Robert Boerman, Founder of PTAH Foundation and Webmaster, DCCA Archive, Brummen, Holland: “Last Friday on June 11, we received an e-mail with a report near Wageningen in eastern Holland, a university town so we suspected a hoax. And the previous day on Thursday, June 10, we received a report about genuine crop circles near Wijchen, about 20 kilometers below Arnhem, not far from Wageningen.Click for report.
Update on June 17, 2004 – Another 2,000 American White Pelicans have disappeared from the Chase Lake Wildlife Refuge, leaving behind hundreds of chick carcasses and eggs on an island. U. S. Fish and Wildlife project leader, Kim Hanson, says there are only about 300 adult pelicans left on the entire island. Pelicans have nested at Chase Lake for more than a hundred years without such baffling disappearances. So far, none of the 29,000 pelicans have showed up anywhere else and no one yet has an answer to the mystery.
June 5, 2004 Northwestern Missouri – In the farming region around Trenton, Missouri, something horrible happened to a pregnant mare on Thursday, May 20th. She had been seen alive the afternoon before and was discovered twenty-four hours later at 3 p.m., dead and mutilated. The unborn foal’s back legs were still in the mare’s abdomen, but its head seemed melted away by some incomprehensible force.
June 3, 2004 Wylatowo, Poland – Robert K. Lesniakiewicz, Vice President of the CBUFOIZA (researchers in Poland who investigate unidentified aerial objects and crop formations), has e-mailed me photographs of a second 2004 crop formation in onions reported May 23, 2004. This one is in the farming community of Wylatowo, fourteen miles south of Zabno (where the first 2004 crop formation in Poland was reported on May 15, 2004). The new pattern consists of three circles connected by paths. Also, see first Poland pattern in 05/17/04 Earthfiles.
May 22, 2004 – As of this date, crop formations in 2004 have ranged from yellow flowering oil seed rape in England, Germany and Holland to wheat in Poland, tall pasture grass in Australia and randomly downed wheat in Mexico. German researcher, Andreas Mueller, thinks at least three of the four German formations are man-made. He is intrigued by the television video frames below of a Mexican field which do not show neat geometry. Instead, there are patches of downed plants along straight lines, vaguely reminiscent of the “binary code” in the Chilbolton Observatory, Hampshire, England, formation first reported on August 20, 2001. Also of interest is the Vesica Pisces comparison between the May 3, 2004, formation near Pegsdon, Hertsfordshire, England, and the Peebles, Ohio, pattern discovered near the ancient Serpent Mound on August 24, 2003. Under More Information below, is a statistical study by Jeffrey Wilson of 361 crop formation reports in the United States from 1880 to 2003 that reached his database.
May 19, 2004 Dahlgren, Virginia – Yesterday a manager of Mexico’s official meteorological center declared in a Mexico television interview that ball lightning could not explain the eleven objects videotaped in infrared on March 5, 2004, by the Mexican Air Force crew. Alberto Hernandez Unzon, a manger of the National Meteorological Services, is also a member of the Scientific Advisory Committee of the Mexico National System for Civil Protection and member of the Hurricane Committee of the Worldwide Meteorological Association.
May 17, 2004 Zabno, Poland – Robert K. Lesniakiewicz, Vice President of the CBUFOIZA (researchers in Poland who investigate unidentified aerial objects and crop formations), has e-mailed me his recent report along with photographs of a crop formation found in wheat near Moglino (yellow) and Zabno west of Warsaw on May 15, 2004. This is the first for Poland this year after three other formations have been discovered in England in East Sussex, Hertfordshire and Wiltshire counties. (See: More Information below.) Robert reports, “Some UFOs were seen above such places as Rzeszow, Kowale Oleckie and Wloclawek.”Click for report.
May 17, 2004 Long Island, New York – It was a year ago when a 63-year-old Nassau County, Long Island, New York resident, who only wants to be known as “Marjorie,” read on the internet about a possible “Planet X” headed into our solar system. She had a JVC digital camera she had purchased in the summer of 2001 and decided she would start photographing after sunrise because she thought Planet X might be seen in the direction of the sun. Since January 2003, Marjorie says she has taken “hundreds and hundreds of pictures, but got nothing more than a few lens flares and little red dots. I just started to do it again this year at the beginning of April .”Click for report.
[ Editor’s Note: Many questions, including size and energy intensity of the Mexico objects, are yet to be answered. FLIR camera engineers are studying the infrared images. Earthfiles’ journalistic goal is to continue updating new information and refine technical facts as they are clarified. More updates and a special feature about infrared frequencies and infrared technologies will appear in upcoming Earthfiles reports. ]
May 13-14, 2004 Mexico City, Mexico – On April 20, 2004, independent TV producer and journalist, Jaime Maussan – who has worked in Mexico City media for thirty-two years – received a call from Mexico’s Secretary of Defense office. Jaime went the next day on April 21 to meet with General Clemente Vega Garcia, Secretary of Defense, and his staff. One of General Garcia’s challenges is to stop narcotics trafficking. He told Jaime that on March 5, 2004, Mexican Air Force pilots in the 501st Aerial Squadron were flying a Merlin C26A Bimotor airplane in a routine flight to look for aircraft trying to smuggle drugs near Ciudad del Carmen in the State of Campeche. The Merlin C26A was equipped with FLIR (Forward Looking Infrared) StarSAFIRE II and RADAR APS 143 (V) 3 made by Telephonics (See websites below). In the war on drugs, infrared cameras are used to photograph the heat from airplanes trying to fly at night without navigation lights to avoid police.Click for report.
May 10, 2004 Clifton, England – Stuart Dike studied Architectural Technology in school and today works on housing designs for a building developer in Bristol, England. Stuart has always been affected by geometric patterns and when he went to Wiltshire in 1990 to see his first crop formation, he was haunted by the mysterious perfection of the pattern and wanted to know who, or what, was behind the patterns.
Thirteen years later in 2003, he and his Cropcircleconnector.com colleagues, Mark Fussell and Julian Gibson, decided that most of the seventy-three patterns in that English season would be archived in a documentary which the three men photographed and produced called, Out in the Fields, 2003 and another by Julian Gibson entitled Crop Circles: The Ultimate Undercover Investigation (See More Information below).
