All language subtitles for Earth Signs from Above Series 1 1of3 Crop Circles A Modern Mystery 810p

[MUSIC PLAYING]

>> No, no.

This is legal.

Holy shit.

>> Each and every year, strange
signs miraculously appear

overnight in fields of crops.

Most of them occur in England,
close to the mysterious zone

of Stonehenge.

This unexplained phenomena is
widely known as crop circles.

We cannot deny their existence.

They are real.

>> Who's doing it?

Why?

Where from?

What do they want to tell us?

>> Aliens.

I don't know.

>> Since the 1970s,
enthusiasts, journalists,

and independent researchers
have tried to crack the mystery

of these strange imprints that
are best viewed from above.

>> Something amazing
is happening,

and we don't really
know what it is.

>> [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

>> We don't know
where they come from.

We could believe
all sorts of things,

or even assume it's reality.

We don't know what it is.

>> Signs from nature,
alien messages, a hoax,

paranormal activity, or
the results of unexplained

meteorological or
physical phenomena.

>> There's this hole.

You know, this whole
multidimensional reality

happening right next to
us now, and we're just not

tuned into it.

>> Something really
weird is going on here.

>> Few scientists have explored
the mystery of crop circles,

possibly through fear
of ruining their career.

However, many
independent researchers

are trying to reveal the secret.

And despite all of
today's modern technology,

the enigma behind the
crop circles phenomena

remains a modern mystery.

Or does it?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Known as crop circles due to
their spectacular geometric

patterns that are often
but not always circular,

they seem to appear
for no reason

and without eyewitnesses
in fields of crops.

They can appear to be quite
simple or staggeringly

large and sophisticated.

Most of them appear
during the summer months

before harvesting.

Southern England in the
region of Wiltshire,

a triangle between the
villages of Avebury, Devizes,

and Pewsey, is
recognized as being

the core of the phenomena.

Welcome to the sacred zone
of Neolithic mysteries,

close to Stonehenge
and Silbury Hill

where many rites and
superstitions were born.

[CAMERA CLICKING]

>> [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

>> There are not many places
where you can see that someone

intelligent has been drawing
in large format for free

in the heart of nature
since several centuries.

>> Philippe Ullens was forced
to jostle his life priorities 15

years ago when serious health
problems almost cost him his

life.

He resigned from his life in
the heart of Parisian business

skyscrapers to fully live
his passion for crop circles.

Today he lives in Avebury,
and spends his time

photographing and
exploring the phenomena.

He is well aware that the best
way to see them is from above.

>> [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

>> If you're lucky enough
to see them from above,

they're stunning.

There really impressive, and
somehow reach out to you.

I don't know of any other
phenomena that repeats itself

each year in such a massive
way than here in Avebury.

It's so beautiful.

>> [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

>> We know that crop circles
are not a recent event.

Therefore, not some kind
of secret weapon from God

knows who.

Neither modern or
technological, they're ancient.

Crop circles could well be
today's contemporary echo

to the vast, esoteric, and
mystical legacy of England.

They remind us of
ancient times when

stone circles, sacred
places, and legends

were at the heart
of people's beliefs.

One clue comes from the past.

Two historic lines
of energy are said

to stretch across the aisles,
one running north-south,

the other east-west.

Where the two
lines cross happens

to be at the heart of
the crop circle zone,

passing just a few meters
from some of England's most

historic sites.

>> [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

>> This is the
village of Avebury.

We're not sure how
old the village

is, but over 5,000 years.

And this circle appeared
on the 1st of August, 2012.

Every year, over 150 crop
circles appear worldwide.

>> Most of them
appear in England,

but they can also be seen
in Germany, Holland, Italy,

France, and as far as America,
Canada, and Australia.

They all share one particular
point, their perfect geometry.

>> [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

>> It's sacred geometry.

They're mandalas.

It's a language that's
as old as the universe,

and it's used here in Europe
since the dawn of time,

because many of these figures
are inspired by the Celts.

>> Whatever the origins
of crop circles,

their fascination is undeniable.

Millions of tourists flock
to Wiltshire every year

in the hope to see and
understand the mystery.

Some in search of a
rational explanation, others

in a quest for spirituality.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[CHANTING]

>> Just measuring the sort
of electromagnetic field

of the crop circle, really.

>> Well, electromagnetics.

>> Well, see, the
magnetics, yeah,

that the area's giving out.

>> What's that gone?

So that's a four.

Over there where Kelly is,
it was registering at a six.

Up there, it's at five, so
it's at different levels.

That's quite high.

This is a very
geomagnetic active area,

so you kind of have to
take background readings

of the natural area to
make sure you're not just

sitting on a bit of a
geoelectric magnetic hotspot.

>> How does that feel?

>> My heart was
going a bit erratic.

Going faster.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

>> Pulsations, electromagnetic
vibrations, energy,

sensation of well-being.

There does seem to be
a crop circle effect.

The energetic and mystical
power of crop circles

has always fascinated visitors.

An article from 1678
reads, "No mortal man

was able to do the like."

>> They didn't know who did it,
so they said it was the work

of the devil.

>> Each era seems to have
its answers on the phenomena.

During the Second World War,
several Luftwaffe pilots

sighted crop circles in Germany.

>> [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

>> The Germans thought
the English made them,

that the crop circles on
German soil were coded message

for the British Air Force.

>> [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

>> We do have a very rational
way of looking at the world

around us, our universe.

You seem to believe that they
can only be made by humans.

We always seek out
a rational answer,

but what was logical during
the war was not at all logical.

For them, it was common sense.

[BEEPING]

>> [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

>> When we asked local
farmers about crop circles,

even the elderly recall seeing
them when they were kids.

England was marked by a boom
of crop circles in the 1990s.

Some farmers took advantage
of the attraction.

Tim Carson says he's had over
120 crop circles mysteriously

appearing on his land.

>> In 1990, you know, we sold
t-shirts and key rings and did

helicopter rides.

And we had, I don't
know, 20,000, 30,000,

40,000 people come, because
it was the first time anything

like that had occurred.

And then for the few years
after, we allowed people in

and charged people to come in.

We were getting so many and
we were putting money boxes

out in the field, honesty
boxes, but people just

used to break into them.

And so I said, that's enough.

Enough's enough.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

>> In the long term, the farmers
got tired of so many tourists

who would add to the damage
by crushing the stems with

their feet, walking
straight through fields.

The crops are the farmers'
principal source of income,

and the damage is estimated
between 700 and 1,400 euros

per crop circle.

[HELICOPTER WHIRRING]

>> I was working on the farm,
and I heard this helicopter.

And 20 minutes later, it was
still hovering over this field

and circling,
circling, circling.

And I was standing, thinking,
what the hell are they doing?

>> It is hard to find most
crop circles at ground level.

To help guide hunters who
do not have a helicopter,

they are regularly tracked
down and published on the web.

Mobile applications geolocalize
them on a daily basis,

to the farmers' despair.

>> I got in the car
and drove up here,

and the helicopter sort
of soon disappeared.

And when I arrived, there
were two-- two women

were walking out of the field.

I said, excuse me.

This is private property.

What are you doing?

And they said, you've
got a crop circle.

And I was very concerned
having heard it

had gone viral on the internet.

I phoned the local
police station and said,

you know, I've got
a problem here.

>> The fact is, most of the crop
circles materialize on private

property.

While the farmers do all they
can to hide their position,

the tourists do all they
can to track them down.

Two places at each end of the
southern line of the triangle

attract visitors in search
of new crop circles.

One in the countryside,
the other in town.

In the town of Devizes, crop
circles can only recently

be seen at the local museum.

It's the first time since
the early apparitions

of crop circles in
England in the late 1960s

that the public establishment
is holding an exhibition,

and thus recognizes
their historic heritage.

Monique Klinkenbergh, an
independent researcher,

is in charge of the
exhibition, a collection

of aerial photographs that
question the neighborhood.

>> The locals heard
about crop circles,

but they are not aware
of the visual impact.

And also the farmers, they
see on the ground something

happened, but it looks
like a mess normally.

And when they see the pictures,
they are really like, wow.

Is this in our backyard?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

>> For many people, they just
love them because it's a piece

of art or because it seems to
draw lots of people together.

It's a social event.

>> 20 kilometers east of the
museum along the Pewsey Canal,

a container at the rear of the
Barge Inn is the place to be

for the latest news and
information available for crop

hunters.

>> Where this turning is
here, it'd be [INAUDIBLE],,

it's just before that on the
left if you are coming down.

And there's a little
side in the hedge.

>> Charles Mallett has
been studying the mystery

for the past 18 years, and
shares his up-to-date knowledge

with the crop hunter community.

>> People rely on other
people for their information.

And obviously, sometimes
that's bad information,

but they'll take it anyway.

The vast majority
of those people

are wondering about without
any much sense of direction

because the circles
are generally

in pretty obscure locations.

And if you didn't
know this landscape,

then you just don't
know where they are.

So I opened a cafe,
put a map on the wall,

and within days, we
were swamped with people

from all over the world,
and it was like a madhouse.

Someone's flying right
now, actually, just to see

if they can see any new ones.

[HELICOPTER WHIRRING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

>> It's a race against
time for Monique.

She has just been called
by someone in her network.

A new crop formation
has been discovered.

Her goal is to be the
first person on site

in order to investigate.

>> Oh, this man is
driving so slow.

We are on our way to a farmer.

We just heard there is a
crop circle on his field.

And we do hope that
we get his permission

to examine and
explore the formation,

and also if he would be
willing to allow public access.

>> Monique hopes to find out
if the new formation is made

by humans or a
mysterious phenomena.

>> The biggest problem is now,
will he mow it out straight

away?

But I know who the
farmer is, and I

think he will be willing to at
least allow some researchers

into his field.

But I don't think he
will allow public access.

Lucky shot.

>> What?

>> It's the farmer,
standing there.

>> Monique Klinkenbergh
is anxious.

She desperately needs
Tim's permission

in order to enter his property.

>> Can I have your permission
to have a look at your grounds?

>> Yeah.

Which field, though, was it?

>> Well, it's about here.

>> Yeah.

Well, there's one up in there.

>> OK.

So you were aware
there was something.

>> Yeah.

>> Really?

[LAUGH]

Why didn't you phone me?

>> Well, I thought
everybody knows.

>> No.

>> Oh.

Well, it's not on
the website yet--

>> No, no, no.

>> --which is a good job.

>> No, we--

>> You can just go up there.

>> OK.

>> But the gamekeeper
might chase you out.

>> OK.

As long as I have your
permission and I'm not shot.

>> Yeah.

Well, good luck.

>> Today, Tim is exhausted by
crop circles that take up too

much of his time and money.

He's convinced there's nothing
mysterious about crop circles.

For him, they are all
made by human beings.

>> He's pissed off, yes.

He doesn't want any
formation on his field.

He's just had enough after--

what is it?

25 years of crop circles.

And yeah, he just cuts them out.

>> How do you feel about that?

>> Well, I can understand
farmers, but of course,

as a researcher, my heart breaks
because the research is gone.

[GATE SQUEAKING]

>> Monique wants to see the new
formation before Tim cuts it

out in order to understand if
it is made by humans or a true

mystery.

>> Is that legal or trespassing?

>> No, no.

This is legal.

>> With the farmer's approval,
Monique joins her team already

on site.

>> Holy shit.

Yeah.

I think it's fantastic
you spotted it.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

>> The team want to be
the first people on site,

just like at a crime scene, in
order to collect clues, tracks,

and any information that might
help reveal the mystery of crop

circles.

>> It's always a surprise, what
you will see on the ground.

And it's so lovely that it's
on such a beautiful location,

and nobody's here except us.

>> It seems that Monique and
her team are the first to enter

the field, but what
are they looking for?

>> We're looking for
facts, for evidence, and--

oh, wow.

OK.

It looks like a kind of
woven thing, [INAUDIBLE]..

Oh, it looks nice.

If it's man-made,
you clearly see

repeating crushes on the
stems, which we don't see now.

>> Monique has the feeling this
crop circle is not man-made.

The drone will help the team
get an overall aerial view

of the design.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

The result is
absolutely breathtaking.

They will film the formation
and archive the images

for a future exhibition
at the local museum.

Suddenly, Monique is
worried as the gamekeeper

appears in the distance, and
he doesn't seem to be happy.

>> Wait.

We have permission [INAUDIBLE].

>> How did you get here?

>> Through where you came.

Yes, [INAUDIBLE].

[DOG GROANING]

>> It's vandalism.

End of story.

But if it's being done by
outer space, that's different.

>> Outer space.

>> Whatever.

Aliens.

I don't know.

Some of them are very clever.

Not this one.

>> Well, the center looks good.

>> That's the first one I've
ever been in, and I've been

here 25 years.

>> Monique is glad she asked
permission from the farmer.

Gamekeepers have been known to
fire a shot in the air to scare

away unauthorized intruders.

>> How would you like it
if I went into your garden,

trashed the place of your prized
crop, take photographs of it,

film it from the air,
make money out of it,

and not offer you any
compensation at all?

I think it's unbelievably
rude, and there is technically,

if I had done it to your garden,
they would call the police.

It's criminal damage.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

>> The farmers came up
with a radical approach

to the problem, destroying the
crop circles as soon as they

were discovered, ruining
the pattern, and therefore,

avoiding further damage to their
crops by the feet of wary crop

hunters.

>> It does piss me off, because
why do they speak to me?

You know, if it is aliens
doing it, that's fine.

I'm not convinced it is at all.

Is a tourist attraction.

There must be money
in this somewhere.

Somebody's doing
it for a reason.

It must be highly organized.

>> A lot of people would have
those vandalists removed from

the scene, and that
the truth comes back.

>> What is the truth?

>> Well, something
we don't know.

A mystery unexplainable.

I don't know.

Nobody knows so far.

>> If the mystery remains
for many crop seekers,

for most farmers
and gamekeepers,

it's all a massive hoax.

The first British scandal
breaks out in 1991.

Doug and Dave, two retirees,
speak to the press.

They claim that over
the past 15 years,

they created more
than 100 crop circles.

The English are in shock.

Are Doug and Dave
telling the truth,

or is it all a pack of lies?

>> [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

>> The two old folks claimed to
have made hundreds until a true

crop circle appeared
right next to them.

They stopped because
they were terrified.

>> [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

>> We saw these so-called
crop makers make their speech,

saying how they were
retiring and therefore,

there would be no crop
circles the next year.

Well, we've never seen so
many crop circles here before,

and they're all
absolutely stunning.

>> People have been making
crop circles for TV commercials

for years and years, and
promotional advertising,

whatever.

But we examine this, of course.

And we see it in nature and
the pattern of damage produced

by people who take
that information,

that data to any given circle,
like this one for instance.

And if we see the similar
patterns of damage,

you know, a man
with a plank of wood

going crunch, crunch,
crunch, crunch over plants

leave us a very particular
pattern of damage.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

>> A team of three accepted
to create a crop circle

exclusively for our cameras.

You will not see their faces, as
they wish to remain anonymous.

In this barley field,
the final result,

a circle 50 meters in
diameter, is highly convincing.

Our cameras testify that humans
can produce sophisticated crop

circles with just a few planks
of wood and a bit of string.

But it took eight
hours for our trio

to make it in ideal conditions
and in broad daylight.

How can this help explain
certain crop circles

that appear in just a few
hours, in the dark of the night,

without leaving footprints?

>> I know that they do go in and
they make a mess in the field.

What's that got to do with
the crop circle phenomenon?

They stamp crop down.

[SNORT]

>> Michael Glickman qualifies
himself as architect, engineer,

inventor, and teacher.

He has been studying
crop circles

for over a quarter of a century.

>> You can't do anything without
leaving dust, marks, clues,

trails.

>> The big question is, is
it real or is it a hoax?

It can be reasonably said
that the vast majority

of these patterns
are clearly man-made.

The evidence is on the ground
to demonstrate and prove that.

It gets muddy.

It gets messy.

You can imagine what
10 men wandering

about in a field for
five or six hours

are going to do
in a limited area.

There's a residual element--

5%-- 3%, 4%, 5%, 10%--

no one can be fully sure--

that defy rational explanation.

>> If most researchers agree
that 90% are created by humans,

who makes the others, and how?

>> [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

>> It's an intelligent phenomena
that exceeds our comprehension.

Crop circles always
appear behind our backs.

>> This exists from elsewhere.

I have no way of
understanding it.

>> [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

>> We want a specialist
who can tell us,

that's a real one
made by aliens,

or that's a hoax
created by humans.

>> On the morning of
11th August, 1996,

a young crop hunter claims to
have filmed several strange

lights close to Olivers Castle.

On his video, we can
clearly see two balls

of light flying above a field.

As if by miracle, a crop circle
appears just beneath them.

The footage created doubt.

True or false?

But the video is not
the only evidence.

Several witnesses claimed
to have seen such lights.

>> [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

>> I've taken
several photographs,

and I only see the lights
when I get back to the studio.

>> What is this strange
appearance in the center

of the photograph that Philippe
did not see with the naked eye?

>> [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

I think this is a very clear
sign of a form of intelligence

that is not from our planet.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

If such balls of light remain
invisible to the naked eye

during the daytime,
at night, many people

claim to have witnessed
similar paranormal appearances

over the landscapes
of Wiltshire.

Equipped with night
vision cameras,

a Mexican television team
are making a special program

that is broadcast live.

They intend to
record the phenomena.

>> [SPEAKING SPANISH]

Everything is ready.

We just need our
special guests, UFOs.

>> [SPEAKING SPANISH]

>> Why are we here?

Because we have the intention
to record on video what so many

people have seen.

Strange lights
flying above fields

where crop circles appear.

>> [SPEAKING SPANISH]

>> We call them balls of light.

Everybody dreams here,
imagines so many things.

We have to be as rational
as possible, not dream.

>> On the other side of
the planet in Mexico,

millions of viewers are on
watch in the hope that Fernando

and his team will record
the ultimate image,

an unidentified flying object.

>> [SPEAKING SPANISH]

>> Well, we didn't film any
mysterious lights, UFOs,

or the making of a crop circle.

>> Despite their deception, the
Mexican team say they have felt

out-of-the-ordinary
sensations since their landing

in Wiltshire.

>> [SPEAKING SPANISH]

>> Crop circles work.

When you visit them,
you feel good inside.

Happy.

I don't know why.

>> Not long after the
Mexican team leave the site,

several strange lights appear
on the horizon with varying

intensity.

>> [SPEAKING SPANISH]

>> Wow.

What is that thing?

Wait.

Get your head out of the way.

Move to the right.

Get out of the way!

>> Our cameraman captures
one of them on camera.

The lens is zoomed
close and tight.

In the distance, a
shimmering ball of light.

Here is a closer look at the
same shot, blown up 500%.

>> I was set in a formation
around about midnight.

Some kind of envelope,
some feeling of electricity

or whatever it was
like an envelope

comes down over that
position where I was.

And suddenly, I couldn't hear
any of the animals or crickets.

Everything went dead
still, dead quiet.

And then this orb of light
appeared in front of me.

Not an alien spaceship,
but something

that had tuned into our reality.

And it wasn't super bright.

It was like a
translucent orb, almost--

I could almost see
through it, in fact.

>> [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

>> I heard a surprising sound.

One afternoon, I
was in a field when

I heard a multidimensional
sound in the sky.

Two friends were with me at
the time and heard it too.

Like loudspeakers
turning in the air

with varying volumes
and frequencies,

a sound impossible
for me to explain.

>> The air was vibrating in
my face, and it was like,

bloody hell.

And this was on a windy hilltop.

I was well awake.

And it was like an
object or some kind

that was invisible, but
thumping like a loud heartbeat.

It must have been, like,
this far from my face,

and it was like standing in
front of like a Hi-Fi speaker,

you know?

Like, in a club or something.

[THRUM]

Like, what is that?

It moves around me like 180
degrees, from front to back,

and then stopped, and just
blinked out, and that was it.

>> [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

>> This means there
is an energy vortex.

We don't know where it comes
from, but it definitely exists.

[HIGH-PITCHED NOTE]

>> Nikola Tesla,
a famous engineer,

once said that we should
think of the universe as being

a vortex.

Energy, vibrations,
and frequencies.

To illustrate this, a
little salt on a board

is placed near a loudspeaker.

Under varying sound
frequencies and volumes,

the salt forms perfect
geometric patterns that

change as do the frequencies.

[HIGH-PITCHED NOTES]

Could this science,
called cymatics,

help reveal some of the
truth behind the creation

of crop circles?

Mysteriously, nobody has
managed to record such sounds

from the balls of light.

If there is no recorded
evidence of sound,

some farmers have clearly
identified visual clues

in their crops.

>> It's not like me to normally
say that there's something

weird and wonderful going on,
because I like to take a fairly

pragmatic and scientific
view of most things.

But some of them are
certainly man-made.

I think most of them
are certainly man-made.

But there are one or two
which I can't explain.

One was where the crop was
lying perhaps 30 centimeters

off the ground.

And it was as if the
stems of the wheat

had been steamed over.

It grew normally
until the day before.

Then overnight, it
seemed to undergo

some really peculiar change.

What I noticed in
the field in Pewsey

were we had what I would
call a ghost circle.

The crop grew horizontally
up until the first node.

And there, it bent at
an angle of 45 degrees,

right on the node.

And you can see how
difficult it is for me

to make it bend on the node.

And then when it got
to the second node,

it bent again at 45 degrees.

And the result of that is
that the crop in the circle

was lower than the main crop
by about 15 centimeters.

So you had a very distinct
circle, 15 centimeters lower

than the rest of the crop,
although the circle was still

standing corn.

Now I can't explain
how that happened.

I certainly can't explain
how it happened overnight.

But I'm pretty sure it can't
be done by the man or machine

or any kind of animal.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

>> For Charles Mallett, the
wheat has been forced to bend

over by invisible energies.

>> So we have
fully mature wheat.

The plants are dead and the
seed heads curl down and become

rigid in this position.

If I am a hoaxer, I come up--

if I want to make a hoax club
circle, however good I am,

I'm still going to leave the
plants in this condition.

My point is in genuine crops
circles, in fully mature wheat,

these seed heads appear to
straighten themselves out all

through the lead crop, and
it's something that cannot be

produced physically,
mechanically,

by a man with a plank of wood.

It's suggesting to me that some
kind of an energetic process

has happened there to
cause those plants to lay

down and then straighten
them all out as if water

has flown through.

In laboratory testing,
it's being evaluated.

The principal effect
on the plants,

which caused them to
lay down, was some form

of a microwave-type
radiation hitting

the plans in very rapid bursts,
causing some degree of heating.

It just brings the plants down.

And it seems that there are
residual biological effects,

and that includes some effects
on the capacity for the seeds

to germinate much faster.

What is this mysterious
microwave radiation

that Charles Mallett speaks of?

Could it be a beneficial
source of energy?

>> My dog normally runs around
and goes hunting and chases

rabbits, and does
all sorts of things.

But here, she just lies
very quietly and sleeps.

But there is a nice energy here.

There is definitely, because
it is a beautiful place.

>> For many visitors, there
is a mystical source of energy

in the crop circles.

In some way, it affects
the blood system.

When in contact
with the formation,

white areas can be
observed on the skin.

When removing the
hands, they disappear.

>> And there's nothing
there now at all.

>> No.

Strange, isn't it?

>> Yeah.

>> It's like
reverse chicken pox.

>> It is, isn't it?

Yeah.

[LAUGH]

>> Well, there's something
emanating from the plants

that's affecting the
microcirculation in your hands.

>> Look at that.

[INAUDIBLE]?

>> Well, it's the whole hands.

>> Yeah.

>> See?

>> Yeah.

>> And if you stand
back, then watch them.

Watch them just fill
up with blood again.

>> Wow.

>> I don't know why.

>> Interesting.

[LAUGHTER]

>> That was a good one.

I like it.

>> But it's something physical.

>> Yeah.

[INTERPOSING VOICES]

>> It's instant.

Yeah.

And you can see, you
know, Chrissy's hands,

when she stood back up, just
filled back up with blood.

>> Cool.

>> Very interesting.

[LAUGHTER]

>> They're talking to us.

We need to have some
form of communication

coming back and forth.

And I think we have to just
listen, and always listen.

I think that's kind of the key.

But we really don't know
until they maybe actually come

down and tell us.

[LAUGH]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

>> There is no message
in this communication.

A message is when you ring
home and tell your wife

to switch the oven off.

And the communication
is when you

go home and stroke her hair.

And this is communication.

We're having our hair stroked.

But in our culture, we want--

[CLAP]

--a message.

Who's doing it?

Why?

Where from?

What do they want to tell us?

And we don't realize that
they're just stroking our hair.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

>> Francine and Patrice are
guides to a group of French

tourists, convinced there is
a message to be understood.

>> [SPEAKING FRENCH]

>> I have a group of visitors
who want to see crop circles

for themselves.

The first thing
that surprises them

is the sheer size
of the formations.

You can't tell from a photo
just how huge they are.

>> [SPEAKING FRENCH]

>> It's such a beautiful crop
circle with a magnificent

symbol of a five-pointed star.

I could never
create such a piece.

It's woven in one
direction, woven

in the opposite direction,
bent one over another

to create a star that we can't
really see from the ground.

It's remarkable.

Everything is merged
together with such precision.

I'm always amazed to see such
perfection in these drawings.

>> [SPEAKING FRENCH]

>> We are five-pointed stars.

Two arms, two legs, and a head.

That makes a star.

There are all
kinds of traditions

about the five-pointed star.

It's a very ancient symbol that
contains so much information.

The human aspect, masculinity,
the pentagon, femininity,

the pentagram, et cetera.

So It opens a whole
chapter on symbols.

But you need the basics to
understand and recognize

the different symbols.

>> This was not a couple
of concentric rings.

This had some
attention paid to it.

If you center on that position
and draw seven circles which

precisely kiss each other,
which is pretty hard to do,

that circle divides
the outer orbit ring,

and it divides the inner
[INAUDIBLE] circle.

Now that is a level of
competency and skill

and geometric mastery.

The circle is a symbol of
God, of Heaven, all that

is, divinity, spirituality.

It is a symbolic gesture
of a reconciliation

between the Earth and Heaven.

>> For Michael Glickman, crop
circles always refer to ideas,

schemas, mathematical formulas,
pi, the golden section,

complex geometric
theories such as Euclid.

>> And we're too dumb
to fully understand it.

>> [SPEAKING FRENCH]

>> You have to get
higher to see it.

It's very symbolic.

To get a view of
anything, you really

have to rise above it,
open up your awareness.

>> Rise above.

The key words often
pronounced by crop hunters,

both spiritually and physically.

[HELICOPTER WHIRRING]

Each tourist will take off for
a personal 20-minute flight

over Wiltshire for a bird's eye
view of the latest formations.

>> [SPEAKING FRENCH]

>> Our group is living
a true moment of bliss.

We share love and
good vibrations.

It's a whole
different experience

than a regular group
excursion where

you run around looking
at must-see stuff.

Here we leave in the
morning without knowing

what we're going to see.

We have ceremonies that are
really profound, sacred,

and interesting.

These mysteries go far beyond
us and connect us to our hearts.

>> Wow.

[LAUGH]

Whoo!

>> Oh, wow!

What a landing.

That was great.

>> [SPEAKING FRENCH]

>> Why doesn't it last longer?

[LAUGH]

OK, thank you.

>> OK.

Merci beaucoup.

>> [SPEAKING FRENCH]

>> There are people that can
connect to this phenomena,

maybe with aliens, our brothers
and sisters from the stars,

to whom I say hello.

[LAUGH]

Who are probably making
these crop circles.

>> [INAUDIBLE] approaching
from the [INAUDIBLE]..

>> Roger.

I have you in sight.

[INAUDIBLE] and then
just land on two six.

>> The first flight to return
creates an excitement amongst

the group.

>> [SPEAKING FRENCH]

There was a small one in
the corner of a field.

The pilot said he had
not seen it before.

It had only just appeared.

>> We fly till 7:00, 8
o'clock in the evening.

And then the next
morning we're flying,

and the crop formation's there.

So I don't know how it happens.

And you've probably got
five hours of darkness

in the summer,
five or six hours.

So it's just amazing.

Yeah, the long
barrow, he just said.

>> Oh, it's the long barrow.

>> The long barrow
southeast, the long barrow.

>> [SPEAKING FRENCH]

>> Yes, I've seen the new one.

It's beautiful.

>> Do you want to know
where the new one is?

>> Yes.

>> I'll show you on this map.

You have a map?

>> The new one this morning?

>> Yeah, yeah.

It's just here.

>> OK.

>> Did you know
about them, Francine?

>> I don't know
where I am, though.

Where is it?

>> Let me show you.

>> On that morning, the French
group discovered a small crop

circle that had not
been reported before.

It is situated close
to a larger formation.

A certain proximity
between two crop circles

seems to occur regularly.

>> It is a mystery to us,
because I'm flying every day,

and we've never seen
anybody making them.

And I know they've had
people out at night, trying

to find people making them, but
they've never found them, never

caught anybody.

So it's difficult, isn't it?

How it happens, I don't know.

I really don't.

>> Questioned by
Phillipe Ullens,

some geologists have compared
the force of a crop circle

to that of lightning.

>> [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

>> In a way, it's like someone
was drawing with lightning.

I once spoke to a
farmer who said it often

takes 10 years for all
trace of a crop circle

to disappear because the impact
of the energy on the soil

is just so powerful.

>> Another mysterious happening
appeared on our screens during

the film shoot of
the harvesting.

After the combine harvester
had cut the crops,

curious rectangular tracks
were left on the ground.

>> I've never seen it before.

And I've seen a few
of this kind of film.

This is part of the inherent
crop circle mystery in my view.

And I've only been
involved with this

for a quarter of a
century, so what do I know?

>> [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

>> To accept that we
don't know is interesting.

>> There's nothing that
fascinates us more than stuff

we don't understand.

So yeah.

I do find them very beautiful,
and I'd be sad if they stopped.

>> 2% to 10% of all crop
circles remain unexplained.

Perhaps we need to accept
that there is not always

an answer or open-minded
enough to believe

in other forms of intelligence.

>> This phenomena
goes beyond us.

>> We are absolutely not alone
and probably never have been,

and most likely never will be.

>> What this is about I
think is to just stretch

our consciousness to the point
at which we accept that we are

not number one in the universe.

There are others,
and they seem to be--

>> [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

>> Far more talented
than we are.
