I went to a lecture at the Free Library of Philadelphia back in 2002 on Crop Circles. At that time, I may have heard something about them in the past, but nothing that stuck, but for some reason, I was drawn to this lecture featuring one of the top researchers on the subject Linda Moulton Howe. She had recently published a book called "Mysterious Lights and Crop Circles". After the lecture, I immediately purchased her book which she signed. I got home and proceeded to read it cover to cover.
I told myself I was going to go to the English countryside of Wiltshire where so many of the formations are found each summer. That I was going to camp out in hopes of witnessing the phenomenon with my own two eyes. But of course I never did that. I don't camp. And I don't do adventuress things. Although, I did get to go to Stonehenge summer of 2018 at the crack of dawn on the Summer Solstice. The only time visitors are allowed to actually touch the stones and be inside the formation. I did this because I'm interested in most things mystical in nature, but particularly whenever the words Crop Circles comes up, my radar is activated; so when I got the October Coast Newsletter of upcoming films, I immediately requested a screener for the documentary "Crop Circle Realities" by Writer/Director: Darcy Weir and Writer/Narrator: Geoffrey D. Calhoun.
I always find it strange that the Global "We" don't talk more about Crop Circles in general. I remember that same year (2002) M. Night Shyamalan's "Signs" came out and I thought it would be an intriguing, spiritual look at the mystery, but it barely touches on Crop Circles. There's always talk of the Grey type aliens and alien abductions, Roswell, but here's real evidence that life from elsewhere is trying to communicate with us through mathematics, art and food and yet most dismiss it as a hoax and a lot of people know nothing about it.
How can some people believe that humans go out in the middle of the night, where there's no streetlight around and no way to bring that much electricity without someone seeing it, yet managed to create a perfect big complex crop-circle within the hours of darkness... How on earth do they manage and not even a dog awakens to bark? And until this day no one has been caught in the act. Are they so clever to be nearly invisible? What great tools allow them to work so swiftly? And what's the benefit? For that much work would typically be at the interest to make money or hubris to show your art. So no fame, no glory. Just entering pitch dark fields for fun, year after year...
This documentary by Occult Journeys Productions shows us image upon incredible image of the circles over the last two decades or more. We hear stories from individuals who have witnessed a field go from normal to Crop Circled in less then a night. We hear the opinions of experts like Stephen Bassett the executive director of Paradigm Research Group (PRG) founded in 1996 to end a government imposed embargo on the truth behind extraterrestrial related phenomena. Historian Gary King takes us inside the center of the circles describing the molecular structure changes in the crops. Also clips of Journalist Jaime Maussan, who frequently reports on this unexplained phenomenon. The film covers both sides of the argument, but like me, clearly feels strongly these messages are of great importance, indicating a warning to all mankind on Earth. Let's just hope we one day stop questioning and start listening.
