Lowville, Ontario, Canada. Reported 22nd October.
Updated Tuesday 22nd February 2000
Preliminary Report - November 14
Still another crop circle formation, the 20th reported this year in Canada, has been found near Lowville, Ontario. Reported by Rob McConnell
of the X-Zone radio show and researcher Patrick Cross.
First discovered October 22, the formation consists of a "teardrop" shape and other "diamond" shapes, in 8' tall corn.
Patrick reports that he and fellow researchers who went into the formation on the ground, experienced various equipment anomalies,
such as camera failure inside the formation, EMF (electromagnetic frequency) emissions and odd compass movements (three compasses
moved the same amount at the same time) as well as an unusual "humming" sound which seemed to emanate from nowhere in particular,
just "all around" (reminiscent of the Tennessee, USA formation from earlier this year). Also a white cobweb-like material found under
some of the flattened stalks. This case, while the formation itself is different, is very similar to the more random appearing pattern
found at Lowville last year (found October 17), also in tall corn plants. The formation was also investigated by the local RCMP (police) who
reportedly collected samples for testing at a nearby lab (we are in the process of getting more information on this and what their
findings are, if any). Not known yet at this point if formation is still there, or if additional sampling can be done for the BLT Research
Team (Dr. W. C. Levengood).
More details when available.
