Another Face and Code Appears in Hampshire, England With New Updated Information

September 12, 2002 - For the most up-to-date research on this evolving story, see Lucy Pringle's report at: http://lucypringle.co.uk/

EDITOR'S NOTE ABOUT TIME LINE OF EVENTS: Since the interviews below with Winchester farm owner, Mike Burge, and his farm hand, Sydney Collis, Charles Mallett in Cherhill, England confirms that www.cropcircleconnector.com was contacted by e-mail on Thursday, August 15, about the Winchester formation. Also contacted by e-mail that day (by the same person who mailed the connector) was researcher and photographer, Lucy Pringle in Hampshire. Mike Burge and Sydney Collis both were in the cherry picker above the field on Monday afternoon, August 12, and are adamant the wheat field was perfectly normal then. So, the possible creation period is Tuesday night, August 13, producing what seemed to be a partial formation according to farm worker, Sydney Collis, who found "marks in the wheat" at 8 a.m. on Wednesday morning, August 14. That leaves Wednesday night into Thursday as other possible creation times. The formation notification first went out by e-mail on Thursday, August 15, followed by an Ocean FM radio report on Friday morning, August 16, around 9 a.m..

Winchester was original capital of England, an ancient city going back two millennia.  Cheesefoot Head is a couple of miles east of Winchester where crop formations started back in  the 1970s. The 2002 face and code formation is a couple miles to the west of Winchester.  Another 5 or 6 miles further west is the Chilbolton Radio Observatory.

August 17-18, 2002  Winchester, Hampshire, England - Crop formation researcher and photographer, Lucy Pringle, received an e-mail dated August 15, 2002 at 19:30 (7:30 p.m.) Hampshire time from a man who reported a "New Crop Circle Near Winchester" which Lucy did not download until midnight, working into the early hours of August 16. Lucy e-mailed a request for the Survey Ordnance and he replied with SU447297, which Lucy received in e-mail early Friday morning, August 16, and notified Paul Vigay, Director, Independent Research Center for Unexplained Phenomena.

Lucy booked an airplane to fly over the field at 2:30 p.m. She did not know that the Ocean FM station in Southampton, Hampshire, received a telephone call around 9 a.m. on Friday, August 16, 2002, from a woman who said she had been riding her horse by the Vale Farm in the village of Pitt east of Winchester when she saw a formation in the wheat field. The radio announced the discovery and farm owner, Mike Burge, heard about it from his farm hand, Syd Collis.

Strange Stem Anomalies in New Dutch Crop Circles

July 24, 2002  The Netherlands - Robert Boerman of the Dutch Crop Circle Archive called me tonight to report that two more circles have arrived in a Groote Keeten, northern Holland field that have a lot of twisted and bent seed heads, expulsion holes in the growth nodes and nodes that are cracked. He sent me some very good photographs tonight so I could see and compare them to similar anomalous stems from Avebury, Wiltshire and Whitefish, Montana in 1999. I'll begin with the historic background of the "somatic developmental abnormalities," named by W. C. Levengood, the Michigan biophysicist who has studied plants and soil from crop formations since the early 1990s.

 Wheat from Whitefish, Montana, formation found August 6, 1999. Somatic developmental abnormality in looping and twisted stem between first growth node and wheat head similar to formation in Avebury, Wiltshire, England.  Photograph © 1999 by biophysicist, W. C. Levengood.

July 20, 2002  Corvallis, Oregon ­ A study by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) was released this month which says that at the current rate of extinctions in 350 mammals, birds, reptiles and fish studied by scientists, in the middle of the 21st century, the oceans will be empty of marine life, forests will be gone and 25% of the world's mammal species could be extinct. Human over-population will have polluted water everywhere.

July 19, 2002  La Pampa Province, Argentina ­ Argentina's recent federal government assertion that red-nosed mice, Oxymycterus rufus, are the culprits in the country's wave of animal mutilations has not stopped the unusual animal deaths. On July 1, rancher Camilo Lisiardo near Rufino in Cordoba Province west of Buenos Aires, found one of his calves (sex not specified) lying on its left side, dead. The right jaw was stripped of all muscle tissue, so cleanly the bone looked like it had laid in the sun for weeks. Its tongue and right eye had been cut out, a 4 centimeter-diameter circle of hide was excised around the naval, and the rectum was cored out.

July 13, 2002  Ubachsberg, Holland ­ On July 8, 2002, Robert Boerman and Bert Janssen of the Netherlands learned about a formation of three circles in Ubachsberg. Bert went to the wheat field and measured the diameter of the largest circle to be 11.80 meters; the smallest was 6.8 meters. He noted that many plants were standing straight up among the downed plants and showed no signs of damage on the stalks as might have occurred if boots, boards and other mechanical devices had flattened the circles.

July 12, 2002  West Overton, Wiltshire, England -­ At noon time on Tuesday, July 9, Charles and Frances Mallett at The Silent Circle Cafe in Cherhill, Wiltshire, received a phone call about a new crop formation in West Overton, not far from the double spiraled serpents discovered on June 23, 2002. It had been raining for several days. Fields were full of mud and not conducive for pranksters, so the Malletts immediately drove out to see the condition of the plants while still fresh. I talked with Charles the next day, July 10, about his impressions.

July 6, 2002  Christmas Valley, Oregon ­ Deputy Sheriff Keith Bumpass of the Lake County, Oregon Sheriff's Office has discovered another mutilated cow in Christmas Valley southeast of Bend. This new case is in the same general area as the previous bull, cow and long-horn cow mutilations reported at Earthfiles on June 17 and May 18. Deputy Bumpass says the location is "about three miles straight north of the sand dunes area. It would be about 12 miles straight east of the May 5th bull and about 6 miles east of the second mutilated cow.

July 6, 2002  Stonehenge, Wiltshire, England ­ The greatest number of crop formations are now in Germany, not England. As of July 4th, England has twenty. In Germany, new formation reports from Baden-Wurttemberg and the Saarland near the French border in southwest Germany will increase the number of German crop patterns to more than 30. Photographer Frank Laumen is going to fly over the Baden-Wurttemberg fields on Monday and I will have photographs after he returns for a more in-depth look at three German crop formation hot spots.

Argentina’s SENASA Blames Mouse for Animal Mutilations

One of more than an estimated 300 Argentina cows since April 2002 whose jaw flesh was stripped clean to the bone; eye, tongue, and often ears removed; pharynx and larynx removed deep within the throat, along with other bloodless excisions of genitals and rectal tissue.
One of more than an estimated 300 Argentina cows since April 2002 whose jaw flesh was stripped clean to the bone; eye, tongue, and often ears removed; pharynx and larynx removed deep within the throat, along with other bloodless excisions of genitals and rectal tissue.

"Veterinarian Alberto Pariani, D.V.M., at the University of La Pampain General Pico has never even heard of this 'hocicudo rojizo' mouse.
... Dr. Pariani was especially surprised by the official statements in the press conference because he has not seen any fecal droppings from foxes, birds or mice on any of the mutilated animals he has examined."­

 - Reed Lindsay, Freelance Newspaper Reporter, Buenos Aires

 Official Press Release on July 1, 2002 from SENASA, the National Health and Agroalimentary Quality Service in Buenos Aires, Argentina, about the intense wave of animal mutilations reported from at least eight provinces in Argentina since April 2002.
Official Press Release on July 1, 2002 from SENASA, the National Health and Agroalimentary Quality Service in Buenos Aires, Argentina, about the intense wave of animal mutilations reported from at least eight provinces in Argentina since April 2002.

July 2, 2002  Buenos Aires, Argentina - The National Health and Agroalimentary Quality Service (SENASA) yesterday held a press conference in Buenos Aires to announce, as the press release above states, "Official Report Regarding Injuries and Mutilations to Bovine Carcasses." To most everyone's surprise, including ranchers and veterinarians who had examined dozens of the dead animals, SENASA's President, Bernardo Cane, announced that "studies performed on dead and mutilated animals have established that the deaths were the result of natural causes and the injuries were provoked by predators, among them a rodent of the genus Oxymcterus, more commonly known as the 'hocicudo rojizo' (red muzzle) whose population has recently increased and whose nutritional habits have changed."

A reporter at the SENASA press conference in Buenos Aires was Reed Lindsay, a freelancer who attended after spending time in Salliquelo and General Pico of northern La Pampa province to talk with ranchers and a couple of veterinarians who have seen dozens of dead cattle from which ears, eyes, jaw flesh, tongues, trachea, larynx, esophagus, genital organs and rectal tissue have been excised "surgically" and bloodlessly. The ground under the dead animals has not shown any signs of struggle or tracks. I talked with Reed today about the press conference and what he has learned the past few days in his research.
