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.
July 23, 2004 Wiltshire, England - Between July 11 and July 23, 2004, sixteen crop formations have been reported in southern England, the majority in the country of Wiltshire which has been the heart of the modern British phenomenon since at least the late 1980s.

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.

“A reversal could knock out power grids, hurt astronauts and satellites, widen atmospheric ozone holes, send polar auroras flashing to the equator and confuse birds, fish and migratory animals that rely on the steadiness of the magnetic field as a navigation aid.”
– The New York Times, July 13, 2004
A graphical representation of the total magnetic field strength at the Earth’s surface inferred from the latest International Geomagnetic Reference Field, the IGRF2000, valid until 2005. The red-to-yellow colors indicate a field strength below the mean Earth’s total magnetic field strength. The blue-to-black range represents a field strength above the mean field at the surface. The most pronounced minimum field strength is found in South America and in the South Atlantic below South Africa. Graphic produced from Danish Orsted satellite which measures Earth’s geomagnetic fields.
July 23, 2004 Santa Cruz, California – Magnetic field lines have been coming out of the south pole and entering the north pole of the earth for the past 780,000 years. That is called the magnetic dipole. But now scientists have been monitoring the strongest change humans have ever recorded in the magnetic field at the surface of the earth’s internal iron core four thousand miles down. The result, according to French geophysicist Gauthier Hulot, is that the South Atlantic below Africa and South America now have a magnetic field that is 30% weaker than the rest of the planet. Already some satellites passing over that weak magnetic field have suffered electronic failures because charged particles from the sun can penetrate more easily in a weak magnetic field. And over the past century, the global magnetic field has weakened about 10 to 15 percent. Recently, that magnetic field deterioration has accelerated, provoking scientists to wonder if it will build up to a pole reversal in which compasses will point to the south instead of the north.Click for report.
July 23, 2004 Wiltshire, England - Norwegian crop circle investigators, Guro Parvanova, Bente Oderud and Irene Lian, are from Oslo. Guro has been teaching Norwegian as a second language to international children for twenty years. As Charles Mallett experienced at the dinner with them, Bente is especially intuitive. But everyone was surprised that the very field upon which Bente placed her finger during the map discussion on July 16, received the enormous pattern discovered at 6 a.m. the next morning, July 17, by the farm owner.
"Speculation is that already methane is a rather strong indicator life is probably present today on Mars. ...Formaldehyde (also detected?) is destroyed in the Martian atmosphere within 7.5 hours. There is no way that formaldehyde can exist and remain for a long time in the Martian atmosphere. If (formaldehyde) confirmed (in addition to the confirmed methane, possibly life on Mars today, yes."
- Vittorio Formisano, Ph.D., Physicist , May 6, 2004
July 22, 2004 - Today I was scheduled to interview physicist Vittorio Formisano at the COSPAR (Committee On Space Research) meeting in Paris where he was scheduled to hold a press conference to announce the final results of his Planetary Fourier Spectrometer mounted on the European Space Agency's (ESA) Mars Express Orbiter.Vittorio Formisano, Ph.D., is the Principal Investigator of the Planetary Fourier Spectrometer (PFS) which he built and designed to detect methane and other gaseous molecules. Dr. Formisano is based at the Institute of Physics and Interplanetary Science in Rome, Italy, and has been commuting to ESA offices in Darmstadt, Germany, to gather more data from the Planetary Fourier Spectrometer in hopes that he can confirm the location of one or more sources of the Martian methane, as well as molecular indications of formaldehyde, benzene and ammonia. The presence of those molecules in the Martian atmosphere, would most likely mean a life process of some kind, he told me in my previous May 6, 2004, interview with him while he was working in his Rome office.

July 22, 2004 Stockholm, Sweden – Lloyd Jones reporting for Australia’s Herald Sun in Stockholm began a dispatch today:
“Homing pigeons vanish during race. Organizers of a race for homing pigeons were still scratching their heads in wonder today after about 1500 of the birds, famous for their ability to find their way home, went missing during the contest.”
Usually it takes the pigeons only two hours to return to their home lofts. But a member of the Malmoe Homing Pigeon Club, Lars-Aake Nilsson, said only about 500 of the 2000 pigeons flown in the contest have returned after the 150 kilometer flight between the cities of Ljungby and Malmoe in southern Sweden. “Click for report.
July 21, 2004 DeLand, Florida - On June 21, 2004, I received an e-mail from Jim Oglesby, a writer and retired U. S. Postal Service letter carrier who had worked for Bendix Corporation as a machine tool technician in its contract with the Apollo program at Cape Canaveral, Florida. Apollo 11 was the first mission to put the American flag and human footprints on the moon. Its commander was aerospace engineer Neil A. Armstrong. The lunar module pilot was USAF Col. Buzz Aldrin and the command module pilot was USAF Lt. Col. Michael Collins.

“There is also the fact that NOAD-Northeast was conducting war game exercises that morning, a fact that has been very little talked about and certainly not reported to the general public. What’s also not been reported, according to the information that I have, at least one of the scenarios they were considering in their war game exercises concerned hijacked aircraft being crashed into buildings. Now, this could explain the lack of response when the air traffic controllers began to report that four planes were off course…”
