On Hutterite Colony land. Six circles,
largest about 44 feet. Four are in straight line, with two other "doughnut"
rings. In duram wheat. Reportedly has caused a lot of excitement among the colony members!
According to both farmers and reporters who were in the circles, no tracks, damage,
disturbed stones in soil or other signs of human involvement were found.
Note: photos were taken
after circles were combined, as all circles were combined almost immediately.
Other ground shots by farmers being sent to CPR-Canada.
Outlook will be sampled this coming week. The CPR-Canada (and CCCS) representative for Alberta, Gordon Sopczak is going out there.
UPDATE ON CONQUEST / OUTLOOK FORMATIONS
Further investigation of the circles at Conquest and Outlook, Saskatchewan has shown that
several of the circles have intricate "cross" features attached to them,
comprised of two layers of flattened wheat overlapping each other at right angles.
Additional ground investigation was conducted this past weekend by Gordon Sopczak,
CPR-Canada and CCCS representative
for Alberta. All circles have very nice spiral lay patterns, with the crop pressed hard to
the ground. The circles themselves are still there, even after being combined, as the
wheat in the circles is pressed very close to the ground, and therefore was not cut. The
farmers at both sites have been very co-operative, as have local reporters. Also, the
Outlook circles were first discovered August 11, not August 18.
The Conquest and Outlook circles were featured in a full page article, including colour
ground photographs, in the August 27 issue of The Western Producer, one of Canada's
leading agricultural publications, which constitutes a significant breakthrough in
bringing this phenomenon to the serious attention of the mainstream farming, media and
science communities in this country. There has also been other local media coverage of
these formations, plus the Esterhazy dumbell.
