November 26, 1991 CIRCLES2.ASC -------------------------------------------------------------------- This file shared with KeelyNet courtesy of Jim Shaffer. -------------------------------------------------------------------- From : [email protected] (Sheldon Wernikoff) Subject: 1991 Crop Circles Date : 21 Oct 91 03:08:00 GMT Michael Chorost, Director of North American Circle, P.O. Box 61144 Durham, NC 27715-1144 has just sent me a copy of his latest report entitled _The Summer 1991 Crop Circles: The Data Emerges_, published by the Fund for UFO Research, P.O. Box 277, Mt. Ranier, MD 20712. What follows is extracted from his report. Marshall Dudley believes he has identified yttrium-88 and bismuth- 205 in soil samples taken from the oval formation at Beckhampton, U.K. formed on August 2/3, 1991. These are non-naturally occurring short-lived isotopes, so their presence, once confirmed, will be of great interest. (Y-88's half- life is 107 days; Bi-205's is 15.3 days.) The samples also registered sky-high alpha/beta particle readings of 198% / 45% respectively when compared to control samples. Dudley is a systems engineer for Tennelec/Nucleus of Oak Ridge, TN, and manufactures gas flow counters, which are instruments designed to detect extremely minute quantities of alpha and beta radiation. Dr. W.C. Levengood, a biophysicist living in Michigan, specializing in plant and seed development, has also made some remarkable discoveries. One was that the growth nodes on plants taken from within authentic circles had become significantly enlarged when compared to control plants. He hypothesizes that some energy input, possibly heat, caused the cells in those nodes to swell, causing lasting but not fatal damage. Mechanically hoaxed circles did not exhibit the same effect. Secondly, Levengood discovered a high incidence (40%) of seed malformation in plants taken from the Newton St. Loe formation, whereas virtually all control seeds were normal. Thirdly, microscopic examination of the node cells revealed that the pits in their cell walls had become larger and more visible. This is what Levengood hypothesizes would occur if something heated the Page 1 water inside the cells so rapidly that the cell walls swelled and forced the pits to expand. Michael also mentions the plasma vortex quintuplet sets that I have observed, photographed/video-taped, and previously posted applicable documentation about on this echo. There is much more information and substantiation in Michaels report, which I would be happy to share with those interested. Michael's conclusions are summarized as follows: 1) The phenomenon induces radiation anomalies. 2) It appears the plants are heated both rapidly and briefly. 3) Plants are sometimes scorched, particularly grasses. 4) Plant cell walls swell, elongating cell wall pits, leaving "stretch marks". 5) Induced developmental anomalies in seeds. 6) The circles may correlate with aquifers (water saturated rocks such as chalk and limestone) 7) The circles do correlate, at least grossly, with ancient megaliths. 8) The quintuplet may be artificially duplicable. 9) Hoaxes may be able to be distinguished from genuine circles with laboratory tests. 10) Some formations may represent or symbolize known objects. 11) The circles do correlate geographically with some well documented sightings of unidentified luminous aerial objects.

We suggest you read CIRCLES1.ASC on KeelyNet and you will see many tie-ins with our hypothesis that the circles are caused by precisely directed UV lasers in micro-bursts to cause DNA denaturation, heating, stretch marks from heat induced expansion, anomalies in the form of low level mutation, etc.. -------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have comments or other information relating to such topics as this paper covers, please upload to KeelyNet or send to the Vangard Sciences address as listed on the first page.
