Crop Circles

Ever since the first crop circle appeared mysteriously over night, speculation about the forces which created it have kept tongues wagging. And the age-old question of whether it is the work of aliens, ancient magic or simply some nocturnal humans was the centre of debate again in Glastonbury yesterday. It was the first day of a three-day symposium on circles and related phenomena attended by enthusiasts and experts from around the world. Scores of those who are fascinated by crop circles, which have been turning up in the mystical West for more than three decades, have been converging on the Somerset town. Among those attendingyesterday was Californian psychotherapist Barbara Lamb, a leading researcher and lecturer who has studied crop circles in England for 15 years.

She believes the circles are "messages from forces in the cosmos that care very much about humanity and the terrible things happening on earth, trying to improve conditions here on earth." The event, held at Glastonbury town hall, is organised by Andy Thomas, author of several books on crop circles and psychic phenomena. Debbie Parkes and Sheila Martin are also in charge.Today's lectures are sold out but there are still spaces left for tomorrow when the international flavour is strong with speakers from the US, Canada and Holland joining wellknown English researchers andspeaking on topics ranging from crop circle symbolism to London's ancient links with Jerusalem.Among the mysteries being tackled is why an incinerated porcupine was found in the centre of a crop circle in Hampshire.Among the stall-holders displaying a fascinating array of books, T-shirts, posters, and even stained glass inspired by crop circle formations, are artists Kim Kee and Rob Mielke from Michigan to attend the symposium for the first time with their colourful glass roundels.Perhaps surprisingly there seem to be fewer reports of crop circles in the United States. At least Rob and Kim had never seen a circle before they came to England.

In July of 1996 one of the most complex and spectacular crop circle designs ever seen appeared in a field opposite Stonehenge. The design became known as “The Julia Set” because it resembled the mathematical fractal called by that name. The formation was remarkable not only because of its complexity and beauty but also due to several anomalies associated with its discovery.

It arrived in daylight on a sunny day opposite a busy tourist spot surrounded by high traffic roads such as the A303. What is exceptional about this event is that it is the first time the window of arrival can be narrowed down. The formation was first spotted from an aircraft at 6:15 PM. The pilot crossed over the field with a passenger (a medical doctor taking pictures) at 5:30 PM and both reported that there was no formation in the field at that time. This is corroborated by the security guards at Stonehenge who claimed the formation was not in the field earlier in the day.
