Three different Italian crop pictures from 2012 or 2013 align geographically with the epicentre of a M6.1 earthquake, which struck northern Italy near Finale Emilia on May 20, 2012 

Following discussions with Luke Falcon and Gian Domenico Marchi, it has become clear that many of the current Italian crop pictures are part of some multi-year plan, to depict significant geological activity in Italy over several years 2012 to 2013, or even 2014. As shown below, three separate Italian crop pictures from Bracciano on May 20, 2012, Barbiano on June 6, 2013, or Finale Emilia on June 9, 2013 all “line up” in terms of field location, with the epicentre of an M6.1 earthquake which struck northern Italy near Finale Emilia on May 20, 2012: 

The Bracciano crop picture appeared only hours before (or coincident with) the M6.1 earthquake, thus arguing against any possible human involvement. More plausibly, we could be seeing here the “marks” left by time travellers, as they visit our era and wish to denote significant temporal events, which do not depend on human free will.  

A slightly different depiction of the same alignment is shown below:  

In terms of field rotation, or how each crop picture was laid out north-east-south-west in its particular field, we found by careful study that only two of those three crop pictures (from Finale Emilia or Bracciano) point toward the epicentre of May 20, 2012. The third crop picture (at Barbiano) points 25^o east of due north, toward another region of high earthquake activity in northeast Italy:  

The ordering in time of these three crop pictures was: (1) Bracciano on May 20, 2012, then (2) Barbiano on June 6, 2013, then (3) Finale Emilia on June 9, 2013. Could further earthquakes be seen soon in northeast or north-central Italy, in the two general regions which have been circled in colour above?  

Why would time travellers need to make reference marks in fields worldwide, as they study or try to change human histories? Why can’t they simply look at the planets or stars to determine “where and when” they are? One plausible reason might be if there are multiple timelines for planet Earth, or “many worlds” as in the Everett interpretation of quantum theory (see www.scientificamerican.com or www.pbs.org). This idea has been presented recently as a science-fiction series called “Fringe”, where two “parallel Earths” are almost the same, down to individual people (see www.youtube.com), while time travellers play a significant role.  

Two other recent examples of “time travel markers” as shown in crops may be seen at fringe2013e or fringe2013g relating to geological events on April 15-20, 2013 or solar events on May 13-20, 2013. Those future-predictive crop pictures were drawn two years earlier in 2011. Another favoured “time travel marker” seems to be cometary outbursts (see time2007g or time2007h or time2007a).

P.S. We would like to thank Gian Domenico Marchi, Marina Sassi and Luke Falcon for their help on the Italian crop pictures. More indirectly, we would like to thank John Noble, Anna Torv and others for a fictional representation of what crop circle researchers are studying every day. Linda Howe noted as early as 1993 that the favoured theory of intelligence agencies on Earth, concerning crop circles, is that we are dealing with time travellers. Martin Keitel has made an interesting movie about the subject (see www.youtube.com). The scientific case for this theory is now very strong.
