Sorry for the sensational headline! Colin Andrews, a crop circle
"personality" and purveyor of dubious research, was recently in the UK to
promote his latest venture, a big crop circle investigation apparently
funded by the UN. I debated him on the radio, but forgot to ask how much
he was getting. The point of this posting is to draw the attention of any
interested NYC skeptics to the fact (?) that he will be addressing the UN
on October 21st about crop circles. Perhaps you NYC skeptics would care to
counter his nonsense with some facts - assuming you are not too heavily
occupied already! I will send more info on the subject to people who email
me directly.
there follows the text of CA's press release in the UK:

May 24 1993 CIRCLES PHENOMENON RESEARCH
UK-USA-CANADA-AUSTRALIA-BELGIUM
Colin Andrews, author of the best-selling book 'Circular Evidence', and
formerly from Andover, is flying out of America on Tuesday (25th May) and
will spend until 28th August in Hampshire and Wiltshire, UK, with the
largest gathering of international scientists yet, to further investigate
the Crop Circles. He will fly to make presentations in a number of
countries during the period, including Malta, Ireland, Iceland and the USA.
The research project will include measuring the electrostatic field and the
Magnetic field at sites in Hampshire and Wiltshire. Very secret projects
involving well-known mediums will also be undertaken and has [sic(k)] been
planned by Scientists who discovered unusual markings and geometry on Mars
[guess who]. These findings were presented to the United Nations in New
York during summer 1992, by Dick Hoagland - NASA consultant. Colin can
update you further when he arrives in the UK.
The following is a press statement just released by CPR International, in
America. It relates to Colin Andrews' address to the United Nations, which
has now been officially announced for 21st October 1993 at UN headquarters
in New York.
Yours sincerely
Synthia Ramsby - Director USA
(for Colin Andrews)
Colin Andrews' address at the United Nations
Mohammad Ramadan, president of the parapsychological group [!] at the
United Nations who recently sponsored Richard Hoagland's presentation to
the U.N. on the Mission to Mars, met Colin Andrews at the United Nations
building in New York several months ago. At the meeting, Mr. Ramadan set
Colin the almost impossible challenge of discovering the meaning behind the
crop circles and ancient writings, the findings of which to be presented at
the U.N. in October. Many front line research contacts have already been
drawn up to assist in bringing together the vast data pool of information
by research groups and governments around the world.
Numerous governments have studied and collected information related to the
UFO and the Crop Circles. they have clearly found it difficult, if not
impossible, to make any public statement on matters associated with both.
Unusual patterns, assumed as writings (i.e. languages) have appeared in
fields in the form of crop markings and have been scratched on metallic
surfaces following alleged abduction cases. These etchings resemble
markings on Sumerian Tablets and petroglyphs on stone and rocks in several
parts of the world. The mammoth task is to try and place these together
and see if there is a cohesive message [and the researchers can practise on
any of Mr. Andrew's "books"]. Those who claim extraterrestrial contact and
communication with such through symbols are to be part of the four month
blitz on the world's data bank. this may represent one of the first
opportunities to bring major information regrading such events into the
realm of the public through a non-political figure under the auspices of
the U.N. Ultimately a situation of such immense proportion must certainly
be addressed through the resources of this assemblage.
Careful assessment of all the facts known to us will be studied before the
presentation is given at the United Nations on 21st October. The
presentation will be attended by delegates and U.N. officials and is open
to the general public. For more information contact Mohammad Ramadan at
the U.N., tel. (212) 963-6506. I intend to present the information at
Reykjavik in Iceland on 3-7th November. For information, contact Iceland
International Conference - Tony Dodd Tel. England (0756) 752216.

So there you have it. Perhaps the event will generate so little interest
that it's not worth putting a skeptical viewpoint, but if anyone in NYC
does want to follow it up, I will, as I said, be happy to provide general
background information on crop circles; e-mail mh@orc.soton.ac.uk.
