Circles in Belgium and Holland

August 12, 2004 – Since June 22, 2004, Belgium has had three reports of circles. Robert Boerman who produces the Dutch website, dcca.nl, e-mailed me the following comments in English about the Belgium incidents and talked with me by phone about two formations in Holland that he thinks are genuinely mysterious.

Updated Aerial Photos of West Overton, Wiltshire “Serpent”

August 10, 2004 – Tonight I received an e-mail from Mathias van Singer, one of the Swiss passengers in Peter Tadd’s Fast Helicopter tour of crop formations on July 29, 2004. Originally, the helicopter pilot, Mr. Tadd and the Swiss tourists thought the “serpent” pattern appeared within one hour between Noon and 1 p.m. However, later it was confirmed that the farmer found the pattern at 5 a.m. that morning and crop circle researcher, Jonathan Sherwood, visited the site at 11:30 a.m. But the Swiss helicopter passengers are the only known group to get aerial photographs of the wheat formation before the farmer cut it out early the next morning.Click for report.

August 9, 2004 – Mlyny at Wylatowo, Poland – Robert K. Lesniakiewicz, Vice President of the CBUFOIZA (researchers in Poland who investigate unidentified aerial objects and crop formations) reports: “There have been two wheat pictograms that he calls “agrosymbols” in Mlyny near Wylatowo.” He is waiting to hear about sizes of the patterns from the investigative IRG Torun team and I will update this Earthfiles report when I have the dimensions. One has five circles connected by pathways and the other is a triangular pattern of three circles connected by pathways.Click for report.

August 4, 2004 Silbury Hill, Wiltshire, England – Whoever, or whatever, is responsible for the August 2 to 3, 2004, crop formation at Silbury Hill, the design in its border is a mirror image of a rare statue of the Aztec God, Xochipilli, The Prince of Flowers, Maizes, Love, Games, Beauty, Song and Dance. Xochi means ‘flower,’ while pilli means either prince or child. In the mid-1800’s, a 16th century Aztec statue of Xochipilli was unearthed on the side of the volcano Popocatapetl near Tlamanalco, Mexico. The statue is of a single figure seated upon a temple-like base.Click for report.

July 26, 2004  Eau Claire, Wisconsin – I talked with Terry Fisk, an Eau Claire, Wisconsin, electric power company employee whose hobby is to investigate crop formations with his colleague, Chad Lewis. On Monday, July 19, 2004, Chad received an e-mail from someone called “Adam Prince.” The short e-mail said there was a crop circle just outside Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, and gave directions. Chad was working, but Terry drove out to see if he could find the field and formation.

2004 Canadian Crop Formations: Scorched Soybeans and “Dirt” Pattern in Barley

July 25, 2004  Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada – I talked this week with Paul Anderson, Director of Canadian Crop Circle Research Network (CCCRN) in Vancouver. The crop circle season so far has brought four patterns which began with a simple ring in pasture grass on June 24, 2004, near a small town called Erb’s Cove in New Brunswick. Over the past decade, New Brunswick has had reports of very few crop formations in contrast to Saskatchewan and Alberta which have had the most. From Paul’s research of Canadian history of the phenomenon, he has found 233 reports between 1925 and 2004. Saskatchewan is the center of activity, “sort of like Wiltshire is in England,” he says.

First Canadian formation of 2004 reported on June 24, near small town of Erb's Cove in New Brunswick, Canada, between Maine on the west and Nova Scotia on the east.

What’s Happening to Birds? – More Reports

July 24, 2004 – Last night on Coast to Coast AM radio, I reported about the earth’s weakening magnetic field and the many reports I receive about large populations of birds disappearing or even dying. I also asked the Earthfiles and radio audience to let me know about bird anomalies. I have received so many reports today that I am sharing some of them from various regions of the country.

E-mail # 1 – Lusk, Wyoming: 

“I recently moved back to Wyoming after a 30-year stint in California. One of the first things I noticed was the lack of birds here. The state bird is the Meadowlark and I have always loved listening to them. They are gone.Click for report.
