I got a call from Holland this morning that Robbert has discovered a 10-circle pictogram, in the shape of a cross, in a field of grass early on Good Friday morning (April 21). Circles range in size from 2-3 meters diameter to at least 10 meters diameter. There is a most interesting story behind this event and I will ask the family if I can write it up for the Connector...photos are en route to me at the moment and, if the family says it's OK to write-up the story, I'll send it and the photos along as soon as I can. It looks as if the circles occurred around 4 a.m. Good Friday morning in the only field anywhere near that had not been sowed and planted with a crop--it sounds as if this field had been planted in some sort of grass crop which helps restore nutrients to the soils. Robbert had a very clear "dream" that the circles had arrived and, as in the past, when he and his family went searching in the area he felt they should, they found the pictogram. Reported 21st April.
Hopefully I can provide more details and photos later. Bye for now, Nancy Talbot BLT Research
UPDATE #1
Robbert, the now 20-year-old young man in Hoeven who for many years now has
been getting "intuitions" about when (and where, locally) crop circles in Holland are
forming, provided the following information about the Good Friday (April 21) "cross"
(possibly a Celtic Cross, I think) pictogram: He went to bed around 2 a.m. April 21st and then had an extremely lucid "dream,"
in which he first heard a "familiar" voice calling his name and then found himself at a
field where (in the same vicinity) crop formations have been discovered before. He
reports that he then saw a very bright, white light hovering over the field, from which
emanated multiple smaller "orangey" and bluish lights; these smaller colored lights
descended down toward the grass surface (the grass in this case was apparently at
least a foot tall) and--although he couldn't see the actual formation being made from
his vantage-point--he felt sure that a new crop circle had, in fact, just been created.
He then awoke, just before 4 a.m., and went immediately to his parents' bedroom to
tell them of the "dream." Since this particular field is some distance away from his
house, his parents drove him to the area once it was daylight and did, in fact, discover the new crop formation of 9 or 10 circles (number not clear to me yet) in the
shape of a cross.
Robbert's April 21, 2000 report (witnessed in his "dream") is very similar to a
report Barry Reynolds relayed to me about a circle that was witnessed, apparently
forming, by an elderly Sussex farmer several years ago: in that case, the farmer
stated that (while clearly awake) he saw a large, bright light over a nearby field, with
smaller colored balls descending from it down to the crop surface....where the next
day a new circle was found. The Sussex farmer's report was not, to my knowledge,
widely circulated--and I have never heard another just like it; further it is clear that
Robbert had never heard about the Sussex observation (he speaks Dutch, does not utilize the Internet, and is somewhat cloistered from other people interested in crop
circles)....and yet it sounds as if he, somehow in a "dream," has witnessed the same
thing as the Sussex farmer. Interesting, huh?
Later,
