The Wiltshire Police force has released an official
statement about crop circles. It is quite rare for state authorities even to
mention crop circles:
"With summer
well and truly underway we have seen an increase of crop circles appearing
across the county. They might seem harmless but they actually have a huge
negative impact on the hardworking landowners and farmers whose crops are
damaged. Creating a crop circle is CRIMINAL DAMAGE and an offence.
The damage caused
means a loss in revenue to the farmer and landowner. They also have to deal
with civil trespass issues on their land after a crop circle has been created
when members of the public come without permission, to view the circle. It has
also been known for individuals to pose as part of a charity or as the
landowner at the site of crop circles and attempt to take 'donations' from
people viewing the crop circle.
We urge all farmers
and landowners if they have had a crop circle on their land to report it to us
on 101 so it can be recorded. Often after a crop circle appears, individuals
will arrive with a drone to photograph it. Take note of any vehicles, their
registration plates, and any individuals and pass this information to the
police.
If a circle is
created on your land make sure you tell the crop circle community if you decide
to allow/ not allow access to the general public, and if you intend to cut the
circle out. This should reduce unwanted visitors.
There are 3 places to
do this:
We also ask the
public to help support our rural communities by reporting any suspicious
vehicles, behaviour or people in crop fields to police on 101 they may be
attempting to create a crop circle and committing criminal damage. If you can
see a crop circle creation in progress, call police on 999.
#ReportIt"

Matthew Williams, the well-known UFOlogist, was once arrested
for trespass and criminal damage. He is the only person so far to have been
successfully prosecuted for crop circle-making, a fact he wears on his sleeve
with enormous pride, see: https://www.youtube.com/user/truthseekers666.
(He is a scathing critic of my technical film-making methods too, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGVzOiyM6gU)
The police statement mentions drones and that probably refers directly to Matt
who has a drone which he uses to film crop circles although there is no proof
that this necessarily means that the circles are the work of Matt's own team.
Some of his visuals are spectacular and he filmed the title sequence for Sandra
Daroy's Awakening of 12 Strands, see:

The obvious omission from the police report is the paranormal and UFO element
to the crop circle phenomenon. They make the assumption that crop circles are
all made by people using conventional circle-making methods, wooden planks and
tape measures etc. This is not the case and in the background links I explain
why. I also recommend Richard D Hall's documentary Crop Circles- the Hidden Truth, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9J_to9tbCE.
The police say that if we see a crop circle creation in progress we should call
999. The problem is, in some cases the police will need more than a squad car
to catch the culprits. A space rocket might be a more effective start.

The police obviously don't mention the paranormal because there is nothing paranormal about crop circles. It's not that hard to understand.
ReplyDeleteI disagree, Dick. I explain why in terms that it is not hard to understand either.
ReplyDelete'Dick'- the name says it all
ReplyDeleteThe bottom line is, you're invading someone elses's space and damaging their hard work and way of making a living and that's wrong.
ReplyDeleteBird Hunter, I never said it wasn't.
