Crop fields
all across the world.
3
00:00:05,322 --> 00:00:08,323
You've got these
magnificent works
4
00:00:08,417 --> 00:00:11,343
That span hundreds of feet.
5
00:00:11,570 --> 00:00:14,179
Narrator: Their origins
often defy explanation.
6
00:00:14,331 --> 00:00:18,425
Andrew collins:
Scientists have found evidence
7
00:00:18,519 --> 00:00:20,853
That microwave radiation
8
00:00:21,080 --> 00:00:24,672
Was present when
the crop circle was formed.
9
00:00:24,767 --> 00:00:27,860
Narrator:
Many believe that these
formations are connected
10
00:00:28,011 --> 00:00:30,845
To visitations
by otherworldly beings.
11
00:00:30,939 --> 00:00:34,682
Giorgio a. Tsoukalos: People
have reported seeing lights
12
00:00:34,702 --> 00:00:37,519
Above a field and then
within five minutes,
13
00:00:37,613 --> 00:00:39,354
There is a crop circle.
14
00:00:39,373 --> 00:00:43,024
Narrator: But if so,
what is their purpose?
15
00:00:43,044 --> 00:00:46,103
David childress:
Is it extraterrestrials
trying to communicate with us?
16
00:00:46,121 --> 00:00:48,714
Trying to show us
17
00:00:48,941 --> 00:00:52,626
Certain cosmic truths
that they want us to know?
18
00:00:52,778 --> 00:00:54,869
Jerry kroth:
These are messages,
19
00:00:54,889 --> 00:00:55,203
And they're important.

21
00:00:59,060 --> 00:01:02,478
Narrator:
There is a doorway
in the universe...
22
00:01:03,547 --> 00:01:06,899
Beyond it
is the promise of truth.
23
00:01:07,884 --> 00:01:10,477
It demands
we question everything
24
00:01:10,629 --> 00:01:13,130
We have ever been taught.
25
00:01:13,223 --> 00:01:16,650
The evidence is all around us.
26
00:01:16,802 --> 00:01:19,152
The future

We have never been alone.
29
00:01:39,934 --> 00:01:44,394
Narrator:
A mysterious formation emerges
in a field of mustard plants.
30
00:01:45,831 --> 00:01:49,090
The perfectly symmetrical
design is a phenomenon
31
00:01:49,184 --> 00:01:50,859
Known as a crop circle.
32
00:01:52,187 --> 00:01:55,948
And it is just one of
many strange patterns
33
00:01:56,099 --> 00:01:59,284
That appear in the english
countryside every year.
34
00:02:01,104 --> 00:02:02,437
Mark olly:
Crop circles are
35
00:02:02,531 --> 00:02:05,349
Basically, um, features,
designs,
36
00:02:05,442 --> 00:02:10,278
Illustrations of
high complexity in crops.
37
00:02:10,297 --> 00:02:14,466
They tend to be complicated
designs of unknown origin.
38
00:02:14,618 --> 00:02:17,619
Richard taylor:
In terms of the patterns
themselves,
39
00:02:17,713 --> 00:02:19,696
They've been undergoing
this amazing
40
00:02:19,789 --> 00:02:21,789
Sort of ramp-up
in sophistication.
41
00:02:21,809 --> 00:02:26,311
You can find these huge--
what they call pictographs--
42
00:02:26,538 --> 00:02:29,373
That span hundreds of feet
across a whole field,
43
00:02:29,466 --> 00:02:32,209
And feature multiple components.
44
00:02:33,212 --> 00:02:35,970
And they're arranged
with mathematical precision.
45
00:02:37,140 --> 00:02:40,492
Crop circles appear
in more than 50 countries.
46
00:02:40,719 --> 00:02:43,737
And there literally
have been thousands of them.
47
00:02:43,831 --> 00:02:46,890
Maybe over 10,000 crop circles
48
00:02:46,983 --> 00:02:50,318
That we're aware of
in the modern era.
49
00:02:51,413 --> 00:02:55,399
Narrator:
Today, thousands of people
visit these formations,
50
00:02:55,417 --> 00:02:59,569
Including researchers who take
measurements of the patterns,
51
00:02:59,663 --> 00:03:02,572
Collect stalks and soil samples,
52
00:03:02,666 --> 00:03:06,076
And record aerial images
for further study.
53
00:03:07,095 --> 00:03:09,837
Documentation of these
mysterious impressions
54
00:03:09,932 --> 00:03:12,173
May also include
eyewitness accounts
55
00:03:12,267 --> 00:03:16,102
Of strange lights and objects
seen around the same time
56
00:03:16,197 --> 00:03:18,422
A crop circle appears.
57
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:23,927
Such accounts have been widely
reported since the mid-1960s.
58
00:03:23,946 --> 00:03:27,206
The first modern example
of the discovery
59
00:03:27,433 --> 00:03:29,691
Of a crop circle
actually being made
60
00:03:29,710 --> 00:03:32,544
Was by george pedley
in 1966 in australia.
61
00:03:32,771 --> 00:03:37,031
What george pedley saw
was an object
62
00:03:37,125 --> 00:03:39,443
Rising out of a lagoon.
63
00:03:39,461 --> 00:03:43,447
And then the object-- he
couldn't tell how they did it--
64
00:03:43,540 --> 00:03:46,874
The object actually
made a pattern
65
00:03:46,894 --> 00:03:49,119
In the foliage in the lagoon,
66
00:03:49,212 --> 00:03:52,555
A geometric pattern
from that object.
67
00:03:53,625 --> 00:03:55,809
Henry:
He finds a circular area where
68
00:03:55,903 --> 00:04:00,146
The grass in the swamp
or the reeds are matted down.
69
00:04:00,241 --> 00:04:02,741
This is reported in
the australian press,
70
00:04:02,968 --> 00:04:05,151
And they start labeling
these ufo nests,
71
00:04:05,304 --> 00:04:08,138
Or flying saucer nests.
72
00:04:09,157 --> 00:04:11,399
Narrator:
While crop circles
have been documented
73
00:04:11,493 --> 00:04:13,159
For more than 60 years,
74
00:04:13,254 --> 00:04:16,480
There is evidence that
these mysterious formations
75
00:04:16,498 --> 00:04:20,550
Have been appearing in
farmers' fields for centuries.
76
00:04:26,325 --> 00:04:29,601
A woodcut pamphlet
called "the mowing-devil"
77
00:04:29,828 --> 00:04:32,496
Is published that portrays
a devilish figure
78
00:04:32,589 --> 00:04:35,274
Creating a circle
in a field of oats.
79
00:04:35,501 --> 00:04:38,518
Collins:
It refers to
a supposedly true story
80
00:04:38,670 --> 00:04:44,691
Of a farmer that saw these
mysterious lights in a field,
81
00:04:44,785 --> 00:04:47,452
And the next morning,
when he went out there,
82
00:04:47,604 --> 00:04:51,681
He found these circular
depressions in his land.
83
00:04:51,775 --> 00:04:54,108
You know,
actually within the crop.
84
00:04:54,128 --> 00:04:56,019
Taylor:
The stalks weren't broken,
85
00:04:56,112 --> 00:04:57,796
But they were folded over.
86
00:04:58,023 --> 00:04:59,372
And people even started
to blame the devil,
87
00:04:59,525 --> 00:05:02,450
What was called
the-the "mowing-devil."
88
00:05:02,469 --> 00:05:05,804
Narrator:
While the mowing-devil
woodcut attributed
89
00:05:06,031 --> 00:05:09,308
The mysterious crop formation
to an evil entity,
90
00:05:09,459 --> 00:05:13,537
200 years later,
english scientist john capron
91
00:05:13,555 --> 00:05:18,875
Applied a scientific analysis
to what he witnessed in 1880,
92
00:05:18,968 --> 00:05:20,485
When he proposed
that a "cyclonic wind
93
00:05:20,712 --> 00:05:23,471
Of unknown origin"
created perfectly circular
94
00:05:23,565 --> 00:05:27,308
Patches of flattened crops.
95
00:05:27,402 --> 00:05:31,555
Capron might be the first person
to connect crop circles
96
00:05:31,648 --> 00:05:33,557
To what we today call uaps
or-or ufos,
97
00:05:33,650 --> 00:05:37,318
Because he's describing
some kind of a whirlwind
98
00:05:37,338 --> 00:05:39,396
That is coming out of the sky
99
00:05:39,414 --> 00:05:42,007
And is having this effect
on the ground.
100
00:05:42,234 --> 00:05:44,468
It's creating what
we call a crop circle.
101
00:05:46,513 --> 00:05:50,757
Narrator:
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest that these incidents,
102
00:05:50,909 --> 00:05:53,668
Along with modern
crop circle accounts,
103
00:05:53,687 --> 00:05:56,746
Provide evidence that
these strange formations
104
00:05:56,765 --> 00:06:00,859
May be connected to visitations
by otherworldly beings.
105
00:06:01,862 --> 00:06:05,939
The eyewitnesses who have
reported seeing crop circles
106
00:06:06,033 --> 00:06:08,683
Manifest have described
some extraordinary phenomena.
107
00:06:08,702 --> 00:06:11,611
They describe tubes of light,
108
00:06:11,705 --> 00:06:13,521
Swirling beams of light.
109
00:06:13,540 --> 00:06:16,766
Very famously back in the 1990s,
110
00:06:16,860 --> 00:06:18,877
There was, uh, balls of light
111
00:06:19,028 --> 00:06:21,955
Flying across a field
that were actually seen
112
00:06:22,049 --> 00:06:24,049
To lay the crops flat.
113
00:06:24,276 --> 00:06:26,126
And within a space of
only a couple of minutes
114
00:06:26,220 --> 00:06:29,370
They were filmed actually
producing one of those designs.
115
00:06:29,390 --> 00:06:33,466
Narrator:
Many researchers suggest
there are now enough reports
116
00:06:33,619 --> 00:06:36,786
Of unusual activity
around crop circles to disprove
117
00:06:36,805 --> 00:06:41,233
A highly publicized claim
made over 30 years ago
118
00:06:41,384 --> 00:06:44,403
That all such formations
are man-made.
119
00:06:45,797 --> 00:06:47,631
The ministry of defence
in the u.K. Started
120
00:06:47,649 --> 00:06:49,633
Looking at the crop circle
mystery in
121
00:06:49,726 --> 00:06:53,153
The late '80s
and the early '90s.
122
00:06:53,305 --> 00:06:59,476
And in 1991, two men came
forward and said that they had
123
00:06:59,494 --> 00:07:02,254
Been responsible for the entire
crop circle phenomenon.
124
00:07:02,405 --> 00:07:06,258
Doug bower and dave chorley
said we fooled the world.
125
00:07:06,485 --> 00:07:08,652
We've been making
these things for years.
126
00:07:08,745 --> 00:07:11,504
Narrator:
For much of the general public,
127
00:07:11,598 --> 00:07:14,991
Doug and dave's claim of
creating the mysterious giant
128
00:07:15,010 --> 00:07:18,995
Patterns reinforced the belief
that crop circles were a hoax.
129
00:07:19,014 --> 00:07:22,666
Yet the frequent appearance of
crop circles around the world,
130
00:07:22,759 --> 00:07:26,686
And the geometric detail
found in many patterns,
131
00:07:26,780 --> 00:07:31,098
Left researchers with numerous
questions about how two men
132
00:07:31,193 --> 00:07:34,435
Could possibly be responsible
for the global phenomenon.
133
00:07:35,605 --> 00:07:38,198
Collins:
Doug and dave said,
"we have created
134
00:07:38,292 --> 00:07:42,202
"all of these formations
just using planks of wood
135
00:07:42,296 --> 00:07:43,778
And lengths of rope."
136
00:07:43,797 --> 00:07:45,464
But there are
137
00:07:45,691 --> 00:07:49,450
Thousands and thousands
of crop formations.
138
00:07:49,544 --> 00:07:53,972
And it cannot possibly
be that two men made them all.
139
00:07:56,125 --> 00:07:58,810
Howe:
They were in what
I consider to be
140
00:07:59,037 --> 00:08:00,553
The counterintelligence
units that were trying,
141
00:08:00,647 --> 00:08:04,207
Uh, to make everybody go away
142
00:08:04,300 --> 00:08:06,226
And not take
crop formations seriously.
143
00:08:06,378 --> 00:08:09,879
In their own admission,
which they said,
144
00:08:09,898 --> 00:08:12,398
"we made the formations
in hampshire
145
00:08:12,551 --> 00:08:14,551
And we made the formations
in wiltshire."
146
00:08:14,644 --> 00:08:17,496
Well, there had been
formations in many
147
00:08:17,723 --> 00:08:21,333
Parts of England,
let alone 22 other countries.
148
00:08:21,484 --> 00:08:24,894
And on their demonstration
149
00:08:24,913 --> 00:08:27,747
Of how they made
their formation,
150
00:08:27,841 --> 00:08:28,898
They were off-kilter.
151
00:08:28,917 --> 00:08:31,901
And for those of us
who have been
152
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,830
In real crop formations,
there's just no comparison.
153
00:08:35,924 --> 00:08:38,350
Let's say that you're tired.
154
00:08:38,577 --> 00:08:42,354
And you make one step
into that crop formation
155
00:08:42,581 --> 00:08:45,582
And it is as if
you've entered into
156
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:50,103
A completely different
space, energy, frequency.
157
00:08:50,847 --> 00:08:53,014
Tsoukalos:
The way you can tell
158
00:08:53,033 --> 00:08:56,034
That it's a man-made circle is
159
00:08:56,261 --> 00:08:58,870
As you use the boards
to push everything down,
160
00:08:59,097 --> 00:09:02,874
Not only are the stalks
sometimes broken,
161
00:09:03,101 --> 00:09:05,860
But they're in
complete disarray.
162
00:09:05,954 --> 00:09:09,439
In one that's not man-made,
163
00:09:09,457 --> 00:09:13,885
You can see that
the stalks are sometimes
164
00:09:14,112 --> 00:09:17,297
Braided and intertwined
with each other.
165
00:09:17,391 --> 00:09:21,709
So many formations
had braids, and no creases.
166
00:09:21,803 --> 00:09:26,213
Try as a human
to do that with wheat.
167
00:09:27,717 --> 00:09:31,461
Monique klinkenbergh:
We have 300-plus
eyewitnesses of seeing
168
00:09:31,554 --> 00:09:32,720
An authentic crop circle form.
169
00:09:32,739 --> 00:09:35,240
And they have one
thing in common:
170
00:09:35,391 --> 00:09:38,635
They see the flattening
of the crop happening
171
00:09:38,653 --> 00:09:40,561
In a matter of minutes,
172
00:09:40,655 --> 00:09:44,974
Or even seconds, by this
mysterious force or source.
173
00:09:45,068 --> 00:09:46,734
Sometimes,
there are light phenomena
174
00:09:46,828 --> 00:09:50,738
And sometimes strange sounds...
175
00:09:50,757 --> 00:09:53,833
But it happens in just
176
00:09:53,985 --> 00:09:55,510
A very short time span.
177
00:09:56,930 --> 00:10:00,265
Sometimes, there is a mist
hanging above the field,
178
00:10:00,416 --> 00:10:03,843
The mist is gone,
and there is the formation.
179
00:10:03,937 --> 00:10:06,012
So, the question then arises:
180
00:10:06,106 --> 00:10:08,181
How was that done?
181
00:10:08,275 --> 00:10:09,524
And who did it?
182
00:10:11,002 --> 00:10:12,760
Narrator:
Do these eyewitness
accounts offer
183
00:10:12,779 --> 00:10:16,840
Compelling evidence
that extraterrestrials
184
00:10:16,858 --> 00:10:19,859
Could be responsible for
the crop circle phenomenon?
185
00:10:19,953 --> 00:10:24,030
If so, what is their purpose?
186
00:10:24,124 --> 00:10:27,183
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest that the answers
187
00:10:27,202 --> 00:10:30,795
May be encoded within
the crop circles themselves...
188
00:10:30,947 --> 00:10:34,215
And might have critical
implications for mankind.
189
00:10:44,794 --> 00:10:46,645
Narrator:
U.S. Billionaire
and philanthropist
190
00:10:46,872 --> 00:10:50,482
Laurance rockefeller
establishes a grant
191
00:10:50,709 --> 00:10:53,393
To assist with
one of the largest studies
192
00:10:53,545 --> 00:10:56,321
Of crop circles in history.
193
00:10:56,548 --> 00:10:59,382
The donation reflects
the growing interest
194
00:10:59,475 --> 00:11:02,568
In the scientific study
of how and why
195
00:11:02,721 --> 00:11:04,996
Crop circles are created.
196
00:11:06,333 --> 00:11:09,668
There was a scientist
by the name of w.C. Levengood
197
00:11:09,819 --> 00:11:12,486
Who did some very, very
interesting work, uh,
198
00:11:12,506 --> 00:11:15,173
At various sites
in southern England
199
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,659
Where crop circles
appeared in the 1990s.
200
00:11:18,753 --> 00:11:23,907
And he found some very
strange things were going on.
201
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,076
For instance, he found
that some of the stalks
202
00:11:27,095 --> 00:11:31,005
Were blowing out,
203
00:11:31,024 --> 00:11:34,341
Which he felt
was only replicable
204
00:11:34,436 --> 00:11:37,344
By microwave radiation.
205
00:11:37,364 --> 00:11:41,515
Levengood also found traces of
206
00:11:41,609 --> 00:11:43,593
Other forms of radiation.
207
00:11:44,596 --> 00:11:49,207
And he even found
that some of the corn
208
00:11:49,358 --> 00:11:53,786
Would yield much better growth
if it was actually taken
209
00:11:53,939 --> 00:11:57,698
From a crop circle formation.
210
00:11:59,294 --> 00:12:04,038
Tsoukalos:
Dr. Levengood, he noticed
that inside the crop circle
211
00:12:04,057 --> 00:12:06,891
The growth rate
was five times as fast
212
00:12:07,118 --> 00:12:10,303
Than what's going on
outside of that crop circle.
213
00:12:10,455 --> 00:12:12,789
And when he investigated this,
214
00:12:12,807 --> 00:12:15,641
He actually came up
with a technique called
215
00:12:15,794 --> 00:12:18,403
Molecular impulse response.
216
00:12:19,573 --> 00:12:21,573
Henry:
From this study he was able to
217
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,984
Do a bit of reverse
engineering, and he created
218
00:12:25,136 --> 00:12:26,986
Electrical pulse technology
219
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:31,065
That is actually used
to accelerate plant growth.
220
00:12:31,159 --> 00:12:35,420
Narrator:
Scientists were astounded
that the radiation research
221
00:12:35,571 --> 00:12:39,758
Of crop circles led to new
innovations in plant growth.
222
00:12:39,985 --> 00:12:43,077
Radiation was also
believed to be the source
223
00:12:43,171 --> 00:12:45,505
Of so-called "ghost formations"
224
00:12:45,599 --> 00:12:48,266
Where the stark impression
of a crop circle
225
00:12:48,417 --> 00:12:51,853
Appears long after
the field has been cleared.
226
00:12:54,107 --> 00:12:57,683
Taylor:
There's photographic
evidence of many examples,
227
00:12:57,836 --> 00:12:59,352
Where people have turned up
228
00:12:59,504 --> 00:13:02,021
After the farmer has
harvested the crop,
229
00:13:02,115 --> 00:13:04,431
And they can still see
230
00:13:04,451 --> 00:13:07,176
Elements of the design
persisting.
231
00:13:08,121 --> 00:13:11,364
Several people have
come forward to claim
232
00:13:11,516 --> 00:13:13,850
That they actually witnessed
233
00:13:13,943 --> 00:13:17,687
Mysterious lights--
ufos, uaps--
234
00:13:17,780 --> 00:13:20,873
In the vicinity
of a particular field
235
00:13:20,967 --> 00:13:23,117
And then the next day,
236
00:13:23,136 --> 00:13:25,378
Crop circles are actually found.
237
00:13:25,530 --> 00:13:27,530
So, what is the relationship
238
00:13:27,549 --> 00:13:30,366
Between these mysterious
globes of light
239
00:13:30,385 --> 00:13:34,720
And ghost formations
revealing this negative
240
00:13:34,873 --> 00:13:38,132
Of the crop formation that had
been there the previous year?
241
00:13:38,151 --> 00:13:41,135
Narrator:
For ancient astronaut theorists,
242
00:13:41,154 --> 00:13:43,822
The appearance
of aerial phenomena,
243
00:13:43,973 --> 00:13:47,641
Along with the emergence of
ghostly pre-existing patterns,
244
00:13:47,735 --> 00:13:51,737
Supports the theory that some
crop circles are not man-made,
245
00:13:51,832 --> 00:13:55,983
But instead could be
an extraterrestrial creation.
246
00:13:56,002 --> 00:13:59,653
And they point
to specific features
247
00:13:59,673 --> 00:14:03,424
In certain formations
that may explain their purpose.
248
00:14:10,091 --> 00:14:13,017
A crop circle bearing the image
249
00:14:13,244 --> 00:14:16,503
Of a strange figure
emerges in a wheat field.
250
00:14:16,523 --> 00:14:20,024
At its base is
a disc-shaped object
251
00:14:20,176 --> 00:14:23,269
Containing what some believe
to be binary code,
252
00:14:23,363 --> 00:14:28,182
A computer language
consisting of ones and zeros.
253
00:14:28,201 --> 00:14:31,277
It wasn't one of these
breathtaking geometries,
254
00:14:31,429 --> 00:14:33,096
But it was highly mysterious
255
00:14:33,189 --> 00:14:35,540
And here is what happened.
256
00:14:36,543 --> 00:14:39,952
In 2002 comes
this enormous image
257
00:14:40,105 --> 00:14:43,197
Of what you would have to call
258
00:14:43,216 --> 00:14:46,533
The typical world's
interpretation
259
00:14:46,553 --> 00:14:52,131
Of a grey alien being
now holding a disc.
260
00:14:52,225 --> 00:14:56,227
It's binary code
that had to be translated.
261
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,881
Narrator:
The binary code depicted
in the crop formation
262
00:15:00,901 --> 00:15:02,716
Was translated as,
263
00:15:02,736 --> 00:15:03,976
"beware the bearers
of false gifts
264
00:15:04,129 --> 00:15:06,887
"and their broken promises.
265
00:15:06,981 --> 00:15:11,300
"much pain, but still time.
There is good out there.
266
00:15:11,319 --> 00:15:15,321
We oppose deception.
Conduit closing."
267
00:15:15,473 --> 00:15:18,732
There is much happening here
268
00:15:18,826 --> 00:15:22,645
That is profound, is important,
269
00:15:22,664 --> 00:15:24,664
And we better pay attention
270
00:15:24,816 --> 00:15:27,166
Because it means
that there is something
271
00:15:27,260 --> 00:15:30,002
That is non-human that
is trying to convince us
272
00:15:30,155 --> 00:15:33,506
That this was the genuine
intelligence behind
273
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,251
The crop formations and that
it was depicting itself
274
00:15:37,345 --> 00:15:39,829
As a grey and transmitting
275
00:15:39,847 --> 00:15:41,422
In binary code.
276
00:15:41,441 --> 00:15:45,944
Narrator:
Could the binary code
depicted in this crop formation
277
00:15:46,095 --> 00:15:51,023
Contain an otherworldly message
sent to assist humankind?
278
00:15:51,117 --> 00:15:54,768
Perhaps clues can be found in
another remarkable crop circle,
279
00:15:54,788 --> 00:15:57,363
One that appears
to be responding
280
00:15:57,515 --> 00:15:59,624
To a message from earth.
281
00:16:08,451 --> 00:16:10,969
Astronomers at seti,
282
00:16:11,196 --> 00:16:14,046
The search for extraterrestrial
intelligence,
283
00:16:14,140 --> 00:16:18,309
Aim the world's largest radio
telescope at a cluster of stars
284
00:16:18,461 --> 00:16:23,039
25,000 light-years from earth
and transmit a message.
285
00:16:23,057 --> 00:16:26,209
It contains binary-
encoded information
286
00:16:26,302 --> 00:16:29,045
Including the numbers
one through ten,
287
00:16:29,138 --> 00:16:32,806
An image of human dna,
a human figure,
288
00:16:32,826 --> 00:16:34,975
And a graphic
of the solar system,
289
00:16:34,995 --> 00:16:37,903
Highlighting
the position of earth.
290
00:16:38,056 --> 00:16:43,001
Remarkably, almost 26 years
after the arecibo transmission,
291
00:16:43,152 --> 00:16:47,396
A crop circle nearly identical
to the seti binary message
292
00:16:47,415 --> 00:16:50,091
Appears in a field in
hampshire county, England.
293
00:16:52,086 --> 00:16:53,511
Henry:
The formation that
appeared next to
294
00:16:53,738 --> 00:16:56,330
The chilbolton radio
observatory in 2001
295
00:16:56,349 --> 00:16:58,499
Echoed the message sent by seti,
296
00:16:58,593 --> 00:17:01,260
But it seemed to show
a different system of planets,
297
00:17:01,412 --> 00:17:04,096
Suggesting that it's
a different solar system.
298
00:17:04,190 --> 00:17:07,250
The dna was not double helix
and instead of a human,
299
00:17:07,343 --> 00:17:12,605
We see a humanoid being with a
larger head and a smaller body.
300
00:17:13,700 --> 00:17:16,367
This was clearly a message
and perhaps even a response
301
00:17:16,519 --> 00:17:18,453
To the message
transmitted by seti.
302
00:17:20,281 --> 00:17:23,357
Narrator:
Could the crop circle that
appeared in hampshire, England
303
00:17:23,376 --> 00:17:25,768
Have been an
extraterrestrial response
304
00:17:25,787 --> 00:17:27,712
To seti's arecibo message?
305
00:17:28,956 --> 00:17:32,108
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes
306
00:17:32,126 --> 00:17:34,368
And suggest the formations
307
00:17:34,462 --> 00:17:37,296
That appeared in both hampshire
and winchester, England
308
00:17:37,448 --> 00:17:40,558
Might also provide clues
about how to communicate
309
00:17:40,709 --> 00:17:42,393
With alien beings.
310
00:17:44,472 --> 00:17:48,733
If these two formations
were made by extraterrestrials,
311
00:17:48,884 --> 00:17:52,311
One possible interpretation
is they were telling us we were
312
00:17:52,405 --> 00:17:54,980
On the right track
with the message beamed
313
00:17:55,075 --> 00:17:57,483
From arecibo in 1974,
314
00:17:57,635 --> 00:18:00,303
That binary code and mathematics
315
00:18:00,396 --> 00:18:03,414
More generally is
the language of the cosmos.
316
00:18:03,641 --> 00:18:05,658
And that's how to
communicate with them.
317
00:18:07,069 --> 00:18:10,088
Narrator:
Researchers suggest
that while the formations
318
00:18:10,239 --> 00:18:12,256
That included binary code
appeared to be attempts
319
00:18:12,408 --> 00:18:16,743
By otherworldly beings to
communicate with humans...
320
00:18:16,763 --> 00:18:20,414
Other crop circles contain
much more complex messages
321
00:18:20,508 --> 00:18:22,433
And instructions.
322
00:18:22,660 --> 00:18:25,010
And they believe that
further clues can be found
323
00:18:25,105 --> 00:18:29,107
By examining a curious formation
in wiltshire, England
324
00:18:29,334 --> 00:18:32,568
That contains
a depiction of a wormhole.
325
00:18:37,617 --> 00:18:39,099
Narrator:
Wiltshire, England.
326
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:43,346
July 13, 2011.
327
00:18:43,364 --> 00:18:46,958
A crop formation featuring
two connected spirals
328
00:18:47,109 --> 00:18:49,443
Appears on
a prehistoric earthwork
329
00:18:49,537 --> 00:18:51,278
Known as windmill hill.
330
00:18:51,297 --> 00:18:55,858
The same day, another formation
with a circular design
331
00:18:55,951 --> 00:18:58,636
Appears 20 miles
directly to the south,
332
00:18:58,863 --> 00:19:02,140
At the ancient megalithic
site of stonehenge.
333
00:19:04,051 --> 00:19:06,460
Intrigued by the appearance
of two crop circles
334
00:19:06,479 --> 00:19:08,980
On the same day,
and in the same area,
335
00:19:09,131 --> 00:19:10,648
At two historic sites,
336
00:19:10,875 --> 00:19:13,893
Researcher jerry kroth
studies them
337
00:19:13,987 --> 00:19:17,321
To see if any other
similarities are apparent.
338
00:19:19,066 --> 00:19:20,807
So, I see these two formations.
339
00:19:20,902 --> 00:19:23,052
They occur on the same day
340
00:19:23,070 --> 00:19:24,403
And I said how far are they?
341
00:19:24,497 --> 00:19:26,664
20 miles apart.
342
00:19:26,815 --> 00:19:30,001
I said, well, maybe put
those things together,
343
00:19:30,152 --> 00:19:31,394
And I said, "oh, my god.
344
00:19:31,412 --> 00:19:33,171
There's a 3d element here."
345
00:19:34,415 --> 00:19:38,567
If you look at a neutron star,
it looks like the crop circle
346
00:19:38,661 --> 00:19:41,086
With magnetic fields as those
347
00:19:41,239 --> 00:19:43,497
Swirling things
and the stars in the middle.
348
00:19:43,516 --> 00:19:45,908
So, I thought maybe
that's a neutron star.
349
00:19:45,927 --> 00:19:50,504
Do you know how wide
a neutron star is? 38 miles.
350
00:19:50,523 --> 00:19:54,025
Like how could a star
be 38 miles in diameter?
351
00:19:54,176 --> 00:19:56,152
Because it's so dense.
352
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:01,032
And neutron stars
sometimes collide.
353
00:20:02,035 --> 00:20:04,851
They collide and sometimes
when they collide,
354
00:20:04,871 --> 00:20:07,187
They make a magnetar,
355
00:20:07,207 --> 00:20:11,191
Which is a star
that's 18 miles wide.
356
00:20:11,211 --> 00:20:13,285
So, those two circles
come together
357
00:20:13,438 --> 00:20:15,379
And make this little tiny dot
358
00:20:15,531 --> 00:20:17,289
And I said,
"is this talking about
359
00:20:17,383 --> 00:20:21,719
A neutron star collision
and a magnetar being born?"
360
00:20:23,706 --> 00:20:26,724
Narrator:
A magnetar produces
a magnetic field
361
00:20:26,951 --> 00:20:28,208
That is 100 million
times stronger
362
00:20:28,228 --> 00:20:30,895
Than any man-made magnet
363
00:20:31,046 --> 00:20:32,713
And causes distortions
364
00:20:32,807 --> 00:20:34,807
In both space and time.
365
00:20:34,959 --> 00:20:36,234
Because of this effect,
366
00:20:36,385 --> 00:20:40,312
Some scientists believe
the study of magnetars
367
00:20:40,465 --> 00:20:41,221
Could help us to develop craft
368
00:20:41,241 --> 00:20:44,075
That can bend space-time
369
00:20:44,226 --> 00:20:47,728
And travel faster
than the speed of light.
370
00:20:47,747 --> 00:20:50,581
But could this have
been what was depicted
371
00:20:50,733 --> 00:20:53,734
By separate crop circles
that appeared on the same day
372
00:20:53,753 --> 00:20:55,995
In wiltshire, England?
373
00:20:56,147 --> 00:20:59,072
Kroth:
There are only around ten
magnetars in the milky way.
374
00:20:59,166 --> 00:21:01,150
They're extremely rare,
375
00:21:01,243 --> 00:21:03,335
The most magnetic objects
in the universe,
376
00:21:03,488 --> 00:21:05,337
So I thought, "well,
nice theory, jerry.
377
00:21:05,490 --> 00:21:06,989
No way to prove it."
378
00:21:07,008 --> 00:21:09,267
Narrator:
Could the spiral crop circles
379
00:21:09,494 --> 00:21:12,495
Represent the creation
of a magnetar?
380
00:21:12,588 --> 00:21:15,439
Within 24 hours
of the mysterious
381
00:21:15,666 --> 00:21:18,517
Patterns' discovery,
jerry kroth's theory
382
00:21:18,611 --> 00:21:23,355
Would be played out in
a real-time astronomical event.
383
00:21:23,449 --> 00:21:27,526
Kroth:
July 14th,
an astronomer in madrid
384
00:21:27,678 --> 00:21:30,195
And an astronomer in sicily
385
00:21:30,348 --> 00:21:33,291
Say a magnetar
has just appeared.
386
00:21:33,518 --> 00:21:37,611
Now, when they appear,
they shoot pulses
387
00:21:37,630 --> 00:21:40,464
At like 700 revolutions
a minute.
388
00:21:40,616 --> 00:21:43,801
Really, really fast.
(whooshing)
389
00:21:43,952 --> 00:21:45,469
And I wrote to them. Is...
390
00:21:45,621 --> 00:21:47,621
Could anyone have
seen it July 13th?
391
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,048
They said no.
392
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:49,956
So...
393
00:21:50,051 --> 00:21:54,145
A magnetar appears on July 14th
394
00:21:54,372 --> 00:21:56,889
And is studied by every
astronomer in the world
395
00:21:56,983 --> 00:21:59,224
And they're going nuts
about it and they're seeing
396
00:21:59,377 --> 00:22:02,135
These spectral lines and pulses
397
00:22:02,155 --> 00:22:04,880
And it goes on for six months.
398
00:22:04,899 --> 00:22:07,383
But on July 13th,
399
00:22:07,401 --> 00:22:13,313
There are two crop circles
doing this 24 hours before
400
00:22:13,333 --> 00:22:16,625
And that's when I was
convinced this was a magnetar.
401
00:22:18,079 --> 00:22:21,063
Narrator:
Is it possible that
extraterrestrials
402
00:22:21,082 --> 00:22:23,582
Created the two crop circles
in wiltshire
403
00:22:23,676 --> 00:22:27,069
To forecast the imminent
appearance of a magnetar?
404
00:22:27,162 --> 00:22:30,330
And if so, what could
the purpose be?
405
00:22:30,350 --> 00:22:32,833
Perhaps further clues
can be found
406
00:22:32,852 --> 00:22:36,354
By examining another
crop circle formation
407
00:22:36,505 --> 00:22:40,524
That many believe represents one
of albert einstein's theories.
408
00:22:42,177 --> 00:22:45,345
Collins:
On the 26th of July 2022,
409
00:22:45,439 --> 00:22:49,992
A remarkable crop formation
appeared in tawsmead copse.
410
00:22:51,186 --> 00:22:55,097
And this consisted
of three overlapping
411
00:22:55,190 --> 00:22:58,951
Series of concentric circles.
412
00:22:59,045 --> 00:23:00,378
Some researchers
413
00:23:00,529 --> 00:23:02,195
Have interpreted this
414
00:23:02,289 --> 00:23:04,790
As a two-dimensional form
415
00:23:04,942 --> 00:23:07,626
Of a einstein-rosen bridge.
416
00:23:07,778 --> 00:23:13,391
Narrator:
In 1935, physicists
albert einstein and nathan rosen
417
00:23:13,542 --> 00:23:16,394
Theorized that
with enough energy,
418
00:23:16,545 --> 00:23:20,456
Space could be bent in order
to connect two separate points
419
00:23:20,474 --> 00:23:23,976
Through what they called
an "einstein-rosen bridge."
420
00:23:24,070 --> 00:23:27,129
This connection, it is believed,
could make it possible
421
00:23:27,148 --> 00:23:29,815
To quickly travel to even
the most remote stars
422
00:23:29,909 --> 00:23:31,575
In the universe.
423
00:23:33,061 --> 00:23:36,229
When molecular biologist
and crop circle researcher
424
00:23:36,249 --> 00:23:40,084
Dr. Horace drew saw
the tawsmead copse crop circle
425
00:23:40,311 --> 00:23:44,738
In 2022,
he remarked that the design
426
00:23:44,757 --> 00:23:47,833
"clearly shows the image
of a space-time wormhole."
427
00:23:47,985 --> 00:23:48,742
Henry:
It seems very apparent
428
00:23:48,836 --> 00:23:51,411
That crop circles are messages.
429
00:23:51,431 --> 00:23:54,056
They're coded messages for us.
430
00:23:55,417 --> 00:23:57,751
When we look at
that crop circle,
431
00:23:57,770 --> 00:24:01,254
What dr. Horace drew
proposed is that
432
00:24:01,348 --> 00:24:02,848
It has what appears to be
433
00:24:02,942 --> 00:24:07,278
A tube or a portal that
links the vortices points
434
00:24:07,429 --> 00:24:10,263
And also the bending
of space-time.
435
00:24:11,342 --> 00:24:12,508
Childress: If you look
at a theoretical model
436
00:24:12,526 --> 00:24:15,786
Of an einstein-rosen bridge,
437
00:24:16,013 --> 00:24:17,455
What is commonly
called a wormhole,
438
00:24:17,682 --> 00:24:22,868
You see this formation
and how it looks,
439
00:24:22,962 --> 00:24:25,871
You have to wonder,
are they extraterrestrials
440
00:24:26,023 --> 00:24:28,299
Telling us how they got here?
441
00:24:29,302 --> 00:24:32,377
Narrator:
Is it possible
that astronomical events
442
00:24:32,530 --> 00:24:35,881
And geometric patterns
displayed in crop circles
443
00:24:36,033 --> 00:24:40,202
Could be pointing humankind
towards future technologies?
444
00:24:40,221 --> 00:24:43,481
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes
445
00:24:43,632 --> 00:24:49,044
And suggest some formations may
be telling us how to communicate
446
00:24:49,063 --> 00:24:51,780
With extraterrestrials.
447
00:25:01,834 --> 00:25:05,503
Narrator:
An intricate formation
of concentric circles,
448
00:25:05,730 --> 00:25:08,580
Featuring a number
of smaller semicircles
449
00:25:08,733 --> 00:25:10,566
Appears in a field of wheat.
450
00:25:10,659 --> 00:25:13,919
While the design
may appear random,
451
00:25:14,071 --> 00:25:16,755
Some researchers believe
it contains a message
452
00:25:16,849 --> 00:25:19,833
That can be both seen and heard.
453
00:25:19,852 --> 00:25:22,261
Because it is a perfect match
454
00:25:22,413 --> 00:25:26,431
For what is known
as a cymatic pattern.
455
00:25:26,842 --> 00:25:29,860
When we talk about
cymatic patterns,
456
00:25:30,012 --> 00:25:33,922
We're talking about
a frequency that will create
457
00:25:34,016 --> 00:25:36,091
An image that
has a complexity to it.
458
00:25:37,278 --> 00:25:41,038
So, specific frequencies
relate to specific patterns.
459
00:25:44,544 --> 00:25:48,212
Narrator:
The origins of cymatics
among human civilizations
460
00:25:48,363 --> 00:25:52,291
Can be traced back more than
ten centuries to west africa.
461
00:25:52,385 --> 00:25:55,869
There, tribal rituals
involved sprinkling
462
00:25:55,888 --> 00:25:59,056
Grains of sand
on the surface of drums.
463
00:25:59,283 --> 00:26:02,042
Striking the drums
created specific audio tones,
464
00:26:02,136 --> 00:26:07,639
Causing the sand to be instantly
shaped into distinct formations.
465
00:26:07,733 --> 00:26:10,717
From the resulting formations
on the drum's surface,
466
00:26:10,736 --> 00:26:13,295
Tribal elders believed
it was possible
467
00:26:13,314 --> 00:26:15,656
To predict future events.
468
00:26:17,301 --> 00:26:19,559
Childress:
With cymatics,
you have these patterns that
469
00:26:19,653 --> 00:26:25,082
Are a visualization really
of-of sound and vibration.
470
00:26:25,309 --> 00:26:29,478
And physicists tell us that
the entire universe
471
00:26:29,496 --> 00:26:33,332
Comes down to vibration
and sound patterns,
472
00:26:33,484 --> 00:26:36,485
And these patterns
that can be visualized.
473
00:26:37,504 --> 00:26:42,248
Narrator:
In 1787, german physicist
and musician
474
00:26:42,343 --> 00:26:45,344
Ernst chladni offered
a breakthrough on the subject
475
00:26:45,438 --> 00:26:50,332
When he published discoveries
in the theory of sound.
476
00:26:50,351 --> 00:26:54,111
In the writing, chladni
revealed that specific tones
477
00:26:54,338 --> 00:26:56,947
Consistently create
the same visual pattern.
478
00:26:57,174 --> 00:27:01,193
By applying sound vibrations
to metal plates covered in sand,
479
00:27:01,287 --> 00:27:03,103
He identified the images
480
00:27:03,122 --> 00:27:05,539
Produced by various frequencies.
481
00:27:07,868 --> 00:27:11,036
Henry:
When we look at
so many crop circles,
482
00:27:11,188 --> 00:27:13,705
They're consistent with what
we see in research on cymatics.
483
00:27:13,858 --> 00:27:18,377
We find the same shapes that
are created on chladni plates.
484
00:27:18,529 --> 00:27:19,862
We find the same shapes
485
00:27:19,955 --> 00:27:22,139
That are created
in sound experiments.
486
00:27:22,290 --> 00:27:24,049
So, there's a very key
connection
487
00:27:24,201 --> 00:27:25,309
That is to be made here.
488
00:27:26,628 --> 00:27:29,888
Taylor:
Quite a few crop circles
are very similar
489
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,208
To the cymatic patterns,
again demonstrating
490
00:27:33,301 --> 00:27:37,546
That there's a deep geometric
harmony at play,
491
00:27:37,639 --> 00:27:40,399
Something that appeals
directly to us.
492
00:27:41,068 --> 00:27:45,145
Narrator:
But why would cymatic patterns
appear in crop circles?
493
00:27:45,164 --> 00:27:48,982
Could extraterrestrials
be using audio frequencies
494
00:27:49,001 --> 00:27:51,168
As a method of communication?
495
00:27:52,338 --> 00:27:55,397
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest further clues
496
00:27:55,416 --> 00:27:56,823
Can be found by
examining the teachings
497
00:27:56,842 --> 00:28:00,160
Found in ancient
hindu religious texts
498
00:28:00,254 --> 00:28:02,421
Known as vedas.
499
00:28:03,407 --> 00:28:07,500
Dominic steavu:
The word "veda" means
knowledge in sanskrit.
500
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,745
There is this close
association with
501
00:28:09,838 --> 00:28:12,839
A special type of wisdom
or knowledge
502
00:28:12,858 --> 00:28:14,841
That is transmitted
through the vedas.
503
00:28:16,011 --> 00:28:19,922
Now, originally the vedas
were revealed by the gods
504
00:28:20,015 --> 00:28:23,867
To a certain class
of spiritual elect.
505
00:28:24,019 --> 00:28:28,263
And they contain, again,
these primordial sounds
506
00:28:28,356 --> 00:28:30,432
That are associated
with the creation
507
00:28:30,451 --> 00:28:32,951
Of the universe
and its proper functioning.
508
00:28:33,954 --> 00:28:37,881
Narrator:
In the vedic texts,
it is said that the gods
509
00:28:38,033 --> 00:28:41,460
Gave humankind a visual
guide to sacred sounds
510
00:28:41,554 --> 00:28:45,130
In the form of elaborate
patterns called "mandalas."
511
00:28:45,282 --> 00:28:48,041
Like chladni's experiments,
512
00:28:48,060 --> 00:28:52,137
The mandalas translate sound
into visual patterns,
513
00:28:52,289 --> 00:28:56,141
But for a profound
and otherworldly purpose.
514
00:28:56,293 --> 00:28:58,977
In hinduism, mandalas
are considered to be
515
00:28:59,129 --> 00:29:02,740
Visual translations
of primordial sounds.
516
00:29:04,243 --> 00:29:07,652
And these are the sounds
that gave rise
517
00:29:07,747 --> 00:29:11,415
To the universe, and to
the very nature of reality.
518
00:29:11,642 --> 00:29:17,237
And they are divine,
they were uttered cosmically
519
00:29:17,256 --> 00:29:21,166
By supernatural beings, by gods.
520
00:29:21,318 --> 00:29:25,837
Henry:
The vedas tell us that the gods
taught humans how to chant.
521
00:29:25,990 --> 00:29:28,156
How to pray and to sing
522
00:29:28,175 --> 00:29:30,583
In order to communicate
with the gods.
523
00:29:32,162 --> 00:29:37,165
Narrator:
The most powerful hindu
mantra is the sound "aum,"
524
00:29:37,184 --> 00:29:40,260
Which is visually represented
by a simple circle
525
00:29:40,354 --> 00:29:42,671
With a dot in the middle:
526
00:29:42,689 --> 00:29:45,841
The fundamental element
of a mandala.
527
00:29:45,859 --> 00:29:49,769
Incredibly, when
the "aum" frequency
528
00:29:49,863 --> 00:29:54,458
Is applied to a chladni plate,
the exact same pattern emerges.
529
00:29:57,354 --> 00:30:01,965
Higher-toned frequencies result
in more complex arrangements
530
00:30:02,117 --> 00:30:06,220
That also identically match
the ancient mandala symbols.
531
00:30:07,698 --> 00:30:10,699
Collins:
Is it conceivable
that the writers
532
00:30:10,717 --> 00:30:13,126
Of the ancient vedic texts
533
00:30:13,145 --> 00:30:15,554
Were given advanced knowledge
534
00:30:15,648 --> 00:30:18,373
On how sound frequencies
535
00:30:18,466 --> 00:30:21,652
Can be converted
into visual patterns?
536
00:30:23,397 --> 00:30:25,547
Some of the crop circle designs
537
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:29,734
Are very clearly
reflections of sound.
538
00:30:29,829 --> 00:30:33,905
Is it therefore possible
that what we're looking at
539
00:30:34,058 --> 00:30:40,653
Is sound signatures and that
this is telling us in some way
540
00:30:40,673 --> 00:30:42,898
That sound is
an important means of
541
00:30:42,916 --> 00:30:47,803
Communication with
such higher intelligences?
542
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:51,923
Narrator:
Many cultures around the world
543
00:30:52,017 --> 00:30:55,093
Believe it is possible
to commune with a higher realm
544
00:30:55,187 --> 00:30:59,690
Through ritualistic chanting,
singing and prayer.
545
00:30:59,841 --> 00:31:02,584
Like mandalas,
could crop circles
546
00:31:02,677 --> 00:31:04,695
Contain an otherworldly
message for humanity,
547
00:31:04,922 --> 00:31:08,365
One that is based
on sacred sounds?
548
00:31:10,185 --> 00:31:15,021
Tsoukalos:
I certainly think that
crop circles are messages by
549
00:31:15,115 --> 00:31:20,377
Other beings who are trying
to make contact with us,
550
00:31:20,604 --> 00:31:24,030
Or at least letting
us know they're there.
551
00:31:24,866 --> 00:31:27,109
And the entire basis
of the universe
552
00:31:27,127 --> 00:31:31,013
Is vibration,
and sound is vibration.
553
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,391
When we talk about
different ways
554
00:31:34,618 --> 00:31:37,636
With which to communicate
with different civilizations,
555
00:31:37,788 --> 00:31:41,790
Scientists have proposed
that can be achieved
556
00:31:41,808 --> 00:31:43,458
With sound frequencies.
557
00:31:43,477 --> 00:31:47,237
Childress:
What they're doing is putting
sound and vibration
558
00:31:47,464 --> 00:31:51,057
Into a communication device
of some sort,
559
00:31:51,076 --> 00:31:52,910
But exactly what they're
trying to communicate
560
00:31:53,061 --> 00:31:55,412
To us is the big question.
561
00:31:56,564 --> 00:31:58,490
Narrator:
Might extraterrestrials
562
00:31:58,642 --> 00:32:01,084
Be trying to communicate
with humans through
563
00:32:01,311 --> 00:32:04,713
The visual representation
of certain sound frequencies?
564
00:32:06,150 --> 00:32:09,426
And could these images
have a subconscious effect
565
00:32:09,577 --> 00:32:11,820
On those who witness them?
566
00:32:11,838 --> 00:32:15,081
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes,
567
00:32:15,175 --> 00:32:18,101
And speculate that humans
could already
568
00:32:18,253 --> 00:32:22,347
Be in the process of responding
to these otherworldly signals...
569
00:32:22,499 --> 00:32:24,691
Without even knowing it.
570
00:32:29,523 --> 00:32:31,114
Narrator:
When doug bower and dave chorley
571
00:32:31,266 --> 00:32:33,450
Came forward in 1991
572
00:32:33,677 --> 00:32:36,269
To admit that they had
been making crop circles
573
00:32:36,288 --> 00:32:39,623
Throughout England,
they were labeled as hoaxers.
574
00:32:40,775 --> 00:32:43,627
But today,
creating designs in crops
575
00:32:43,778 --> 00:32:47,965
Has become an artform practiced
by people all over the world.
576
00:32:49,635 --> 00:32:51,951
William russell:
Being an artist,
this seemed to sort of
577
00:32:51,971 --> 00:32:52,861
Resonate that you could go out
578
00:32:52,954 --> 00:32:56,289
And you could make an artwork
579
00:32:56,383 --> 00:32:59,309
In a field, um, anonymously.
580
00:32:59,536 --> 00:33:02,795
I'd spend all night
making one of these things,
581
00:33:02,889 --> 00:33:05,207
And then in the morning,
it appears on the internet.
582
00:33:05,225 --> 00:33:08,134
And from that,
it sort of gathers power.
583
00:33:08,153 --> 00:33:12,047
Narrator:
But while artists have
become increasingly proficient
584
00:33:12,065 --> 00:33:13,898
At making crop circles,
many of them say
585
00:33:13,993 --> 00:33:18,495
They still see formations
that defy explanation,
586
00:33:18,722 --> 00:33:20,998
And believe they
are carrying on the work
587
00:33:21,149 --> 00:33:24,418
Started by
extraterrestrial beings.
588
00:33:25,912 --> 00:33:28,505
Childress:
With some of these
man-made crop circles
589
00:33:28,656 --> 00:33:31,900
The perpetrators will say
that they were inspired
590
00:33:31,993 --> 00:33:35,178
To create these crop circles.
591
00:33:35,405 --> 00:33:37,239
And they think
that extraterrestrials
592
00:33:37,332 --> 00:33:39,574
Are somehow contacting them
593
00:33:39,593 --> 00:33:44,187
And influencing them
to go out and create these.
594
00:33:44,414 --> 00:33:46,506
I've been making circles
for over two decades
595
00:33:46,525 --> 00:33:49,918
Mainly in and around wiltshire,
but I'm not a skeptic.
596
00:33:49,936 --> 00:33:53,697
We've had some pretty
interesting experiences
597
00:33:53,924 --> 00:33:54,773
When we've been out
making circles
598
00:33:54,867 --> 00:33:57,034
That are inexplicable.
599
00:33:58,537 --> 00:34:02,039
Russell:
You have experiences
which would lead you
600
00:34:02,190 --> 00:34:06,268
To think that you're being
shown things, such as
601
00:34:06,286 --> 00:34:09,938
Flashes of light, or more
602
00:34:09,956 --> 00:34:12,466
Extraordinary events
in the night sky.
603
00:34:13,777 --> 00:34:15,886
The strangest one,
we were leaving a field
604
00:34:16,113 --> 00:34:18,780
And there was a great big
white burst of light,
605
00:34:18,799 --> 00:34:20,632
Enough to light
606
00:34:20,726 --> 00:34:24,227
The whole area we were in
up for maybe a second.
607
00:34:24,379 --> 00:34:28,899
And exactly where I was looking
a big orange ball
608
00:34:29,050 --> 00:34:33,737
Of light emanated from nothing
to a circular formation.
609
00:34:33,888 --> 00:34:36,406
And then blinked out.
610
00:34:37,409 --> 00:34:39,801
There's a rich
tradition with circle makers
611
00:34:39,894 --> 00:34:42,412
Of us seeing strange lights.
612
00:34:42,564 --> 00:34:46,157
Rob irving:
What I will say is
that the first person
613
00:34:46,310 --> 00:34:51,479
I personally know
who made one, doug bower,
614
00:34:51,498 --> 00:34:54,332
Made it on the back
of an existing phenomenon.
615
00:34:54,484 --> 00:34:59,179
So, the circles existed long
before human circle making.
616
00:35:02,175 --> 00:35:05,677
Narrator:
Some circle-makers not
only report being compelled
617
00:35:05,771 --> 00:35:09,331
To create crop formations,
but also claim to experience
618
00:35:09,349 --> 00:35:11,024
Other mental anomalies.
619
00:35:12,427 --> 00:35:13,685
Monique klinkenbergh
620
00:35:13,837 --> 00:35:16,929
Of the crop circle information
and research centre
621
00:35:17,023 --> 00:35:21,860
Has personally experienced
what are known as "time slips."
622
00:35:21,954 --> 00:35:24,346
Klinkenbergh:
We have people
losing track of time.
623
00:35:24,439 --> 00:35:26,272
It also happened to me once.
624
00:35:26,291 --> 00:35:29,534
It's very strange and, uh,
you are just blown away.
625
00:35:30,462 --> 00:35:34,038
I was in a car driving
towards an appointment,
626
00:35:34,191 --> 00:35:37,134
Regarding crop circles.
627
00:35:37,285 --> 00:35:39,285
And I remember
628
00:35:39,304 --> 00:35:41,120
Thinking, "oh, my god,
I'm too late,
629
00:35:41,140 --> 00:35:42,472
I'm not gonna make it in time."
630
00:35:42,624 --> 00:35:45,124
The next thing I knew,
631
00:35:45,218 --> 00:35:47,702
I was on this parking lot.
632
00:35:47,795 --> 00:35:50,313
And I was very much in time.
633
00:35:51,558 --> 00:35:55,710
There is a theory
that something out there
634
00:35:55,803 --> 00:35:57,637
Is interacting
with our thoughts,
635
00:35:57,656 --> 00:36:02,567
So basically you can
request or wish
636
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:06,404
For a formation to happen
and we did experiments with it
637
00:36:06,556 --> 00:36:10,816
And we have many, many reports
of people thinking or discussing
638
00:36:10,911 --> 00:36:15,839
A certain thing and then
it was manifested in the field.
639
00:36:19,586 --> 00:36:21,827
Narrator: Similar to
the cymatic experiences
640
00:36:21,922 --> 00:36:23,905
Of ancient tribes in africa,
641
00:36:23,998 --> 00:36:26,499
And the mandalas of hinduism,
642
00:36:26,518 --> 00:36:29,835
Is it possible
that otherworldly beings
643
00:36:29,930 --> 00:36:31,579
Are communicating with,
644
00:36:31,598 --> 00:36:34,006
And influencing humankind,
645
00:36:34,026 --> 00:36:37,194
Through the creation
of crop circles?
646
00:36:37,345 --> 00:36:40,755
I've heard reports from some
of the circle makers
647
00:36:40,774 --> 00:36:43,107
That they've created
a whole crop circle,
648
00:36:43,202 --> 00:36:45,276
And they've gone back
to check it out the next day
649
00:36:45,370 --> 00:36:47,278
And extra elements
have even been added to it
650
00:36:47,431 --> 00:36:48,622
That none of them did.
651
00:36:50,024 --> 00:36:53,526
And so you have this
strange kind of connection, uh,
652
00:36:53,620 --> 00:36:56,880
Like a human connection
between the mysterious forces
653
00:36:57,107 --> 00:36:59,549
That may have made
the original ones
654
00:36:59,776 --> 00:37:02,385
And the humans who
are making them today.
655
00:37:03,613 --> 00:37:05,555
Narrator:
Could there be
a connection between
656
00:37:05,782 --> 00:37:09,392
Circle-makers and
an extraterrestrial force?
657
00:37:09,619 --> 00:37:12,044
And is there
direct communication,
658
00:37:12,064 --> 00:37:14,731
On a subconscious level,
that is guiding
659
00:37:14,882 --> 00:37:19,051
The designs and execution
of these elaborate formations?
660
00:37:19,071 --> 00:37:22,388
Newman:
One of the things
was the makers would have
661
00:37:22,407 --> 00:37:25,725
Visionary experiences
like when they were going out
662
00:37:25,744 --> 00:37:26,484
In the fields
and they would change
663
00:37:26,636 --> 00:37:29,061
Their plans in the moment.
664
00:37:29,081 --> 00:37:31,564
And sometimes,
they would even turn up
665
00:37:31,658 --> 00:37:34,325
At a crop circle location
where they planned to make one
666
00:37:34,478 --> 00:37:35,827
And something had already
been created there
667
00:37:35,921 --> 00:37:37,403
Before they got there.
668
00:37:37,422 --> 00:37:40,315
Collins:
Are the crop circle makers,
669
00:37:40,333 --> 00:37:43,334
The people who create
many of the formations,
670
00:37:43,487 --> 00:37:46,821
Are they themselves inspired
671
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:48,490
To create what they do?
672
00:37:48,583 --> 00:37:50,658
I think the answer is yes.
673
00:37:51,919 --> 00:37:54,437
Narrator:
Could it be that the most
shocking revelation
674
00:37:54,664 --> 00:37:56,831
Regarding the crop circle
phenomenon
675
00:37:56,924 --> 00:37:58,850
Is that even formations known
676
00:37:58,944 --> 00:38:03,596
To be man-made contain
an extraterrestrial message?
677
00:38:03,615 --> 00:38:06,432
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes,
678
00:38:06,451 --> 00:38:11,195
And point to recent disclosures
involving ufos
679
00:38:11,290 --> 00:38:13,373
And the u.S. Government.
680
00:38:24,970 --> 00:38:27,362
Narrator:
Near an old british
royal air force base
681
00:38:27,455 --> 00:38:29,789
In the small hamlet
of temple balsall,
682
00:38:29,883 --> 00:38:33,217
An intricate crop circle
appears,
683
00:38:33,370 --> 00:38:35,127
Featuring an eight-
and 16-pointed star
684
00:38:35,147 --> 00:38:37,889
Around a central sun,
685
00:38:38,041 --> 00:38:40,650
Alongside pyramids
and oval-shaped "helmets."
686
00:38:41,878 --> 00:38:44,988
Curiously, as researchers
attempt to investigate
687
00:38:45,215 --> 00:38:47,899
The formation, they are
prevented from doing so
688
00:38:47,993 --> 00:38:52,162
By the authorities,
leading many to question why.
689
00:38:52,389 --> 00:38:55,573
Nick pope:
A lot of people can't help but
wonder whether the government
690
00:38:55,667 --> 00:38:59,151
And the military were as
curious as everyone else.
691
00:38:59,171 --> 00:39:01,245
There has been some
british government
692
00:39:01,398 --> 00:39:04,156
Interest and activity on this.
693
00:39:04,176 --> 00:39:07,510
Questions were formally asked
694
00:39:07,662 --> 00:39:09,846
In the british parliament
about this.
695
00:39:10,073 --> 00:39:11,514
Klinkenbergh:
What I do know for a fact,
696
00:39:11,741 --> 00:39:15,668
That I've once been
contacted by someone
697
00:39:15,687 --> 00:39:20,248
Who said he was from the mi6
and he wanted to speak to me.
698
00:39:20,341 --> 00:39:22,600
But I had to come on my own,
699
00:39:22,694 --> 00:39:24,694
And it had to be under
the chatham house rule.
700
00:39:24,846 --> 00:39:28,756
That's meaning you have to
keep all the information inside.
701
00:39:28,775 --> 00:39:31,183
And that's the opposite
of what I want.
702
00:39:31,203 --> 00:39:34,262
I wanted transparency,
so I declined.
703
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,189
But it makes you think,
why should a government
704
00:39:37,209 --> 00:39:39,667
Want to talk to me
about crop circles?
705
00:39:40,879 --> 00:39:42,379
I just don't know.
706
00:39:44,031 --> 00:39:46,866
Childress:
Many of the crop circles
in England are happening
707
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:48,943
Near the salisbury plain,
708
00:39:49,036 --> 00:39:51,946
Which is a big military area.
709
00:39:52,039 --> 00:39:55,450
So, that is curious in itself.
710
00:39:55,543 --> 00:39:58,395
The high concentration
of crop circles
711
00:39:58,622 --> 00:40:01,623
Is very close
to a military base.
712
00:40:01,716 --> 00:40:05,068
Henry:
It's very conceivable that in
fact it's the british government
713
00:40:05,219 --> 00:40:08,146
That is involved in making
the man-made crop circles
714
00:40:08,298 --> 00:40:13,076
As a way to return the messages
that are coming from the stars.
715
00:40:14,971 --> 00:40:16,654
Narrator:
For more than 60 years,
716
00:40:16,748 --> 00:40:19,323
Crop circles have made
headlines around the world.
717
00:40:19,418 --> 00:40:24,145
And during that time,
the united states, England,
718
00:40:24,164 --> 00:40:26,497
And other governments
have either ignored it
719
00:40:26,650 --> 00:40:28,574
Or dismissed crop circles
720
00:40:28,593 --> 00:40:32,077
As nothing more
than elaborate hoaxes.
721
00:40:32,097 --> 00:40:34,322
But like with
the u.S. Government's leaked
722
00:40:34,340 --> 00:40:38,601
Investigation into
uap activity in 2017,
723
00:40:38,753 --> 00:40:41,754
Could a similar disclosure
concerning crop circles
724
00:40:41,773 --> 00:40:43,773
Be on the horizon?
725
00:40:46,169 --> 00:40:47,685
Childress:
With crop circles,
726
00:40:47,837 --> 00:40:51,096
There has been always
this indication of...
727
00:40:51,191 --> 00:40:53,950
Ufo or uap activity.
728
00:40:55,345 --> 00:40:57,937
People are seeing lights,
they're seeing perhaps
729
00:40:58,031 --> 00:41:02,200
Flying saucers and other things
flying around in this area.
730
00:41:02,352 --> 00:41:05,778
And perhaps with disclosure,
we'll eventually
731
00:41:05,797 --> 00:41:08,539
Be told and we'll find an answer
732
00:41:08,692 --> 00:41:11,301
Of why all these
crop circles are occurring.
733
00:41:11,786 --> 00:41:14,787
Henry:
What I think we're seeing
in the crop circles
734
00:41:14,881 --> 00:41:16,698
Is a calling card.
735
00:41:16,716 --> 00:41:18,366
It's a message from a higher
736
00:41:18,384 --> 00:41:21,961
Intelligence that's asking us
to crack the code.
737
00:41:22,055 --> 00:41:24,388
And as we crack the code,
we're gonna undoubtedly develop
738
00:41:24,483 --> 00:41:27,650
New technologies and new
abilities to communicate.
739
00:41:27,877 --> 00:41:30,545
Not just between ourselves,
but also with
740
00:41:30,638 --> 00:41:32,280
These higher intelligences.
741
00:41:34,326 --> 00:41:36,993
Narrator: Is it possible that
many of the crop circles
742
00:41:37,220 --> 00:41:39,329
Found around the world
contain important messages
743
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:43,333
Left by
extraterrestrial visitors?
744
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,410
Are they attempting
to communicate
745
00:41:46,563 --> 00:41:49,488
Critical warnings
about the future,
746
00:41:49,508 --> 00:41:53,084
Profound truths
about the cosmos,
747
00:41:53,178 --> 00:41:57,588
And the keys to incredible
new technologies?
748
00:41:57,741 --> 00:42:00,591
Perhaps as more
formations are deciphered,
749
00:42:00,744 --> 00:42:03,836
We will continue to move
closer to a reconnection
750
00:42:03,930 --> 00:42:05,855
With our alien ancestors.
751
