A sudden end to our “quiet Sun” on July 7, 2009 was predicted in English crop pictures from April, May, June or early July of 2009 

A whole series of fascinating crop pictures from April, May, June or early July of 2009 seemed to predict greatly increased magnetic activity on our Sun, at a time when leading scientists on Earth were holding conferences to discuss why our Sun was so “quiet”. Most international broadcasters at the time followed suit:  

From the BBC on April 21, 2009: “Quiet Sun baffling astronomers” (see news.bbc.co.uk)  

From National Geographic on May 4, 2009: “Sun Oddly Quiet: Hints at Next Little Ice Age?” (see nationalgeographic.com)  

From FOX News on May 5, 2009: “Quiet Sun May Trigger Global Cooling” (see foxnews.com)

From New Scientist on June 19, 2009: “Solar sleuths tackle mystery of quiet sun” (see newscientist.com)  

Meanwhile, while all of those major news organizations (who deny the paranormal reality of modern crop pictures) were worrying about a “quiet Sun”, and whether it might send cascades of glacial ice through central London, our crop artist friends had plans of their own. Over twenty crop pictures from the summer of 2009 seemed to show themes concerning a greatly increased magnetic activity in our Sun, preceding a fateful and predicted date of July 7.  

For example, Rutland’s Farm on April 23 showed a “solar flare” (see rutlands2009), while Wayland’s Smith on May 29 showed a “jellyfish” symbolic of Earth’s magnetic field during a solar storm (see waylandsmithy2009). Next we saw a “dragonfly” symbolic of increased solar wind at Yatesbury on June 3 (see yatesbury2009), followed by a “phoenix” on June 12, symbolic of our Sun’s figurative “death and rebirth” (see yatesbury2). Another “solar flare” crop picture then appeared at Tawsmead Copse on June 13 (see southfield), followed by a “giant sunspot” at Waden Hill on July 1 (see wadenhill2)

The reason why crop circle analysts associated all of these (and other) major crop pictures with a specific calendar date of July 7, 2009, was because they kept showing us pictures of a penumbral lunar eclipse on that date, as well as “sevens” everywhere in simple counting form, that even a grade-school child could understand!  

In retrospect, those twenty or so crop pictures from early 2009 predicted three different kinds of increased magnetic activity on our Sun: (1) a giant sunspot, (2) increased solar wind, affecting Earth’s magnetic field, and (3) two or more coronal mass ejections (CMEs) which might possibly affect Earth in a direct fashion.

So far as of July 20, 2009, only the first of those three solar activity predictions has come true, but it would not be surprising to see the other two in our near future. It all began quite suddenly, just a few days after a “giant sunspot” picture appeared at Waden Hill on July 1, with distinct seven-fold symmetry suggestive of July 7.  

The well-known Spaceweather website reported as follows on July 6 (see spaceweather.com):  

“What a difference 48 hours can make! Only two days ago our Sun was blank and calm, displaying the sort of unrelenting quiet that we have come to expect from the deepest solar minimum in a century. Then with startling rapidity, sunspot 1024 burst onto the scene. Unlike other recent sunspecks, this active region is a full-fledged sunspot group with more than a dozen planet-sized dark cores, and is crackling with B or C-class solar flares. The magnetic polarity of sunspot 1024 identifies it as a member of new solar cycle 24.”  

See spaceweather.com  or spaceweather.com or spaceweather.com for further comments about that sunspot on July 8, 9 or 10.  

The July 7, 2009 event was sufficiently dramatic for our leading space observatory of the Sun (SOHO) to make a movie about it (see sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov):  

“SOHO observed a solitary but substantial sunspot group on July 5-8, 2009 as it rotated across Earth’s view of the Sun. The magnetic field lines within that sunspot group were gyrating and twisting for the entire time of observation. This sunspot is probably the largest to appear in two years. It magnetic field identifies it as belonging to new solar cycle 24. Perhaps it will be the harbinger of greater solar activity to come.”  

A harbinger of greater solar activity to come? Yes, indeed, and our crop artist friends might agree with you!  

More recently, we saw another spectacular and highly detailed picture of our Sun in East Field on July 14, 2009: 

This new picture shows its granular structure (upper left), horizontal field lines (lower left) and meridional or vertical field lines (lower right). Who could have made it except for a super-intelligent, extra-terrestrial astrophysicist, who might be trying to open up a line of communication to solar scientists here on Earth?  

For example to David Hathaway of NASA, who has done much research on our Sun’s magnetic fields (see solarscience.msfc.nasa.gov or solarscience.msfc.nasa.gov), and who spoke with crop circle analyst Linda Howe about our Sun on Earthfiles recently (see www.earthfiles.com)?   

In July 2000, another NASA scientist called Alan Holt visited Wiltshire, and our crop artist friends made the famous “magnetic field of a bar magnet” picture for him. Later he wrote (see www.rense.com):  

“There is truly an astounding phenomenon unfolding in England and elsewhere in the world today. It is very unfortunate that the unscientific thinking, and perhaps deliberate disinformation, of a few individuals have been picked up and accepted by a naive press worldwide. As a result, millions of people have been deprived of the opportunity to experience a consciousness-expanding phenomenon. There is also a warning or preparative message coming through those crop pictures as well.”
