Crop Circles in Holland - by Robert J. Boerman
Most of the world-wide crop circles appeared in the UK, but there are also a number of formations reported in the Netherlands since it all started here in 1986. In that year a Dutch newspaper reported a single circle. And then, suddenly, in the mid '90s it seemed the phenomenon discovered the Dutch fields. In the first years it seemed that the 'circle makers' started to copy some of the earlier UK circles, but later on there were more and more beautiful formations reported all over the Netherlands. In 1996 there were almost 100 formations reported and the total amount of formations since 1986 through 2000 has reached almost 250 formations!
For Mr. Robert Boerman, his contact with the crop circles started in 1997 with a short flight above his home. After about 10 minutes in the air, the pilot pointed at something amazing. They discovered the beautiful pictogram that appeared in Brummen (Holland). From that moment his life was forever changed and he started to write many articles about the mysterious crop circle phenomenon.
Sticky white stuff was found in 6 of the 7 circles in the Brummen formation of 1997. It was send to Nancy Talbott of the BLT-team. After the BLT-team studied the white stuff, the PTAH Foundation received the complete report which said the white stuff was a very pure carbon-oxide compound. Nowadays the BLT-team is doing a new research to this mysterious stuff. A new member joined the team and they received some new equipment for more and better research. When the new report is finished it all will be available at the web site of the PTAH Foundation.

The Mowing - Devil :
Or, Strange NEWS out of
Hartford - shire.
Being a True Relation of a Farmer, who Bargaining with a Poor Mower, about the Cutting down Three Half Acres of Oats: upon the Mower's asking too much, the Farmer swore That the Devil should Mow it rather than He. And so it fell out, that very Night, the Crop of Oat shew'd as if it had been all of a flame: but next Morning appear'd so neatly mow'd by the Devil or some Infernal Spirit, that no Mortal Man was able to do the like. Also, How the said Oats ly now in the Field, and the Owner has not Power to fetch them away.

Crop Circle reports from World War II
from: UFO Magazine
Practically everyone who reads UFO Magazine, I am sure, has heard of Crop Circles and has seen photographs of the various formations - or pictograms - that appear throughout England and the world each year. But less well known is what has been learned about the subject at an official level. For more than a decade rumours have circulated to the effect that the British Government has undertaken covert investigations of Crop Circles. To an extent, at least, that is true. At the Public Record Office at Kew there exists an intriguing file prepared at the height of the Second World War by none other than MI5 and that was declassified in 2001. The file deals with the way in which MI5 suspected that Nazi sympathisers and Fifth Columnists in the UK were sending messages to - and communicating with - the enemy. Interestingly, MI5 learned that in Poland, Holland, France and Belgium, this included 'the cutting of cornfields into guiding marks for aircraft'. To illustrate how closely this parallels today's Crop Circles, the official file refers to enemy sympathisers 'beating out signs twenty metres in diameter on harrowed fields or mowing such signs on meadows or cornfields'. Crop circles in other words! Interestingly, MI5 investigated a number of such formations that appeared in various British fields from 1940-1943 to determine if any of those same formations were some form of coded message intended for German pilots flying overhead.
Crop Circle Secrets Revealed
from: BBC News - Tuesday, 8 October, 2002
The only man in Britain convicted of making crop circles has made a video to prove they are not the results of alien or supernatural forces. Matthew Williams, 30, of Devizes, Wiltshire, was fined £100 by magistrates in November 2000 after admitting damaging a farmer's crops near Marlborough, Wiltshire. He successfully proved it was possible to create a seven-pointed star, but was prosecuted after publishing the results on the internet.
Mr Williams has now made the film revealing crop circle creators' secrets and experiences. The three-hour film - Circle Makers - interviews 11 experts who have created hundreds of circles using posts, tapes, planks and ropes, rollers and computer-generated designs.
The crop circle community is divided. "Plankers" such as Mr Williams, say they are all man-made; Others insistent the circles are the work of paranormal, alien or unknown forces. "Just because it doesn't sit in a gallery doesn't mean it's not art - it's a living sculpture," said Matthew Williams, a video editor and computer programmer. Mr. Williams said he made the film because he was frustrated by the constant focus on outlandish theories to explain the circles.
