Crop circles are areas of plants flattened (usually) into recognizable designs--most often found in fields of growing cereal crops (wheat, barley, oats, rye, etc.). They also occur in corn (maize), grasses, reeds and all sorts of vegetables, and sometimes--according to the scientific plant data available--these more randomly-downed (no discernible pattern) areas contain the same plant abnormalities as have been documented in genuine "geometric" formations. Crop circles are occurring, as best we can tell, all over the world, with the modern "flap" having been first noted in the England in the 1970s--and there is documentation indicating they occurred and were reported as early as the 17th century.

Although some modern crop formations are known to have been mechanically-flattened by people, scientific research
published by the BLT Research Team in the 1990s has established plant & soil abnormalities which cannot be caused by "pranks with planks".

Crop Circles in the USA most often occur on PRIVATE PROPERTY

2011:

Bark River (nr. Harris), MICHIGAN - October 13, 2011  (maize)
Two reportedly 125 ft. diam. circles found +/- 50 yards apart in 2 different varieties of maize in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Farmer saw no footprints in or outside circles when found and states that plants in both circles were flattened counter-clockwise & close to the ground, with none broken in spite of extreme dryness of crop.

Rocky Point Marsh, NEW YORK - September 14, 2011   (Grasses) A 30 ft. diameter, mostly circular area of flattened marsh grasses, the center of which is swirled in a manner typical of formations in grass elsewhere (http://www.bltresearch.com/robbert/easter2011.php). There were several other, smaller, similarly-swirled areas nearby, but the perimeters of all are irregular. No other details available.

Beardstown, ILLINOIS - Mid- to Late-June, 2011  (Wheat)
A 49 ft. diam. circle flattened counter-clockwise, discovered at harvest. Farmer reports no evidence of footprints in or outside circle when found and no broken plant stems. BLT fieldworkers measured no variation from background radiation (15 clicks/min.) but registered erratic bursts of magnetic & DC electric fields inside circle only.

Prairie Grove, ILLINOIS - June 26 +/-, 2011  (Grass)
An approximately 10 ft. diameter 6-8 inch-wide darkened ring in grass (not a crop circle) which has continued to be present through several mowings. Witnesses report that the ring looked like a “surge of heat” might have caused it. We’ve asked that the ring be examined for evidence of fungi, which is a likely cause.

Hanover, VIRGINIA - June 4, 2011  (Wheat?)
An extensive area of randomly-downed crop w/multiple standing tufts & partly circular elements, much of which is centered around base of electric pylon (red arrow).  No storms reported in area during this time-period. A watch malfunctioned inside downed areas; other electronics did not.  For more info regarding research on randomly-downed crop see Item #2: http://www.bltresearch.com/otherfacts.php.

Hardy, VIRGINIA - May 16, 2011  (Field Grasses)
A small circle reported as having no footprints in or near it when found. However Dutch medium Robbert v/d Broeke, upon seeing the photos, immediately “saw” (in his mind’s eye) a local teenage paperboy named “Mike” making the circle.  Robbert was correct; read the details:  http://www.bltresearch.com/robbert/hardy.php.

Madisonville, TENNESSEE - May 12, 2011  (Young Wheat)
A mechanical-looking formation found in the same field & nearly the same location (& with a very similar design) as one found here in 2007.  Altho suspicious-looking, fieldwork with plant & soil analysis is more reliable than “design” appearance in determining authenticity. See the Crop Circle Connector for fieldwork results.
