1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:03,875
NARRATOR:
Incredible designs found in
2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:05,292
crop fields
all across the world.
3
00:00:05,375 --> 00:00:08,583
You've got these
magnificent works
4
00:00:08,708 --> 00:00:11,417
that span hundreds of feet.
5
00:00:11,542 --> 00:00:14,333
NARRATOR: Their origins
often defy explanation.
6
00:00:14,417 --> 00:00:18,667
ANDREW COLLINS:
Scientists have found evidence
7
00:00:18,833 --> 00:00:21,000
that microwave radiation
8
00:00:21,167 --> 00:00:24,667
was present when
the crop circle was formed.
9
00:00:24,792 --> 00:00:28,042
NARRATOR:
Many believe that these
formations are connected
10
00:00:28,167 --> 00:00:30,792
to visitations
by otherworldly beings.
11
00:00:30,917 --> 00:00:34,833
GIORGIO A. TSOUKALOS: People
have reported seeing lights
12
00:00:34,958 --> 00:00:37,708
above a field and then
within five minutes,
13
00:00:37,875 --> 00:00:39,417
there is a crop circle.
14
00:00:39,542 --> 00:00:42,958
NARRATOR: But if so,
what is their purpose?
15
00:00:43,042 --> 00:00:46,333
DAVID CHILDRESS:
Is it extraterrestrials
trying to communicate with us?
16
00:00:46,458 --> 00:00:48,917
Trying to show us
17
00:00:49,042 --> 00:00:52,833
certain cosmic truths
that they want us to know?
18
00:00:52,917 --> 00:00:55,000
JERRY KROTH:
These are messages,
19
00:00:55,125 --> 00:00:55,458
and they're important.
20
00:00:55,583 --> 00:00:59,125
♪ ♪
21
00:00:59,250 --> 00:01:02,750
NARRATOR:
There is a doorway
in the universe...
22
00:01:03,833 --> 00:01:07,292
Beyond it
is the promise of truth.
23
00:01:08,042 --> 00:01:10,708
It demands
we question everything
24
00:01:10,833 --> 00:01:13,167
we have ever been taught.
25
00:01:13,333 --> 00:01:16,833
The evidence is all around us.
26
00:01:16,958 --> 00:01:19,458
The future
is right before our eyes.
27
00:01:19,583 --> 00:01:22,542
We are not alone.
28
00:01:22,667 --> 00:01:26,625
We have never been alone.
29
00:01:39,958 --> 00:01:44,708
NARRATOR:
A mysterious formation emerges
in a field of mustard plants.
30
00:01:45,792 --> 00:01:49,208
The perfectly symmetrical
design is a phenomenon
31
00:01:49,375 --> 00:01:51,250
known as a crop circle.
32
00:01:52,333 --> 00:01:56,125
And it is just one of
many strange patterns
33
00:01:56,208 --> 00:01:59,625
that appear in the English
countryside every year.
34
00:02:01,250 --> 00:02:02,667
MARK OLLY:
Crop circles are
35
00:02:02,833 --> 00:02:05,375
basically, um, features,
designs,
36
00:02:05,542 --> 00:02:10,333
illustrations of
high complexity in crops.
37
00:02:10,458 --> 00:02:14,542
They tend to be complicated
designs of unknown origin.
38
00:02:14,667 --> 00:02:17,833
RICHARD TAYLOR:
In terms of the patterns
themselves,
39
00:02:17,958 --> 00:02:19,833
they've been undergoing
this amazing
40
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,792
sort of ramp-up
in sophistication.
41
00:02:21,875 --> 00:02:26,417
You can find these huge--
what they call pictographs--
42
00:02:26,542 --> 00:02:29,375
that span hundreds of feet
across a whole field,
43
00:02:29,542 --> 00:02:32,500
and feature multiple components.
44
00:02:33,333 --> 00:02:36,333
And they're arranged
with mathematical precision.
45
00:02:37,292 --> 00:02:40,583
Crop circles appear
in more than 50 countries.
46
00:02:40,708 --> 00:02:43,958
And there literally
have been thousands of them.
47
00:02:44,083 --> 00:02:47,000
Maybe over 10,000 crop circles
48
00:02:47,167 --> 00:02:50,625
that we're aware of
in the modern era.
49
00:02:51,542 --> 00:02:55,417
NARRATOR:
Today, thousands of people
visit these formations,
50
00:02:55,542 --> 00:02:59,792
including researchers who take
measurements of the patterns,
51
00:02:59,917 --> 00:03:02,542
collect stalks and soil samples,
52
00:03:02,708 --> 00:03:06,375
and record aerial images
for further study.
53
00:03:07,292 --> 00:03:10,000
Documentation of these
mysterious impressions
54
00:03:10,167 --> 00:03:12,292
may also include
eyewitness accounts
55
00:03:12,417 --> 00:03:16,250
of strange lights and objects
seen around the same time
56
00:03:16,375 --> 00:03:18,458
a crop circle appears.
57
00:03:18,542 --> 00:03:24,042
Such accounts have been widely
reported since the mid-1960s.
58
00:03:24,167 --> 00:03:27,333
The first modern example
of the discovery
59
00:03:27,500 --> 00:03:29,667
of a crop circle
actually being made
60
00:03:29,792 --> 00:03:32,667
was by George Pedley
in 1966 in Australia.
61
00:03:32,792 --> 00:03:37,167
What George Pedley saw
was an object
62
00:03:37,333 --> 00:03:39,500
rising out of a lagoon.
63
00:03:39,583 --> 00:03:43,500
And then the object-- he
couldn't tell how they did it--
64
00:03:43,625 --> 00:03:47,042
the object actually
made a pattern
65
00:03:47,167 --> 00:03:49,208
in the foliage in the lagoon,
66
00:03:49,375 --> 00:03:52,833
a geometric pattern
from that object.
67
00:03:53,667 --> 00:03:55,833
HENRY:
He finds a circular area where
68
00:03:55,958 --> 00:04:00,292
the grass in the swamp
or the reeds are matted down.
69
00:04:00,417 --> 00:04:03,000
This is reported in
the Australian press,
70
00:04:03,167 --> 00:04:05,292
and they start labeling
these UFO nests,
71
00:04:05,375 --> 00:04:08,458
or flying saucer nests.
72
00:04:09,375 --> 00:04:11,667
NARRATOR:
While crop circles
have been documented
73
00:04:11,833 --> 00:04:13,292
for more than 60 years,
74
00:04:13,417 --> 00:04:16,500
there is evidence that
these mysterious formations
75
00:04:16,625 --> 00:04:20,833
have been appearing in
farmers' fields for centuries.
76
00:04:26,417 --> 00:04:29,667
A woodcut pamphlet
called "The Mowing-Devil"
77
00:04:29,833 --> 00:04:32,500
is published that portrays
a devilish figure
78
00:04:32,667 --> 00:04:35,417
creating a circle
in a field of oats.
79
00:04:35,542 --> 00:04:38,583
COLLINS:
It refers to
a supposedly true story
80
00:04:38,708 --> 00:04:44,708
of a farmer that saw these
mysterious lights in a field,
81
00:04:44,875 --> 00:04:47,542
and the next morning,
when he went out there,
82
00:04:47,667 --> 00:04:51,667
he found these circular
depressions in his land.
83
00:04:51,792 --> 00:04:54,208
You know,
actually within the crop.
84
00:04:54,333 --> 00:04:56,167
TAYLOR:
The stalks weren't broken,
85
00:04:56,292 --> 00:04:57,833
but they were folded over.
86
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,500
And people even started
to blame the devil,
87
00:04:59,583 --> 00:05:02,500
what was called
the-the "Mowing-Devil."
88
00:05:02,625 --> 00:05:05,833
NARRATOR:
While the Mowing-Devil
woodcut attributed
89
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,500
the mysterious crop formation
to an evil entity,
90
00:05:09,583 --> 00:05:13,583
200 years later,
English scientist John Capron
91
00:05:13,708 --> 00:05:19,042
applied a scientific analysis
to what he witnessed in 1880,
92
00:05:19,208 --> 00:05:20,625
when he proposed
that a "cyclonic wind
93
00:05:20,750 --> 00:05:23,500
of unknown origin"
created perfectly circular
94
00:05:23,667 --> 00:05:27,417
patches of flattened crops.
95
00:05:27,542 --> 00:05:31,583
Capron might be the first person
to connect crop circles
96
00:05:31,708 --> 00:05:33,625
to what we today call UAPs
or-or UFOs,
97
00:05:33,750 --> 00:05:37,417
because he's describing
some kind of a whirlwind
98
00:05:37,542 --> 00:05:39,500
that is coming out of the sky
99
00:05:39,583 --> 00:05:42,208
and is having this effect
on the ground.
100
00:05:42,375 --> 00:05:44,792
It's creating what
we call a crop circle.
101
00:05:46,500 --> 00:05:50,792
NARRATOR:
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest that these incidents,
102
00:05:50,875 --> 00:05:53,667
along with modern
crop circle accounts,
103
00:05:53,792 --> 00:05:56,750
provide evidence that
these strange formations
104
00:05:56,875 --> 00:06:01,125
may be connected to visitations
by otherworldly beings.
105
00:06:01,958 --> 00:06:05,958
The eyewitnesses who have
reported seeing crop circles
106
00:06:06,083 --> 00:06:08,917
manifest have described
some extraordinary phenomena.
107
00:06:09,042 --> 00:06:11,875
They describe tubes of light,
108
00:06:12,042 --> 00:06:13,583
swirling beams of light.
109
00:06:13,708 --> 00:06:17,000
Very famously back in the 1990s,
110
00:06:17,125 --> 00:06:18,917
there was, uh, balls of light
111
00:06:19,042 --> 00:06:22,167
flying across a field
that were actually seen
112
00:06:22,333 --> 00:06:24,292
to lay the crops flat.
113
00:06:24,417 --> 00:06:26,125
And within a space of
only a couple of minutes
114
00:06:26,250 --> 00:06:29,250
they were filmed actually
producing one of those designs.
115
00:06:29,375 --> 00:06:33,583
NARRATOR:
Many researchers suggest
there are now enough reports
116
00:06:33,708 --> 00:06:36,792
of unusual activity
around crop circles to disprove
117
00:06:36,875 --> 00:06:41,458
a highly publicized claim
made over 30 years ago
118
00:06:41,542 --> 00:06:44,750
that all such formations
are man-made.
119
00:06:45,833 --> 00:06:47,667
The Ministry of Defence
in the U.K. started
120
00:06:47,792 --> 00:06:49,667
looking at the crop circle
mystery in
121
00:06:49,792 --> 00:06:53,167
the late '80s
and the early '90s.
122
00:06:53,250 --> 00:06:59,500
And in 1991, two men came
forward and said that they had
123
00:06:59,625 --> 00:07:02,458
been responsible for the entire
crop circle phenomenon.
124
00:07:02,542 --> 00:07:06,458
Doug Bower and Dave Chorley
said we fooled the world.
125
00:07:06,583 --> 00:07:08,667
We've been making
these things for years.
126
00:07:08,833 --> 00:07:11,625
NARRATOR:
For much of the general public,
127
00:07:11,750 --> 00:07:14,958
Doug and Dave's claim of
creating the mysterious giant
128
00:07:15,042 --> 00:07:18,958
patterns reinforced the belief
that crop circles were a hoax.
129
00:07:19,042 --> 00:07:22,667
Yet the frequent appearance of
crop circles around the world,
130
00:07:22,833 --> 00:07:26,750
and the geometric detail
found in many patterns,
131
00:07:26,875 --> 00:07:31,042
left researchers with numerous
questions about how two men
132
00:07:31,208 --> 00:07:34,708
could possibly be responsible
for the global phenomenon.
133
00:07:35,708 --> 00:07:38,375
COLLINS:
Doug and Dave said,
"We have created
134
00:07:38,542 --> 00:07:42,375
"all of these formations
just using planks of wood
135
00:07:42,542 --> 00:07:44,042
and lengths of rope."
136
00:07:44,167 --> 00:07:45,625
But there are
137
00:07:45,750 --> 00:07:49,542
thousands and thousands
of crop formations.
138
00:07:49,708 --> 00:07:54,417
And it cannot possibly
be that two men made them all.
139
00:07:56,333 --> 00:07:58,875
HOWE:
They were in what
I consider to be
140
00:07:59,042 --> 00:08:00,667
the counterintelligence
units that were trying,
141
00:08:00,833 --> 00:08:04,333
uh, to make everybody go away
142
00:08:04,500 --> 00:08:06,417
and not take
crop formations seriously.
143
00:08:06,542 --> 00:08:09,875
In their own admission,
which they said,
144
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,542
"We made the formations
in Hampshire
145
00:08:12,667 --> 00:08:14,583
and we made the formations
in Wiltshire."
146
00:08:14,708 --> 00:08:17,667
Well, there had been
formations in many
147
00:08:17,792 --> 00:08:21,500
parts of England,
let alone 22 other countries.
148
00:08:21,625 --> 00:08:25,083
And on their demonstration
149
00:08:25,208 --> 00:08:28,000
of how they made
their formation,
150
00:08:28,167 --> 00:08:28,875
they were off-kilter.
151
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,958
And for those of us
who have been
152
00:08:32,042 --> 00:08:36,125
in real crop formations,
there's just no comparison.
153
00:08:36,250 --> 00:08:38,583
Let's say that you're tired.
154
00:08:38,708 --> 00:08:42,542
And you make one step
into that crop formation
155
00:08:42,708 --> 00:08:45,667
and it is as if
you've entered into
156
00:08:45,792 --> 00:08:50,375
a completely different
space, energy, frequency.
157
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,250
TSOUKALOS:
The way you can tell
158
00:08:53,375 --> 00:08:56,125
that it's a man-made circle is
159
00:08:56,250 --> 00:08:59,000
as you use the boards
to push everything down,
160
00:08:59,125 --> 00:09:03,208
not only are the stalks
sometimes broken,
161
00:09:03,375 --> 00:09:06,125
but they're in
complete disarray.
162
00:09:06,250 --> 00:09:09,542
In one that's not man-made,
163
00:09:09,667 --> 00:09:14,000
you can see that
the stalks are sometimes
164
00:09:14,167 --> 00:09:17,500
braided and intertwined
with each other.
165
00:09:17,667 --> 00:09:21,833
So many formations
had braids, and no creases.
166
00:09:21,958 --> 00:09:26,625
Try as a human
to do that with wheat.
167
00:09:27,875 --> 00:09:31,625
MONIQUE KLINKENBERGH:
We have 300-plus
eyewitnesses of seeing
168
00:09:31,750 --> 00:09:32,833
an authentic crop circle form.
169
00:09:32,917 --> 00:09:35,500
And they have one
thing in common:
170
00:09:35,625 --> 00:09:38,750
they see the flattening
of the crop happening
171
00:09:38,875 --> 00:09:40,708
in a matter of minutes,
172
00:09:40,875 --> 00:09:45,000
or even seconds, by this
mysterious force or source.
173
00:09:45,125 --> 00:09:46,833
Sometimes,
there are light phenomena
174
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:51,042
and sometimes strange sounds...
175
00:09:51,167 --> 00:09:54,167
but it happens in just
176
00:09:54,250 --> 00:09:55,917
a very short time span.
177
00:09:57,083 --> 00:10:00,500
Sometimes, there is a mist
hanging above the field,
178
00:10:00,625 --> 00:10:04,167
the mist is gone,
and there is the formation.
179
00:10:04,292 --> 00:10:06,292
So, the question then arises:
180
00:10:06,417 --> 00:10:08,417
How was that done?
181
00:10:08,542 --> 00:10:09,917
And who did it?
182
00:10:11,042 --> 00:10:12,833
NARRATOR:
Do these eyewitness
accounts offer
183
00:10:12,958 --> 00:10:16,917
compelling evidence
that extraterrestrials
184
00:10:17,042 --> 00:10:20,167
could be responsible for
the crop circle phenomenon?
185
00:10:20,333 --> 00:10:24,125
If so, what is their purpose?
186
00:10:24,250 --> 00:10:27,167
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest that the answers
187
00:10:27,292 --> 00:10:31,000
may be encoded within
the crop circles themselves...
188
00:10:31,083 --> 00:10:34,708
and might have critical
implications for mankind.
189
00:10:44,958 --> 00:10:46,833
NARRATOR:
U.S. billionaire
and philanthropist
190
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,708
Laurance Rockefeller
establishes a grant
191
00:10:50,875 --> 00:10:53,625
to assist with
one of the largest studies
192
00:10:53,708 --> 00:10:56,583
of crop circles in history.
193
00:10:56,708 --> 00:10:59,542
The donation reflects
the growing interest
194
00:10:59,708 --> 00:11:02,750
in the scientific study
of how and why
195
00:11:02,875 --> 00:11:05,333
crop circles are created.
196
00:11:06,417 --> 00:11:09,833
There was a scientist
by the name of W.C. Levengood
197
00:11:09,958 --> 00:11:12,667
who did some very, very
interesting work, uh,
198
00:11:12,792 --> 00:11:15,458
at various sites
in Southern England
199
00:11:15,583 --> 00:11:18,792
where crop circles
appeared in the 1990s.
200
00:11:18,917 --> 00:11:24,000
And he found some very
strange things were going on.
201
00:11:24,125 --> 00:11:27,333
For instance, he found
that some of the stalks
202
00:11:27,417 --> 00:11:31,042
were blowing out,
203
00:11:31,167 --> 00:11:34,542
which he felt
was only replicable
204
00:11:34,708 --> 00:11:37,542
by microwave radiation.
205
00:11:37,667 --> 00:11:41,667
Levengood also found traces of
206
00:11:41,833 --> 00:11:43,917
other forms of radiation.
207
00:11:44,750 --> 00:11:49,333
And he even found
that some of the corn
208
00:11:49,417 --> 00:11:53,917
would yield much better growth
if it was actually taken
209
00:11:54,042 --> 00:11:58,000
from a crop circle formation.
210
00:11:59,375 --> 00:12:04,125
TSOUKALOS:
Dr. Levengood, he noticed
that inside the crop circle
211
00:12:04,208 --> 00:12:07,042
the growth rate
was five times as fast
212
00:12:07,208 --> 00:12:10,542
than what's going on
outside of that crop circle.
213
00:12:10,667 --> 00:12:12,875
And when he investigated this,
214
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,833
he actually came up
with a technique called
215
00:12:15,917 --> 00:12:18,875
molecular impulse response.
216
00:12:19,833 --> 00:12:21,833
HENRY:
From this study he was able to
217
00:12:21,958 --> 00:12:25,333
do a bit of reverse
engineering, and he created
218
00:12:25,417 --> 00:12:27,083
electrical pulse technology
219
00:12:27,208 --> 00:12:31,167
that is actually used
to accelerate plant growth.
220
00:12:31,292 --> 00:12:35,500
NARRATOR:
Scientists were astounded
that the radiation research
221
00:12:35,583 --> 00:12:39,958
of crop circles led to new
innovations in plant growth.
222
00:12:40,083 --> 00:12:43,333
Radiation was also
believed to be the source
223
00:12:43,500 --> 00:12:45,708
of so-called "ghost formations"
224
00:12:45,875 --> 00:12:48,333
where the stark impression
of a crop circle
225
00:12:48,458 --> 00:12:52,250
appears long after
the field has been cleared.
226
00:12:54,292 --> 00:12:57,833
TAYLOR:
There's photographic
evidence of many examples,
227
00:12:57,958 --> 00:12:59,583
where people have turned up
228
00:12:59,708 --> 00:13:02,333
after the farmer has
harvested the crop,
229
00:13:02,500 --> 00:13:04,667
and they can still see
230
00:13:04,750 --> 00:13:07,375
elements of the design
persisting.
231
00:13:08,250 --> 00:13:11,625
Several people have
come forward to claim
232
00:13:11,708 --> 00:13:13,958
that they actually witnessed
233
00:13:14,083 --> 00:13:17,833
mysterious lights--
UFOs, UAPs--
234
00:13:17,958 --> 00:13:21,208
in the vicinity
of a particular field
235
00:13:21,375 --> 00:13:23,375
and then the next day,
236
00:13:23,500 --> 00:13:25,667
crop circles are actually found.
237
00:13:25,750 --> 00:13:27,667
So, what is the relationship
238
00:13:27,792 --> 00:13:30,333
between these mysterious
globes of light
239
00:13:30,458 --> 00:13:34,708
and ghost formations
revealing this negative
240
00:13:34,833 --> 00:13:38,208
of the crop formation that had
been there the previous year?
241
00:13:38,333 --> 00:13:41,167
NARRATOR:
For ancient astronaut theorists,
242
00:13:41,292 --> 00:13:44,000
the appearance
of aerial phenomena,
243
00:13:44,125 --> 00:13:47,625
along with the emergence of
ghostly pre-existing patterns,
244
00:13:47,750 --> 00:13:51,917
supports the theory that some
crop circles are not man-made,
245
00:13:52,042 --> 00:13:56,125
but instead could be
an extraterrestrial creation.
246
00:13:56,208 --> 00:13:59,833
And they point
to specific features
247
00:13:59,917 --> 00:14:03,917
in certain formations
that may explain their purpose.
248
00:14:10,208 --> 00:14:13,167
A crop circle bearing the image
249
00:14:13,292 --> 00:14:16,708
of a strange figure
emerges in a wheat field.
250
00:14:16,833 --> 00:14:20,167
At its base is
a disc-shaped object
251
00:14:20,292 --> 00:14:23,333
containing what some believe
to be binary code,
252
00:14:23,500 --> 00:14:28,250
a computer language
consisting of ones and zeros.
253
00:14:28,375 --> 00:14:31,542
It wasn't one of these
breathtaking geometries,
254
00:14:31,667 --> 00:14:33,375
but it was highly mysterious
255
00:14:33,542 --> 00:14:36,000
and here is what happened.
256
00:14:36,875 --> 00:14:40,167
In 2002 comes
this enormous image
257
00:14:40,250 --> 00:14:43,333
of what you would have to call
258
00:14:43,417 --> 00:14:46,792
the typical world's
interpretation
259
00:14:46,875 --> 00:14:52,292
of a Grey alien being
now holding a disc.
260
00:14:52,417 --> 00:14:56,583
It's binary code
that had to be translated.
261
00:14:58,083 --> 00:15:01,042
NARRATOR:
The binary code depicted
in the crop formation
262
00:15:01,167 --> 00:15:02,958
was translated as,
263
00:15:03,042 --> 00:15:04,167
"Beware the bearers
of false gifts
264
00:15:04,250 --> 00:15:07,083
"and their broken promises.
265
00:15:07,208 --> 00:15:11,375
"Much pain, but still time.
There is good out there.
266
00:15:11,500 --> 00:15:15,667
We oppose deception.
Conduit closing."
267
00:15:15,750 --> 00:15:18,917
There is much happening here
268
00:15:19,042 --> 00:15:22,833
that is profound, is important,
269
00:15:22,958 --> 00:15:24,917
and we better pay attention
270
00:15:25,042 --> 00:15:27,333
because it means
that there is something
271
00:15:27,458 --> 00:15:30,167
that is non-human that
is trying to convince us
272
00:15:30,292 --> 00:15:33,583
that this was the genuine
intelligence behind
273
00:15:33,708 --> 00:15:37,542
the crop formations and that
it was depicting itself
274
00:15:37,708 --> 00:15:40,000
as a Grey and transmitting
275
00:15:40,083 --> 00:15:41,458
in binary code.
276
00:15:41,542 --> 00:15:46,167
NARRATOR:
Could the binary code
depicted in this crop formation
277
00:15:46,250 --> 00:15:51,208
contain an otherworldly message
sent to assist humankind?
278
00:15:51,375 --> 00:15:54,958
Perhaps clues can be found in
another remarkable crop circle,
279
00:15:55,042 --> 00:15:57,667
one that appears
to be responding
280
00:15:57,792 --> 00:16:00,125
to a message from Earth.
281
00:16:08,750 --> 00:16:11,208
Astronomers at SETI,
282
00:16:11,375 --> 00:16:14,208
the Search for Extraterrestrial
Intelligence,
283
00:16:14,375 --> 00:16:18,500
aim the world's largest radio
telescope at a cluster of stars
284
00:16:18,583 --> 00:16:23,167
25,000 light-years from Earth
and transmit a message.
285
00:16:23,250 --> 00:16:26,333
It contains binary-
encoded information
286
00:16:26,458 --> 00:16:29,167
including the numbers
one through ten,
287
00:16:29,333 --> 00:16:33,000
an image of human DNA,
a human figure,
288
00:16:33,125 --> 00:16:35,167
and a graphic
of the solar system,
289
00:16:35,250 --> 00:16:38,167
highlighting
the position of Earth.
290
00:16:38,250 --> 00:16:43,208
Remarkably, almost 26 years
after the Arecibo transmission,
291
00:16:43,333 --> 00:16:47,458
a crop circle nearly identical
to the SETI binary message
292
00:16:47,542 --> 00:16:50,500
appears in a field in
Hampshire County, England.
293
00:16:52,292 --> 00:16:53,833
HENRY:
The formation that
appeared next to
294
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,667
the Chilbolton Radio
Observatory in 2001
295
00:16:56,750 --> 00:16:58,583
echoed the message sent by SETI,
296
00:16:58,708 --> 00:17:01,417
but it seemed to show
a different system of planets,
297
00:17:01,542 --> 00:17:04,292
suggesting that it's
a different solar system.
298
00:17:04,417 --> 00:17:07,333
The DNA was not double helix
and instead of a human,
299
00:17:07,458 --> 00:17:12,875
we see a humanoid being with a
larger head and a smaller body.
300
00:17:13,833 --> 00:17:16,500
This was clearly a message
and perhaps even a response
301
00:17:16,625 --> 00:17:18,792
to the message
transmitted by SETI.
302
00:17:20,500 --> 00:17:23,500
NARRATOR:
Could the crop circle that
appeared in Hampshire, England
303
00:17:23,583 --> 00:17:25,958
have been an
extraterrestrial response
304
00:17:26,042 --> 00:17:28,208
to SETI's Arecibo message?
305
00:17:29,208 --> 00:17:32,250
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes
306
00:17:32,375 --> 00:17:34,458
and suggest the formations
307
00:17:34,583 --> 00:17:37,458
that appeared in both Hampshire
and Winchester, England
308
00:17:37,542 --> 00:17:40,875
might also provide clues
about how to communicate
309
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,750
with alien beings.
310
00:17:44,625 --> 00:17:48,833
If these two formations
were made by extraterrestrials,
311
00:17:48,917 --> 00:17:52,458
one possible interpretation
is they were telling us we were
312
00:17:52,583 --> 00:17:55,167
on the right track
with the message beamed
313
00:17:55,333 --> 00:17:57,833
from Arecibo in 1974,
314
00:17:57,917 --> 00:18:00,375
that binary code and mathematics
315
00:18:00,542 --> 00:18:03,583
more generally is
the language of the cosmos.
316
00:18:03,708 --> 00:18:06,167
And that's how to
communicate with them.
317
00:18:07,292 --> 00:18:10,333
NARRATOR:
Researchers suggest
that while the formations
318
00:18:10,417 --> 00:18:12,458
that included binary code
appeared to be attempts
319
00:18:12,542 --> 00:18:16,792
by otherworldly beings to
communicate with humans...
320
00:18:16,875 --> 00:18:20,708
other crop circles contain
much more complex messages
321
00:18:20,875 --> 00:18:22,583
and instructions.
322
00:18:22,708 --> 00:18:25,208
And they believe that
further clues can be found
323
00:18:25,375 --> 00:18:29,333
by examining a curious formation
in Wiltshire, England
324
00:18:29,500 --> 00:18:32,917
that contains
a depiction of a wormhole.
325
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:39,458
NARRATOR:
Wiltshire, England.
326
00:18:39,542 --> 00:18:43,458
July 13, 2011.
327
00:18:43,542 --> 00:18:47,208
A crop formation featuring
two connected spirals
328
00:18:47,333 --> 00:18:49,750
appears on
a prehistoric earthwork
329
00:18:49,875 --> 00:18:51,417
known as Windmill Hill.
330
00:18:51,542 --> 00:18:56,042
The same day, another formation
with a circular design
331
00:18:56,208 --> 00:18:58,750
appears 20 miles
directly to the south,
332
00:18:58,875 --> 00:19:02,583
at the ancient megalithic
site of Stonehenge.
333
00:19:04,333 --> 00:19:06,542
Intrigued by the appearance
of two crop circles
334
00:19:06,667 --> 00:19:09,250
on the same day,
and in the same area,
335
00:19:09,375 --> 00:19:11,000
at two historic sites,
336
00:19:11,125 --> 00:19:14,167
researcher Jerry Kroth
studies them
337
00:19:14,292 --> 00:19:17,708
to see if any other
similarities are apparent.
338
00:19:19,333 --> 00:19:21,042
So, I see these two formations.
339
00:19:21,208 --> 00:19:23,208
They occur on the same day
340
00:19:23,333 --> 00:19:24,750
and I said how far are they?
341
00:19:24,875 --> 00:19:26,833
20 miles apart.
342
00:19:26,917 --> 00:19:30,250
I said, well, maybe put
those things together,
343
00:19:30,375 --> 00:19:31,500
and I said, "Oh, my God.
344
00:19:31,583 --> 00:19:33,583
There's a 3D element here."
345
00:19:34,583 --> 00:19:38,833
If you look at a neutron star,
it looks like the crop circle
346
00:19:38,958 --> 00:19:41,333
with magnetic fields as those
347
00:19:41,417 --> 00:19:43,625
swirling things
and the stars in the middle.
348
00:19:43,708 --> 00:19:45,917
So, I thought maybe
that's a neutron star.
349
00:19:46,042 --> 00:19:50,625
Do you know how wide
a neutron star is? 38 miles.
350
00:19:50,708 --> 00:19:54,292
Like how could a star
be 38 miles in diameter?
351
00:19:54,375 --> 00:19:56,583
Because it's so dense.
352
00:19:57,792 --> 00:20:01,500
And neutron stars
sometimes collide.
353
00:20:02,333 --> 00:20:05,083
They collide and sometimes
when they collide,
354
00:20:05,208 --> 00:20:07,375
they make a magnetar,
355
00:20:07,500 --> 00:20:11,333
which is a star
that's 18 miles wide.
356
00:20:11,458 --> 00:20:13,500
So, those two circles
come together
357
00:20:13,583 --> 00:20:15,542
and make this little tiny dot
358
00:20:15,667 --> 00:20:17,458
and I said,
"Is this talking about
359
00:20:17,583 --> 00:20:22,250
a neutron star collision
and a magnetar being born?"
360
00:20:23,833 --> 00:20:27,000
NARRATOR:
A magnetar produces
a magnetic field
361
00:20:27,167 --> 00:20:28,375
that is 100 million
times stronger
362
00:20:28,500 --> 00:20:31,167
than any man-made magnet
363
00:20:31,292 --> 00:20:33,000
and causes distortions
364
00:20:33,167 --> 00:20:35,083
in both space and time.
365
00:20:35,208 --> 00:20:36,500
Because of this effect,
366
00:20:36,583 --> 00:20:40,500
some scientists believe
the study of magnetars
367
00:20:40,625 --> 00:20:41,375
could help us to develop craft
368
00:20:41,500 --> 00:20:44,333
that can bend space-time
369
00:20:44,458 --> 00:20:47,792
and travel faster
than the speed of light.
370
00:20:47,875 --> 00:20:50,708
But could this have
been what was depicted
371
00:20:50,833 --> 00:20:54,000
by separate crop circles
that appeared on the same day
372
00:20:54,125 --> 00:20:56,000
in Wiltshire, England?
373
00:20:56,125 --> 00:20:59,292
KROTH:
There are only around ten
magnetars in the Milky Way.
374
00:20:59,417 --> 00:21:01,333
They're extremely rare,
375
00:21:01,458 --> 00:21:03,500
the most magnetic objects
in the universe,
376
00:21:03,583 --> 00:21:05,708
so I thought, "Well,
nice theory, Jerry.
377
00:21:05,833 --> 00:21:07,208
No way to prove it."
378
00:21:07,333 --> 00:21:09,500
NARRATOR:
Could the spiral crop circles
379
00:21:09,625 --> 00:21:12,583
represent the creation
of a magnetar?
380
00:21:12,708 --> 00:21:15,625
Within 24 hours
of the mysterious
381
00:21:15,750 --> 00:21:18,667
patterns' discovery,
Jerry Kroth's theory
382
00:21:18,833 --> 00:21:23,500
would be played out in
a real-time astronomical event.
383
00:21:23,667 --> 00:21:27,833
KROTH:
July 14th,
an astronomer in Madrid
384
00:21:27,958 --> 00:21:30,417
and an astronomer in Sicily
385
00:21:30,542 --> 00:21:33,500
say a magnetar
has just appeared.
386
00:21:33,667 --> 00:21:37,708
Now, when they appear,
they shoot pulses
387
00:21:37,833 --> 00:21:40,667
at like 700 revolutions
a minute.
388
00:21:40,750 --> 00:21:44,125
Really, really fast.
(whooshing)
389
00:21:44,208 --> 00:21:45,667
And I wrote to them. Is...
390
00:21:45,750 --> 00:21:47,917
Could anyone have
seen it July 13th?
391
00:21:48,042 --> 00:21:49,292
They said no.
392
00:21:49,375 --> 00:21:50,167
So...
393
00:21:50,333 --> 00:21:54,375
A magnetar appears on July 14th
394
00:21:54,542 --> 00:21:56,958
and is studied by every
astronomer in the world
395
00:21:57,083 --> 00:21:59,417
and they're going nuts
about it and they're seeing
396
00:21:59,542 --> 00:22:02,333
these spectral lines and pulses
397
00:22:02,458 --> 00:22:05,125
and it goes on for six months.
398
00:22:05,208 --> 00:22:07,500
But on July 13th,
399
00:22:07,625 --> 00:22:13,500
there are two crop circles
doing this 24 hours before
400
00:22:13,583 --> 00:22:17,000
and that's when I was
convinced this was a magnetar.
401
00:22:18,208 --> 00:22:21,250
NARRATOR:
Is it possible that
extraterrestrials
402
00:22:21,375 --> 00:22:23,708
created the two crop circles
in Wiltshire
403
00:22:23,875 --> 00:22:27,250
to forecast the imminent
appearance of a magnetar?
404
00:22:27,375 --> 00:22:30,500
And if so, what could
the purpose be?
405
00:22:30,625 --> 00:22:32,917
Perhaps further clues
can be found
406
00:22:33,042 --> 00:22:36,583
by examining another
crop circle formation
407
00:22:36,708 --> 00:22:40,917
that many believe represents one
of Albert Einstein's theories.
408
00:22:42,417 --> 00:22:45,500
COLLINS:
On the 26th of July 2022,
409
00:22:45,667 --> 00:22:50,500
a remarkable crop formation
appeared in Tawsmead Copse.
410
00:22:51,458 --> 00:22:55,333
And this consisted
of three overlapping
411
00:22:55,458 --> 00:22:59,208
series of concentric circles.
412
00:22:59,375 --> 00:23:00,583
Some researchers
413
00:23:00,708 --> 00:23:02,417
have interpreted this
414
00:23:02,542 --> 00:23:05,125
as a two-dimensional form
415
00:23:05,208 --> 00:23:07,792
of a Einstein-Rosen Bridge.
416
00:23:07,875 --> 00:23:13,625
NARRATOR:
In 1935, physicists
Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen
417
00:23:13,708 --> 00:23:16,625
theorized that
with enough energy,
418
00:23:16,708 --> 00:23:20,583
space could be bent in order
to connect two separate points
419
00:23:20,708 --> 00:23:24,042
through what they called
an "Einstein-Rosen Bridge."
420
00:23:24,208 --> 00:23:27,333
This connection, it is believed,
could make it possible
421
00:23:27,417 --> 00:23:30,125
to quickly travel to even
the most remote stars
422
00:23:30,250 --> 00:23:31,958
in the universe.
423
00:23:33,167 --> 00:23:36,458
When molecular biologist
and crop circle researcher
424
00:23:36,542 --> 00:23:40,333
Dr. Horace Drew saw
the Tawsmead Copse crop circle
425
00:23:40,500 --> 00:23:44,833
in 2022,
he remarked that the design
426
00:23:44,917 --> 00:23:48,125
"clearly shows the image
of a space-time wormhole."
427
00:23:48,208 --> 00:23:48,833
HENRY:
It seems very apparent
428
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,708
that crop circles are messages.
429
00:23:51,833 --> 00:23:54,708
They're coded messages for us.
430
00:23:55,750 --> 00:23:58,000
When we look at
that crop circle,
431
00:23:58,083 --> 00:24:01,583
what Dr. Horace Drew
proposed is that
432
00:24:01,708 --> 00:24:03,125
it has what appears to be
433
00:24:03,250 --> 00:24:07,667
a tube or a portal that
links the vortices points
434
00:24:07,750 --> 00:24:10,792
and also the bending
of space-time.
435
00:24:11,667 --> 00:24:12,792
CHILDRESS: If you look
at a theoretical model
436
00:24:12,875 --> 00:24:16,083
of an Einstein-Rosen Bridge,
437
00:24:16,208 --> 00:24:17,792
what is commonly
called a wormhole,
438
00:24:17,917 --> 00:24:23,125
you see this formation
and how it looks,
439
00:24:23,250 --> 00:24:26,333
you have to wonder,
are they extraterrestrials
440
00:24:26,417 --> 00:24:28,917
telling us how they got here?
441
00:24:29,750 --> 00:24:32,708
NARRATOR:
Is it possible
that astronomical events
442
00:24:32,833 --> 00:24:36,167
and geometric patterns
displayed in crop circles
443
00:24:36,250 --> 00:24:40,500
could be pointing humankind
towards future technologies?
444
00:24:40,625 --> 00:24:43,833
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes
445
00:24:43,917 --> 00:24:49,417
and suggest some formations may
be telling us how to communicate
446
00:24:49,542 --> 00:24:52,292
with extraterrestrials.
447
00:25:02,167 --> 00:25:05,833
NARRATOR:
An intricate formation
of concentric circles,
448
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,875
featuring a number
of smaller semicircles
449
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:10,833
appears in a field of wheat.
450
00:25:10,958 --> 00:25:14,167
While the design
may appear random,
451
00:25:14,250 --> 00:25:17,208
some researchers believe
it contains a message
452
00:25:17,375 --> 00:25:20,250
that can be both seen and heard.
453
00:25:20,375 --> 00:25:22,625
Because it is a perfect match
454
00:25:22,708 --> 00:25:26,792
for what is known
as a cymatic pattern.
455
00:25:27,125 --> 00:25:30,125
When we talk about
cymatic patterns,
456
00:25:30,208 --> 00:25:34,167
we're talking about
a frequency that will create
457
00:25:34,292 --> 00:25:36,500
an image that
has a complexity to it.
458
00:25:37,542 --> 00:25:41,708
So, specific frequencies
relate to specific patterns.
459
00:25:44,958 --> 00:25:48,417
NARRATOR:
The origins of cymatics
among human civilizations
460
00:25:48,542 --> 00:25:52,667
can be traced back more than
ten centuries to West Africa.
461
00:25:52,792 --> 00:25:56,125
There, tribal rituals
involved sprinkling
462
00:25:56,208 --> 00:25:59,333
grains of sand
on the surface of drums.
463
00:25:59,458 --> 00:26:02,250
Striking the drums
created specific audio tones,
464
00:26:02,375 --> 00:26:07,958
causing the sand to be instantly
shaped into distinct formations.
465
00:26:08,083 --> 00:26:11,000
From the resulting formations
on the drum's surface,
466
00:26:11,125 --> 00:26:13,625
tribal elders believed
it was possible
467
00:26:13,708 --> 00:26:16,208
to predict future events.
468
00:26:17,458 --> 00:26:19,875
CHILDRESS:
With cymatics,
you have these patterns that
469
00:26:20,042 --> 00:26:25,333
are a visualization really
of-of sound and vibration.
470
00:26:25,500 --> 00:26:29,792
And physicists tell us that
the entire universe
471
00:26:29,875 --> 00:26:33,667
comes down to vibration
and sound patterns,
472
00:26:33,792 --> 00:26:36,958
and these patterns
that can be visualized.
473
00:26:37,875 --> 00:26:42,417
NARRATOR:
In 1787, German physicist
and musician
474
00:26:42,542 --> 00:26:45,500
Ernst Chladni offered
a breakthrough on the subject
475
00:26:45,667 --> 00:26:50,458
when he published Discoveries
in the Theory of Sound.
476
00:26:50,542 --> 00:26:54,542
In the writing, Chladni
revealed that specific tones
477
00:26:54,708 --> 00:26:57,208
consistently create
the same visual pattern.
478
00:26:57,375 --> 00:27:01,583
By applying sound vibrations
to metal plates covered in sand,
479
00:27:01,708 --> 00:27:03,500
he identified the images
480
00:27:03,625 --> 00:27:06,125
produced by various frequencies.
481
00:27:08,208 --> 00:27:11,250
HENRY:
When we look at
so many crop circles,
482
00:27:11,375 --> 00:27:14,000
they're consistent with what
we see in research on cymatics.
483
00:27:14,125 --> 00:27:18,750
We find the same shapes that
are created on Chladni plates.
484
00:27:18,875 --> 00:27:20,083
We find the same shapes
485
00:27:20,208 --> 00:27:22,625
that are created
in sound experiments.
486
00:27:22,708 --> 00:27:24,500
So, there's a very key
connection
487
00:27:24,625 --> 00:27:25,917
that is to be made here.
488
00:27:26,958 --> 00:27:30,208
TAYLOR:
Quite a few crop circles
are very similar
489
00:27:30,333 --> 00:27:33,375
to the cymatic patterns,
again demonstrating
490
00:27:33,542 --> 00:27:37,875
that there's a deep geometric
harmony at play,
491
00:27:38,042 --> 00:27:40,833
something that appeals
directly to us.
492
00:27:41,375 --> 00:27:45,375
NARRATOR:
But why would cymatic patterns
appear in crop circles?
493
00:27:45,500 --> 00:27:49,500
Could extraterrestrials
be using audio frequencies
494
00:27:49,583 --> 00:27:51,667
as a method of communication?
495
00:27:52,667 --> 00:27:55,750
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest further clues
496
00:27:55,875 --> 00:27:57,125
can be found by
examining the teachings
497
00:27:57,208 --> 00:28:00,583
found in ancient
Hindu religious texts
498
00:28:00,708 --> 00:28:02,833
known as Vedas.
499
00:28:03,625 --> 00:28:07,875
DOMINIC STEAVU:
The word "Veda" means
knowledge in Sanskrit.
500
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,042
There is this close
association with
501
00:28:10,208 --> 00:28:13,125
a special type of wisdom
or knowledge
502
00:28:13,208 --> 00:28:15,333
that is transmitted
through the Vedas.
503
00:28:16,333 --> 00:28:20,167
Now, originally the Vedas
were revealed by the gods
504
00:28:20,333 --> 00:28:24,208
to a certain class
of spiritual elect.
505
00:28:24,333 --> 00:28:28,667
And they contain, again,
these primordial sounds
506
00:28:28,833 --> 00:28:30,833
that are associated
with the creation
507
00:28:30,917 --> 00:28:33,458
of the universe
and its proper functioning.
508
00:28:34,292 --> 00:28:38,208
NARRATOR:
In the Vedic texts,
it is said that the gods
509
00:28:38,333 --> 00:28:41,667
gave humankind a visual
guide to sacred sounds
510
00:28:41,792 --> 00:28:45,625
in the form of elaborate
patterns called "mandalas."
511
00:28:45,708 --> 00:28:48,333
Like Chladni's experiments,
512
00:28:48,417 --> 00:28:52,417
the mandalas translate sound
into visual patterns,
513
00:28:52,542 --> 00:28:56,417
but for a profound
and otherworldly purpose.
514
00:28:56,542 --> 00:28:59,292
In Hinduism, mandalas
are considered to be
515
00:28:59,375 --> 00:29:03,333
visual translations
of primordial sounds.
516
00:29:04,750 --> 00:29:08,042
And these are the sounds
that gave rise
517
00:29:08,208 --> 00:29:11,875
to the universe, and to
the very nature of reality.
518
00:29:12,042 --> 00:29:17,667
And they are divine,
they were uttered cosmically
519
00:29:17,792 --> 00:29:21,458
by supernatural beings, by gods.
520
00:29:21,542 --> 00:29:26,208
HENRY:
The Vedas tell us that the gods
taught humans how to chant.
521
00:29:26,333 --> 00:29:28,375
How to pray and to sing
522
00:29:28,500 --> 00:29:31,167
in order to communicate
with the gods.
523
00:29:32,417 --> 00:29:37,375
NARRATOR:
The most powerful Hindu
mantra is the sound "Aum,"
524
00:29:37,500 --> 00:29:40,708
which is visually represented
by a simple circle
525
00:29:40,875 --> 00:29:43,000
with a dot in the middle:
526
00:29:43,125 --> 00:29:46,167
the fundamental element
of a mandala.
527
00:29:46,250 --> 00:29:49,917
Incredibly, when
the "Aum" frequency
528
00:29:50,042 --> 00:29:55,125
is applied to a Chladni plate,
the exact same pattern emerges.
529
00:29:57,583 --> 00:30:02,333
Higher-toned frequencies result
in more complex arrangements
530
00:30:02,417 --> 00:30:06,750
that also identically match
the ancient mandala symbols.
531
00:30:08,042 --> 00:30:11,000
COLLINS:
Is it conceivable
that the writers
532
00:30:11,125 --> 00:30:13,583
of the ancient Vedic texts
533
00:30:13,708 --> 00:30:16,000
were given advanced knowledge
534
00:30:16,125 --> 00:30:18,750
on how sound frequencies
535
00:30:18,875 --> 00:30:22,292
can be converted
into visual patterns?
536
00:30:23,875 --> 00:30:25,917
Some of the crop circle designs
537
00:30:26,042 --> 00:30:30,125
are very clearly
reflections of sound.
538
00:30:30,250 --> 00:30:34,250
Is it therefore possible
that what we're looking at
539
00:30:34,375 --> 00:30:41,000
is sound signatures and that
this is telling us in some way
540
00:30:41,125 --> 00:30:43,167
that sound is
an important means of
541
00:30:43,292 --> 00:30:48,417
communication with
such higher intelligences?
542
00:30:50,542 --> 00:30:52,292
NARRATOR:
Many cultures around the world
543
00:30:52,417 --> 00:30:55,417
believe it is possible
to commune with a higher realm
544
00:30:55,542 --> 00:31:00,125
through ritualistic chanting,
singing and prayer.
545
00:31:00,208 --> 00:31:02,958
Like mandalas,
could crop circles
546
00:31:03,083 --> 00:31:05,125
contain an otherworldly
message for humanity,
547
00:31:05,250 --> 00:31:09,042
one that is based
on sacred sounds?
548
00:31:10,500 --> 00:31:15,333
TSOUKALOS:
I certainly think that
crop circles are messages by
549
00:31:15,458 --> 00:31:20,667
other beings who are trying
to make contact with us,
550
00:31:20,792 --> 00:31:24,542
or at least letting
us know they're there.
551
00:31:25,250 --> 00:31:27,375
And the entire basis
of the universe
552
00:31:27,500 --> 00:31:31,583
is vibration,
and sound is vibration.
553
00:31:32,375 --> 00:31:34,667
When we talk about
different ways
554
00:31:34,833 --> 00:31:38,042
with which to communicate
with different civilizations,
555
00:31:38,167 --> 00:31:42,125
scientists have proposed
that can be achieved
556
00:31:42,208 --> 00:31:43,625
with sound frequencies.
557
00:31:43,708 --> 00:31:47,583
CHILDRESS:
What they're doing is putting
sound and vibration
558
00:31:47,708 --> 00:31:51,333
into a communication device
of some sort,
559
00:31:51,458 --> 00:31:53,292
but exactly what they're
trying to communicate
560
00:31:53,375 --> 00:31:56,125
to us is the big question.
561
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:58,958
NARRATOR:
Might extraterrestrials
562
00:31:59,042 --> 00:32:01,458
be trying to communicate
with humans through
563
00:32:01,583 --> 00:32:05,333
the visual representation
of certain sound frequencies?
564
00:32:06,458 --> 00:32:09,917
And could these images
have a subconscious effect
565
00:32:10,042 --> 00:32:12,167
on those who witness them?
566
00:32:12,250 --> 00:32:15,375
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes,
567
00:32:15,542 --> 00:32:18,458
and speculate that humans
could already
568
00:32:18,542 --> 00:32:22,833
be in the process of responding
to these otherworldly signals...
569
00:32:22,958 --> 00:32:25,333
without even knowing it.
570
00:32:29,833 --> 00:32:31,667
NARRATOR:
When Doug Bower and Dave Chorley
571
00:32:31,792 --> 00:32:33,750
came forward in 1991
572
00:32:33,875 --> 00:32:36,542
to admit that they had
been making crop circles
573
00:32:36,667 --> 00:32:40,292
throughout England,
they were labeled as hoaxers.
574
00:32:41,208 --> 00:32:43,875
But today,
creating designs in crops
575
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:48,542
has become an artform practiced
by people all over the world.
576
00:32:49,958 --> 00:32:52,333
WILLIAM RUSSELL:
Being an artist,
this seemed to sort of
577
00:32:52,417 --> 00:32:53,167
resonate that you could go out
578
00:32:53,333 --> 00:32:56,792
and you could make an artwork
579
00:32:56,917 --> 00:32:59,667
in a field, um, anonymously.
580
00:32:59,792 --> 00:33:03,167
I'd spend all night
making one of these things,
581
00:33:03,292 --> 00:33:05,500
and then in the morning,
it appears on the Internet.
582
00:33:05,583 --> 00:33:08,417
And from that,
it sort of gathers power.
583
00:33:08,542 --> 00:33:12,333
NARRATOR:
But while artists have
become increasingly proficient
584
00:33:12,417 --> 00:33:14,292
at making crop circles,
many of them say
585
00:33:14,417 --> 00:33:19,000
they still see formations
that defy explanation,
586
00:33:19,125 --> 00:33:21,375
and believe they
are carrying on the work
587
00:33:21,500 --> 00:33:24,917
started by
extraterrestrial beings.
588
00:33:26,125 --> 00:33:28,833
CHILDRESS:
With some of these
man-made crop circles
589
00:33:28,917 --> 00:33:32,208
the perpetrators will say
that they were inspired
590
00:33:32,375 --> 00:33:35,500
to create these crop circles.
591
00:33:35,667 --> 00:33:37,500
And they think
that extraterrestrials
592
00:33:37,625 --> 00:33:39,750
are somehow contacting them
593
00:33:39,875 --> 00:33:44,542
and influencing them
to go out and create these.
594
00:33:44,708 --> 00:33:46,750
I've been making circles
for over two decades
595
00:33:46,875 --> 00:33:50,250
mainly in and around Wiltshire,
but I'm not a skeptic.
596
00:33:50,375 --> 00:33:54,167
We've had some pretty
interesting experiences
597
00:33:54,292 --> 00:33:55,167
when we've been out
making circles
598
00:33:55,333 --> 00:33:57,625
that are inexplicable.
599
00:33:58,875 --> 00:34:02,417
RUSSELL:
You have experiences
which would lead you
600
00:34:02,542 --> 00:34:06,750
to think that you're being
shown things, such as
601
00:34:06,875 --> 00:34:10,250
flashes of light, or more
602
00:34:10,375 --> 00:34:12,958
extraordinary events
in the night sky.
603
00:34:13,958 --> 00:34:16,333
The strangest one,
we were leaving a field
604
00:34:16,458 --> 00:34:19,167
and there was a great big
white burst of light,
605
00:34:19,250 --> 00:34:20,833
enough to light
606
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:24,583
the whole area we were in
up for maybe a second.
607
00:34:24,708 --> 00:34:29,333
And exactly where I was looking
a big orange ball
608
00:34:29,417 --> 00:34:34,208
of light emanated from nothing
to a circular formation.
609
00:34:34,333 --> 00:34:36,917
And then blinked out.
610
00:34:37,750 --> 00:34:40,167
There's a rich
tradition with circle makers
611
00:34:40,292 --> 00:34:42,708
of us seeing strange lights.
612
00:34:42,833 --> 00:34:46,500
ROB IRVING:
What I will say is
that the first person
613
00:34:46,583 --> 00:34:51,708
I personally know
who made one, Doug Bower,
614
00:34:51,833 --> 00:34:54,667
made it on the back
of an existing phenomenon.
615
00:34:54,750 --> 00:34:59,750
So, the circles existed long
before human circle making.
616
00:35:02,375 --> 00:35:05,917
NARRATOR:
Some circle-makers not
only report being compelled
617
00:35:06,042 --> 00:35:09,792
to create crop formations,
but also claim to experience
618
00:35:09,875 --> 00:35:11,625
other mental anomalies.
619
00:35:12,958 --> 00:35:13,958
Monique Klinkenbergh
620
00:35:14,042 --> 00:35:17,167
of the Crop Circle Information
and Research Centre
621
00:35:17,333 --> 00:35:22,167
has personally experienced
what are known as "time slips."
622
00:35:22,292 --> 00:35:24,667
KLINKENBERGH:
We have people
losing track of time.
623
00:35:24,833 --> 00:35:26,667
It also happened to me once.
624
00:35:26,750 --> 00:35:30,125
It's very strange and, uh,
you are just blown away.
625
00:35:30,917 --> 00:35:34,542
I was in a car driving
towards an appointment,
626
00:35:34,667 --> 00:35:37,833
regarding crop circles.
627
00:35:37,917 --> 00:35:39,667
And I remember
628
00:35:39,792 --> 00:35:41,542
thinking, "Oh, my God,
I'm too late,
629
00:35:41,667 --> 00:35:43,083
I'm not gonna make it in time."
630
00:35:43,208 --> 00:35:45,583
The next thing I knew,
631
00:35:45,708 --> 00:35:48,167
I was on this parking lot.
632
00:35:48,333 --> 00:35:50,958
And I was very much in time.
633
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:56,208
There is a theory
that something out there
634
00:35:56,375 --> 00:35:58,000
is interacting
with our thoughts,
635
00:35:58,083 --> 00:36:02,917
so basically you can
request or wish
636
00:36:03,042 --> 00:36:06,833
for a formation to happen
and we did experiments with it
637
00:36:06,958 --> 00:36:11,125
and we have many, many reports
of people thinking or discussing
638
00:36:11,250 --> 00:36:16,583
a certain thing and then
it was manifested in the field.
639
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,333
NARRATOR: Similar to
the cymatic experiences
640
00:36:22,458 --> 00:36:24,333
of ancient tribes in Africa,
641
00:36:24,500 --> 00:36:26,833
and the mandalas of Hinduism,
642
00:36:26,958 --> 00:36:30,333
is it possible
that otherworldly beings
643
00:36:30,500 --> 00:36:32,125
are communicating with,
644
00:36:32,208 --> 00:36:34,500
and influencing humankind,
645
00:36:34,583 --> 00:36:37,667
through the creation
of crop circles?
646
00:36:37,792 --> 00:36:41,042
I've heard reports from some
of the circle makers
647
00:36:41,167 --> 00:36:43,583
that they've created
a whole crop circle,
648
00:36:43,708 --> 00:36:45,750
and they've gone back
to check it out the next day
649
00:36:45,875 --> 00:36:47,708
and extra elements
have even been added to it
650
00:36:47,833 --> 00:36:49,250
that none of them did.
651
00:36:50,375 --> 00:36:53,917
And so you have this
strange kind of connection, uh,
652
00:36:54,042 --> 00:36:57,458
like a human connection
between the mysterious forces
653
00:36:57,583 --> 00:36:59,958
that may have made
the original ones
654
00:37:00,083 --> 00:37:03,042
and the humans who
are making them today.
655
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,000
NARRATOR:
Could there be
a connection between
656
00:37:06,125 --> 00:37:09,833
circle-makers and
an extraterrestrial force?
657
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,500
And is there
direct communication,
658
00:37:12,625 --> 00:37:15,167
on a subconscious level,
that is guiding
659
00:37:15,250 --> 00:37:19,542
the designs and execution
of these elaborate formations?
660
00:37:19,667 --> 00:37:22,792
NEWMAN:
One of the things
was the makers would have
661
00:37:22,875 --> 00:37:26,042
visionary experiences
like when they were going out
662
00:37:26,167 --> 00:37:26,750
in the fields
and they would change
663
00:37:26,875 --> 00:37:29,542
their plans in the moment.
664
00:37:29,667 --> 00:37:31,958
And sometimes,
they would even turn up
665
00:37:32,083 --> 00:37:34,792
at a crop circle location
where they planned to make one
666
00:37:34,875 --> 00:37:36,375
and something had already
been created there
667
00:37:36,542 --> 00:37:37,833
before they got there.
668
00:37:37,917 --> 00:37:40,708
COLLINS:
Are the crop circle makers,
669
00:37:40,833 --> 00:37:43,792
the people who create
many of the formations,
670
00:37:43,875 --> 00:37:47,333
are they themselves inspired
671
00:37:47,417 --> 00:37:49,042
to create what they do?
672
00:37:49,208 --> 00:37:51,167
I think the answer is yes.
673
00:37:52,250 --> 00:37:54,917
NARRATOR:
Could it be that the most
shocking revelation
674
00:37:55,042 --> 00:37:57,333
regarding the crop circle
phenomenon
675
00:37:57,458 --> 00:37:59,208
is that even formations known
676
00:37:59,375 --> 00:38:04,000
to be man-made contain
an extraterrestrial message?
677
00:38:04,083 --> 00:38:06,833
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes,
678
00:38:06,917 --> 00:38:11,667
and point to recent disclosures
involving UFOs
679
00:38:11,833 --> 00:38:14,042
and the U.S. government.
680
00:38:25,375 --> 00:38:27,750
NARRATOR:
Near an old British
Royal Air Force base
681
00:38:27,875 --> 00:38:30,333
in the small hamlet
of Temple Balsall,
682
00:38:30,500 --> 00:38:33,708
an intricate crop circle
appears,
683
00:38:33,833 --> 00:38:35,583
featuring an eight-
and 16-pointed star
684
00:38:35,708 --> 00:38:38,208
around a central sun,
685
00:38:38,333 --> 00:38:41,292
alongside pyramids
and oval-shaped "helmets."
686
00:38:42,208 --> 00:38:45,542
Curiously, as researchers
attempt to investigate
687
00:38:45,708 --> 00:38:48,250
the formation, they are
prevented from doing so
688
00:38:48,375 --> 00:38:52,500
by the authorities,
leading many to question why.
689
00:38:52,625 --> 00:38:56,000
NICK POPE:
A lot of people can't help but
wonder whether the government
690
00:38:56,125 --> 00:38:59,625
and the military were as
curious as everyone else.
691
00:38:59,708 --> 00:39:01,708
There has been some
British government
692
00:39:01,833 --> 00:39:04,667
interest and activity on this.
693
00:39:04,750 --> 00:39:08,000
Questions were formally asked
694
00:39:08,083 --> 00:39:10,417
in the British parliament
about this.
695
00:39:10,542 --> 00:39:11,958
KLINKENBERGH:
What I do know for a fact,
696
00:39:12,083 --> 00:39:16,042
that I've once been
contacted by someone
697
00:39:16,167 --> 00:39:20,667
who said he was from the MI6
and he wanted to speak to me.
698
00:39:20,833 --> 00:39:23,000
But I had to come on my own,
699
00:39:23,167 --> 00:39:25,125
and it had to be under
the Chatham House Rule.
700
00:39:25,208 --> 00:39:29,083
That's meaning you have to
keep all the information inside.
701
00:39:29,208 --> 00:39:31,667
And that's the opposite
of what I want.
702
00:39:31,750 --> 00:39:34,708
I wanted transparency,
so I declined.
703
00:39:34,833 --> 00:39:37,667
But it makes you think,
why should a government
704
00:39:37,792 --> 00:39:40,292
want to talk to me
about crop circles?
705
00:39:41,500 --> 00:39:43,083
I just don't know.
706
00:39:44,375 --> 00:39:47,417
CHILDRESS:
Many of the crop circles
in England are happening
707
00:39:47,542 --> 00:39:49,458
near the Salisbury Plain,
708
00:39:49,583 --> 00:39:52,458
which is a big military area.
709
00:39:52,583 --> 00:39:55,833
So, that is curious in itself.
710
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,917
The high concentration
of crop circles
711
00:39:59,042 --> 00:40:02,000
is very close
to a military base.
712
00:40:02,125 --> 00:40:05,417
HENRY:
It's very conceivable that in
fact it's the British government
713
00:40:05,542 --> 00:40:08,500
that is involved in making
the man-made crop circles
714
00:40:08,583 --> 00:40:13,833
as a way to return the messages
that are coming from the stars.
715
00:40:15,292 --> 00:40:17,083
NARRATOR:
For more than 60 years,
716
00:40:17,208 --> 00:40:19,792
crop circles have made
headlines around the world.
717
00:40:19,917 --> 00:40:24,625
And during that time,
the United States, England,
718
00:40:24,708 --> 00:40:26,958
and other governments
have either ignored it
719
00:40:27,042 --> 00:40:28,958
or dismissed crop circles
720
00:40:29,042 --> 00:40:32,583
as nothing more
than elaborate hoaxes.
721
00:40:32,708 --> 00:40:34,750
But like with
the U.S. government's leaked
722
00:40:34,875 --> 00:40:39,042
investigation into
UAP activity in 2017,
723
00:40:39,167 --> 00:40:42,333
could a similar disclosure
concerning crop circles
724
00:40:42,417 --> 00:40:44,417
be on the horizon?
725
00:40:46,667 --> 00:40:48,125
CHILDRESS:
With crop circles,
726
00:40:48,208 --> 00:40:51,625
there has been always
this indication of...
727
00:40:51,750 --> 00:40:54,750
UFO or UAP activity.
728
00:40:55,792 --> 00:40:58,292
People are seeing lights,
they're seeing perhaps
729
00:40:58,417 --> 00:41:02,708
flying saucers and other things
flying around in this area.
730
00:41:02,833 --> 00:41:06,333
And perhaps with disclosure,
we'll eventually
731
00:41:06,458 --> 00:41:09,000
be told and we'll find an answer
732
00:41:09,083 --> 00:41:11,833
of why all these
crop circles are occurring.
733
00:41:12,208 --> 00:41:15,333
HENRY:
What I think we're seeing
in the crop circles
734
00:41:15,500 --> 00:41:17,042
is a calling card.
735
00:41:17,167 --> 00:41:18,792
It's a message from a higher
736
00:41:18,875 --> 00:41:22,292
intelligence that's asking us
to crack the code.
737
00:41:22,417 --> 00:41:24,833
And as we crack the code,
we're gonna undoubtedly develop
738
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:28,125
new technologies and new
abilities to communicate.
739
00:41:28,250 --> 00:41:30,958
Not just between ourselves,
but also with
740
00:41:31,083 --> 00:41:33,000
these higher intelligences.
741
00:41:34,667 --> 00:41:37,375
NARRATOR: Is it possible that
many of the crop circles
742
00:41:37,542 --> 00:41:39,833
found around the world
contain important messages
743
00:41:39,958 --> 00:41:43,833
left by
extraterrestrial visitors?
744
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,917
Are they attempting
to communicate
745
00:41:47,042 --> 00:41:49,917
critical warnings
about the future,
746
00:41:50,042 --> 00:41:53,458
profound truths
about the cosmos,
747
00:41:53,583 --> 00:41:58,000
and the keys to incredible
new technologies?
748
00:41:58,125 --> 00:42:01,000
Perhaps as more
formations are deciphered,
749
00:42:01,125 --> 00:42:04,417
we will continue to move
closer to a reconnection
750
00:42:04,542 --> 00:42:06,292
with our alien ancestors.
751
