Updated Monday 9th July 2001
| (UPDATE) After an initial inspection this past week by researchers Chad Deetken of Pacific Research and Graham Conway of UFOBC, it appears that the circles were a probable hoax, apparently timed for the Canada Day weekend. Six circles in all, about 4.5 meters (15 feet) diameter each; at least some of them are reportedly uneven with messy lays and damaged plants. A badly done 'Canadian flag' was also found a short distance away. Even if a hoax, an investigation is still worthwhile, if only to use this case as a comparison study for future formations, being able to compare the physical properties of known man-made circles with those that are genuinely unknown (I will be going to the location this week, after not being able to last week, to do a general survey, etc.; field report to follow shortly - PA). Preliminary Report - July 4, 2001 Report received from Graham Conway of UFOBC and Marius Scurtescu of two small circles in tall wild grass In Surrey, BC, first noticed by Marius while driving over the Port Mann Bridge on the evening of July 2. The circles are reportedly about 2 meters (6 feet) diameter each and on a steep slope. The location is about 22 kilometers (13.5 miles) from the CCCRN office in Vancouver (I personally won't be able to go take a look until the weekend with my work schedule but will do! - PA). ** Just received word from David Pengilly of UFOBC who has been out to see them and confirmed them as two small circles, in tall grass (or possibly barley), on the hill between 152nd Street and the bridge, with very neat, spiralled lay patterns. For this area which over the years has had very few, sporadic reports, even two simple circles are welcome. Further details, photos, etc. soon. ____________________________ |
