Deception Crop Circle

The case of crop circles on the end of the 70 starts in southern England. Big up to twenty-five meters in diameter or as small as a wheel, these mysterious circles appeared at night during the summer, and inside the ears were folded into a spiral and not broken. We became aware of their presence only since 1980. When the newspapers began to talk about it, the circles gradually increased in number (from 3 in 1980 to 700 in 1990) and began to present increasingly complex forms. Not more than simple circles, but circles connected to each other, with straight, wreaths and various appendices, triangles, rectangles and spurs combined to create elaborate and spectacular "pictograms", as they were defined. Immediately, all kinds of assumptions were made by "cereaologi" - so, in fact, called themselves the experts on crop circles "force fields", "plasma vortices" and, of course, "evidence of UFOs." Two of these experts, in particular, Pat Delgado and Colin Andrew, proponents of the UFO, became the most famous scholars of circles and released a series of books that made them rich.

In July 1990, several Groups of volunteers belonging to VECA (Voyage Etude CercleS Angles), an association of French ufologists, is stationed in the hills of Westbury, one of the places with the highest concentration of circles, for several days with the hope of witnessing the birth of a circle. One night he noticed the movement and the shooting was carried out with an infrared camera. The next day he discovered new rims, but the camera revealed that humans were present in the field. The hypothesis that it was a joke began to circulate, but was constantly rejected by experts in mind as Delgado and Andrew as impossible. This is despite a group of VECA had failed to prove that it was possible to enter a wheat field and make a circle with a garden roller. In September 1991 Delgado was invited by the British newspaper Today to inspect a new circle mysteriously appeared. The expert examined the grain carefully and exclaimed enthusiastically: "This is without doubt the best moment of my research. No human being may have created a work like this!" Then the twist: the journalists have two British pensioners, David Chorley and Douglas Bower, who that morning had made the drawing, using ropes and a couple of sticks, under the watchful eyes of journalists. Delgado left speechless. The two pensioners, who managed the effort to create one of the most hoax of the century, had gone the day before in the offices of Today to reveal that the authors of most of the circles made by ten years had been to that part themselves. It all began one summer evening in the mid-seventies, to Cheesefoot Head, near Winchester. Doug Bower, has long interested in the UFO phenomenon, "said Dave Chorley that while he was in Australia he had heard a story about a UFO would come down to Queensland and would leave a circular sign in the grass. Pointing to a wheat field adjacent Bower asked, "What do you think would happen if we create an impression over there? Surely someone would suggest that there is a flying saucer landed." Immediately after the two took a slash Steel L, and walking along the tracks of the tractor, he slipped in the field where they released their first circle. Planted the short end of the bar in the ground and, using it as a pivot, began to rotate, advancing on all fours, until, within forty minutes, got a circle of about nine feet in diameter. The first summer they did a dozen circles, and so did even the following summer, but nobody seemed to notice. In the late summer of 1979, were about to give up everything. They wanted to still groped once again in the summer of 1980, when they decided to make the circles where they could only be seen, that is, on the slopes of hills or near elevated roads. And so it was the rims were noticed and caught the attention of several experts who began to formulate their hypotheses more extraordinary. In 1988 the wheels were over 50, only 30 in 1989, well 232 in 1990 and 181 in 1991, the year when the hoax was revealed. Bower and Chorley were imitated by other jokers, which occasionally released circles in other countries. But it was more like imitations of sporadic. The home of the circles remains the UK, where this practice has continued and has become almost an art form like graffiti in his philosophy. One of the most prolific authors of circles, Jim Schnabel, even wrote a book about his career, "Art"; while in 1992 it was even held a contest in West Wycombe Bucks, for "creative circles" who can make the forms more intricate and amazing. For a group of artists / British pranksters (see: http://www.circlemakers.org) make drawings in the grain has actually become a profession! For this reason they are hired by companies because they realize unusual designs in order to advertise certain products. Other newspapers and television are sometimes asking them to produce designs: the impossible triangle shown here was made by Circlemakers 29 July 1999 on behalf of the Daily Mail. The experiment

Yet, until recently, hosts of ufologists were prepared to swear that no man could have achieved similar designs. Furthermore, they argued that even if possible, implement these designs would require a long time and finally, they said, any pranksters could not not leave a clear trace of their passage into the grain, since the ears grow very dense and it would seem impossible not to crush walking in the middle. For them, the most likely explanation was that extraterrestrial or alien spaceships landing traces, or messages that the aliens crop circle to communicate with us. Well, some time ago to CICAP we wanted to verify it in person with an opportunity given to us by the magazine Focus. As we are concerned to theory of the joke, friends of Focus have offered to sponsor the operation and to reimburse the owner of the field that would inevitably damage the crop. So we started looking around to find a suitable field and were Andrea Marino Franzosi and find it near Adria, Rovigo, thanks to the availability of the agricultural crop. Luigi Garlaschelli, who had already had this kind of experience creating a crop circle several years ago (ibid.), is concerned 'to procure the necessary equipment and coordinate the work.
First, it was made a drawing on paper the image that we wanted to achieve, then we set to work. The first thing you discover is that walking along the tracks left by the tractor in the fields you can in advancing without a trace. To realize the design is sufficient to plant a stake in the ground, a rope and tie you going in circles to mark the perimeter of the first circle (which measured about 20 meters). Then, with a rake go down the ears inside the circle: here, we found that the ears are not broken but bent meekly. For the lines connecting the circles, was sufficient to lower the tension the ropes and keeping ears close to the strings. Within an hour, we had finished our crop circle (see photo in black and white - the whole process is documented on the July 1999 issue of Focus).

There have been inevitable protests from the most fanatic ufologists because our design had some trimming here and there: the fact is that even if we had the chance (and should!) To achieve 40/50 drawings every summer, as do the British artists (some of them are even our friends), these small defects would disappear quickly. We did not want to show that certain all the circles that occur are like that, but what is certain is that we have demonstrated for the first time, even in Italy, two people, armed only with a rope, a peg and a rake could achieve , within an hour, a figure complessa come quelle che si vedono nei tanti libri di "misteri". Con buona pace di tutti coloro che continuano a ritenere l'impresa impossibile...

Le ultime affermazioni

Più recentemente, hanno avuto risonanza alcune affermazioni secondo cui i cerchi avrebbero presentato caratteristiche insolite, non presenti in quelli realizzati "artigianalmente" dagli scettici. In particolare, un fisico olandese, Eltjo Haseloff, avrebbe riscontrato anomalie nel campo magnetico e ritrovato ossido di ferro. Ancora una volta il mensile Focus ha voluto vederci chiaro e ha condotto un'indagine sul posto non appena si è avuta notizia della comparsa dei primi cerchi di grano in Inghilterra: sono così stati raccolti campioni poi inviati ai laboratories of the universities of Milan and Bologna. Objective: To repeat his comments from Haslehoff and another scholar, the biophysicist William Levengood. The research results were published in Focus No. 106: also examined in the circles were found particles of iron with silicon, manganese, aluminum and other elements, also spherical, but in a normal size. The radioactivity was not significant, even in some samples even below the normal threshold. And because the plants inside the circles had more vitality than the external ones? The reason is that plants bend trying to react and, moreover, receive more light stimulates flowering. Regarding seeds: they have been analyzed in Milan, and found no differences between those plants inside the circles than outside. And the famous bulges that Levengood found in plants affected by this phenomenon? Are also present in samples tested in Milan: the point is that these plants were "scrambled" probably from something mechanical.

In short, the crop circles are still a mystery? It 'been shown that you can redo them with little effort from everyone, and there are people who do it for pleasure craft and other and have shown many times, there were no significant differences between the circles made by hoaxers declared and carried out by "unknown"; research on the alleged anomalies can not be considered conclusive (because they have never been published in international journals of repute, such as Nature or Physical Review, but only marginal in bulletins) ... Despite this, there are still those who insist to accuse skeptics of narrowness. At this point, all evidence examined leads to the conclusion that the circles are only human work, those who argue the opposite, namely that their origin is paranormal, UFO or due to hitherto unknown natural phenomena, if it is to be believed must bring convincing evidence in support of its allegations.
