INTERNATIONAL CROP CIRCLES OF 1999 |

Diagram Paul Anderson Copyright 1999 UPDATE The second formation in the Edmonton region (September 21) is another variation on a sort of "Julia Set" or fractal type theme (see updated diagram attached, © Paul Anderson). Formation consists of seven circles, in barley, and is approximately 190 feet across. All of the circles have a *radial* lay pattern, with the crop radiating out from the centres of the circles, not swirled in the usual rotational lay pattern. There are many stretched nodes on the plant stalks from within the formation, from 200% to 300% normal. According to Nancy Talbott of the BLT Research Team, this is the most ever seen in a barley formation or even most wheat formations. Also, the field is full of thick, tall thistle plants, which were flattened down along with the barley inside the formation, and make walking through the field very difficult to do without scratching one's self to shreds! A ground survey / images from Judy Arndt will be available soon for this formation as well. Another crop circle formation was reported yesterday to CPR-Canada,
near Edmonton, Alberta (the second in the area this year). Reported by the farmer, Rusty Manuel, and Judy Arndt, a local researcher (who
has done wonderful field surveys and sampling of the Acadia Valley, Alberta and Neilburg, Saskatchewan formations this year).

| In 2004 the BLT Research Team posted the most comprehensive
scientific study carried out to-date on a single crop circle, a
191-foot long, 7-circle formation in thistle-invested barley in
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
Although the field was planted in barley, it was also infested
with Canadian thistle, a tough & very prickly plant which is
extremely difficult to flatten:
In spite of this the 7 circles were found to be intricately
flattened, with a narrow counter-clockwise band around the
perimeter of each circle which was underneath a
radially-laid second layer, topped off with a totally chaotic
third layer on top:
With financial support from Laurance Rockefeller we were able to carry out a thorough examination of the plants, as well as testing of the surface soils for the presence of magnetic spheres and an x-ray diffraction analysis of specific heat-sensitive clay minerals in these surface soils. The results were as strong as any we have seen. The plants showed massive node elongation and presence of multiple expulsion cavities and the magnetic spheres were also present. Most stunning was the discovery of an increase in the crystalline structure of the clay minerals in the surface soils, a change previously known by geologists to occur only in sedimentary rock--never in surface soils before. During the study neither I nor any of the four BLT scientific consultants involved in this study were aware that another highly anomalous situation was related to this crop formation--that there were at least 4 eyewitnesses to UFOs over the study field shortly before the crop circle was discovered. The TV show "Unsolved Mysteries" did, in fact, document these sightings and we've now posted an edited version of that show at the beginning of our "XRD Clay Mineral Study" Report (video clip posted right beneath the diagram of the XRD Study crop circle): http://www.bltresearch.com/xrd.php.
