Using banks of expensive camera and infra-red equipment to keep a 24-hr
watch on a field below Morgan's Hill where a magnificent quadruple-ringed
Circle and a Celtic Cross appeared respectively on June 1 and July 5 1990,
a Team of crop watchers have witnessed something strange .
In addition to the video equipment they have a powerful directional
microphone which digitally records all sound in the range 2 to 20000 Hz, i.e.
infra-sound, audible sound and some ultra-sound. The night of June 26/27 was
cloudy and rainy and looked most unpromising. At about 3 a.m. some mist was
in evidence and this appeared to be thickest right over the field being
observed. It was decided to keep the cameras and infra-red gear running
just in case it lifted and the directional microphone continued to record.
At 5.45 a.m., an hour after dawn, the mist began to slowly clear. The
pall of mist over the field under observation was the last to dissipate and,
when it did, the cameramen could just see markings in the crop. They rushed
down the hill to seal off entry to the field in which they could now see
with binoculars a large dumb-bell pictogram. Close inspection showed no signs
of human entry or footsteps in the wet soil at entry points to the field.
A playback of the tapes from the directional microphone was found to be
completely blank at all recorded frequencies.
One of the cameramen who was first into the dumb-bell walked a long way
along a tractor line to get to the the formation without damaging the
standing crop. His trousers were soaked by the wet crop and his boots covered
in mud. The circles were perfectly swirled with the plants bent but unbroken.
There was no sign of foot-steps or muddy trampling in the circles.
At 6 p.m the previous evening a military helicopter had flown across and
hovered for a few minutes over the spot where the pictogram subsequently
formed. Whether or not this was coincidental we have no way of telling. There
are certainly rumours that the military have ways of detecting where and when
Circles will form.
Dr Meaden and his 19 Japanese scientists also encamped on Morgan's Hill
were thought to have had that field under observation as well. But they are
not saying what they made of this cosmic conjuring trick. Dr M only ever says
"This entirely confirms my plasma vortex theory" whenever a new pictogram
appears. He has on the hill some radar device, and we hear a rumour that
this picked up some object the other night (not necessarliy the night of
the 26/27th) which was definitely not an aircraft. The cry went up "It's a
plasma vortex" and they all rushed to look for it. But nothing visible was
seen.
What Dr M calls a plasma vortex is what most other people call a UFO.
This does not mean for a moment that it is necessarily a metallic spacecraft
flown by aliens as the tabloid newspapers and Hollywood would have us believe.
Nor for that that matter does calling it a plasma vortex mean that scientists
have the slightest idea what it is or where it comes from. Meaden has never
offered any equations, rotational velocities, or any credible explanation
for how the mythical plasma vortex is formed. He might just as well call it
a UFO like everyone else.
No exact details of sizes of dimensions yet but I will be in-touch.
Otherwise the latest crop circles seem to be dumbbells ,as a weight training dumbbell , with rings ,paths and circles attached .They look remarkably like
insects as they have a paths leading from one of the circles at about
45 degrees with small circles at the end (antannae) .

It must be remembered that Strieber is a very good science fiction writer. He wrote the book and I believe the screenplay for "Wolfen." While this makes him an eloquent teller of his tale, it also opens up alternate interpretations of his motives...It seems unlikely, but possible, that this is a post-modern version of the Mercury Radio Theater War of the the Worlds?
If I get chased by some ugly little shits with galactic army knives for posting this I will let you know.

Isn't _Wolfen_ a horror story? _Warday_ is probably science fiction,
but he did a lot of research for that and it's based on reality.
Besides, _Communion_ and _Transformation_ *are not* science fiction.
There's very little that's "scientific" about them and they *are not*
fiction (according to the author).
The point is, though: he's an *author*. I don't think the abduction
books he's written are typical of his style. Would he be more credible
to you if he was a romance novel writer? Did you ever think whoever's
doing this to him chose him for his story-writing abilities?
He's stated plainly and taken lie-detector tests demonstrating that his
story is true. He *believes* it's true; now it's just a matter of
whether he's crazy or not.
Of course, offering to donate all proceeds from his books to an
organization in charge of investigating UFOs would lend some
credibility, but the man's gotta eat ( and he spent a lot of time on the
books).
