How and
when was the Chualar crop picture made? A summary of unusual field
observations and bizarre coding features
Given
the vast amounts of confusion over what actually happened near
Chualar in late December, or over certain bizarre coding features of
that crop picture, we feel that it would be useful to briefly
summarize both subjects here.
A
concise summary of the most important field observations is provided
in a slide below:
First,
the field’s owner told CNN by phone on December 31 that he did not
know anything about the crop pattern beforehand. He hired security
guards to protect his remaining crop, immediately after it was
discovered by one of his employees (see
california-crop-circle).
Secondly, the CEO of NIVIDIA said on January 5 that he first learned
about the Chualar crop picture by “watching CNN”, and that he had
“no marketing budget” (see
blogs.nvidia.com).
Thirdly,
it was found by the farmer on December 28, but not widely known
until December 30 (see
chualar2013a).
NVIDIA says that a team of crop circle experts were flown in after
Christmas: “They worked quickly.
When morning arrived, it wasn’t long before a crowd began to gather.
Word spread fast”
(see
salinas-crop-circle-and-project-192).
This is of course incorrect.
Fourthly, a video from NIVIDIA (released January 5) shows several
men with tape and boards, walking around inside of the completed
Chualar crop picture during early afternoon. If true, this had to be
the afternoon of December 27, because it was found by an employee of
the farmer, early on the morning on December 28:
Thus the
Chualar crop picture was not made unobservedly during the night, as
the NVIDIA blog suggests. Nor was it found excitedly by crowds on
the next morning, as the same blog suggests. That group of men shown
with tape and boards inside of the Chualar field, working apparently
all day on December 27, would essentially have been “vandals”,
because the farmer stated clearly on CNN that he knew nothing about
it.
Subsequent news reports that a “Hollywood agent” had been hired to
purchase that field from the farmer are contradicted by his factual
testimony to CNN on December 31 (see above). Given several unique
landscape features of that field (see below), which no Hollywood
agent would know, such subsequent reports in mid-January can hardly
be accurate.
Fifthly,
after he was told about the new crop picture on December 28, the
farmer hired a large team from Echelon Security to guard the
completed crop picture (see
www.earthfiles.com ).
Thus a NVIDIA-sponsored team (unknown to the farmer) had to have
been working all through the previous day of December 27, based on
what we know about the technical capabilities of those crop artists
(see
fringe2013s). Since the activity they were engaged in would have
been illegal, this seems like an incredible risk for a wealthy
computer company to take!
Those
security guards then mowed out the Chualar crop picture on December
31, without ever allowing members of the public to inspect it
closely.
Sixthly,
no photographs of the Chualar crop picture were taken until December
30, when it was discovered accidently by a local TV news crew flying
over in a helicopter (see above). This again contradicts the NVIDIA
account that it was “made quickly, then crowds gathered the next
morning.”
Finally,
no photographs have been released (as I write this) of either a
partly completed crop picture, or of plants being flattened. This is
standard practice for any commissioned crop picture to prove a
man-made origin.
Did
those NVIDIA employees actually make this crop picture with tape and
boards? Or did they simply enter an already completed crop picture
(say on the afternoon of December 28, 29 or 30), holding tape
measures and boards to pretend that they had made it?
If their
inconsistent story is not true, then it may have been made by
unknown parties on the night of December 27, or early in the morning
of December 28.
When we
study the many different images or codes shown in that Chualar crop
picture, this strange account becomes even more unbelievable! Some
of those bizarre codes are summarized in the slide below:
First,
there was a code inside using Braille for “1-9-2”, which is the
number of cores in a Tegra K1 chip. Yet its users will not be
physically blind.
Secondly, there are two bizarre codes in Morse to suggest that
extra-terrestrials exist, and that the (dead and forgotten) comet
Ison is a spaceship!
Thirdly,
a large “comet” image runs through the top of the “chip”, to suggest
that these new Tegra K1 chips will be used soon to photograph a
bright comet in Earth’s skies. The Tegra K1 chip is supposed to
improve face recognition, while that “comet” image shows a “smiley
face”. What a clever joke!
Fourthly, three telephone poles (just below the crop picture) align
with both the “chip” and the “head” of that comet as for a “polar
clock”. Chualar is thus a stylistic copy of Manton Drove in crops
from June 2, 2012.
Fifthly,
there is a large landscape feature, slightly to the east, which
resembles the crop picture in broad outline. This feature can only
be seen from the air, or by using Google Earth.
Sixthly,
three large circles outside repeat the “1-9-2” Braille code to make
a 12-hour clock face. Again this suggests some kind of “polar
clock”.
Finally,
the new Chualar crop picture looks like an old Tegra 4 chip on the
outside, but resembles a new Tegra K1 chip on the inside:
Which
advertising department in their right mind would show part of the
old chip, and part of the new, while trying to say that the new chip
is better? Surely they would draw just the new chip, and forget
about the old?
In
summary, the Chualar crop picture was a great practical joke, but by
made by whom, and addressed to whom? The farmer did not know, the
CEO of NVIDIA did not know, and its images seem so bizarre that, if
the general public fully understood what they said, a rush to other
competitors might ensue. We look forward to see what happens next.
