Is it still a mystery? “It is a major scientific problem. If even one of the circle makers is not a hoax we’ll have to re-think everything,” explained one expert, “and there are thousands.”

Harvesting of the food supply has been interfered with for more than a decade in England, and increasingly elsewhere in the world, by an undetected intrusion into our environment. During the period more than 3,000 “crop circles” have been created in grain crops in at least 30 countries.

About 80 percent of these have been concentrated in a small area of the United Kingdom. And yet, no one has ever been arrested for “willful damage.” No one. Isn’t that odd?

F riday Night at the Library, at 8 p.m. April 8, Bob Scott will present a program that will summarize what has been learned about this challenging international phenomenon during the past few years.

For a few weeks in 1992 the global media gave wide-spread attention to Dave Chorley and Douglas Bower, described as “two elderly landscape painters” who stomped down wheat for the TV cameras like a pair of grim reapers and claimed to have been the perpetrators of a gigantic jest.

That media blitz was supposed to provide the final solution for all time to the Crop Circle Mystery. But Dave and Doug actually admitted to making only one percent of the total formations. Neither do they come close to representing the very high intellectural profile of the Super Hoaxers, whoever they may be.

“We will not try to solve the mystery. In fact, the mystery may become even more mysterious. But it will be intriguing. You can become instant experts on a very interesting subject,” promised Bob Scott who has assembled a series of short videos, some of which have never before been shown to any public audience. <.
