Hi all....just got off phone with witness to huge crop circle which occurred near Milan,
Tennessee (about mid-way between Memphis & Nashville). Very interesting story.
In a field of winter-wheat immediately across from her front door, a very long (perhaps 1/4 to 1/2 mile long) pictogram occurred on the Sunday night, April 23-24,
probably about 3 am. Witness's 10-year-old daughter and a "sleep-over" friend were
awakened at about 3 am by a "weird" humming noise; there were no windows in the room they were sleeping in so it is not known whether there was light
phenomena associated. A family dog, which had been sleeping on the mother's bed, also barked
around this time. At about 7 am Monday morning, upon opening the front door to let
the dog out, the mother saw the huge crop formation in the field opposite her front
door. She and a step-son went into the field briefly and noted somewhere around 10
circles and associated pathways, at least one circle that was ringed, another circle
that had occurred around an electricity pole in the middle of the field. They did not
explore the whole formation because there are many snakes in this field, including
copperheads and water mocasins (both of which are poisonous)--ANYBODY THINKING OF VISITING THIS SITE BE SURE TO WEAR HIGH BOOTS. After
exiting the field both the mother and step-son noted "pain" in their legs, up to the
knees; both have also felt "light-headed" and unusually fatigued all of this week since
being in the circle field. The mother contacted a local crop-duster, who is apparently
also interested in crop circles, and he stated that there were other crop circles "all
over the place" in this area. In fact, the mother states that there is another small
circle in a field immediately behind her mobile home which occurred the same night
as the larger one in front of her house. No aerial photos have yet been taken, but I've
alerted other interested parties in the area who will try to get some, particularly since
the crop duster is apparently willing to take people up to get shots. It is also of interest to note that the phones did not work the morning the crop
circles were discovered and repairmen from the phone company had to come out to work on the lines. Also, the family's computer would not work that morning. The
mother also reports that some of the downed crop was already yellow on the first
day after the formation was found. Also, the mother had noted about a week previously that there was dead cow lying in a driveway about 1/2 mile from her home
(which is in a very rural area)--and that there seemed to be very peculiar cuts on this
animal.
In addition, the mother reported a very peculiar incident that had happened to her
when she was 15 or 16 years old, living in Selmer, TN with her mother, 2 sisters and
a brother. She related this story to me stating that it had "nothing to do with the crop
circle," but I am not so sure: on the night of this incident she and her mother and
sisters and brother were all awakened in their home at about 2 am by a strange "beeping" noise directly over their house; then, in sync with the beeping sound, a
beam of light came down through their ceiling, on and off, for 10 to 15 minutes. The
whole family was terrified and afraid to go outside and look up. The next morning
she was found to have massive bruises all over her legs which could not be accounted for. That same day a young boy who lived nearby came to visit her & told
her, without knowing about the family's experience, that a relative of his who had
been out "spooning" that night nearby had seen a number of "aliens" which had so
frightened him that he'd driven the whole way home with all 4 car-doors open and
flying about.
I spoke with this woman at length and, perhaps if I hadn't also spoken with
hundreds of other people over the last 10 years who have reported crop circles in
their fields or near where they lived, and heard the incredible stories so very many of
them tell, I might not be so inclined to believe her. But I have no reason at all to
doubt this particular lady. She is going to try to contact the owner of the dead cow
and find out more about whatever that's all about; she's only lived in this area for
about a year and doesn't know too many people--and the people she has told about
the crop circle are, by and large, inclined to think she's making it up or being silly. I
sincerely don't think so, although I don't know how to understand this series of
events....but overall what she told me tonight is in line with what I've been hearing
from farmers, ranchers and other land-owners in several different countries for many
years, but more so recently.
Thought I should pass this stuff along, because it sounds to me as if it's for
real....and, thus, impacts all of us. Nancy Talbott/BLT Research
The circles are on 186 caraway hills rd , Milan TN. I took a few pictures from the ground but don't know how to work the scanner, my hubby will be home tomorrow, I will have him to send them. I discovered the circles Sunday morning the 24th of April. Thank you.
