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.

"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."

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.

June 29, 2002 Three Mile Island, Pennsylvania - This week, the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory commission issued an Event Notification Report about radioactive Americium-243 and Plutonium-242 that are missing from a shipment between AEA Technology of Burlington, Massachusetts and Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory in New York.
According to NRC and Department of Energy records, in the United States every year on average, about three hundred cases of missing radioactive materials are reported. Half of those are eventually recovered. But what about the other 150 cases of missing radioactive materials? Or the 9,000 missing nuclear items that the Department of Energy says it is trying to track?

To date in cereal crops, there have been 13 formations in Germany, 5 in Holland and 14 in England. New formations in all three countries have been discovered since the June 21st summer solstice. One of the most extraordinary was reported yesterday in the North Farm near West Overton, Wiltshire, at the top of a hill. It is like a labyrinth made of two coils winding around each other in opposite directions. Each coil ends up with a 25-foot-diameter serpent head that contains two eyes of standing crop.

June 14, 2002 Pasadena, California - Today NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory announced that astronomers have discovered another solar system orbiting around the star 55 Cancri in the constellation Cancer which resembles our own sun and planets, at least in two large gaseous planets located at similar orbit distances. The first planet there was discovered in 1996 near that sun. The star 55 Cancri is 41 light years from Earth and is about the same age as our solar system, 5 billion years.
