WHAT ARE
CROP CIRCLES?
* A Black Swan is an event that lies outside the realm of
regular expectations and it carries an extreme impact.
(Nicholas N. Taleb)
27/7/2005,Avebury Manor, Wiltshire, Wheat, 300ft. approx.
here is no evidence of he possibiliy of large evens, i.e.,
Black Swans*. You are likely o confuse ha saemen, however,
paricularly if you do no pay close atenion, wih he saemen
ha here is evidence of no possible Black Swans Ten days
from now, if you manage o remember he firs saemen a all,
you will be likely o reain he second, inaccurae version ha
here is proof of no Black Swans.
One single observaion can invalidae a general saemen
derived from millennia of confirmaory sighings of whie swans.
All you need is one single black bird.

4.1. General Remarks
There have been many sudies on crop circles con-
duced in he pas hiry years for example, biophysical
sudies on plan and soil samples and on conrols; sudies
on radiaion; mahemaical and geomerical analyses of
designs in he fields, asronomical observaions, and
more. Since here exis many examples in lieraure and
documenary films abou such sudies, I will confine
myself here o only a brief overview. I will provide se-
veral examples of sudies and research, including he
work of he BLT Research Team (W.C. Levengood, Nancy
Talbot and he lae John Burke), some geomerical
analyses by Michael Glickman, he findings of Gerald
Hawkins and asronomical observaions by Jack Sullivan.
4.2. Biophysical and Radiation
Studies
Over he years, here have been many scienific sudies
invesigaing plan and soil samples from crop circles,
including he monioring of possible radioacive anoma-
lies.
- ADAS, UK, The Agricultural Development and Advi-
sory Service esed several crop formaions in 1995
and found, amongs oher anomalies, an increase in
he nirogen/nirae raio.
Afer he publicaion of hese resuls, he depar -
men of ADAS was closed down.

Crop formaions consis of geomerically organized regions
ranging from 2 o 80 m diameer, in which he plans (pri -
marily grain crops) are flatened in a horizonal posiion.
Plans from crop formaions display anaomical aleraions
which canno be accouned for by assuming he formaions
are hoaxes.

Introduction
Andy Thomas wries abou hoaxing in his book Vial
Signs:
Technically, a hoax is only a hoax when masquerading as
something known to be the real thing, and only a very few
formations have ever had their source indisputably proved (eye-
witness accounts of circles forming out of nowhere, or those
known beyond any doubt to be man-made).
In he pas years here have always been (a leas since
he Doug n Dave sory) people allegedly hoaxing crop
circles, or claiming o have hoaxed crop formaions.
Many, if no acually he majoriy of people believe
hese claims o be rue, which seems o me o be raher
surprising.
The reason: here has never been any subsanial evi-
dence o suppor hese claims.
There are no scienific sudies proving ha mos or all
crop circles are man-made, on he conrary: such scienific
sudies do show ha here is somehing very ineresing
and unexplained going on in he fields of Souhern Eng-
land and in oher pars of he world (see chaper A Brief
Overview of Sudies).
And: he CropWachUK Projec, iniiaed by Andrew
Buckley in 2009, wih he suppor of he UK Naional
Farmers Union and inpu from he local police auhoriies
reveals imporan findings (see chaper 5.4. Clearing he
Sigh: The Cropwach UK Projec).
And, as Andy Thomas wries: On paper, just drawing
some of the designs we have seen would take hours. Marking
elaborately huge configurations out in dark fields would require
many more, let alone then laying the crops down with the skill
observed. (A.Thomas, Vial Signs).
Regarding he lay and weaving found in crop circles,
Andy Thomas wries ha Experiments with rollers, planks
and feet have failed to reproduce this effect and, while sometimes
tidy, lack the graceful flow usually seen.
So how come ha hoax-claimans and debunkers have
such a big influence, so ha even long-sanding crop circle
researchers are influenced by hem?
There is no evidence for he claims. Jus saying: We
have done his crop circle las nigh!, or: I know who
has done his crop circle, bu have promised no o ell he
names! or o show a phoograph of people sanding in a
field wih a board, or fooage showing how people samp
plans in a field, is no evidence a all.

Hoaxing and Hoax-Claiming
an open case | 51
Or would you believe me, if I showed you a phoo-
graph of me sanding besides he Eiffel Tower in Paris,
wih a hammer and oher equipmen, and I hen old you
ha I consruced ha building?
Or showing broken plans and oher damage in forma-
ions and saying: Look is man-made, here are races
of people having been in i! canno sand as evidence for
he crop circle having been made by people. Because,
srangely enough, here are people going ino crop circles
a nigh desroying pars of hem or leaving boards and
oher hings here. These are incidens ha have acually
been observed.
Obviously many people seem o be very gullible. A
researcher wen ino a crop circle once and old he
people here, jus as an experimen, ha he had made his
formaion. They believed him insanly (of course he old
hem himself he ruh laer). However ineresingly, hey
did no ask he researcher for any evidence o suppor his
claims.
Why do hey accep hese claims so easily?
Could i be ha fear of he unknown is in mos of us
oo big o cope wih, and ha here is grea relief if we
can hold on o our world view when old ha here is
nohing srange going on, jus people flatening crop as
Doug n Dave said.
Therefore why does all his claiming and debunking
acually ake place?
Why do hese hoax-claimans and debunkers work so
hard creaing hese sories merely o convince ohers of
heir claims?
For example Mathew Williams on his Circlemakersv
goes o a grea deal of rouble o inerview hoax-claimans
and spread lies and disinformaion, wih ofen libellous
and defamaory remarks.
Anoher example is Andrew Pyrka informing everyone
ha all crop circles are man-made1 wihou providing any
evidence on his websies Repor a Crop Circle Formaion
(Facebook) and CropCircleWisdom.com.
He also is seen sanding in crop circles elling visiors
ha researchers now accep ha all crop circles are man-
made. This is raher srange, as if he is no longer ineres-
ed in he crop circles as a phenomenon, hen why no
leave he subjec alone?
Whaever he agendas of hese hoax-claimans are:
hey are very efficien in spreading heir claims and lies
and influencing many people.Could i be ha rumours abou people geting paid for
debunking crop circles, o keep he public uninformed, are
correc?
Is i hese people jus feel he need o sand ou from
he crowd and need o be he cenre of atenion?
Maybe hey need o le ou some aggression, as is ofen
seen wih some of hem, hreaening researchers for
example, or verbally atacking hem on a very primiive
level? (as examples see he YouTube films of Mathew
Williams atacking researchers as Michael Glickman,
Andy Thomas, Andrew Buckley and farmers, for example
Polly Carson).
However i could be ha hey are so afraid of some-
hing unknown ha hey have o persuade ohers ha
here is nohing unusual going on, jus o be able o calm
hemselves?
Will here be answers o hese quesions one day?
Alhough maybe he answers will no be so imporan
anymore when we jus look a wha is going on, wih
much discernmen and an open mind.
Then all hese claimans and debunkers, whaever
heir agendas may be, will surely lose much of heir
influence.

3.1. Some general remarks
We assume ha he role of he media is o inform he
public as objecively as possible abou evens, houghs,
heories ec. I is undersandable ha his is especially
difficul regarding a subjec so conroversial as he crop
circles.
As Michael Glickman once remarked: Would you like to
have been the journalist who had to write in a paper that the
earth is round?
All he same: scienific resuls of sudies compleed by
scienifically rained and qualified persons should find a
way ino he media-repors. Unforunaely his does no
happen or if i does, on very rare occasions, i is done
raher in a superficial way. I seems as if mos of he
media have biased views on his phenomenon and are
no ineresed in acually invesigaing he subjec.
Regretably, hey ofen missrepresan collaborae wih
hoax-claimans who have already been known o have
lied abou crop formaions. This resuls in false sories
ha are misleading o people who may be ineresed in
he opic.
There are many, many examples of such incidens. I
could fill a whole book on his subjec: on several
occasions Naional Geographic have been involved in
decepion (for example in he inciden in 2004; see Nancy
Talbots leter o Naional Geographic TVs Mr. Sydney
Suissa and Ber Janssens aricle, www.blresarch.com/
published/nageo_cropcircleshow.php and Sern-TV in
Germany in he year 2002 and ohers).
Here is he analysis of one such example:
3.2. Analysis of The Truth Behind
Crop Circles, a Film by Zig Zag
Productions and National
Geographic; Shown on n-tv,
January 2011
a) Information
In his film several aspecs of he crop circle pheno -
menon are alked abou. Also crop circle researcher Andy
Thomas has his say occasionally, and he circlemakers
(former Team Saan) are shown making a crop circle in
a field. Scieniss (no crop circle researchers) are iner-
viewed on he subjec.
3. The Role of the Media

5.1. In he Fog of Rumours
and Debunking
a) General remarks
In my opinion here is much misrus and confusion
in he crop circle scene, especially in he Unied Kingdom.
I even looks as if some sor of culminaion poin has
been reached in a developmen ha seems o have begun
in he year 1991 wih he Doug-n-Dave decepion sory.
Culminaion poins have one characerisic which could
be a consolaion: ha he direcion of he developmen
could change.
Of course, i could also be differen, maybe he develop-
men is going even more in he same direcion, he
culminaion poin no really having been achieved
already.
So we canno know if here really will be a change
soon, bu we can ry o be of help in a fruiful way in he
developmen of hings o come.
A he momen, and for a considerable ime, hoax-
claimans and debunkers seem o work feverishly
persuading as many people as possible of heir opinion
ha all crop circles are man-made.
Alhough here is no hard evidence for he claims of
hese individuals, hey are aken seriously by many
people.
Maybe i does no make much sense pondering oo
long on he quesion why hese people are doing his.
Bu I hink i is very imporan o look precisely a heir
behaviour and how hey proceed, in order o gain a
clearer picure of he siuaion.
In my opinion, over he pas few years, he siuaion
in he crop circle scene became more and more confused:
Hoax-claimans and debunkers seem o have gained
more influence year afer year, wih increasing suppor
from even some of he serious researchers.
This is raher difficul o undersand. I would be
easier o comprehend people who do no undersand a
grea deal abou crop circles o be aken in.
Rumours have probably always been a dominaing
aspec wihin he crop circle communiy.
The siuaion is hardly ransparen.
I hink a very helpful guideline in discerning honesy
and ruhfulness will be o look a how people behave
owards one anoher. To libel, atack and hreaen oher
people is cerainly no an indicaion of professional
5. Today's Situation in the Crop Circle Scene

behaviour, so I recommend ha he reader pay atenion
when cerain individuals behave in his manner.
Unbiased and maure communicaion wih people
showing differen viewpoins is of course a crucial feaurefor professional working researchers.
So, o make ones way hrough his fog of rumour,
hearsay and fighing i is imporan o look a he evi-
dence.
For example, if someone commens abou anoher
person one has o lisen wih much discernmen and look
if here is any evidence for he claim.
And of course one has o speak wih he person in
quesion, oo. I may all urn ou o be very differen frominformaion having obained indirecly (hearsay) and
maybe here are jus big misundersandings.
Many desrucive hings have been done in falsely
accusing hones persons and believing liars, or acceping
he esimony of ofen very gullible, bu oherwise friend-
ly people.
I hope ha in presening some examples of his be -
haviour I will be able o clear away some of he fog.
There would be much o ell, bu for he ime being a
few examples shall be sufficien.
More abou hoaxing, hoax-claiming, debunking and
unprofessional behaviour you find in
his par II) of my book, chaper 1: Hoaxing and Hoax-
Claiming and chaper 2: Unprofessional Behaviour.
A he momen (and for some years now), Mathew
Williams and Andrew Pyrka seem o have gained grea
influence in he crop circle scene. So in his chaper I will
concenrae on he wo of hem.
As hey boh chose o publically broadcas heir sae-
mens I menion hem by name.
b) Mathew Williams and CirclemakersTV
(please noe: episodes of CirclemakersTV are currenly
uploaded ono Mathew Williams websie: Truhseekers666)
Hoax-claiman Mathew Williams is he creaor and
presener of CirclemakersTV. Some of he people who
paricipae in he show are ofen presened in an abusive
and occasionally defamaory manner, paricularly if hey
do no suppor his views on crop circles.
He frequenly makes saemens wihou providing
any hard evidence.
The idea, ha all crop circles are man-made seems
really o have become an ideology for some people: nooher viewpoin is acceped, and people who do see hings
differenly are being atacked.
Mathew Williams ofen resors o expleives as fuck
his and ha in his communicaion.
He has familiar arges, for example, Michael Glickman,
W.C. Levengood, Lucy Pringle, Linda Moulon-Howe
and Andrew Buckley. Ineresingly, many of his vicims
have scienific and/or professional backgrounds wih
degree saus from recognised universiies.
Examples of saemens made by Mathew Williams:
Truhseekers 666, 16/5/2010 (regarding an episode on
he Hisory Channel abou crop circles)
They don menion anyhing abou circlemakers apar
from Doug and Dave, is like a couple of blokes couldn do i,
yeah, bollocks, yeah i has o be conneced wih aliens, i has o
be conneced wih, you know, mysical suff and suff from
spaceSuzanne Taylor was on here, you are no going o ge
any balance here, and here was Linda Moulon Howe, and
ha was i hey even didn boher o speak abou he
circlemakers.. hey even didn boher o do any real research
by he looks of i
The big problem I have wih heir program is ha hey
brough up, ye again Levengoods research. And hey have
said ha is research is from he Dr. Levengood, so one has o
wonder why, when as you know, Linda Moulon Howe,
fairplay, and I believe Suzanne Taylor, do acually refer o

Michael Glickman
I know here are man-made circles
and hey are errible, hey are roten,
and i so depresses me, ha people do
no have he discernmen o under-sand.
Is like we offer hem a five course
dinner in Lyon in a five sar Michelin
resauran and hey say, no, no, no we
wan a Big Mac, we prefer ha, or a
Kenucky Fried Chicken.
And his is mad. They say, oh
here is no difference, really. Is he
same.I find his he mos bleakly, depres-
sing hing abou my dear and beloved
fellow human beings, ha hey canno
use heir eyes, canno do i, hey canno
disinguish a miracle from a piece of
shi.
This is depressing.
Why do you think there
are so few people really
interested in this
phenomenon? Mostly they
just laugh compassionately.
Well, why did so few people believe
he earh migh be round?
Why did so few people believe ha
heavier han air machines migh fly?
Why did so few people believe ha
women had souls?
Because we wan oday like yeser-
day and omorrow like oday. And if
someone comes and shakes he boa
we hrow hem ou. And crop circles
are rocking he boa.
And so, crop circles, hey are man-
made, I can go o sleep now and I can
worry abou my new moorcar, and
he elevision program, and my mor-gage. Humaniy bless hem.
What do you think about the
media, how they behave
towards crop circles?
I is he same. I mean, a lo of people
say: Oh here is a conspiracy. There
is no conspiracy. The media are lockedinescapably ino elling he public
wha he public is comforable o hear.
Simple as ha.
I mean: Would you like o be edior
of a newspaper ha firs had o say:
The earh is round!? He would have
been killed.
So hey will never give you he real
news, hey give us wha we expec.
Can you imagine now a newspa-
per, prining a headline saying crop
circles canno be produced by man.
Can you imagine ha?
Not really, no. Would you
like to say what you think
about the crop circles so far
from this year? (July 2010)
I hink hey are wonderful. I hink
hey are absoluely wonderful.
They are enormous and giganic
and complex.
And he hing is his: he design
qualiies are so suble and enigmaic,
mulilayered and complex, ha every
single one of hese formaions is a
maserclass in design and geomery.
There are people who say,
for example, the Milk Hill
is a hoax, because some
geometry doesnt match.
Look, I don wan o alk abou his,
because I have wased weny years,
alking abou his.
And here is he ruh. In 1992 I said:
Everyhing you hear abou a hoax is
a lie. I is rue! There is always some-
one around saying: Oh is a hoax, a
hoax. There is never evidence.
I mean I saw some of he deails of
he Windmill Hill formaion, he litle
ness and he spiders webs.
You would need o bring Belgian
lace-making nuns o do his. Or litle
children from Kandahar, who make
carpes. These hings were so delicae.
Each ime somebody says oh is
man-made, hey are no alking abou
he real exernal mechanical world or
abou evidence.
Wha hey say is: I am go o give
you a window o look ino my fear,
my inabiliy o ake his in.
So when anybody alks abou man-
made hey are alking abou heir own
insecuriy. There is never evidence.

The angels play on their horns all day,The whole earth in progression seems to pass by.But does anyone hear the music they play,Does anyone even try?
(Bob Dylan, Three Angels, in: Writings and Drawings,
Panter Books 1974)
the lines in the Angels robe alternated between outward and inword sweeps in a continuous line that was over four thousand
feet long
These lines were about six inches wide and looked as though they had been rolled by a magically controlled ball that ran unerringly
straight through the wheat and left the sides of the channel swept upword.
