Crop Circles

Beautiful - that is most impressive.

Edit to add: there was a chap called ?Bunny something who used to be big in these fields*, lots of lovely photos taken from above by having a camera mounted on a pole and then letting it sway over the target before catching it on the way down again. Is he still active?

I think that it isn't Bunny, but it's something slightly odd?

unintentional :lol:
 
Could it be Busty Taylor? He was a pilot and took aerial shots of formations. Not sure if he's still active.
 
That's the fellow! Busty Taylor......

I always assumed it was a nickname. :?
 
Haha - If it is a nickname, I hope he was dubbed before the new wave of porn.
Busty was one of the original croppy research team along with Meaden, Andrews, Delgado and the other members of the Mercury 7. Look for a doco on the phenomenon called Crop Circles: Quest For Truth. He features quite heavily in the early parts of that. Most of those guys have either died or semi-retired from the scene. Last I saw of him (I still follow CC progress at a distance) he was at one of the new breed's 'lectures' out at Wiltshire rasing his conjectures and poking holes in their theories. I heard he had cancer, but not sure of his status currently. I liked his style. Bit of a scallywag. Sincere, if misguided.

Here's a tribute, at his 70th last year, on Colin Andrews' website:

That's a nice tribute page :)

I think you've nailed it about his style - which is why he's stuck in my memory. Well, that and "Busty".

And he does take rather good photographs.

Whatever "the truth" I find the whole crop circle thing a fascinating phenomenon and I greatly value the efforts of inspired individuals to record stuff and make it available.

The world needs more Antiquaries, in the broadest sense.
 
I find fascinating what it does to us, the viewers. There is nothing left now of the naive 'truth' I took into it twenty years ago. I first used to think it was a troup of bored pranksters (Doug and Dave et al). Then truth shifted around to some sympathy for a possible supernatural source. Now I see it as great great art (except that wonky shit the amateurs throw down). The samples I link here are examples of that. The creators embed so much geometrical complexity, often beyond the 2 dimensional shape outlined in the crop itself. The hidden geometries are really stunning.

I don't think any more of a non-human agency behind this phenomenon, but a phenomenon it remains, more due to its impact than any spookiness connected to its creation. It is still amazing work.

Good summary. Thanks for the video link too!
 
In 1974 SETI sent out a coded radio transmission into deep space. In 2001 two unique crop images where found. One of the images used the design and code of the 1974 transmission to post a reply(?).

The link below analyses what we sent originally and what we received 27 years later.

I've known about Nancy Talbot's association with Robbert Van den Broeke in Crop Circle events for over 15 years but didn't know the depth of his other spiritual encounters and manifestations. His is an intriguing case. Its pretty much all word of mouth with a fair spoonful of hyperbole, but there are some interesting images of what they refer to as UMME beings photographed in manifestation here. I'm not sure if the PDF file will download but this is the uRL for part 3 of the files which contains some striking angelic figures: bltresearch.com/robbert/spirit_icons_UMMO_EVP/IconsPart3.pdf

These files from the webpage at BLT research (yes it's that Levengood mob [rolly-eyed emoticon of scorn]) here: http://www.bltresearch.com/robbert.php

You can see Nancy Talbot talking CC 'science' and describing one of her experiences in Holland at Robbert's house midway through the video at post #371 above.
 
Further exploring brings forth a video of Nancy delivering a lecture on Robbert: haven't watched it yet. This from RvdB's own Youtube page. Going into that now. Anybody speak Dutch?

 
I sincerely hope this isn't a Blair Witch totally-false docudrama. Assuming all the memory card handling was actually done with the level of control measures they describe in the English language section, this looks to be genuinely weird.

I remain, as ever, skeptical, that this is perhaps somehow still a hoax.

The spirit of hope raised from the Ted Serios episodes rises again. I knew it would, in the digital era, but.....is this, here and now, legitimate, repeatable and real? Or calculated hokum?

Whoah. How do you explain this?

This does look fairly amazing, but...
(a) It's possible, through sleight of hand, to swap the memory card.
(b) On some cameras, it is possible to have 2 memory cards in place. I have a Fuji S602 Pro, which has a slot for a CompactFlash card and another for a Microdrive. You can switch between them to have completely separate storage.

van den Broeke is a private Dutch citizen. I don't know a lot about him, but he has a long-standing respect among some of the 'researcher' teams for his capacity to predict the lays that go down in his locale before they land. Of course, he could be the fraud some would no doubt accuse him of being. He has done this digital image act on film multiple times now, and it is a pretty good trick if he's faking it. However, the idea that he can appear at will to, and converse with, the alleged killer of Natalee Holloway in his Chilean prison cell stretches matters to airy thinness for me. I spent quite a few hours today delving into that sordid tale - I don't recall hearing about it when it happened. What a horrid little bastard van Der Sloot is. Lying shit.

Back to the crop circles, I fear I've dragged attention away from the phenomenon and onto the personalities a bit too much with this series of links. When it goes too far from the fields, it becomes another issue. I'm hoping for some amazing lays in the next few weeks and will post them as they drop in.

Anything's possible but I don't feel they've set it up to falsify. I dunno.

I suppose the only way to be semi-sure would be to bring in a total stranger off the street and snap away with their smartphone or something.

It doesn't 'feel' that way, yes. It does look genuinely amazing.

It does, very much. But the blurred boundaries between faith, fact and fiction are, themselves, often merely optional observances. What we believe to be the absolute fundamental truth in all sorts of ways is nothing of the sort.

I really do hope this might be different: but... I am extremely doubtful.
 
I'd not heard of Robbert van den Broeke & on googling, there is a strong element of dubiousity about him.

It seems he gets his images from the web & there was a story of him in a tv show talking to the widow of a man who'd committed suicide. Unfortunately for him, he included a misprint involving the man's occupation which he'd memorized from a webpage. He was called on it & became a somewhat of a laughing stock.

See here for some background & further links, & here for a theory of how he does the photos. For it to work though, he would have to have access to the camera beforehand.
 
Great find, hunck. Very resourceful of you.

Apparently a US doco maker called Dan Denison (sp?) tested him out too on a visit to Holland in recent years. I may find time to seek that one out later.
 
How did they achieve such precision? It always amazes me.
 
The method is quite simple, but yes the precision of the professionsals is constantly startling. There are a few videos of some of the stomper teams laying them down. The past few years there have been many attempts by lesser creatures which have been extremely poor in both design and finish.

Here's the most recent English circle found: Dorset. The standing centres are a nice touch.

Here's a field report/interpretation from the Manton Drove circle of last week detailing the 13-point features. I'm glad others are onto the mathematical analysis of the angles and such. I've no idea. Not a numbers person myself.
