September 7, 2002 Charlottesville, Virginia - A billion light years from earth there is a very bright quasar known as JO841+1842. Quasars give off enormous energy from great distances. Tomorrow, Sunday, September 8, Jupiter in our solar system will pass very close to the light's path from that quasar.

The large East Field in Wiltshire, England spreads out below Adam's Grave and Knap Hill. Across the road to the south is Woodborough Hill and Tawsmead Copse. Since the modern crop formation phenomenon began in 1989, this geography has become legendary for mysterious lights and interactions with helicopters.
September 1, 2002 East Field, Wiltshire, England - Two weeks ago on August 14th was my last day in England. A new crop formation had been reported in the famous East Field below Adam's Grave and Knap Hill to the north and across the road from Woodborough Hill and Tawsmead Copse to the south. As I walked toward the formation, I took a photograph with Woodborough Hill in the background.

August 27, 2002 - This week in Johannesburg, South Africa, the largest United Nations Earth Summit ever convened is focused on how to sustain our deteriorating planet's environment. World leaders, including Tony Blair from Britain, will attend next week, but not the American president, George W. Bush. Not only is the United States government unwilling to participate with the other countries in setting timetables to cut back pollution and greenhouse gases, the specific words "global warming" are not even listed on the program's agenda of problems to be discussed, clearly someone's political decision.

August 24, 2002 Colt's Neck, New Jersey - On Thursday, August 22, I drove to central New Jersey into the beautiful horse and farm community of Colt's Neck. At one end of Dorbrook Park running along a forest of deciduous trees is a rye field rented by a farmer from the township. On August 15, Colt's Neck residents reported a large crop formation in the rye.
Michael Glickman and The Crop Circle Connector with many others have
contributed towards a fund to ask the farmer to keep the crop Circle in the
field until after the UK Bank Holiday 27th August 2002. We would like to
thank the farmer and the contributors for this gesture and hope many more
people will visit the crop circle in the next few days."

August 19, 2002 Pitt near Winchester, Hampshire, U. K. On Thursday afternoon, August 15, 2002, editors Mark Fussell and Stuart Dike at the website, www.cropcircleconnector.com, received an e-mail from a man who also e-mailed Lucy Pringle. The text said there was a "new crop circle near Winchester" and also gave street guidance to the farm location along the Crabwood copse in the village of Pitt near Winchester. The editors needed someone to fly over the formation which Julian Gibsone did on Friday morning, August 16. The editors also called Charles Mallett at The Silent Circle Cafe in Cherhill. Charles and his wife, Frances, operate the cafe and have investigated and photographed more than a hundred formations the past few years in southern England. The couple went to Winchester also on Friday morning to study and photograph the ground lay of what Charles perceived to be an "amazingly precise" pattern.
