August 19, 2006 Cardiff, Wales - Nearly half a century ago in 1960, a mathematics graduate student from Colombo, Sri Lanka, set off on his first international trip to Cambridge, England. His name is Chandra Wickramasinghe. He was fascinated by stars in the night skies, wondered about other life Out There, and his Cambridge University advanced degree was in Astronomy. His faculty supervisor was the famous Cambridge astronomer, Fred Hoyle. The two men had the curiosity and courage to look for other life in the universe by studying cosmic dust. Their controversial panspermia hypothesis was that the universe is teeming with at least microbial life, which can be transported from one cosmic location to another. In their collaboration, the two astronomers felt strongly that the double helix DNA found in all Earth life had been seeded here by comets or other cosmic bodies and that same DNA would be found in all life forms throughout the cosmos.

August 17, 2006 Cherhill, Wiltshire, England - Two weeks ago at the Silent Circle Cafe in Cherhill, I met and talked with Kate Fenn about an encounter she and a colleague had with military helicopters, which seemed to be aggressively interacting with a large, red, glowing sphere above a crop formation in the Savernake Forest near Marlborough. The date was last year in early August 2005.

Etchilhampton, Wiltshire, is in the lower left corner southwest of Avebury. Wayland’s Smithy is in the upper right corner of Oxfordshire County near Blowingstone Hill and Uffington Castle. Some other 2006 crop formation locations are highlighted in yellow.
August 16, 2006 Etchilhampton, Wiltshire, England – British researcher and photographer, Lucy Pringle, has photographed the new August 15, 2006, Etchilhampton formation from the air, while on the ground the Cropcircleconnector.com’s Julian Gibsone reports: ” Complexity within this wonderful new Star. This a beautiful new formation with an intricate line structure and a lovely star shaped centre. As I wandered around this circle I became aware of just how interesting the line structure was. This is a case of where seeing a formation on the ground is as significant as seeing it from the air. The lay, appeared to me at least, to be pretty impressive in crop that is about to be cut in the next few days. … The location was outstanding as one could look across Pewsey Vale to the Milk Hill White Horse, Woodborough and Picton Hills in the distance.”Click for report.
In the county of Oxfordshire, England, formations were reported at Wayland’s Smithy and Uffington Castle on the same day of July 8, 2006. Then a month later on August 6, 2006, a third formation was reported at Blowingstone Hill in Kingston Lisle, northeast of Uffington Castle.
August 14, 2006 Kingston Lisle, Oxfordshire, England – A few days before I left for England, journalist Jaime Maussan in Mexico City called. Jaime is an TV and magazine investigative reporter for his own production company and last year went to the U. K. to fly over and videotape the 2005 Wayland’s Smithy “Mayan Calendar” and Woolstone “Mayan Clock.” Jaime asked a Mexican archaeologist to study the 2005 wheat patterns and reported that the glyphs were counting down to 2012 and the end of the Grand Mayan Calendar.

August 12 , 2006 Uffington, Oxfordshire, England – On July 8, 2006, four extraordinary crop formations were reported in southern England. The sequence began in Boxley near Maidstone in the county of Kent southeast of London with a “fractal snowflake.” Many investigators think this was the finest crop formation of 2006. The ground lay was fluid, like water waves.Click for report.

“No one to our knowledge has seen anything quite like this.”
– Wesley Balla, New Hampshire Historical Society
July 29, 2006 Concord, New Hampshire – One hundred and thirty-two years ago in 1872, workmen were digging post holes in the town of Meredith, New Hampshire. One of the workers hit something solid like a stone and lifted out glob of clay. When the dirt was cleaned off, the workers were surprised to see a brown-colored stone about four inches high and two and a half inches wide shaped exactly like a goose egg. All around the egg were carvings. The owner and manager of the post hole project was Seneca Ladd. He was interested in geology and historic relics, so he claimed the “mystery stone” for his private collection.
The dense stone was later identified to be fairly dense quartzite. Today, the stone is housed in the New Hampshire Historical Society in Concord. The Director of Collections and Exhibitions there since 2003 is Wesley G. Balla, M. A. I talked with him this week about the mystery stone and asked him to describe the symbols carved in it.
Interview:
Wesley G. Balla, M. A., Director of Collections & Exhibitions, New Hampshire Historical Society, Concord, New Hampshire: “All the way around the sides and the bottom, there are a series of images, symbols, pictographs that have been carved or cut on to the stone. The pictographs include a human face, a teepee, and circle on one side.
Brownish, dense quartzite stone the shape and size of a goose egg about four inches high and 2.5 inches wide. Originally found in the ground by post hole digger in Meredith, New Hampshire, in 1872. Its origin and age are still a mystery. Photographs courtesy New Hampshire Historical Society.
In another section of the mystery stone are arrows or spears, a crescent over crossed spears, and a spiral.
In another section, is an ear of corn over a circle that has a number of other figures inside of it, which are hard to make out. They are sort of curved and angled figures.
On the very bottom drawn around one of the boring holes is a multi-sided geometric figure. It is very precise and even in the way it’s drawn, angles. It’s similar to a star, but it’s really a square superimposed on another square, so there are 8 straighter sides than you would have in the depiction of a star symbol.
Small Machine-Bored Holes At Top and Bottom of Mystery Stone
COULD YOU EXPLAIN THE BORE HOLES AND AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM? HOW WERE THEY MADE AND WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE?
Again, it’s a mystery. We don’t know why they were made or when. We know how they were made, probably by a metal drill. We’ve had an analysis done which suggests that the top hope is about an eighth of an inch in diameter. The bottom hole is 3/8ths inch in diameter. One is larger than the other. There are abrasions or scratches on the inside of each hole that suggest they were made by metal. When? and who? remains a mystery.
AN EIGHTH OF AN INCH FOR ONE OF THOSE HOLES MEANS IT COULD NOT HAVE BEEN MOUNTED ON ANYTHING THAT WAS THICK. IT HAD TO BE MOUNTED ON SOMETHING VERY THIN.
Yes. We assume it was mounted somehow, but there is no real context for any of this. No one to our knowledge has seen anything quite like this. The scratches found in the analysis inside the holes suggests that the egg-shaped stone was probably made in recent history, that it’s not a prehistoric piece because Native Americans did not have the technology to drill with metal.
DID ANYONE EVER TRY TO DATE THE LAYER IN THE GROUND FROM WHICH THE STONE WAS TAKEN?
No, that is one of the things that is conspicuously absent. It was just viewed as something that was pulled up out of the ground. No one said what level or if there was anything else at that level. It was just, ‘We found this when we were digging post holes.’ That’s been the story since 1927 when it was given to the Historical Society. We don’t even know precisely which spot in Meredith it was dug up. If you don’t have a very precise site, it’s very hard to date.
IS THERE ANYTHING IN MEREDITH LIKE AN ANCIENT EARTH MOUND OR STONE CIRCLES OR SOME VERY OLD GROUND MARKING SIMILAR TO THE OHIO EARTH MOUNDS?
Not that I’m aware.
HAVE YOU HAD EXPERTS IN VARIOUS KINDS OF PICTOGRAMS AND RUNE LANGUAGES TO SEE IF THE EGG-SHAPED STONE SYMBOLS COMPARE TO ANY OTHER LANGUAGE OR SYMBOLS?
No, we don’t know anything about the pictographs.”

“What’s the probability that we’re going to have a large earthquake, magnitude 6, 7 or 8, on the southern part of the San Andreas Fault? There is about a 70% likelihood of a large earthquake within the next 30 years.”
– Seismologist Debi Kilb, Ph.D.
Blue triangles indicate 2006 small quake activity along San Jacinto Fault, Elsinoro Fault, and Rose Canyon Fault, while the San Andreas Fault near the Salton Sea is building more and more energy in a “locked up” mode, moving only 1 inch per year. Map source: USGS.
July 27, 2006 La Jolla, California – Last month, the June 22, 2006, issue of the science journal Nature, published recent detailed research of the San Andreas and San Jacinto faults in Southern California. The data shows the San Andreas so stressed that its next quake release of energy could be a magnitude 8 on the Richter scale. The San Andreas Fault is considered the main boundary between the Pacific and North American tectonic plates that are slowly moving past each other. Some day in the far distant future, those moving plates might even break off sections of the Pacific coast into the ocean. The tension between those moving plates is what makes California “earthquake country.”Click for report.
