1
00:00:01,135 --> 00:00:02,701
NARRATOR: Bizarre shapes...
2
00:00:02,803 --> 00:00:04,570
LINDA MOULTON HOWE:
What in the world
3
00:00:04,672 --> 00:00:06,705
is making these patterns
and why?
4
00:00:06,807 --> 00:00:09,541
NARRATOR:
...intricate designs...
5
00:00:09,643 --> 00:00:11,543
DAVID WILCOCK:
Scientists are now saying
6
00:00:11,645 --> 00:00:13,579
that this geometry
7
00:00:13,681 --> 00:00:16,281
is the secret keys
to the higher dimensions.
8
00:00:16,384 --> 00:00:18,450
NARRATOR:
...and a mysterious method
9
00:00:18,552 --> 00:00:20,986
that defies explanation.
10
00:00:21,088 --> 00:00:23,922
NICK POPE: Everyone was
scratching their heads
11
00:00:24,025 --> 00:00:25,302
and saying,
"What's going on here?"
12
00:00:25,326 --> 00:00:27,726
NARRATOR: Are the patterns
13
00:00:27,828 --> 00:00:29,728
appearing on fields
across the globe
14
00:00:29,830 --> 00:00:32,264
part of an elaborate hoax?
15
00:00:32,366 --> 00:00:36,268
Or could there really be
an otherworldly connection?
16
00:00:36,370 --> 00:00:39,705
GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: These are
messages from elsewhere.
17
00:00:39,807 --> 00:00:42,741
And elsewhere, in my opinion,
18
00:00:42,843 --> 00:00:44,777
means
of extraterrestrial origin.
19
00:00:44,879 --> 00:00:48,180
NARRATOR:
Since the dawn of civilization,
20
00:00:48,282 --> 00:00:52,651
mankind has credited
its origins to gods
21
00:00:52,753 --> 00:00:55,788
and other visitors
from the stars.
22
00:00:55,890 --> 00:00:58,791
What if it were true?
23
00:00:58,893 --> 00:01:00,592
Did extraterrestrial beings
24
00:01:00,694 --> 00:01:04,263
really help
to shape our history?
25
00:01:04,365 --> 00:01:06,131
And if so...
26
00:01:06,233 --> 00:01:08,801
could they really
be communicating
27
00:01:08,903 --> 00:01:11,703
using circles from the sky?
28
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:19,074

29
00:01:38,933 --> 00:01:41,500
Turin, Italy.
30
00:01:41,602 --> 00:01:44,837
June 23, 2015.
31
00:01:44,939 --> 00:01:49,041
Pilot Silvio Sirotto reports
32
00:01:49,143 --> 00:01:50,676
that while flying
over a wheat field
33
00:01:50,778 --> 00:01:52,878
directly in the flight path
of the local airport,
34
00:01:52,980 --> 00:01:56,415
he spotted a mysterious design
35
00:01:56,517 --> 00:01:58,817
seemingly pressed
into the crops.
36
00:01:58,919 --> 00:02:02,054
Investigators are baffled
37
00:02:02,156 --> 00:02:04,323
as to how the design
could have been created
38
00:02:04,425 --> 00:02:08,861
without any detection
in such a high-traffic area.
39
00:02:08,963 --> 00:02:11,930
To date, it remains a mystery,
40
00:02:12,032 --> 00:02:15,501
but it is only one
of the latest examples
41
00:02:15,603 --> 00:02:17,002
in a strange phenomenon
42
00:02:17,104 --> 00:02:19,905
that has been going on
for decades,
43
00:02:20,007 --> 00:02:23,475
and possibly much, much longer.
44
00:02:23,577 --> 00:02:29,047
Over 10,000 crop formations
have been found worldwide.
45
00:02:29,150 --> 00:02:32,584
They have been reported
in over 50 different countries
46
00:02:32,686 --> 00:02:36,421
and on nearly
every continent on Earth.
47
00:02:36,524 --> 00:02:39,391
Commonly known as crop circles,
48
00:02:39,493 --> 00:02:44,596
the formations are designs
pressed down into fields.
49
00:02:44,698 --> 00:02:47,299
They range from small circles
50
00:02:47,401 --> 00:02:50,969
to elaborate pictograms
hundreds of feet across.
51
00:02:52,540 --> 00:02:55,574
They have been found
in various crops,
52
00:02:55,676 --> 00:02:57,876
including wheat, barley,
53
00:02:57,978 --> 00:03:02,014
oilseed rape and corn.
54
00:03:02,116 --> 00:03:04,616
And they've been making
worldwide headlines
55
00:03:04,718 --> 00:03:06,985
since the mid-1960s.
56
00:03:08,989 --> 00:03:11,256
One of the first, in 1966,
57
00:03:11,358 --> 00:03:13,659
it was Tully,
Queensland, Australia.
58
00:03:13,761 --> 00:03:15,427
(buzzing)
59
00:03:15,529 --> 00:03:17,829
A farmer heard a buzzing sound
60
00:03:17,932 --> 00:03:20,098
and literally saw
this big, round,
61
00:03:20,201 --> 00:03:24,636
maybe 30-feet-diameter
craft, disk, rising up
62
00:03:24,738 --> 00:03:28,607
out of what essentially
was marshy, reedy ground.
63
00:03:28,709 --> 00:03:30,943
And it goes up and disappears,
64
00:03:31,045 --> 00:03:34,580
and left behind the circle.
65
00:03:34,682 --> 00:03:36,615
CHARLES MALLETT:
Beginning in Tully, Australia,
66
00:03:36,717 --> 00:03:38,550
there seems to be
a kind of a smattering
67
00:03:38,652 --> 00:03:41,286
of these circular impressions,
relatively simple,
68
00:03:41,388 --> 00:03:43,322
but in several locations
around the world.
69
00:03:43,424 --> 00:03:49,361
1960s, '70s, '80s,
liberal sprinkling of circles,
70
00:03:49,463 --> 00:03:51,096
1990... bang,
71
00:03:51,198 --> 00:03:54,132
and the whole thing
goes planet-wide.
72
00:03:57,037 --> 00:03:58,971
NARRATOR: By 1991,
73
00:03:59,073 --> 00:04:01,974
over 2,500 formations
had been reported
74
00:04:02,076 --> 00:04:06,278
across 23 different countries.
75
00:04:06,380 --> 00:04:08,447
HOWE:
As an investigative reporter
76
00:04:08,549 --> 00:04:10,782
who began
about three decades ago,
77
00:04:10,884 --> 00:04:13,752
trying to get to the bottom
of this phenomena,
78
00:04:13,854 --> 00:04:16,221
I remember getting
these photographs
79
00:04:16,323 --> 00:04:21,426
and reading that there were
no footprints.
80
00:04:21,528 --> 00:04:25,530
No one was walking around,
because if they had,
81
00:04:25,633 --> 00:04:28,300
we would have seen
broken stalks.
82
00:04:28,402 --> 00:04:30,736
Everybody was raising
this question:
83
00:04:30,838 --> 00:04:34,573
"What in the world is making
these patterns and why?"
84
00:04:36,577 --> 00:04:39,044
They had scientists and
meteorologists in the field,
85
00:04:39,146 --> 00:04:41,013
and it was really fascinating
86
00:04:41,115 --> 00:04:44,416
and people really got into it
in a big, big way.
87
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,721
POPE: Nobody knew
what to make of this.
88
00:04:49,823 --> 00:04:53,558
Politicians, scientists,
the UFO community...
89
00:04:53,661 --> 00:04:55,527
Everyone was scratching
their heads
90
00:04:55,629 --> 00:04:57,540
and saying, "What's going
on here? What is this?"
91
00:04:57,564 --> 00:05:00,999
Some people thought
that it was extraterrestrial.
92
00:05:01,101 --> 00:05:04,403
Others thought it was
a meteorological phenomenon
93
00:05:04,505 --> 00:05:06,171
of some sort.
94
00:05:06,273 --> 00:05:08,607
And other people said,
"Well, it must be a hoax."
95
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,881
NARRATOR: On September 9, 1991,
96
00:05:15,983 --> 00:05:18,684
two retirees
from the English countryside,
97
00:05:18,786 --> 00:05:23,822
Doug Bower and Dave Chorley,
came forward with an admission
98
00:05:23,924 --> 00:05:26,992
that they were behind
the crop formations.
99
00:05:27,094 --> 00:05:30,028
Using nothing more
than a board and strings,
100
00:05:30,130 --> 00:05:33,131
the hoaxers
demonstrated their technique
101
00:05:33,233 --> 00:05:37,369
for pressing down the crop
to form a design.
102
00:05:37,471 --> 00:05:40,872
HOWE: I won't forget
when the news came
103
00:05:40,974 --> 00:05:43,542
that there were these two men
104
00:05:43,644 --> 00:05:47,813
saying they were responsible
for all the crop formations.
105
00:05:47,915 --> 00:05:49,514
And immediately,
106
00:05:49,616 --> 00:05:51,983
because of all the work
that I had been doing was,
107
00:05:52,086 --> 00:05:55,754
well, they weren't traveling
to 23 nations,
108
00:05:55,856 --> 00:05:58,123
number one.
109
00:05:58,225 --> 00:06:00,726
Number two,
they were off-kilter.
110
00:06:00,828 --> 00:06:02,694
They were not geometric.
111
00:06:02,796 --> 00:06:06,932
And for those of us who have
been in real crop formations,
112
00:06:07,034 --> 00:06:09,601
there's just no comparison.
113
00:06:09,703 --> 00:06:12,571
MALLETT: Doug and Dave,
"the men that conned the world."
114
00:06:12,673 --> 00:06:14,706
That was the headline
in our local newspaper here.
115
00:06:14,808 --> 00:06:17,843
And these two men came forward
and said, "We done it all."
116
00:06:17,945 --> 00:06:22,781
We made all the crop circles
since 1976, everything."
117
00:06:22,883 --> 00:06:24,750
Most people pretty much
swallowed that,
118
00:06:24,852 --> 00:06:26,618
hook, line and sinker.
119
00:06:28,255 --> 00:06:29,988
POPE: There are some theories
120
00:06:30,090 --> 00:06:33,625
that, uh, Doug and Dave
were just government stooges,
121
00:06:33,727 --> 00:06:35,494
that, uh, the plan
122
00:06:35,596 --> 00:06:37,863
was to bring the whole subject
into disrepute,
123
00:06:37,965 --> 00:06:39,464
to discredit it,
124
00:06:39,566 --> 00:06:43,135
and to-to make the media
just go away.
125
00:06:43,237 --> 00:06:45,337
NARRATOR: But could it be
126
00:06:45,439 --> 00:06:47,839
that there is more
to the crop circle phenomenon
127
00:06:47,941 --> 00:06:51,676
than a modern-day hoax
orchestrated by pranksters?
128
00:06:51,779 --> 00:06:56,548
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes, and suggest
129
00:06:56,650 --> 00:07:00,018
that crop formations
are not, in fact,
130
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,454
a modern phenomenon at all,
131
00:07:02,556 --> 00:07:06,658
but can be traced back
hundreds of years.
132
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,729
JONATHAN YOUNG: There is
a report from the year 815,
133
00:07:10,831 --> 00:07:13,165
of the Bishop of Lyon,
134
00:07:13,267 --> 00:07:15,867
a warning,
notifying another priest
135
00:07:15,969 --> 00:07:18,170
who was going
to take over his parish
136
00:07:18,272 --> 00:07:20,572
that the locals
are involved in something
137
00:07:20,674 --> 00:07:22,340
he considers devil worship.
138
00:07:24,278 --> 00:07:26,578
They're gathering seeds
139
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,647
in a flattened circle
of the crops
140
00:07:28,749 --> 00:07:30,582
and using them
in fertility rituals.
141
00:07:33,353 --> 00:07:38,123
WILCOCK: There are some very
strange accounts in the 1600s.
142
00:07:38,225 --> 00:07:42,194
One of the original scientists,
Dr. Robert Plot,
143
00:07:42,296 --> 00:07:46,164
reported seeing crop circles
appearing on his land
144
00:07:46,266 --> 00:07:48,867
in Staffordshire, England.
145
00:07:48,969 --> 00:07:52,604
And he actually drew diagrams
of what he was seeing.
146
00:07:54,141 --> 00:07:57,242
We also have the infamous
legend, in the 1600s,
147
00:07:57,344 --> 00:07:59,611
of the so-called "mowing-devil."
148
00:08:01,849 --> 00:08:05,183
TSOUKALOS: One of the first
crop circles ever reported
149
00:08:05,285 --> 00:08:08,253
was a mowing-devil
that was in England
150
00:08:08,355 --> 00:08:10,589
going through the wheat fields.
151
00:08:10,691 --> 00:08:16,161
There's actually a woodcut
that shows what,
152
00:08:16,263 --> 00:08:18,897
for all intents and purposes,
looks like a crop circle,
153
00:08:18,999 --> 00:08:21,066
but has this black creature
154
00:08:21,168 --> 00:08:23,168
that just runs around
with the horns.
155
00:08:23,270 --> 00:08:25,470
So the idea was, in folklore,
156
00:08:25,572 --> 00:08:30,041
that something or someone
laid down this formation
157
00:08:30,143 --> 00:08:31,576
in a wheat field.
158
00:08:31,678 --> 00:08:34,479
And that goes back
all the way to 1678.
159
00:08:36,416 --> 00:08:40,151
Some even have suggested
that there may be a description
160
00:08:40,254 --> 00:08:44,256
of a crop circle
in the Dead Sea Scrolls.
161
00:08:44,358 --> 00:08:46,191
WILLIAM HENRY:
In the Dead Sea Scrolls
162
00:08:46,293 --> 00:08:49,094
is a cryptic reference
to a light
163
00:08:49,196 --> 00:08:52,964
that leaves a mark
on the ground.
164
00:08:53,066 --> 00:08:57,102
Interpreters ask: Is it possible
that the marks on the land...
165
00:08:57,204 --> 00:08:59,070
Specifically on the barley
and the lentil...
166
00:08:59,172 --> 00:09:01,273
Are crop circles?
167
00:09:04,111 --> 00:09:06,811
NARRATOR: Is it possible
that crop circles
168
00:09:06,914 --> 00:09:11,082
have appeared for hundreds,
if not thousands of years?
169
00:09:11,184 --> 00:09:15,186
And if so, could it be that
while some of these formations
170
00:09:15,289 --> 00:09:17,722
have been exposed as hoaxes,
171
00:09:17,824 --> 00:09:22,193
many others are connected
to otherworldly beings?
172
00:09:22,296 --> 00:09:25,263
Perhaps further clues
can be found
173
00:09:25,365 --> 00:09:29,534
by putting a man-made
crop formation to the test.
174
00:09:37,811 --> 00:09:40,579
NARRATOR: Wiltshire, England.
175
00:09:40,647 --> 00:09:43,381
This sleepy countryside,
176
00:09:43,483 --> 00:09:47,052
just over 100 miles
west of London,
177
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:51,623
is considered ground zero
for the crop circle phenomenon.
178
00:09:53,660 --> 00:09:57,896
It is also home to
many mysterious ancient sites,
179
00:09:57,998 --> 00:09:59,864
including Stonehenge,
180
00:09:59,933 --> 00:10:01,900
Avebury,
181
00:10:02,002 --> 00:10:04,235
Silbury Hill
182
00:10:04,338 --> 00:10:07,272
and West Kennet Long Barrow.
183
00:10:07,374 --> 00:10:10,141
MALLET:
One could quite reasonably
184
00:10:10,210 --> 00:10:12,978
and easy make the connection
that these crop circles
185
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:14,379
are happening in these places
186
00:10:14,481 --> 00:10:16,681
because these places
are markings
187
00:10:16,750 --> 00:10:18,483
of certain energetic corridors
188
00:10:18,552 --> 00:10:20,852
or crossover points
or very special places
189
00:10:20,921 --> 00:10:22,654
that were used by people
190
00:10:22,756 --> 00:10:25,557
in the past for presumably
metaphysical reasons...
191
00:10:25,659 --> 00:10:28,426
Meditating, praying,
ritual, whatever.
192
00:10:35,002 --> 00:10:37,969
NARRATOR: Today, ancient
astronaut theorist and explorer.
193
00:10:38,071 --> 00:10:40,205
Giorgio Tsoukalos
194
00:10:40,273 --> 00:10:42,340
is in Wiltshire
to meet up with three men
195
00:10:42,442 --> 00:10:45,076
who have a unique perspective
on crop formations.
196
00:10:45,178 --> 00:10:47,345
- Hi.
- Giorgio.
197
00:10:47,447 --> 00:10:48,880
John? Good to meet you.
198
00:10:48,982 --> 00:10:51,016
NARRATOR:
John Lundberg, Rob Irving
199
00:10:51,084 --> 00:10:55,220
and William Russell have
over two decades of experience
200
00:10:55,322 --> 00:10:58,423
creating artistic designs
in crops.
201
00:10:58,525 --> 00:11:00,825
So, thanks very much
for meeting me out here.
202
00:11:00,894 --> 00:11:02,927
NARRATOR: Giorgio will
challenge them to recreate
203
00:11:02,996 --> 00:11:06,998
a simple formation that many
crop circle investigators
204
00:11:07,100 --> 00:11:11,970
suggest cannot be
perfectly reproduced.
205
00:11:12,072 --> 00:11:15,674
In 2005, overnight,
206
00:11:15,776 --> 00:11:19,077
the Golden Ball formation
was created.
207
00:11:19,179 --> 00:11:21,079
This is what it looks
like right here.
208
00:11:21,148 --> 00:11:23,848
You might be familiar
with this one.
209
00:11:23,950 --> 00:11:25,316
Got the different circles.
210
00:11:25,419 --> 00:11:26,751
JOHN LUNDBERG: How big is it?
211
00:11:26,820 --> 00:11:29,487
- 96 feet in diameter.
- Okay.
212
00:11:29,589 --> 00:11:33,124
So it's not small,
it's fairly large, and, um,
213
00:11:33,226 --> 00:11:38,129
I was wondering
if you could recreate this.
214
00:11:40,333 --> 00:11:41,411
- We can certainly try, yeah.
- Right?
215
00:11:41,435 --> 00:11:42,233
Now, this was done overnight,
216
00:11:42,335 --> 00:11:44,069
so the most you'll have
217
00:11:44,171 --> 00:11:46,304
- is about five to seven hours.
- Okay.
218
00:11:46,406 --> 00:11:48,006
And you'll be using
these boards?
219
00:11:48,075 --> 00:11:49,808
Yeah, this is called
a stalk stomper,
220
00:11:49,876 --> 00:11:52,711
which is the tool that we use
for flattening the crop.
221
00:11:52,813 --> 00:11:54,746
All right, well,
shall we get started?
222
00:11:54,848 --> 00:11:56,414
- Sure.
- Okay. Let's do it.
223
00:11:58,485 --> 00:12:00,385
Well, you're starting
on the ring.
224
00:12:00,487 --> 00:12:02,787
NARRATOR:
John Lundberg and his team
225
00:12:02,889 --> 00:12:06,725
begin by measuring out
the design using a tape measure.
226
00:12:06,793 --> 00:12:08,893
This one, here.
227
00:12:08,962 --> 00:12:10,573
NARRATOR: After determining
where to place the edges,
228
00:12:10,597 --> 00:12:14,399
they use their wooden stalk
stompers to shuffle their way
229
00:12:14,501 --> 00:12:19,037
across the upright stems
to create the desired pattern.
230
00:12:19,139 --> 00:12:21,773
Keep going.
231
00:12:36,056 --> 00:12:39,224
NARRATOR: The team is able
to complete the challenge
232
00:12:39,326 --> 00:12:42,794
within the allotted time.
233
00:12:42,863 --> 00:12:44,262
Well, that was quick.
234
00:12:44,331 --> 00:12:45,764
Pretty good, huh?
235
00:12:45,866 --> 00:12:47,265
Really good stuff.
236
00:12:47,334 --> 00:12:48,967
- All right.
- Thanks.
237
00:12:49,069 --> 00:12:53,037
So, did you guys encounter
any problems or any challenges?
238
00:12:53,140 --> 00:12:54,205
I think the only problem
239
00:12:54,307 --> 00:12:56,374
is-is the crop is a bit
kind of tangly.
240
00:12:56,476 --> 00:12:57,976
But I-I'm happy with it.
241
00:12:58,044 --> 00:13:00,044
I think it should look great
from the air.
242
00:13:03,850 --> 00:13:05,450
Some more altitude.
243
00:13:05,552 --> 00:13:06,885
Keep going. Going up, going up.
244
00:13:06,953 --> 00:13:08,419
NARRATOR: In order to get
245
00:13:08,488 --> 00:13:11,623
a side-by-side comparison
of the designs,
246
00:13:11,691 --> 00:13:16,027
Giorgio enlists the assistance
of a local drone team.
247
00:13:16,129 --> 00:13:20,098
They send a camera up
over the field.
248
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,400
MAN: Climb a bit.
249
00:13:22,502 --> 00:13:25,069
And hold there.
250
00:13:25,138 --> 00:13:27,138
Oh, wow.
251
00:13:29,042 --> 00:13:32,243
I mean, it's
a really nice recreation.
252
00:13:32,312 --> 00:13:34,312
There's no question about it.
253
00:13:34,414 --> 00:13:36,114
- Pretty identical.
- Yeah.
254
00:13:36,216 --> 00:13:37,515
Can't tell
the difference really.
255
00:13:37,584 --> 00:13:39,017
They're really impressive.
256
00:13:39,119 --> 00:13:41,519
NARRATOR: While the recreation
257
00:13:41,588 --> 00:13:43,855
of the Golden Ball Hill
formation
258
00:13:43,957 --> 00:13:48,493
looks very similar
to the original from the air,
259
00:13:48,595 --> 00:13:52,664
crop circle researchers suggest
260
00:13:52,766 --> 00:13:54,833
that what made the formation
truly unique
261
00:13:54,935 --> 00:13:57,936
was not how it appeared
from above,
262
00:13:58,038 --> 00:14:00,939
but how it appeared
on the ground.
263
00:14:07,113 --> 00:14:10,348
So to examine
the recreation up close,
264
00:14:10,450 --> 00:14:13,852
Giorgio meets up
with crop circle investigator
265
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:15,153
Charles Mallet.
266
00:14:15,255 --> 00:14:16,821
Hi, Charles.
267
00:14:16,923 --> 00:14:18,167
- Hey, Giorgio.
- Pleasure to meet you.
268
00:14:18,191 --> 00:14:19,424
- How are you?
- I'm okay.
269
00:14:19,526 --> 00:14:21,292
You're good?
Come to the center here.
270
00:14:21,394 --> 00:14:23,728
NARRATOR:
Mallet has been researching
271
00:14:23,830 --> 00:14:26,998
the crop circle phenomenon
since the 1990s,
272
00:14:27,100 --> 00:14:30,068
and was one of the first
investigators on the ground
273
00:14:30,170 --> 00:14:35,874
of the Golden Ball Hill pattern
when it appeared in 2005.
274
00:14:35,976 --> 00:14:38,343
What are the telltale signs
275
00:14:38,445 --> 00:14:40,011
that leads you to believe
that something
276
00:14:40,113 --> 00:14:43,281
is real or man-made,
or real, whatever that means.
277
00:14:43,350 --> 00:14:45,250
I think we have
to get over the-the notion
278
00:14:45,352 --> 00:14:46,918
that people can't
make shapes in fields.
279
00:14:47,020 --> 00:14:49,554
People can make really
impressive shapes in fields.
280
00:14:49,656 --> 00:14:51,901
So we have to get down there and
look at the physical evidence
281
00:14:51,925 --> 00:14:54,058
before we start
taking it further.
282
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,405
When I stand in this formation,
I look at the carpet of flowers
283
00:14:56,429 --> 00:14:58,997
across the top of these plants,
and then I look on the ground.
284
00:14:59,099 --> 00:15:03,167
I see two separate situations...
Undamaged and damaged,
285
00:15:03,270 --> 00:15:06,537
because they used
a physical device,
286
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:08,373
and it's men stepping
with planks of wood.
287
00:15:08,475 --> 00:15:11,542
So it's crush,
crush, crush, crush.
288
00:15:11,645 --> 00:15:14,112
And it produces a really
clear pattern of damage.
289
00:15:14,180 --> 00:15:17,181
So there's a lot of the flowers
have just been wiped off.
290
00:15:17,284 --> 00:15:20,084
- And then if we were able to...
- Sure.
291
00:15:20,186 --> 00:15:23,187
To maybe come and look
right down into the detail.
292
00:15:23,290 --> 00:15:27,992
We need to just look at
some, uh, stems here.
293
00:15:28,094 --> 00:15:31,296
Here's a good example
of what happens
294
00:15:31,364 --> 00:15:33,698
to oilseed rape plants
295
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:35,700
when they're physically
pushed to the ground.
296
00:15:35,802 --> 00:15:40,371
Huge, ugly kink,
very mechanical.
297
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:45,276
Down here, there's bruising
and scraping down the stems.
298
00:15:45,345 --> 00:15:47,156
What you're suggesting
or what you're telling me
299
00:15:47,180 --> 00:15:52,050
is that in a non-man-made,
uh, scenario,
300
00:15:52,152 --> 00:15:54,052
the stalks would not be
broken like this.
301
00:15:54,154 --> 00:15:55,154
Absolutely.
302
00:15:58,858 --> 00:16:00,358
Can you show me
some of those pictures
303
00:16:00,427 --> 00:16:01,960
that you brought
to see the comparison?
304
00:16:02,062 --> 00:16:03,227
Yeah, yeah, sure.
305
00:16:03,330 --> 00:16:04,996
Great.
306
00:16:05,065 --> 00:16:06,965
These are from taken
from the original
307
00:16:07,067 --> 00:16:09,600
2005 formation here.
308
00:16:09,703 --> 00:16:13,671
This is what I would expect
to see in a real crop circle.
309
00:16:15,775 --> 00:16:18,276
NARRATOR: Incredibly,
none of the flower heads
310
00:16:18,345 --> 00:16:22,347
on the original
2005 Golden Ball Hill formation
311
00:16:22,449 --> 00:16:25,283
were damaged or destroyed.
312
00:16:25,352 --> 00:16:28,519
And the seamless
lay of flowers suggests
313
00:16:28,621 --> 00:16:32,056
that it was not mechanically
produced using boards
314
00:16:32,158 --> 00:16:34,425
and shuffling over the stalks.
315
00:16:36,429 --> 00:16:39,664
In the original 2005 formation,
316
00:16:39,766 --> 00:16:41,499
there's nothing physical,
nothing local,
317
00:16:41,601 --> 00:16:43,301
nothing mechanical
made this circle.
318
00:16:43,403 --> 00:16:46,270
That really opens the door
to so many possibilities.
319
00:16:46,339 --> 00:16:47,772
And the honest answer is:
320
00:16:47,874 --> 00:16:49,385
We do not know where these
circles are coming from,
321
00:16:49,409 --> 00:16:50,475
the real ones.
322
00:16:52,979 --> 00:16:55,279
NARRATOR: If the
Golden Ball Hill formation
323
00:16:55,382 --> 00:16:59,317
was not made with boards,
then how was it created?
324
00:16:59,419 --> 00:17:01,519
And by whom?
325
00:17:01,588 --> 00:17:04,689
Perhaps further clues
can be found
326
00:17:04,791 --> 00:17:07,191
by examining
the intriguing evidence
327
00:17:07,293 --> 00:17:10,061
left behind at the scene.
328
00:17:13,033 --> 00:17:15,133
NARRATOR: Ann Arbor, Michigan.
329
00:17:15,235 --> 00:17:19,437
At the height of the crop circle
phenomenon in the 1990s,
330
00:17:19,539 --> 00:17:23,474
former University of Michigan
research physicist.
331
00:17:23,576 --> 00:17:28,312
W.C. Levengood and his team
at BLT Research
332
00:17:28,415 --> 00:17:31,115
began scientifically
analyzing samples
333
00:17:31,217 --> 00:17:34,685
from various crop formations
found throughout the world.
334
00:17:34,788 --> 00:17:38,122
ELTJO H. HASELHOFF: The BLT team
performed many different tests,
335
00:17:38,191 --> 00:17:41,125
from simple inspection
under a microscope,
336
00:17:41,227 --> 00:17:44,128
chemical analyses of the soils
and the plants,
337
00:17:44,230 --> 00:17:47,965
germination tests, uh, node
length measurements and so on.
338
00:17:48,068 --> 00:17:50,968
They produced, uh,
many, many lab reports
339
00:17:51,071 --> 00:17:53,404
and a couple
scientific papers as well
340
00:17:53,506 --> 00:17:56,774
in which they explained
what they found.
341
00:17:56,876 --> 00:18:00,645
We found that there are
two scientifically-documented,
342
00:18:00,747 --> 00:18:03,481
all-over-the-world changes.
343
00:18:03,583 --> 00:18:07,085
The first is
the apical node elongation.
344
00:18:07,153 --> 00:18:10,521
Most crops have four
or even five nodes,
345
00:18:10,590 --> 00:18:13,558
and they are the knuckle-like
protuberances
346
00:18:13,660 --> 00:18:16,027
that are found
along the plant stem
347
00:18:16,129 --> 00:18:18,029
all the way down to the ground.
348
00:18:18,131 --> 00:18:19,931
The apical node
349
00:18:20,033 --> 00:18:23,701
is the very first node
beneath the seed head,
350
00:18:23,770 --> 00:18:28,239
and that node becomes
elongated, stretched,
351
00:18:28,341 --> 00:18:32,610
as compared to the control nodes
in the rest of the field.
352
00:18:32,679 --> 00:18:35,580
Now, the node elongation can be
353
00:18:35,682 --> 00:18:38,382
a range actually
between, say, 45%
354
00:18:38,485 --> 00:18:42,153
and over 200% elongation.
355
00:18:42,222 --> 00:18:46,591
The second visible plant change
that is well tested
356
00:18:46,693 --> 00:18:47,925
are the expulsion cavities,
357
00:18:48,027 --> 00:18:51,696
holes blown out
at the lower stem nodes,
358
00:18:51,764 --> 00:18:55,166
usually the second but sometimes
also the third and fourth nodes.
359
00:18:55,235 --> 00:18:59,103
And literally, they're holes
blown out at the nodes.
360
00:18:59,205 --> 00:19:01,139
Best I can tell,
361
00:19:01,207 --> 00:19:04,509
these visible changes
are beyond the capability
362
00:19:04,577 --> 00:19:07,512
of humans at this point in time.
363
00:19:07,580 --> 00:19:11,682
This is indicative
of some kind of intense heat
364
00:19:11,751 --> 00:19:14,285
that has hit the stalk
365
00:19:14,387 --> 00:19:18,256
and actually physically
changed it.
366
00:19:18,358 --> 00:19:21,759
Who or what
would have done this?
367
00:19:25,932 --> 00:19:27,765
NARRATOR:
Could the physical anomalies
368
00:19:27,834 --> 00:19:30,301
found within some crop circles
369
00:19:30,403 --> 00:19:32,703
be evidence
that they were created
370
00:19:32,805 --> 00:19:35,673
with advanced technology?
371
00:19:35,742 --> 00:19:39,744
And, if so, what might
this technology be?
372
00:19:41,748 --> 00:19:43,414
Pleasure to meet you.
373
00:19:43,483 --> 00:19:46,617
NARRATOR: In January of 2000,
using his own data
374
00:19:46,719 --> 00:19:50,588
as well as data collected
by BLT Research,
375
00:19:50,657 --> 00:19:54,458
Dr. Eltjo Haselhoff
published a scientific paper
376
00:19:54,561 --> 00:19:58,129
suggesting that the formations
might be created
377
00:19:58,198 --> 00:20:02,166
by an unknown electromagnetic
energy source.
378
00:20:04,470 --> 00:20:07,171
So you've actually done
scientific analysis
379
00:20:07,273 --> 00:20:09,073
on some of those formations.
380
00:20:09,175 --> 00:20:12,176
So what were some of
your conclusions?
381
00:20:12,278 --> 00:20:15,279
The hypothesis is that
somehow electromagnetic energy
382
00:20:15,381 --> 00:20:18,282
is involved in the creation
of these crop circles,
383
00:20:18,384 --> 00:20:22,153
and that somehow this energy
causes node elongation.
384
00:20:22,255 --> 00:20:24,322
So the nodes in the stems
get longer.
385
00:20:24,424 --> 00:20:26,891
And the more energy,
the longer the nodes are.
386
00:20:26,993 --> 00:20:29,927
And that is very interesting,
because all you need to do
387
00:20:29,996 --> 00:20:32,930
is take a cross section
across a circle, like this,
388
00:20:32,999 --> 00:20:35,199
and measure the node length
in each of these positions.
389
00:20:37,337 --> 00:20:38,836
And actually,
this is what you see.
390
00:20:38,905 --> 00:20:40,938
This is in... at the perimeter.
391
00:20:41,007 --> 00:20:43,341
See these nodes,
these dark areas?
392
00:20:43,443 --> 00:20:46,344
This is somewhere halfway,
and that's in the center.
393
00:20:46,446 --> 00:20:48,224
So, you see, there is a huge
difference in node length.
394
00:20:48,248 --> 00:20:49,747
TSOUKALOS: I mean, it's a hu...
395
00:20:49,816 --> 00:20:51,716
I mean, this is fascinating;
This is incredible.
396
00:20:51,818 --> 00:20:53,629
HASELHOFF: And it's not
just a little bit. -Okay.
397
00:20:53,653 --> 00:20:55,953
It's a difference in size
between a horse and an elephant.
398
00:20:56,055 --> 00:20:57,355
It's-it's very,
very significant,
399
00:20:57,457 --> 00:20:59,824
so you can actually make
a graph of this.
400
00:20:59,926 --> 00:21:01,826
So this is the node length
at the edge,
401
00:21:01,894 --> 00:21:04,962
when the node length is
about two millimeters.
402
00:21:05,064 --> 00:21:06,475
So this is in the center
of the circle,
403
00:21:06,499 --> 00:21:09,467
and the node length is,
like, 4.2 millimeters.
404
00:21:09,535 --> 00:21:12,803
And going towards the perimeter,
that's about two millimeters.
405
00:21:12,905 --> 00:21:15,840
You see, there is a massive
change in node length.
406
00:21:15,908 --> 00:21:17,508
They're actually
more than twice as long.
407
00:21:17,610 --> 00:21:19,777
Yeah, I mean, what, uh,
what would do this?
408
00:21:19,879 --> 00:21:21,912
That's, uh, quite weird.
409
00:21:21,981 --> 00:21:23,759
HASELHOFF: Well, in this case,
it was very interesting,
410
00:21:23,783 --> 00:21:26,851
because this crop circle, uh,
actually had an eyewitness
411
00:21:26,953 --> 00:21:28,319
when it was... when it formed.
412
00:21:28,421 --> 00:21:31,856
And the eyewitness says,
"I saw a ball of light,
413
00:21:31,958 --> 00:21:33,858
and it was standing still."
414
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:35,760
And that is very important,
415
00:21:35,862 --> 00:21:37,702
because when a ball of light
is standing still,
416
00:21:37,797 --> 00:21:39,230
we can very accurately predict
417
00:21:39,332 --> 00:21:42,400
how the energy will be
distributed on the ground.
418
00:21:42,502 --> 00:21:46,037
And we know that there will be
more energy in the center.
419
00:21:46,139 --> 00:21:49,407
And the more energy,
the longer the nodes are.
420
00:21:49,509 --> 00:21:51,787
And we can also predict what
the node length would have been.
421
00:21:51,811 --> 00:21:53,911
So you can check
your hypothesis.
422
00:21:53,980 --> 00:21:56,380
And in this case,
it was a perfect match.
423
00:21:56,482 --> 00:21:57,815
Wow.
424
00:21:57,884 --> 00:21:59,583
Amazing, isn't it?
425
00:21:59,686 --> 00:22:01,130
Now, this is where I get
the goose bumps,
426
00:22:01,154 --> 00:22:05,056
because clearly
there is something there,
427
00:22:05,158 --> 00:22:09,927
and no one denies that
many of them are man-made,
428
00:22:10,029 --> 00:22:11,962
but then there is
something bizarre.
429
00:22:12,065 --> 00:22:15,933
Do you have any... idea
430
00:22:16,035 --> 00:22:19,970
how, or who, might be behind it?
431
00:22:21,774 --> 00:22:24,275
That's a very
difficult question.
432
00:22:24,344 --> 00:22:26,610
What I can say about that is...
433
00:22:28,381 --> 00:22:31,048
I don't know.
434
00:22:31,150 --> 00:22:35,720
So it is something that remains
a giant question mark.
435
00:22:35,788 --> 00:22:37,321
Absolutely, yes.
436
00:22:38,758 --> 00:22:42,727
I find it very disheartening
in a weird way
437
00:22:42,829 --> 00:22:46,831
that something as open
as crop formations
438
00:22:46,933 --> 00:22:51,702
are not studied closer
by the scientific community,
439
00:22:51,771 --> 00:22:55,106
that they are just
offhandedly dismissed
440
00:22:55,208 --> 00:22:58,809
as flat-out hoaxes
from the get-go,
441
00:22:58,878 --> 00:23:02,046
when there is concise
scientific evidence
442
00:23:02,148 --> 00:23:06,884
that not every crop circle
is man-made.
443
00:23:06,953 --> 00:23:11,555
Maybe the origin
is extraterrestrial.
444
00:23:11,657 --> 00:23:14,358
NARRATOR:
Does this peer-reviewed
445
00:23:14,460 --> 00:23:17,528
scientific research
provide evidence
446
00:23:17,597 --> 00:23:21,465
that not all crop formations
are the product of hoaxers?
447
00:23:21,567 --> 00:23:26,103
And, if so, could there be
an otherworldly,
448
00:23:26,205 --> 00:23:30,341
perhaps extraterrestrial,
origin to them?
449
00:23:30,410 --> 00:23:33,477
Perhaps further clues
can be found
450
00:23:33,579 --> 00:23:38,582
by exploring eyewitness accounts
of the crop circle phenomenon.
451
00:23:40,953 --> 00:23:42,653
NARRATOR: Salisbury, England.
452
00:23:42,755 --> 00:23:46,290
July 7, 2007.
453
00:23:46,392 --> 00:23:51,128
Local paralegal and crop circle
researcher Gary King
454
00:23:51,197 --> 00:23:54,465
spends the night camping out
on Knap Hill,
455
00:23:54,567 --> 00:23:58,569
an area known for sightings
of mysterious orbs
456
00:23:58,671 --> 00:24:00,538
and other strange occurrences.
457
00:24:02,809 --> 00:24:04,608
It was the seventh of July 2007,
458
00:24:04,710 --> 00:24:06,630
so because it was
a kind of an auspicious date...
459
00:24:06,712 --> 00:24:10,014
The seven-seven-seven...
We decided we'd come here.
460
00:24:10,116 --> 00:24:11,894
I came here with my girlfriend
to do a night watch.
461
00:24:11,918 --> 00:24:13,962
So we arrived here, and at
about 3:00 in the morning,
462
00:24:13,986 --> 00:24:15,486
we had a big white
flash of light,
463
00:24:15,555 --> 00:24:17,188
which completely
encompassed the sky.
464
00:24:19,091 --> 00:24:20,736
And about 20 minutes
after that, we looked,
465
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,461
and we could see this crop
circle laid out in front of us.
466
00:24:25,932 --> 00:24:27,865
The field it appeared in
was this field here
467
00:24:27,934 --> 00:24:29,667
to the right that's yellow now.
468
00:24:29,735 --> 00:24:32,303
It was actually wheat
the year that it occurred,
469
00:24:32,371 --> 00:24:33,804
but they rotate the crops.
470
00:24:33,906 --> 00:24:36,173
And it started from way back
at... near those trees
471
00:24:36,275 --> 00:24:37,875
and then came over the brow
of this hill.
472
00:24:37,910 --> 00:24:40,010
It was absolutely enormous.
473
00:24:43,015 --> 00:24:47,651
NARRATOR: The crop formation
extended 1,033 feet long
474
00:24:47,753 --> 00:24:49,820
and 490 feet wide.
475
00:24:52,558 --> 00:24:54,492
The over two-acre design
476
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,895
contained
150 individual circles...
477
00:24:57,997 --> 00:25:01,899
The largest, 164 feet across.
478
00:25:04,003 --> 00:25:05,903
KING:
I have no idea what made it.
479
00:25:06,005 --> 00:25:07,671
What I do know though is that
480
00:25:07,740 --> 00:25:09,373
people with boards
didn't make this.
481
00:25:13,279 --> 00:25:16,180
NARRATOR: Gary King's
experience is just one
482
00:25:16,282 --> 00:25:18,749
of many firsthand accounts
of designs
483
00:25:18,818 --> 00:25:22,286
that mysteriously appear
in a short period of time.
484
00:25:25,458 --> 00:25:28,859
It is documented that there are
approximately 70 cases
485
00:25:28,961 --> 00:25:31,962
of people having
an eyewitness sighting
486
00:25:32,064 --> 00:25:33,898
of the formation
of a crop circle
487
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,333
where they are literally
standing there in the crop,
488
00:25:36,435 --> 00:25:40,304
and it just spontaneously forms
in front of them.
489
00:25:40,406 --> 00:25:44,341
There is a loud tweeting sound
in a lot of cases.
490
00:25:44,443 --> 00:25:46,243
And then this sort of
491
00:25:46,345 --> 00:25:48,913
crackling electrostatic
charge on the crops.
492
00:25:48,981 --> 00:25:50,915
And then you just watch as
493
00:25:50,983 --> 00:25:53,851
almost like an oriental fan
is unrolling,
494
00:25:53,953 --> 00:25:56,353
just... (imitates whooshing)
the crops just fold down.
495
00:25:56,455 --> 00:25:58,889
In a matter of three seconds,
it's all finished.
496
00:25:58,991 --> 00:26:01,892
NARRATOR:
Crop circle researchers cite
497
00:26:01,994 --> 00:26:04,295
that many of these
eyewitness accounts
498
00:26:04,397 --> 00:26:06,964
include sightings
of strange lights
499
00:26:07,066 --> 00:26:09,166
in and around a formation.
500
00:26:15,408 --> 00:26:17,942
Milk Hill, Wiltshire, England.
501
00:26:18,044 --> 00:26:20,077
1991.
502
00:26:20,146 --> 00:26:24,181
Steve Alexander,
a local photographer,
503
00:26:24,250 --> 00:26:26,383
is filming footage
of a crop formation
504
00:26:26,485 --> 00:26:27,885
from a neighboring hill,
505
00:26:27,987 --> 00:26:30,387
when he captures
a strange metallic light
506
00:26:30,489 --> 00:26:32,323
floating in the field below.
507
00:26:36,162 --> 00:26:37,461
MALLETT: His camera caught sight
508
00:26:37,563 --> 00:26:39,797
of what seemed to be
a white orb of light
509
00:26:39,865 --> 00:26:44,268
flying right across this field
right next to a crop circle.
510
00:26:44,337 --> 00:26:46,570
That orb of light,
whatever it was,
511
00:26:46,672 --> 00:26:49,873
flew directly over a tractor
working in the next field down.
512
00:26:49,976 --> 00:26:53,410
And later on, that farmer
was contacted, and he said,
513
00:26:53,479 --> 00:26:55,512
"I saw this weird orb of light
514
00:26:55,615 --> 00:26:58,949
about the size of a melon or
something fly over my tractor."
515
00:27:03,856 --> 00:27:07,091
I myself have seen several,
516
00:27:07,193 --> 00:27:09,827
and they are astonishing
in their brightness.
517
00:27:11,330 --> 00:27:15,265
We are dealing
with intelligent plasmas
518
00:27:15,334 --> 00:27:18,235
that are sending
and receiving information
519
00:27:18,337 --> 00:27:22,473
for another intelligence
of unknown origin.
520
00:27:26,512 --> 00:27:28,445
Orbs of light are
521
00:27:28,547 --> 00:27:31,482
a commonly associated phenomenon
with crop circles,
522
00:27:31,584 --> 00:27:33,584
and this goes all the way
back to the story
523
00:27:33,686 --> 00:27:35,953
of the mowing-devil in 1678.
524
00:27:38,958 --> 00:27:42,593
The sighting of lights is often
associated with these phenomena,
525
00:27:42,662 --> 00:27:46,864
and they do seem to suggest
something we don't understand.
526
00:27:46,932 --> 00:27:51,001
The ghost lights,
the will-o'-the-wisp sightings
527
00:27:51,103 --> 00:27:55,572
represented some force of nature
we had not entirely acknowledged
528
00:27:55,675 --> 00:27:57,675
or given sufficient respect to,
529
00:27:57,777 --> 00:28:01,845
some mystery that we need
to come to grips with.
530
00:28:03,749 --> 00:28:05,983
WILCOCK:
It could be an actual craft,
531
00:28:06,085 --> 00:28:08,986
or it could potentially be
something like the stylus
532
00:28:09,088 --> 00:28:12,222
from an extraterrestrial hand
that is somewhere far away,
533
00:28:12,291 --> 00:28:16,060
but this light is the projected
form of a technology
534
00:28:16,128 --> 00:28:18,929
being used from the safety
and comfort of space.
535
00:28:20,833 --> 00:28:24,868
We have to imagine an advanced
extraterrestrial race
536
00:28:24,937 --> 00:28:27,171
sending out orbs of light
537
00:28:27,273 --> 00:28:30,374
that are sort of like peepholes
for exploration.
538
00:28:32,211 --> 00:28:35,179
They come to a planet,
they find something interesting,
539
00:28:35,281 --> 00:28:38,148
the peephole opens
into a portal,
540
00:28:38,250 --> 00:28:41,185
perhaps through which these
advanced visitors can pass,
541
00:28:41,287 --> 00:28:44,021
or perhaps through which
a human could even enter
542
00:28:44,123 --> 00:28:46,657
and travel to the home planet
of the orb.
543
00:28:46,759 --> 00:28:48,959
Is this what a crop circle is?
544
00:28:49,028 --> 00:28:53,564
To me, the proliferation
of wormhole-themed crop circles
545
00:28:53,666 --> 00:28:56,800
tells us that this is
the method of communication
546
00:28:56,902 --> 00:29:00,137
as well as travel
of these advanced visitors.
547
00:29:00,206 --> 00:29:02,740
There is a possibility
548
00:29:02,842 --> 00:29:05,709
that we are dealing with
time travelers.
549
00:29:05,811 --> 00:29:09,546
The time travelers are using
the crop formations
550
00:29:09,648 --> 00:29:14,585
to judge the accuracy
of their time travel.
551
00:29:14,653 --> 00:29:19,990
So are the crop formations
designed for humans at all?
552
00:29:22,995 --> 00:29:26,563
NARRATOR: Just what purpose
do crop circles serve?
553
00:29:26,632 --> 00:29:29,199
Are they landing codes
for time travelers,
554
00:29:29,268 --> 00:29:32,102
as some crop circle
investigators suggest?
555
00:29:34,006 --> 00:29:35,672
Or is it possible
556
00:29:35,775 --> 00:29:39,076
that they serve
as a communication medium?
557
00:29:39,178 --> 00:29:42,579
One only meant
for us to discover
558
00:29:42,681 --> 00:29:47,050
once we evolved enough
to discern them from the sky.
559
00:29:51,490 --> 00:29:53,023
NARRATOR: Winchester, England.
560
00:29:53,125 --> 00:29:56,126
August 15, 2002.
561
00:29:58,764 --> 00:30:00,998
A crop formation
bearing the image
562
00:30:01,100 --> 00:30:05,969
of what appears to be a Grey
alien emerges in a wheat field.
563
00:30:08,841 --> 00:30:11,008
At the bottom right corner
of the image
564
00:30:11,110 --> 00:30:13,177
is a disk-shaped object
565
00:30:13,279 --> 00:30:16,947
containing what some believe
to be binary code,
566
00:30:17,049 --> 00:30:21,318
a computer language
consisting of ones and zeros.
567
00:30:24,156 --> 00:30:26,056
There was a crop formation
568
00:30:26,158 --> 00:30:30,360
that unmistakably looks like
an extraterrestrial,
569
00:30:30,462 --> 00:30:33,130
the proverbial Grey
with the almond eyes
570
00:30:33,232 --> 00:30:35,465
and the triangular-shaped head.
571
00:30:35,568 --> 00:30:37,401
There's also at the bottom,
572
00:30:37,503 --> 00:30:39,236
there seems to be
a computer disk
573
00:30:39,338 --> 00:30:41,605
and what looked like
binary code.
574
00:30:43,742 --> 00:30:45,976
The message allegedly says,
575
00:30:46,078 --> 00:30:50,981
"Beware the bearers of false
gifts and their broken promises.
576
00:30:51,083 --> 00:30:54,151
"Much pain, but still time.
577
00:30:54,253 --> 00:30:55,853
"There is good out there.
578
00:30:55,955 --> 00:30:57,988
"We oppose deceivers.
579
00:30:58,090 --> 00:31:00,023
Conduit closing."
580
00:31:02,127 --> 00:31:04,995
It was warning humanity
581
00:31:05,097 --> 00:31:08,131
about the deceivers,
about dangers.
582
00:31:10,903 --> 00:31:15,639
NARRATOR: Just a year prior,
on August 21, 2001,
583
00:31:15,741 --> 00:31:20,010
another formation that contained
binary code appeared
584
00:31:20,112 --> 00:31:24,047
in a wheat field next to the
Chilbolton Radio Observatory.
585
00:31:24,149 --> 00:31:28,919
Researchers are convinced
that the design was a response
586
00:31:29,021 --> 00:31:31,922
to a message that was
transmitted into space
587
00:31:32,024 --> 00:31:36,827
by astronomers Frank Drake
and Carl Sagan in 1974.
588
00:31:38,764 --> 00:31:40,964
In November of 1974,
589
00:31:41,066 --> 00:31:44,201
Carl Sagan and Drake
at Cornell University
590
00:31:44,303 --> 00:31:47,371
sent out from
Arecibo, Puerto Rico,
591
00:31:47,473 --> 00:31:50,641
a signal of binary code
about Earth
592
00:31:50,743 --> 00:31:53,543
to whoever in the cosmos
would receive our signal.
593
00:31:53,646 --> 00:31:56,179
NARRATOR:
The original message contained
594
00:31:56,282 --> 00:31:58,482
binary-encoded information,
595
00:31:58,584 --> 00:32:01,285
including the numbers
one through ten,
596
00:32:01,387 --> 00:32:05,856
an image of our DNA strand,
the figure of a human,
597
00:32:05,958 --> 00:32:08,125
and a graphic
of the solar system
598
00:32:08,227 --> 00:32:10,861
with the position
of Earth highlighted.
599
00:32:12,064 --> 00:32:14,197
It echoed absolutely,
600
00:32:14,300 --> 00:32:16,833
line by line by line.
601
00:32:19,438 --> 00:32:22,172
The DNA did not look like
double helix.
602
00:32:22,274 --> 00:32:24,107
It was very bizarre.
603
00:32:24,209 --> 00:32:27,945
And then when you got down,
instead of a six-foot human,
604
00:32:28,047 --> 00:32:32,082
it was this thing that was
maybe a third the height
605
00:32:32,184 --> 00:32:34,384
of the human in Carl Sagan,
606
00:32:34,486 --> 00:32:40,223
and it was associated
with a strange solar system.
607
00:32:40,326 --> 00:32:45,128
It was a very complex, very
strange, one-of-a-kind pattern.
608
00:32:45,230 --> 00:32:47,631
We'd never seen
anything like it before.
609
00:32:50,636 --> 00:32:54,204
NARRATOR:
In 2004, a mysterious rock
610
00:32:54,306 --> 00:32:57,374
was found near
the Roswell crash site
611
00:32:57,476 --> 00:32:59,409
bearing the same image
as a crop circle
612
00:32:59,511 --> 00:33:01,878
that was discovered
in Chiseldon, England,
613
00:33:01,981 --> 00:33:05,248
on August 2, 1996.
614
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,922
On the Roswell Rock, you have
an almost identical symbol
615
00:33:12,024 --> 00:33:13,857
in England.
616
00:33:13,959 --> 00:33:16,693
To me, it's very fascinating,
because it essentially shows
617
00:33:16,795 --> 00:33:21,064
that they're trying
to somehow communicate with us.
618
00:33:21,166 --> 00:33:27,237
So the idea is that perhaps
some of these crop circles
619
00:33:27,339 --> 00:33:31,308
indeed are messages
from elsewhere.
620
00:33:31,410 --> 00:33:33,343
And elsewhere, in my opinion,
621
00:33:33,445 --> 00:33:36,079
means of
extraterrestrial origin.
622
00:33:38,817 --> 00:33:41,785
NARRATOR: Could it be
that some crop formations
623
00:33:41,887 --> 00:33:45,856
serve as a medium for
extraterrestrial communication?
624
00:33:47,693 --> 00:33:50,727
Many crop circle researchers
say yes,
625
00:33:50,829 --> 00:33:54,297
and suggest further evidence
of this can be found
626
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:58,702
by examining the advanced
astronomical, scientific,
627
00:33:58,804 --> 00:34:02,205
and mathematical equations
contained within them.
628
00:34:04,276 --> 00:34:06,343
One formation
had everyone baffled,
629
00:34:06,445 --> 00:34:08,345
and people were saying,
"Well, what is this?"
630
00:34:08,447 --> 00:34:11,548
Then a mathematician
had a look at it and said,
631
00:34:11,650 --> 00:34:14,951
"Wait a minute,
that's a representation of pi.
632
00:34:15,054 --> 00:34:18,055
And it's correct
down to ten decimal places."
633
00:34:20,092 --> 00:34:22,926
It's a representation
of pi in a geometric sense.
634
00:34:23,028 --> 00:34:26,830
It's kind of interesting because
the way you get pi out of it
635
00:34:26,932 --> 00:34:29,332
is the lengths of the different
arcs in each segment.
636
00:34:29,435 --> 00:34:31,935
And what happens is
there's these little notches
637
00:34:32,037 --> 00:34:35,405
in the spiral that let you know
you're at the end of an arc.
638
00:34:35,507 --> 00:34:37,808
So you actually have to measure
the arc lengths
639
00:34:37,910 --> 00:34:39,176
as you go around,
640
00:34:39,278 --> 00:34:41,311
and their lengths
give you the digits of pi.
641
00:34:41,413 --> 00:34:44,114
And there's a little circle
to give you the decimal point.
642
00:34:44,216 --> 00:34:47,417
So it's a really interesting
example of using geometry
643
00:34:47,519 --> 00:34:50,087
as a code for representing
digits and numbers.
644
00:34:52,157 --> 00:34:55,092
POPE: It just shows
the level of knowledge,
645
00:34:55,194 --> 00:34:57,961
mathematical knowledge,
geometric skill
646
00:34:58,063 --> 00:35:01,164
that goes into
making these things.
647
00:35:01,266 --> 00:35:05,202
Many of the most famous
crop circles
648
00:35:05,304 --> 00:35:07,871
actually derive
from fractal patterns.
649
00:35:10,008 --> 00:35:13,777
The Mandelbrot set,
650
00:35:13,879 --> 00:35:16,313
the Julia set.
651
00:35:16,415 --> 00:35:20,217
To make these, you have
to have knowledge of math.
652
00:35:20,319 --> 00:35:23,753
Mathematics is, of course,
the universal language.
653
00:35:23,856 --> 00:35:26,089
If we ever encounter aliens,
654
00:35:26,191 --> 00:35:28,391
they're not gonna speak
English or French or German.
655
00:35:28,494 --> 00:35:30,927
We'll speak
and we'll communicate
656
00:35:31,029 --> 00:35:32,529
via mathematics.
657
00:35:32,631 --> 00:35:36,066
Could crop circles...
As some believe...
658
00:35:36,168 --> 00:35:39,236
Be an attempt
from an alien civilization
659
00:35:39,338 --> 00:35:42,038
to reach out
and communicate with us?
660
00:35:44,109 --> 00:35:46,390
WILCOCK: There's a consistent
amount of sacred geometry...
661
00:35:46,478 --> 00:35:50,180
Tetrahedrons, cubes,
octahedrons,
662
00:35:50,282 --> 00:35:52,883
and even more complex
geometric patterns.
663
00:35:52,985 --> 00:35:55,952
Many of our best and top
scientists are now saying
664
00:35:56,054 --> 00:35:58,822
that this geometry
is the secret keys
665
00:35:58,924 --> 00:36:00,290
to the higher dimensions.
666
00:36:00,392 --> 00:36:02,225
And it's right there
in the crops,
667
00:36:02,327 --> 00:36:04,928
as if they're giving us
a trail of bread crumbs,
668
00:36:05,030 --> 00:36:08,165
showing us how to get
to the next level as a planet.
669
00:36:10,102 --> 00:36:13,303
NARRATOR: Might crop formations
that contain celestial patterns
670
00:36:13,405 --> 00:36:15,405
and mathematical equations
671
00:36:15,507 --> 00:36:18,608
really have been created
by otherworldly beings
672
00:36:18,710 --> 00:36:21,945
attempting to communicate
with humans?
673
00:36:22,047 --> 00:36:27,217
And if extraterrestrial forces
are sending messages to mankind,
674
00:36:27,319 --> 00:36:30,453
why aren't world governments
more interested?
675
00:36:30,556 --> 00:36:34,057
Some insiders say they are,
676
00:36:34,159 --> 00:36:38,395
and suggest that they are
not only interested,
677
00:36:38,497 --> 00:36:42,365
but may even be
directly involved.
678
00:36:47,272 --> 00:36:48,572
NARRATOR: Avebury, England.
679
00:36:48,674 --> 00:36:50,941
July 2006.
680
00:36:51,043 --> 00:36:54,477
The shadow
of a geometric pattern
681
00:36:54,580 --> 00:36:56,313
appears in a field.
682
00:36:56,415 --> 00:36:59,716
The design
echoes a crop formation
683
00:36:59,818 --> 00:37:02,185
that was created
in the exact same location
684
00:37:02,287 --> 00:37:05,121
12 months prior.
685
00:37:05,224 --> 00:37:09,859
Crop circle researchers
refer to this phenomenon
686
00:37:09,962 --> 00:37:12,596
as a "ghost formation."
687
00:37:12,698 --> 00:37:14,764
The ghost formations
are a really curious aside
688
00:37:14,866 --> 00:37:17,133
to the main crop circle
phenomenon.
689
00:37:17,236 --> 00:37:19,970
The following year or even later
in the same year,
690
00:37:20,072 --> 00:37:22,038
there's an impression
left in the field.
691
00:37:22,140 --> 00:37:24,374
Even though the original
crop circle has been harvested
692
00:37:24,476 --> 00:37:26,476
or cut down in whatever way,
693
00:37:26,578 --> 00:37:28,445
there's a residual effect
on the ground.
694
00:37:28,547 --> 00:37:31,548
That, to some people,
seems utterly mysterious.
695
00:37:34,419 --> 00:37:37,320
NARRATOR: The altered growth
pattern of the affected crops
696
00:37:37,422 --> 00:37:39,055
has been known to persist
697
00:37:39,157 --> 00:37:42,959
for up to two years after
the initial crop circle appears,
698
00:37:43,061 --> 00:37:45,695
but only on certain formations.
699
00:37:45,797 --> 00:37:49,966
CHILDRESS: A number
of crop circles reappear again.
700
00:37:50,068 --> 00:37:55,438
It seems that it's some effort
to communicate with us,
701
00:37:55,540 --> 00:37:59,309
from extraterrestrials,
by putting these designs
702
00:37:59,411 --> 00:38:03,113
onto the ground
over and over again.
703
00:38:03,215 --> 00:38:05,115
And perhaps
what they're trying to do
704
00:38:05,217 --> 00:38:08,585
is give us information
that they think we need,
705
00:38:08,687 --> 00:38:11,087
but we just need to decipher it.
706
00:38:11,189 --> 00:38:15,191
NARRATOR: Could there really be
a message so important
707
00:38:15,294 --> 00:38:18,261
that the residual design
persists in the crops
708
00:38:18,363 --> 00:38:20,864
for months and even years?
709
00:38:20,966 --> 00:38:24,234
If so, wouldn't
the crop circle phenomenon
710
00:38:24,336 --> 00:38:27,971
be more closely monitored
by world governments?
711
00:38:28,073 --> 00:38:31,441
Some crop circle investigators
say yes and suggest
712
00:38:31,543 --> 00:38:34,878
that the U.S. and British
governments currently utilize
713
00:38:34,980 --> 00:38:38,448
satellite technology
to secretly photograph
714
00:38:38,550 --> 00:38:40,550
and catalog crop formations.
715
00:38:42,954 --> 00:38:46,356
But others suggest
their involvement
716
00:38:46,458 --> 00:38:48,858
may actually run much deeper.
717
00:38:51,363 --> 00:38:55,298
Just as it was British
government policy to downplay
718
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:57,100
the true interest in UFOs,
719
00:38:57,202 --> 00:38:59,703
so it was the case
with crop circles.
720
00:38:59,805 --> 00:39:02,739
If there's
an alien message there,
721
00:39:02,841 --> 00:39:04,641
of course government
would want that knowledge
722
00:39:04,710 --> 00:39:07,110
and they'd want to keep it
for themselves.
723
00:39:07,212 --> 00:39:09,045
The intriguing thing there is,
of course,
724
00:39:09,147 --> 00:39:12,048
that some of the formations
that people are seeing
725
00:39:12,150 --> 00:39:14,484
might actually be made
by the government.
726
00:39:16,521 --> 00:39:20,523
Government scientists
would be making the reply
727
00:39:20,625 --> 00:39:23,960
that goes out from us
to the extraterrestrials.
728
00:39:24,062 --> 00:39:28,064
HOWE: Whether crop formations
are the residue
729
00:39:28,166 --> 00:39:32,302
of intelligent plasmas
730
00:39:32,404 --> 00:39:36,339
or extraterrestrials
or a combination of both,
731
00:39:36,441 --> 00:39:39,509
why can't the whole world know
732
00:39:39,611 --> 00:39:42,245
what it is that the governments
733
00:39:42,347 --> 00:39:45,115
know about crop formations
and lights?
734
00:39:45,217 --> 00:39:48,785
What would happen
if the whole planet knew,
735
00:39:48,887 --> 00:39:52,589
if all humans knew
we're not alone?
736
00:39:57,162 --> 00:39:59,562
NARRATOR: Is it possible
that world governments
737
00:39:59,664 --> 00:40:02,399
are secretly working
to uncover messages
738
00:40:02,501 --> 00:40:05,535
encrypted within crop circles,
739
00:40:05,637 --> 00:40:07,670
and are even attempting
740
00:40:07,773 --> 00:40:10,473
to communicate
with otherworldly entities
741
00:40:10,575 --> 00:40:14,444
by creating crop circles
themselves?
742
00:40:14,546 --> 00:40:16,246
And if these formations
743
00:40:16,348 --> 00:40:19,616
really are messages
from extraterrestrials,
744
00:40:19,718 --> 00:40:22,786
just what are they
trying to communicate?
745
00:40:25,891 --> 00:40:28,625
HOWE: Something keeps
laying things down
746
00:40:28,727 --> 00:40:31,428
in sequence as if it has
747
00:40:31,530 --> 00:40:35,432
a big picture of how it is
communicating with this planet,
748
00:40:35,534 --> 00:40:38,835
but it is doing so in pieces.
749
00:40:38,937 --> 00:40:42,238
If you looked at the math
and you looked at the warnings,
750
00:40:42,340 --> 00:40:47,076
something champions us,
wants us to evolve.
751
00:40:49,247 --> 00:40:52,649
TSOUKALOS: I think that the crop
formations are a calling card
752
00:40:52,751 --> 00:40:55,452
that we are being given,
753
00:40:55,554 --> 00:40:58,254
that is being put
underneath our very eyes.
754
00:40:58,356 --> 00:41:02,559
And we really should pay
attention to those messages.
755
00:41:02,661 --> 00:41:07,330
Those are little hints
that are dropped worldwide
756
00:41:07,432 --> 00:41:12,569
that prepare us to change
our point of view
757
00:41:12,671 --> 00:41:14,838
that we're not the only ones.
758
00:41:16,875 --> 00:41:20,877
NARRATOR: Have extraterrestrials
been using crop circles
759
00:41:20,979 --> 00:41:25,615
to communicate with mankind
throughout our history?
760
00:41:25,717 --> 00:41:30,320
Are these complex designs
pieces of a mathematical puzzle
761
00:41:30,422 --> 00:41:33,456
that, once put together
and deciphered,
762
00:41:33,558 --> 00:41:37,360
will reveal the truth
about both our origins
763
00:41:37,462 --> 00:41:39,762
and our destiny?
764
00:41:39,865 --> 00:41:43,533
Perhaps we will unlock
the secrets of the universe
765
00:41:43,635 --> 00:41:47,337
not by venturing out
deeper into space,
766
00:41:47,439 --> 00:41:50,740
but by understanding
the messages
767
00:41:50,842 --> 00:41:54,444
that are being given to us
right here on Earth.
767
00:41:55,305 --> 00:42:01,492
