Hoeven, Holland. Reported 6th June.


Updated  Wednesday 16th June  1999


UPDATE#1 UPDATE#2

Got a good one for you. Received a call this a.m. from Holland regarding the formation of a new crop circle near Hoeven Sunday night: the boy there, Robert ( whom I've gone to see several times), who witnesses regularly balls of light, and who had the experience 2 years ago of being in the middle of a field, seeing hundreds of small (grapefruit-sized, I think) balls of light some of which then came around him, apparently causing him to lose consciousness, then waking to find himself in the middle of a new crop circle.....this Robert witnessed on Sunday night (June 6-7) another cc forming. He is somehow tuned in to the circles and, often, he will feel very anxious, upset, etc. for several days just before a new circle occurs; last weekend he had such a time, feeling pretty awful apparently. Sunday night he awoke sometime after midnight (not sure about exact time yet) and had a strong urge to open his curtains and look out the windows (which look out over his family's back garden and a farmer's fields beyond); he looked out the windows and observed what he describes as a basically football-shaped light, smaller than a football, but ovoid, and a pinkish-purple color (he said the color was very unusual and one he had not seen in association with the light balls before). He couldn't tell whether the light was far away and coming closer or whether it was right over the field and getting larger. But what he saw was this football shaped pinkish-purple light "hanging" in the air about 3 m over the grain field, stationary; then the light began to spread out, getting larger and larger, until it covered about a 30' diameter area. At this point it was apparently quite thin, very "disc-shaped" in appearance, still "hanging" in the air. Then it sounds as if he saw what might be described as electricity, or electric discharges, going down toward the ground, emanating from the underside of this "disc." This electrical discharge, or whatever it was, went on for quite a few seconds I think. Then suddenly the disc was gone--POOF. He immediately went out into his back garden, thru the hedge and into the field, where he found a brand   new 30' circle in the 2-1/2' tall grain field; I couldn't get whether  this is wheat or not (translation difficulties). It most likely is wheat, I think, since this farmer rotates his crops and plants wheat regularly.

Robert said he could feel a "strong energy" in the circle, and that it was a very "positive" energy, that it had "love, love, love" in it.

This new circle is in almost exactly the same location as a flax-seed circle last year, a circle in snow the year previously, and several other events over the last several years....the entire field is in direct view from his bedroom windows. This is also the location of the huge glowing ball of light which approached his windows, leaving the white material which was sent to BLT for analysis, which revealed that it was absolutely pure magnesium oxide, as well as numerous other balls of light which have approached the house (leaving all sorts of marks, which BLT has been studying), the boy himself, the neighbors from time to time, and even myself on my first visit there in the spring of '98 (I think it was). The light display I witnessed (along with both of his parents) that first night I was there was really quite incredible. A very strong physical sensation
proceeded the display, a tingling which moved up my body toward my head, reaching quite intense levels by the time it reached my neck (to the point where I was very seriously looking for the door), then abruptly ceasing and the light display beginning....many many lights, some balls just hanging in the air, some driblets, some like flash-bulbs, huge blobs dropping down and hitting  the patio floor, all aimed directly at the windows immediately behind which I and the parents were sitting. The display would last for perhaps 30 seconds, then stop. Then 30 seconds to l minute would elapse and the tingling would start again, slowly rising up our bodies, reaching an intensity level at our necks which was close to uncomfortable--then, boom, it would stop and the light display would start again. This happened over an 11 minute period, from about 2 am to 2:11 am, with somewhere between 5-7 of these light displays occurring.

When I returned months later, and we hung a crystal out in a small tree in the backyard to see if this would affect anything, another, less dramatic, display occurred.

The parents and
Robert, who had seen occasional small lights out in this garden (same location) on many occasions had never seen a display like this and were sure it was because I was there, that it was for me. I don't know if it was for me, but I strongly felt that it was very definitely location-specific, i.e., that it was happening in front of those windows, and only there, on purpose. On whose purpose I don't know. But it really did seem deliberate. That night the family had wanted to go to bed early, but I had had some feeling not to go to bed.  I had asked them all to go ahead and go to sleep, because I knew they were probably tired....and Robert did go to bed, and to sleep. But the parents, being perfect hosts, refused and stayed up with me talking in the living room (which is right under Robert's bedroom, thru which windows he observed this cc forming Sunday night). I didn't see the first flash of light, but the father did, and we all turned around in our chairs to watch the windows. Then, for some reason I don't understand, I KNEW something was getting ready to happen. And, when the light display had been going for quite awhile, I also KNEW when it was
ending...I KNEW it was done when it was done. I could feel it somehow. Very strange.

Either this place, or this boy (and/or his family), or both, appear to  have something to do with the lights and the circles happening there;
Robert is absolutely certain that this is a spiritual phenomenon and that the circles are happening for people, so that people can pay attention....he doesn't have any idea why he in particular should be involved....but he has developed healing powers that are becoming well-known in Holland....and he thinks these things are related.

I think I'm going to Holland to do sampling....and just to be there. The family wants me there & Levengood thinks I should be there; and a backer has offered the necessary money....so I guess I should go. Frankly it scares me a little bit. It's very clear that something's going on and it's not stopping; these balls of light have on several occasions burned the wooden trim on the house and also the metal roof of a birdhouse attached to the house....so it makes me a little nervous. But
Robert (and his family) are sure that it's OK and none of them have been harmed, so I'm probably just being a sissy. I'm just not the bravest person in the world.

Photos have been taken of the circle & I'll forward them on to you when I get them....have tons of photos of the burned places on the house, etc., maybe will get them together for you too...the white powder, the birdhouse roof, etc.

Thought you'd like to know about this.

UPDATE#1

The entire event only took 2-3 minutes, from the time Robbert obvserved the "football" shaped (but slightly smaller) "misty pinkish-purple" light coming toward him across the farmer's field to the time the cc was made....actually 2 CROP CIRCLES, not just one: one is about 30' diameter, the other approx. 10' diameter, apparently in close proximity to each other. No connecting path so far as I know. When this football-shaped "light" got to the point about 50 meters away from Robbert's window it just "hung" in the air, about 10-12 ft. over the crop, then began to elongate or spread out....until it was approx. the 30 ft. in diameter, now very thin and having a "disc" shape; Robbert was very clear, tho, that it was NOT a UFO, not a hard metallic-looking surface, but rather still this misty or foggy pinkish-purple light, just spread out. Then the "electrical" discharge occurred from the bottom surface of this light/object/whatever, with the crop circles in the  field below apparently the result of this activity.

I was making plans to fly to the Netherlands immediately myself, but now Eltjo says he thinks he can get to the site this weekend to do sampling for BLT; if he is willing to do the extensive work that must be done it would be more expedient for us....I will let you know. If he can't do it, I am going to try to get there and do it myself.

Also, regarding the Maryland randomly-downed fields: photos have arrived and in at least 2 of these fields we have what I believe to be your basic "dragon's feet" type downed-crop. Very clear edges, standing tufts, chaotically-downed crop within the events...no clear geometric outline. Not ordinary weather damage associated with over-fertilization in my opinion. I'll forward on some of these photos. The Blue Ball, Maryland formations of several years ago looked just like this and produced the greatest node expansion we have yet seen in the lab; my bet is that the Blue Ball, MD and the recent MD events are related to the geometric phenomenon and I wonder if we may expect more geometric events in this area in the future? Levengood notes that the weather patterns in the U.S. are generally more turbulent than in the U.K. and thinks this turbulence may have something to do with the Maryland events being not fully geometric.

UPDATE#2

Can't believe this, but last night (Friday) at just past midnight, Robert (the boy in Holland) again felt he must look out his windows overlooking the wheat field behind his house. And again he witnessed a brand new circle being made. This time there was simply a flash of light, similar to the flashes he and his family (and I) have seen many times in their back garden, out over the wheat field.....and immediately below it a brand new circle. It is apparently larger than the 2 which he watched form on Sunday night last....this circle I think is approximately 50 ft. in diameter, also in wheat. The lay on the first 2 circles (Sunday night) was clockwise; the lay in this new circle is anti-clockwise.

Robert & I talked for a couple of hours yesterday and it is hard for me to explain the energy I felt coming from him; I could literally FEEL it in my home in Massachusetts...it was very warm, and absolutely ebullient. It was so strong it was almost pungent and I wondered if I was making it up... But I think I literally was getting a dose of what Robert says is emanating from the circles themselves. Both of us think there is going to be more. Photos taken from the first set of circles also have numerous anomalies in them....they are on their way to me....will try to get copies to you guys as soon as I can.

These circles are being sampled in depth; we will also re-sample them just before harvest. Will keep you informed.
