Early this week I reported here what is
supposed to be the first crop formation in Brazil in this
new season. It was found on October 31 at 2:45 pm in a wheat
crop near the city of Bom Jesus, in the west of state of
Santa Catarina. It can be easily seen by people passing by
the highway SC 467, only some 300-400 m from the formation.
The road has heavy traffic and is used day and night. It is
actually comprised of two circles, one 14 m in diameter and
another, smaller, 4.5 m in diameter.

The reason why crop formations supposedly
authored by non- terrestrial intelligences are such a big
item to Brazilian UFO researchers is because this is a very
new phenomenon in my country. Despite the fact that all
sorts of formations have been found initially in England and
now in over 30 countries in the world since the 80s, in
Brazil we have _never_ registered any single case of a crop
formation prior to 2008.
This is very intriguing because, assuming
that the phenomena is connected to UFOs I believe it is ,
we have to wonder why Brazil has never had one single case
in over 3 decades of great activity of crop formations in so
many countries, since it has contributed to the worldwide
UFO scenario in so
many ways and with so many cases. Why not a single crop
formation here in three decades?
In previous years I have reported in this
List the first occurrences of these phenomena in my country,
which I have personally pursued and investigated since the
very beginning:

I haven’t taken any samples of soil and
plants to analyze due to the fact that when I did it in the
previous years I haven’t been able to persuade any
laboratory to exam them. However, I have tried to use my
cell phone (an iPhone 3GS) inside and nearby the formation,
as I have successfully done in previous years. That whole
region doesn’t have any single station of my cellular
operator, Tim, and therefore I wasn’t supposed to have
signal in my phone. But I did, yet not enough to originate a
call or send a text message. Walking away from the
formation, the signal disappears fast.
In 2009, while investigating an amazing
triangular crop formation in the near city of Ipuaçu, where
these phenomena started in Brazil, I was able to have good
signal in my cell (an iPhone 3G then) and actually did
several phone calls from inside of it. On that year there
wasn’t any cellular
operator at all in that vast region of
the state of Santa Catarina, especially that area. But you
could call and receive calls from inside the formation, as I
and many other people did.
So far we have had some 20 cases of crop
formations in Brazil in the last four years, and some easily
detectable hoaxes. They are all concentrated in the same
area in the state of Santa Catarina with a few non confirmed
ones in other states. It is yet not known why these
phenomena are all located in that area, literally appearing
away from great centres or in vast populated
areas in other parts of Brazil.
In this trip alone I have driven some 650
miles in 36 hours to evaluate these two cases, Bom Jesus and
Ouro Verde, and spoke with dozens of people looking for
info, details and possible witnesses of strange luminous
phenomena possible connected to the formation, as I
successfully found in 2008 and 2009 cases. I keep searching.
I am no expert in this kind of cases, but I am considering
developing a line of research of them apart from the rest I
do in Ufology. It means also get properly equipped to
investigate the formations.
It seems that the crop formation
phenomena in Brazil happen in the same timeframe every year
since the beginning of them, from late October to
mid-November. So did the previous cases I analyzed. Despite
the fact that I have a small trip to Los Angeles and San
Francisco, California, this next
Wednesday, lasting till November 16th, I
have settled a team of researchers to keep that area under
observation for future cases and report immediately if they
happen.
Although these intriguing crop formations
supposedly authored by non-terrestrial intelligences are a
big item to Brazilian ufologists, I am afraid, however, that
very few have decided to investigate them in locu, as I have
done, and there is yet some skepticism towards them,
curiously originated from those who didn’t find interesting
to check them out personally. New Images
