Date of Report: September 12, 1996
Location: Rocanville, Saskatchewan, Canada
Date Found: September 4, 1996
Investigation: Daniel Clairmont (Saskatchewan MUFON), Chad Deetken (Pacific
Research)
Catalogue No: 00296 / 00396
Report received from Chad Deetken on September 11, who received it from CBC Radio on September 10, 1996.
Two circles, each about 14 metres (42 feet) in diameter, in a wheat field near a potash mine. Discovered on September 4, 1996.
The plant stalks were bent close to the ground, not broken or damaged, and neatly woven together in a very impressive spiral pattern. The ground beneath the flattened crops was not disturbed and no other evidence of hoaxing was found.
Reports carried on local Saskatchewan radio (CBC) and in local newspapers (Leader Post - Regina, Saskatchewan; Mooseman Spectator - Regina, Saskatchewan).
Photographed, surveyed and sampled by Daniel Clairmont. He stated to me that these were the best Canadian crop circles he had ever seen. Even the couple reporters I talked to in Regina were impressed. Samples sent to Dr. Levengood in Michigan, USA for lab analysis.
The location is halfway acoss the country from where I am (Vancouver, BC), so I was not able to investigate the site personally.
A full report will be available soon, with further details, diagrams, photos, etc.
Also, Chris Rutkowski (Ufology Research of Manitoba) reports that a lab in Ontario, Canada may be ready soon for crop circle analysis.
