At around 11:30pm (Netherlands time) on the evening of December 17, 2009 I called my friend Robbert van den Broeke in Hoeven, and we talked until about 1:30 – 2:00 am (Netherlands time) about various things. Near the end of our conversation Robbert said he felt that some circles might be coming and I got the feeling that this was likely to occur before Christmas.
The next evening (Friday, Dec. 18th) at around midnight Robbert got a very strong feeling that a formation was arriving at the field not too far from his home which we call the “special” field (because so many anomalous events have occurred there over the years). He telephoned a local friend, Ellen Gomis, to ask if she would drive him to the field to see if a new circle was present, and Mrs. Gomis agreed. The temperature was about -10 degrees C and there was a 6-inch snow cover already on the ground.

They may not be evidence of UFOs, ancient spirits or secret weapons, but there is something magical in their allure.
When Doug Bower and his co-conspirator Dave Chorley first created a representation of a “flying saucer nest” in a wheat field in Wiltshire, England, in 1976, they could not have foreseen that their work would become a cultural phenomenon.
Almost as soon as crop circles became public knowledge, they attracted a gaggle of self-appointed experts. An efflorescence of mystical and magical thinking, scientific and pseudo-scientific research, conspiracy theories and general pandemonium broke out. The patterns stamped in fields were treated as a lens through which the initiated could witness the activity of earth energies and ancient spirits, the anguish of Mother Earth in the face of impending ecological doom, and evidence of secret weapons testing and, of course, aliens. Today, one of the more vigorously promoted ideas is that they are messages, buried in complex numerological codes, concerning a Great Change connected to the pre-Columbian Mayan calendar and due to occur in 2012.
To appreciate how these exotic responses arose, we need to delve a little into history. Before today’s circle-makers entered the picture, there had been scattered reports of odd patterns appearing in crops, ranging from 17th century pamphlets to an 1880 account in Nature to a letter from astronomer Patrick Moore printed in 1963 in New Scientist. In Australia, the mid- to late-1960s saw occasional reports of circles in crops, and they were often ascribed to UFO landings. At around the same time in England, the Wiltshire town of Warminster became a center of UFO-seeking “sky watches” and gave birth to its own rumors of crop circles, or “saucer nests.” None of these, unfortunately, was photographed.

I came across this and thought you may want to see it. Here are some visuals of the crop circles from this year’s crop circle season in the UK.
These images include all circles whether man-made or not.

They have started!
Yes it is now crop circle season again in the northern hemisphere and this year has kicked off with a bang!
Two mysterious circles appeared on ancient burial sites near Swindon, England. The first appeared on April 14th just outside Avebury, an ancient site of standing stones. At 120 ft it was quite a big one.
The second appeared on April 19th on the West Kennet long barrow, also an ancient burial site. This design was different as it contained a ‘pisces’ design inside it.
Both were found by crop circle hunter, Stuart Dike, 40.
“Both of these circles echo other formations which have appeared in previous years.
“Crop circles are mind-boggling things. I was awestruck by the size and beauty of these two crop circles.”
Across the ocean in Bedford County, Virginia, other crop circles have turned up on May 4th. Owner of the property, Ralph White, dismisses the possiblity of aliens. He does however call the phenomenon ‘unearthly’.
