an area known for sightings of mysterious orbs

and other strange occurrences.

It was the seventh of July 2007,

so because it was a kind of an auspicious date...

The seven-seven-seven... We decided we'd come here.

I came here with my girlfriend to do a night watch.

So we arrived here, and at about 3:00 in the morning,

we had a big white flash of light,

which completely encompassed the sky.

And about 20 minutes after that, we looked,

and we could see this crop circle laid out in front of us.

The field it appeared in was this field here

to the right that's yellow now.

It was actually wheat the year that it occurred,

but they rotate the crops.

And it started from way back at... near those trees

and then came over the brow of this hill.

It was absolutely enormous.

NARRATOR: The crop formation extended 1,033 feet long

and 490 feet wide.

The over two-acre design

contained 150 individual circles...

The largest, 164 feet across.

KING: I have no idea what made it.

What I do know though is that

people with boards didn't make this.

NARRATOR: Gary King's experience is just one

of many firsthand accounts of designs

that mysteriously appear in a short period of time.

It is documented that there are approximately 70 cases

of people having an eyewitness sighting

of the formation of a crop circle

where they are literally standing there in the crop,

and it just spontaneously forms in front of them.

There is a loud tweeting sound in a lot of cases.

And then this sort of

crackling electrostatic charge on the crops.

And then you just watch as

almost like an oriental fan is unrolling,

just... (imitates whooshing) the crops just fold down.

In a matter of three seconds, it's all finished.

NARRATOR: Crop circle researchers cite

that many of these eyewitness accounts

include sightings of strange lights

in and around a formation.

Milk Hill, Wiltshire, England.

1991.

Steve Alexander, a local photographer,

is filming footage of a crop formation

from a neighboring hill,

when he captures a strange metallic light

floating in the field below.

MALLETT: His camera caught sight

of what seemed to be a white orb of light

flying right across this field right next to a crop circle.

That orb of light, whatever it was,

flew directly over a tractor working in the next field down.

And later on, that farmer was contacted, and he said,

"I saw this weird orb of light

about the size of a melon or something fly over my tractor."

I myself have seen several,

and they are astonishing in their brightness.

We are dealing with intelligent plasmas

that are sending and receiving information

for another intelligence of unknown origin.

Orbs of light are

a commonly associated phenomenon with crop circles,

and this goes all the way back to the story

of the mowing-devil in 1678.

The sighting of lights is often associated with these phenomena,

and they do seem to suggest something we don't understand.

The ghost lights, the will-o'-the-wisp sightings

represented some force of nature we had not entirely acknowledged

or given sufficient respect to,

some mystery that we need to come to grips with.

WILCOCK: It could be an actual craft,

or it could potentially be something like the stylus

from an extraterrestrial hand that is somewhere far away,

but this light is the projected form of a technology

being used from the safety and comfort of space.

We have to imagine an advanced extraterrestrial race

sending out orbs of light

that are sort of like peepholes for exploration.

They come to a planet, they find something interesting,

the peephole opens into a portal,

perhaps through which these advanced visitors can pass,

or perhaps through which a human could even enter

and travel to the home planet of the orb.

Is this what a crop circle is?

To me, the proliferation of wormhole-themed crop circles

tells us that this is the method of communication

as well as travel of these advanced visitors.

There is a possibility

that we are dealing with time travelers.

The time travelers are using the crop formations

to judge the accuracy of their time travel.

So are the crop formations designed for humans at all?

NARRATOR: Just what purpose do crop circles serve?

Are they landing codes for time travelers,

as some crop circle investigators suggest?

Or is it possible

that they serve as a communication medium?

One only meant for us to discover

once we evolved enough to discern them from the sky.

NARRATOR: Winchester, England.

August 15, 2002.

A crop formation bearing the image

of what appears to be a Grey alien emerges in a wheat field.

At the bottom right corner of the image

is a disk-shaped object

containing what some believe to be binary code,

a computer language consisting of ones and zeros.

There was a crop formation

that unmistakably looks like an extraterrestrial,

the proverbial Grey with the almond eyes

and the triangular-shaped head.

There's also at the bottom,

there seems to be a computer disk

and what looked like binary code.

The message allegedly says,

"Beware the bearers of false gifts and their broken promises.

"Much pain, but still time.

"There is good out there.

"We oppose deceivers.

Conduit closing."

It was warning humanity

about the deceivers, about dangers.

NARRATOR: Just a year prior, on August 21, 2001,

another formation that contained binary code appeared

in a wheat field next to the Chilbolton Radio Observatory.

Researchers are convinced that the design was a response

to a message that was transmitted into space

by astronomers Frank Drake and Carl Sagan in 1974.

In November of 1974,

Carl Sagan and Drake at Cornell University

sent out from Arecibo, Puerto Rico,

a signal of binary code about Earth

to whoever in the cosmos would receive our signal.

NARRATOR: The original message contained

binary-encoded information,

including the numbers one through ten,

an image of our DNA strand, the figure of a human,

and a graphic of the solar system

with the position of Earth highlighted.

It echoed absolutely,

line by line by line.

The DNA did not look like double helix.

It was very bizarre.

And then when you got down, instead of a six-foot human,

it was this thing that was maybe a third the height

of the human in Carl Sagan,

and it was associated with a strange solar system.

It was a very complex, very strange, one-of-a-kind pattern.

We'd never seen anything like it before.

NARRATOR: In 2004, a mysterious rock

was found near the Roswell crash site

bearing the same image as a crop circle

that was discovered in Chiseldon, England,

on August 2, 1996.

On the Roswell Rock, you have an almost identical symbol

in England.

To me, it's very fascinating, because it essentially shows

that they're trying to somehow communicate with us.

So the idea is that perhaps some of these crop circles

indeed are messages from elsewhere.

And elsewhere, in my opinion,

means of extraterrestrial origin.

NARRATOR: Could it be that some crop formations

serve as a medium for extraterrestrial communication?

Many crop circle researchers say yes,

and suggest further evidence of this can be found

by examining the advanced astronomical, scientific,

and mathematical equations contained within them.

One formation had everyone baffled,

and people were saying, "Well, what is this?"

Then a mathematician had a look at it and said,

"Wait a minute, that's a representation of pi.

And it's correct down to ten decimal places."

It's a representation of pi in a geometric sense.

It's kind of interesting because the way you get pi out of it

is the lengths of the different arcs in each segment.

And what happens is there's these little notches

in the spiral that let you know you're at the end of an arc.

So you actually have to measure the arc lengths

as you go around,

and their lengths give you the digits of pi.

And there's a little circle to give you the decimal point.

So it's a really interesting example of using geometry

as a code for representing digits and numbers.

POPE: It just shows the level of knowledge,

mathematical knowledge, geometric skill

that goes into making these things.

Many of the most famous crop circles

actually derive from fractal patterns.

The Mandelbrot set,

the Julia set.

To make these, you have to have knowledge of math.

Mathematics is, of course, the universal language.

If we ever encounter aliens,

they're not gonna speak English or French or German.

We'll speak and we'll communicate

via mathematics.

Could crop circles... As some believe...

Be an attempt from an alien civilization

to reach out and communicate with us?

WILCOCK: There's a consistent amount of sacred geometry...

Tetrahedrons, cubes, octahedrons,

and even more complex geometric patterns.

Many of our best and top scientists are now saying

that this geometry is the secret keys

to the higher dimensions.

And it's right there in the crops,

as if they're giving us a trail of bread crumbs,

showing us how to get to the next level as a planet.

NARRATOR: Might crop formations that contain celestial patterns

and mathematical equations

really have been created by otherworldly beings

attempting to communicate with humans?

And if extraterrestrial forces are sending messages to mankind,

why aren't world governments more interested?

Some insiders say they are,

and suggest that they are not only interested,

but may even be directly involved.

NARRATOR: Avebury, England.

July 2006.

The shadow of a geometric pattern

appears in a field.

The design echoes a crop formation

that was created in the exact same location

12 months prior.

Crop circle researchers refer to this phenomenon

as a "ghost formation."

The ghost formations are a really curious aside

to the main crop circle phenomenon.

The following year or even later in the same year,

there's an impression left in the field.

Even though the original crop circle has been harvested

or cut down in whatever way,

there's a residual effect on the ground.

That, to some people, seems utterly mysterious.

NARRATOR: The altered growth pattern of the affected crops

has been known to persist

for up to two years after the initial crop circle appears,

but only on certain formations.

CHILDRESS: A number of crop circles reappear again.

It seems that it's some effort to communicate with us,

from extraterrestrials, by putting these designs

onto the ground over and over again.

And perhaps what they're trying to do

is give us information that they think we need,

but we just need to decipher it.

NARRATOR: Could there really be a message so important

that the residual design persists in the crops

for months and even years?

If so, wouldn't the crop circle phenomenon

be more closely monitored by world governments?

Some crop circle investigators say yes and suggest

that the U.S. and British governments currently utilize

satellite technology to secretly photograph

and catalog crop formations.

But others suggest their involvement

may actually run much deeper.

Just as it was British government policy to downplay

the true interest in UFOs,

so it was the case with crop circles.

If there's an alien message there,

of course government would want that knowledge

and they'd want to keep it for themselves.

The intriguing thing there is, of course,

that some of the formations that people are seeing

might actually be made by the government.

Government scientists would be making the reply

that goes out from us to the extraterrestrials.

HOWE: Whether crop formations are the residue

of intelligent plasmas

or extraterrestrials or a combination of both,

why can't the whole world know

what it is that the governments

know about crop formations and lights?

What would happen if the whole planet knew,

if all humans knew we're not alone?

NARRATOR: Is it possible that world governments

are secretly working to uncover messages

encrypted within crop circles,

and are even attempting

to communicate with otherworldly entities

by creating crop circles themselves?

And if these formations

really are messages from extraterrestrials,

just what are they trying to communicate?

HOWE: Something keeps laying things down

in sequence as if it has

a big picture of how it is communicating with this planet,

but it is doing so in pieces.

If you looked at the math and you looked at the warnings,

something champions us, wants us to evolve.

TSOUKALOS: I think that the crop formations are a calling card

that we are being given,

that is being put underneath our very eyes.

And we really should pay attention to those messages.

Those are little hints that are dropped worldwide

that prepare us to change our point of view

that we're not the only ones.

NARRATOR: Have extraterrestrials been using crop circles

to communicate with mankind throughout our history?

Are these complex designs pieces of a mathematical puzzle

that, once put together and deciphered,

will reveal the truth about both our origins

and our destiny?

Perhaps we will unlock the secrets of the universe
