Aerial shot of whole formation
Initial photos of the Hagersville, Ontario #1 crop formation (July
22, 1999) are now available. Attached are two aerial
images (© Ivan Bomberry). This is the smaller (75') of the two patterns. Photos taken by
helicopter.
Please note that the formation had already been harvested when the
first aerials were able to be taken, and some parts of the formation are not as easy to
discern. Please refer to the diagram posted on the web site (based on both aerial and
ground observations) for specific configurations. Additional images, including ground
shots, will be available soon.
Many thanks to Ivan Bomberry and Clynt King for their assistance in aquiring these photos.

UPDATE #3
A diagram has been added to the web site (also attached, © Paul
Anderson, CPR-Canada) showing the relationship between the smaller Hagersville #1
formation and the lunar eclipse which occurred on the evening of July 28, as described by
Lynda Powless (see Update #2, July 30). Diagram based on fax copy from Lynda. Indicated is
the position of where Lynda was standing inside the formation at the time, at the end of
the one "arm" which points to where the moon was in the sky.

UPDATE #2
The two formations (in two separate fields) are on the Six Nations
Reserve, a Native Indian reservation at New Credit near the town of Hagersville, Ontario
(near Hamilton). Additional photos and video taken by helicopter yesterday by Clynt King.
Elaborate layering and "braiding" of wheat in both formations. Lay inside one of
the circles resembles a "star" pattern as well as overlapping of stalks in
places in four layers, in four different directions, like a "folded cardboard
box", and crop laid alternately clockwise and counterclockwise within some circles.
Some circles also have standing centres, making them more like fat rings than plain
circles. A lot of local media and public interest in these formations.
Hagersville, Ontario #1:
Formation is 75' long by 55' wide.
Hagersville, Ontario #2:
Formation is 302' long by 40' wide.
Initial aerial shot of formation #2 attached (© Ivan Bomberry). Note: formations had
already been harvested by farmer, but can
still be seen in the 6" standing cut crop. Please refer to diagram previously sent
(also on web site). Closer aerial and ground photos coming soon.

UPDATE #1
The investigation and circumstances surrounding the appearance of the
two new crop formations in Ontario continues to become more interesting.
I spoke at length this afternoon with Lynda Powless, a Native Indian resident of the Six
Nations / New Credit reservation where the formations were found. She is the editor of The
Turtle Island News, a local newspaper for residents of the community.
She described the same elaborate lay patterns in both formations. In virtually all the
pathways joining the circles, the crop is "braided"; in the smaller formation,
the wheat is flattened in one direction, then a second layer of wheat is flattened over
top of this, at a diagonal flow to the pathways themselves. In others, one section of crop
flows in one direction along the pathways, then the crop adjacent to this goes in the
opposite direction. Very similar to the infamous "4:20" formation at Cando,
Saskatchewan in 1998.
In one of the circles in the longer formation (the one at the end of the pattern extending
at a right angle out from the main part of the formation), the wheat is laid in a
"five-pointed star" pattern, where the points of the star are made by
"squares of flattened crop laid over top of each other, each angled a bit from the
ones next to it to create a star-like outline". Some Hopi Indian elders have
also expressed interest in these formations, she said, the "star" lay pattern in
particular. At one point along one of the pathways in the smaller formation, the tops of
the stalks were "singed or burned". Unfortunately, these have all been picked
off by visitors (150 - 200 per day now). She was able, however to get photos of this as
well the intricate lay patterns, before all the vistors starting arriving (!). Copies are
being forwarded and will be posted as soon as possible.
Then there are the lights...
About two weeks ago, she said, some of the residents of the reservation reported seeing
two bright lights hovering just above these two (adjacent) fields. Then, on Saturday the
24th, another resident saw, and *photographed*, *three large beams of light like large
spotlights*, extending up into the air from the same or nearby field. Does this sound
familiar??? (very similar sighting reported in England this summer). The three beams of
light then converged into one large beam. Photos were printed I am told in a recent issue
of the newspaper, and copies of these as well are being forwarded. Ken King, who I also
spoke to this evening, and who owns the field with the larger formation, said that people
in the area have reported seeing similar beams and lights over the past two or three
weeks. He also mentioned that a number of people have had their digital cameras fail
inside or near the formations (including his
own as they flew over by helicopter on the 28th to obtain more aerial shots; good photos
were successfully taken with the other analog camera). Some video footage taken showed
only "snow" when played back. Also reports of people experiencing headaches and
/ or nausea. The usual (!). One person who took a geiger counter into the circles last
Tuesday reportedly obtained a reading of
about 600, with a "normal" reading of about 150 outside. Ken is going to try to
have that experiment repeated next week.
As well, Lynda told me that she was standing at the end of one of the arms of the smaller
formation on the night of the 28th, the night of a *lunar eclipse* here in Canada. She
noticed that this arm of the formation pointed directly at where the moon was in the sky.
Another tie-in between formations this year and eclipses?? A diagram of this will be
posted soon. I have also posted a link to a report by Ontario resident and researcher
Krsanna Duran examining this and other possible connections:
http://www.iaml.net/~timestar/hagerscrop.htm
Also, there are apparently two other circles nearby the smaller formation, not initally
reported but found later, about the same size as the other circles in this formation.
There have also been good reports on the circles in the July 29 (front page) and July 30
editions of The Hamilton Spectator newspaper in Ontario.
Many thanks to everyone who have assisted in this investigation. As this location is a
long ways across the country from me (Vancouver, BC) and funds have been tight, I haven't
been able to get to the site yet myself. Hopefully there will be more formations in
western Canada again this year.

The first known crop formations in Canada for this year were reported
to the main CPR-Canada office (Vancouver, BC) on July 25. Report received from Drew
Gauley, Ontario representative for CPR-Canada, after an initial ground inspection. Two
pictogram type formations close to Hagersville, Ontario (near Hamilton), reported to the
CPR-Ontario office on July 22 by Clynt King, whose brother, Ken, owns the fields.
Hagersville, Ontario #2:
Simple pictogram type formation, about 60 - 70 feet long, in wheat. Two circles connected
by various straight and curved
pathways. In adjacent field to #1.
Copies of *preliminary* gif diagrams attached (© Paul Anderson, CPR-Canada, based on Drew
Gauley's initial fax copies of Clynt
King's diagrams). More details when available. Photos and video (both ground and aerial)
taken and will be available soon. Reported
on local TV news stations. Reportedly first discovered around two weeks ago and
subsequently harvested by the farmer, however
standing cut wheat is about 6" tall and the flattened formations can still be clearly
seen. Arrangements being made to try and get sampling done for BLT. Based on initial
descriptions, the larger of the two formations may be the largest and most complex yet
seen in this country. Both formations contain elaborate lay patterns and layering of the
wheat in various directions (up to four layers deep) and standing tufts of wheat in the
centres of some circles.

With fourteen reports in 1998, hopefully these are only the first for this year!

"When Dreams and Visions Become Reality"
August 4, 1999
_____________________________
Clynt King, a resident of the Six Nations Reserve at New Credit near Hagersville, Ontario
where the new crop formations were found has wrote some of his thoughts on their meaning.
Clynt, and his brother Ken who owns the field with the longer 300 foot formation, have
both been very helpful in their assistance. Inspiring reading, enjoy.

WHEN DREAMS AND VISIONS BECOME REALITY
My name is Clynt King. A wheat formation was made in the field behind my house. I first
noticed it on Thursday July 22, 1999. My brother, Ken King, discovered a second formation
in a nearby field on Friday July 23, 1999.
I have made the following scientific observations about the formations:
- The wheat was bent down close to the earth.
- Some of the wheat was bent down and curved.
- The wheat stalks and heads were still intact, not crushed or broken.
- Some of the wheat was braided together in various patterns.
- The wheat was laid down in a complex manner that showed basic and advanced geometry. For
example, the wheat was laid down at specific angles relative to the overall pattern and
one circle showed an advanced geometric star like pattern.
- The overall patterns showed precise symmetry.
- The geometric figures of circles, rectangles and arcs were used repeatedly throughout
the formations.
- The geometric figures, when looked at collectively, show a complex design similar to
petroglyphs.
- The prime numbers 1, 3, 5, 7 and 11, or multiples of them, show up throughout the
formations. These numbers show up in measurements and in the number of wheat rows used.
- The overall length of the largest formation is approximately 303 feet long.
- The overall length of the smaller formation is approximately 75 feet long.
Considering just the above observations, I can conclude that the formations were made with
a high level of knowledge and skill. This was not formed by a natural force normally seen
in wind or rain or the way wheat grows. Another observation to consider is that some
electronic equipment does not work within or near the formations.
If a person, or group of people, made these formations, I would expect that there would
have been evidence of their activity at the site. For example, they would have left some
wheat around the site crushed and broken. Also, logistically, they would have taken a long
time to make such formations, therefore, someone |would have noticed them in the field.
The complexity of weaving the wheat into intricate geometric formations without damaging
the wheat would be an extremely difficult task. I believe this is beyond the ability of
any person or group of people.
Therefore, I conclude, based on the above observations and evidence that the formations
were not made by any person or group of people.
The complexity of the formations allow many interpretations to be made at many levels. The
acceptance of one interpretation
does not mean we have to reject others.
When dreams and visions become reality I need the advice and guidance of others to better
understand what has happened and what I need to do next. It was suggested that I write
down and distribute what the crop formations mean to me. My understanding comes from my
own experiences and the experiences of others. I will offer my understanding for you to
consider.
- The main message is that the Star People are here to help us. They will soon be visible
to everyone.
- We need to open up our minds to each other and become one mind.
- We need to open up our spiritual eyes.
- We need to remember how we are interconnected to everything else.
- We will experience some very difficult times soon. The Star People will help us through
this. The Spirit world will also help us. We must help ourselves
by coming together as one mind with our spiritual eyes open.
- The message was put in the field by the Star People, Mother Earth and our Creator. They
used three balls of light to do this.
- Our Earth Mother is pregnant and a new world will soon be born. We need to help our
Earth Mother by doing special Water
Ceremonies for her.
First we need to learn the Water Ceremonies and the deeper meanings. Then we must do the
Water Ceremonies. - After the new world is born a dimensional doorway will open back up.
The door is currently sealed shut but our ancestors used it in the
past. We will be able to communicate and travel to other worlds through this doorway.
This is a simple message that many other people have received and have spoken
about. There is nothing to fear in this message.
This is a great blessing for our family and communities to receive. I will do whatever I
can to help.
