Lowville, Ontario, Canada.  Reported 17th October.


"CRESCENT" FORMATION IN ONTARIO
*Preliminary Report*

A large crop "formation", roughly in the shape of a crescent or "c" was reported on October 17 near Lowville, Ontario. Found by Mike Bird, a research associate of Drew Gauley, Ontario co-ordinator for CPR-Canada.

In cattle corn (8' - 12' tall). Approx. 210' north to south by 177' east to west. Possibly up to a few weeks old. "Teardrop" shaped area of standing corn inside the crescent approximately 10' across. Also two "companion" shapes outside the main formation, one on the edge of the field and another to the south, each about 5' by 15'.

Stalks were broken and "burned" at break points. Also white powdery /cobweb-like material found underneath a denser section of flattened crop (crop was planted sparsely, in rows two feet apart). Possibly a natural fungus (?).

Ground shots and samples (of plants, soil and "cobweb" material) taken.

This makes fourteen reports now from Canada this year, in five provinces!

Further details, photos soon.
