The
circles in the grain, UFO, whirlings arm or hoaxes?
15 August 1980 the "Wiltshire Times"
introduced the singular relative report to the
devastation of an extended cultivated plot of
ground to oats near Westbury, in the Wiltshire,
England. The owner of the field, had found in
at least three various zones of the field, immense
devastations in which the steles they had been
folds to you to earth. For recorded, all those
its lands faced celeberrimo the Little horse white
man of Westbury, one gigantic figure of horse
dug in the chalk white man of one hill. The owner
was convinced that the vandalico action had been
completed from some malintenzionato and does not
give some mysterious natural phenomenon. The three
devastate zones, in fact, introduced, seen from
the high, one same configuration, that is three
great circles, almost perfect, than approximately
18 m of diameter. Also it had observed that a
lot probably the bending of the ears must have
been executed manually and not with the aid of
some machinery, from the moment that in the rest
of the field did not notice some trace. Insomma,
not was sign that it indicated that something
had moved along the plot of ground. The circles
were encircle to you from remained ears intoccate
and a small long path was not noticed not even
which the eventual craftsmen had been able to
walk, a lot that someone had tried to suggest
the use of trampoli. A careful examination of
the circles obtained with the folding of the ears,
revealed that the three figures had been realized
in various times, reasonable what, inasmuch as
the devastations, being the same owner, could
have manifested itself in an arc of time comprised
between May and July. The edges of the circles
perfectly were defined and all the ears to the
inside turned out folded in the same direction,
following a hour rotatorio movement that made
hinge in the center. Not single broken or cut
ear was one; they were all only pulled down, folded.
An extraordinary effect, obtained from a gigantic
and strong man, than, placed in the center of
the circle, had made to ruotare all one round
heavy mass connected to its hands from one long
rope. The curiosity was a lot. Dottor the T. M.,
physicist of the atmosphere in activity, let alone
member dell’ organization of search for
the study of tornados and air bugles, said that
the circles had been produced from typical air
whirlings arm of the summery period, at all rare
phenomena nothing in opened campaign. It admitted
but - much honestly - than had not never assisted
of person to the creation of a "circle".
From part ours, we still add that the whirlings
arm are phenomena movements from accidental energies,
that they only invest a place for some second
ones, and therefore from their action other would
not have to be attended nient' that disorder and
not perfect geometric designs. An other observation
of extreme interest came moved from the director
of one review on topics alternated to you. ' '
the point centers them "of everyone of the
three circles was moved of beyond a meter regarding
the effective geometric center of the figure.
The rotary energy followed therefore a elliptic
movement and not circular. This was opposed in
resolutive way to the theory of the jokers or
the vandali, from the moment that to create precise
ellipses much would have been too much impegnativo;
but also the hypothesis of the T.M. whirlings
arm lost credibility. Nearly exactly a year after,
19 August 1981, in a field of I luff of Cheesefoot
Head, dulled others three circles. The figures
had appeared at the same time and, to the contrary
of the three previous ones of the Wiltshire that
was scattered like random, these were disposed
second one precise formation. A circle with approximately
18 m of diameter and the others two to flank nearly
8 m. The characteristics generate did not change
them: the circles from the clean edges, the ruotate
and folded, not broken ears, without some trace
of hypothetical intruders introduced in the field.
Also in this case the evidences "bocciavano"
the theory of the natural causes. Professor the
T.M. then, tried to propose one varying to its
explanation: the air whirling arm instead maintaining
itself stationary on a single precise point of
the land, like, if it could be said, "had
gone to spasso" for the field leaving behind
its passage the three great circles. This could
have been provoked from the particular conformation
of the land, in the fattispecie, the concave and
tilted disposition of the plot of ground that
would have favorite the "jump" of the
air vortex. In the 1982 the cases signal to you
were little and isolate to you, for important
and therefore more insufficient incapable to provoke
the attention of the average. Nearly like if the
phenomenon had intentional "is made to pardon",
the successive year - 1983 - began endured with
five cases, between which a meaningful one to
Bratton, in pressed of celebre the Little horse
the white man of Westbury. It could not sure be
be a matter of natural vortices, because the design
was singularly perfect, like constructed on purpose:
a circle centers them larger with other four round
decided as number five on the face of a dice.
An other formation to five elements appeared close
to Westminster, center that in the previous years
already had been object of multiple ufologici
sights. A case came recorded in a great field
to Ridgeway near Wantage, in the Oxfordshire.
This kind of quintuplice architecture divenne
the more common outline, much not to represent
one more singolarità. To this point the
public opinion national English began to take
care itself of the phenomenon with always greater
intensity. At the same time, taken to imporsi
the theory that the summer was, for ancient tradition,
the season of the "stranezze". For a
singular coincidence, in the warm season they
did not happen made important and therefore newspapers
and daily paper, having by force to withdraw on
palliati, were inclined to grant very more space
to you of necessary to history of nobody or the
superficial importance. The phenomenon of the
circles in the grain were lend splendidly to the
need and therefore, in short, the public English
began to enter in confidenza with the phenomenon.
Formations of ufologi took to ride the tiger,
pontificando in TV that the mystery could only
find explanation resorting to the UFO. The skeptics
preferred to opt instead for the hypothesis of
the burlesque swindle. Hypothesis that totally
seemed to be confirmed when a second formation
to cinquina appeared of new to Bratton. It was
come to discover to be a matter itself of a hoax
financed from the "Daily Mirror", that
it had paid a such family so that duplicated the
design. The experiment was successful approaching
the field on of the trampoli and folding the ears
of cereals simply treading on them in circle.
The putting in scene had been but unmasked from
the director of a review dedicated to the strange
facts, "Fortean Times", which, in the
course of a inspection, it had noticed the obvious
presence of human traces never found in the other
cases; without scordare that the contours of the
circles turned out not clean imprecisi and like
of custom. Primary scope of the swindle was that
one to put in embarrassment the concurrent newspaper,
the "Daily Express", that it had been
the first one to introduce to the readers the
scoop of the mysterious phenomenon. In the two
years that followed the number of the cases it
grew in esponenziale way and also the figurations
were made more and more complex. They began to
appear circles contornati from rings concentrates
to us, like of the paths of variable width anch'
they you form to you from the appiattimento of
the ears, perfectly concentrates to us regarding
the circle centers them. Formations to five and
simple circles continued, frattanto, to dull here
and here. It seemed that who acted, was amused
to stimulate who investigated. And therefore,
not hardly the supporters of the natural theory
of the air whirlings arm pointed out the hour
course of the bending of the ears, to jump here
outside a circle to counter-clockwise course.
Not hardly someone revealed to have uncovered
the mysterious one, is worth to say that the circles
came obtained dall' high using a helicopter, here
to dull a circle just under the threads of a attice
dell' high tension. When an expert of air photographs,
Busty Taylor, of return from a service in which
he had resumed some circles in the grain, had
manifested the fantasy that it would have been
beautifulst to be able to observe a formation
to celtica cross, here the day after to appear
a similar design just in that same field that
it had flown over. And when the natural theory
seemed to return to he loads here to appear -
1990 Hampshire - a formation to six elements,
with of the shapes indented of the exited type
to key from three circles, to shape the shape
of an ancient one pittogramma. In the same year
to Chilcomb a design similar to one storta from
chemical laboratory had appeared: a structure
from along neck with four rectangles on every
side, a configuration that once again put in cross
the hypothesis of professor the T.M., that continued,
nearly against every logic, to speak about "atmospheric
forces naturali”. Rickard, while, contacted
an always increasing number of eyewitnesses, in
a position to telling as the creation of a circle
happened. Eccone one: “all' unexpected,
like of spell, the grass second began to fold
itself in front of our eyes, a spiraliforme hour
course... in less than half tiny a perfect circle
came to form itself, while in foundation a sibilante
buzz was heard and insistent... all at once my
attention came attracted from a species of movement
to "wave" that invested the high part
of the steles along one trattoria rectilinear...
the acting force was invisibile, but consisting
as a concrete object... when you will succeed
to catch up the place in which they had been come
to create the circles, we were you invest from
a strong air whirling arm... the dog seemed driven
crazy... was a rumble... then, of blow, all quietò...
was a lot, much strange one... while the bottom
noises disappeared, the sky rabbuiò...
”. The sibilante buzz could constitute one
meaningful member. E’ noticed state in fact
in an other case, that one happened the 16 june
1991, when a great circle of beyond 20 m of diameter
(with a "eye of ox" centers them) had
appeared in the Devon. While Lew Dilling, operator
of one local radio, was being syntonized on the
just frequencies of transmission, it had picked
up of marks them acute and strong, that it had
immediately recognized, from the moment that already
more than once was capitato to it to perceive
them just in occasion of manifesting itself of
the phenomenon of the circles. It had to declare:
"it marks them was therefore strongly that
the voice of the America could be perceived also
in foundation to Moscow Radio or, well-known issuing
the most powerful ones".
The Sean, manager pub local Hassall, had intuito
that outside, in the near field, he was succeeding
something of strange from the anomalous behavior
of its dog that, like driven crazy, had begun
to make pieces a carpet. The owner of the field,
Dudley Stidson, had been instead informed of the
appearance of the circle from two hikers. Course
in its hay field, just in means, had found a circle
enormous. This time, but, to difference of the
others, the vegetation was singed, like if the
circular print it had been obtained under the
weight of a great warm plate. Stidson held to
specify that not was visible signs of intrusione,
neither prints of eventual trampoli. In the same
period other agriculturist, Peter Goodail, rinvenne
a circle of approximately 18 m of diameter in
one its cultivated field to late grain. Some days
after these facts, a Japanese teacher announced
public of having resolved the mysterious one.
Professor the Yoshihiko Ohtsuki, of the university
Waseda di Tokio, said to have created in laboratory
of "the elastic" plasma fire balls,
one be extreme of ionizzata air. When one of these
globes of energy entered in contact with aluminum
a covered powder surface, the granelli impalpabili
circles and perfect rings were arranged according
to. According to Ohtsuki the fire balls were generated
from the atmospheric conditions and when they
were approached the land they possessed the sufficient
energy in order to fold the grain steles in the
fields. For some time one thought that the mystery
was resolved once for all. But it was be a matter
of pure illusion. In fact, they began to appear
various designs, not only circles, but also rectangles
and shapes similar to the teeth of one key that
fuoriuscivano from the circles. In any case, others
were however the objections moved from the critics
us to the hypothesis of the Japanese university
professor. As an example, the balls of energy
from he invocate had always modest dimensions
- large way those of a football from soccer -
and were already more than visible. How it could,
one ball much large one to be in a position to
shaping circles of beyond 20 m of diameter passing
unnoticed? And then, as the eyewitnesses of the
phenomenon never did not make never not even a
signal the presence of luminous globes of energy?
Someone tried also to invent a theory, says therefore,
agricultural. The fertilizer excess, junior clerk
to the cultivated one in order to make it to grow
more quickly, yes would have carried out its action
of greater push to the increase, but also induced
the abnormal ears to yield alone under their same
weight, folding itself. But there are at least
two objections: which reason never would have
a peasant in order to only spray a greater fertilizer
amount in one small part of its field and, for
more, following it complicates designs to you?
And, still: in order which mysterious reason the
ears are always folded in hour sense? In an important
international symposium entitled “L' enigma
of the circles in the grano” tenutosi in
1990, John Micheli had to suggest an interesting
hypothesis, attributing to the meant phenomenon
a precise one: "I mean to say that the meant
one, the sense of all this, is in the way in which
it influences on the opinion that if of ago people",
in order to continue, adding: "According
to Jung the meant one of the ufologiche manifestations
is that one to emphasize epochal changes of thought
of the humanity; well, this function has been
inherited and is hour carried out from the phenomenon
of the circles in the grain ". In order to
succeed to comprise in the better possible way
these affirmations, we must recall the junghiano
concept of "sincronicità" or,
for being clearer, than "meaningful coincidence".
According to this idea, a meaningful coincidence
is something that comes created from the unconscious
mind, probably with the purpose to recall that
conscious to one condition of deeper perception.
The sincronicità strabilianti has, in fact,
the extraordinary one to be able makes us to imagine
that behind the truth of the daily paper they
hide instead deep still means all to you to explore.
Some writers you turn to a less optimistic vision
- like, as an example, Shakespeare or Thomas Hardy
- thought various, noticing in all this the sign
of the presence beyond the life of one malevola
intelligence. For Jung it is the opposite one:
the meaningful coincidences are the sign that
the presence is instead positive and benevolent.
In one of its written, he it has suggested to
mean the UFO like a classic example of what in
psycology it comes called "projection",
than other would not be that the visible manifestation
on the physical plan of living of the unconscious
mind for through of the unconscious collective.
In practical, Micheli it suggests that the circles
in the grain carry out this same function. Imagining,
as an example, that the circles are indeed bearers
of ' ' meant ", this could reach to us from"
other intelligences "in action in order to
influence our way to think. Draft of a hypothesis
that it covers from always the thematic ufologica,
since the first happened official sights to the
beginning of years Forty and disclosed on immense
scale from the writer of fantascienza Arthur C.
Clarke in the cinematographic version of its novel
2001: Odissea in the space (more just in logon
with the idea that advanced intelligences have
contributed in determining way to the evolution
of human intelligence). Before and logic critical
observation is in this: to say that someone from
outside contributed to the human evolution is
conflicting, from the moment that the phenomenon
is something of endogenous, inner: of sure, a
advanced intelligence would understand it better
than how much it does not succeed in we. However,
it is also also true that intelligence progresses
and it is developed under the push of the curiosity,
of the sense of the mystery, and that phenomena
in appearance absurd as those ufologici or the
circles of the grain have senz' other the undeniable
one to be able to act as from powerful goaders.
Micheli concludes, finally, its thought citing
the words of Jung, second which the UFO is "signs
of changes is decided to you that they coincide
with closing itself of was". And that Jung
has or does not have reason, it must be recognized
more that the UFO has strongly contributed to
put molding on the transformation of the mentality
of the modern man in the passage from the short-sighted
typical scientific provincialismo of the first
half of XX the century, to the opened mentality
towards the mysteries of the universe that has
characterized the second part. To the end, than
the phenomenon of the circles in the grain it
reveals or "a natural" explanation could
not also turn out little important, if deep meant
its is in contributed having, just on the goal
of XX the century, to open our horizon of human
beings on spaces wider than thought and imagination.
To the beginning of september of 1991, some persons
who autodichiaravano of the jokers, said of to
have been the authors of some between the cases
more extraordinary than circles in the grain.
Two of they, Dave Chorley and Doug Bower, succeeded
in to declare that they were thirteen years that
were amused to the shoulders of all. Fred Day
said quite that the life was all that made it.
Accepted the challenge, Chorley and Bower they
decided of giving one demonstration of their technique
in front of the television cameras and to a task
force of the phenomenon. But the result was decidedly
poor, therefore like already was happened in the
case sponsored from the "Daily Mirror"
that we have cited. The opinion of the experts
is that, to how much some cases can really re-enter
in the category of the jokes, the overwhelming
majority of the phenomena introduce a genuinità
print, ribadita is from the perfection of the
designs is from the lack of traces of intrusione
in lands. It goes without saying, however, than
the definitive test it will be supplied from the
costanza of the phenomenon in the time. If we
are in the presence of jokes and fiction, sooner
or later the authors will get tired themselves;
if, viceversa, as it seems to happen for the UFO,
the phenomenon gives signs of continuity, it will
not be late sure to even manifest itself still
and in massive way.
