A few days ago I
visited the Privett crop circle. I carefully examined a number
of stems inside the formation. The tops of the affected plants
were recovering very nicely. I discovered that the delicate
yellow flowers remained intact and undamaged (including plants
that had not recovered yet, these were lying horizontal and flat
to the ground).
I discovered the
'magic bend' phenomenon inside this formation. The plants
I examined with the 'magic bend' were bent at the base of the
stem and towards the ground, they were not broken, and had no
kinks. The number of stems showing this anomaly seemed to be
quite numerous. The 'magic bend' phenomenon is not to be
confused with Phototropism - a natural effect that, in the case
of crop circles, occurs when the affected plant attempts
to recover from its 'downed' position towards a light source, of
course, in this case it would be sunlight'. I discovered some
plants with these anomalies to be buried beneath other
flattened stems, a good indication that these anomalies occurred
at the time of the crop circle's creation.
