Experiences and observations of the Crop Circle in
OVERTON HILL, EAST KENNETT
Found 26 July, 2006

But perhaps the most convincing feature was the property of the stalk roots. As I picked up several stalks from inside the formation, about 60-70% of them had their roots bent to the opposite direction of the rest of the plant, as shown by the sample images below. Control samples from the surrounding standing crop had some roots bent into a certain direction horizontally, but perhaps just some 20% of them. Besides, inside the crop circle it's not enough that the roots are bent into a horizontal position, but they have to be bent towards a certain direction. How likely is this to happen in 60-70% of the plants?

This last picture shows a stalk with the underground portion of the stem bent into an arc!

Now of course we must keep in mind that what ever force caused the roots to bend this way, it is an unknown force and it's not necessarily associated with the creation of the crop circle. For the roots to bend from a vertical into a horizontal position should take some time, probably several days, but there were not several days since the formation appeared overnight for sure. So it's quite possible that this effect took place after the formation had already been laid down, perhaps caused by the altered energy fields caused by the redirectioning of the stalks. IF this altered field is enough to bend the roots of the plants, then it's certainly also enough to cause changes in the nodes and seedheads, as has been observed in many formations. But what is this energy field? Is it just the EM field caused by the electricity created by the plants as they rub against each other and have water flowing inside them? Or is another kind of energy, perhaps microwaves, needed for this kind of effects to take place?

A cute feature in the center of the small circle located halfway of the lightning bolt; seven standing stalks all bent in the same angle, exactly at the same height - and pointing towards seven directions!

Now a bit higher towards the top of Overton hill, in the direction the lighning bolt appeared to be pointing to, there was a messy area of flattened or half flattened crop. It was quite apparent that this had been caused at least a few days earlier, because the flattened stalks had already started growing towards the sun. Most people ignored this detail, but it seemed to have something to do with the "actual" crop circle. And I did notice similar messy bits around other crop circles I visited this season. these bits didn't seem to be experiments by wanna-be circle-makers, because they were too random-looking for that (also in some other places these were located in the midst of standing stalks with no paths leading to them). Janet Ossebaard from The Netherlands was there and found some "blown nodes" in the stalks picked from that area, which suggests a strong energy. Perhaps this was some sort of preparation or "calibration" for the crop circle that was executed later?

The fresh crop circle was drawing people like a magnet. There was not yet any news about it in the internet, yet dozens of people were entering it during the first half of wednesday, the day it appeared. As usually, the crop circle caused these international people to have intensive discussions with each other. I staid rather long and two times I engaged myself into a silent meditation, together with some other people. During these mediatations I had some subtle visions about how energies were flowing around this formation.

I had a sensations of energy lines extending into four directions at first, but then into all directions, radiating from the center of the large circle. This center was then drawing energy into it and "pouring" it into a deep tubelike shaft going downwards. As a response a bright pilar of light burst from inside the Earth and shot directly upward. This kind of visions make me further convinced of the importance of a formation and I'm inclined to think these visions are only triggered by crop circles that are at least partly created by non-human forces.

During the second meditation I had a strong vision of the "lightning bolt". It was shooting out from the circle in a very rapid speed, indeed as a lightning, so that the next step of the ziczac line began to go down before the previous one was finished. This would of course create the impression I talked about earlier.
