We Know...
Don't believe anything you hear, and only half of what you see.
Well, we've been doing that for this past century, and the end result is that a lot of activity around us has either gone unnoticed or been ignored. The "activity" of concern here has to do with action in our air and markings on our ground. Vehicles of some sort, occupied and controlled, have been zipping through our restricted air spaces, at high altitude and low, without regard for regulations that would put a law breaking Earthling in the brig. The key word here is “Earthling”. Whatever intelligence it is that makes the decisions to fly anywhere around our globe, at any time, obviously has complete control of his/her situation, and appears to be completely free of any Earthly rulebook. His vehicle uses a motive power unknown to us, though the flight we record
on tape, see with our eyes, and track with our radar, tells us the power is out there, perhaps available for our own use. But…we don’t believe what we see.
Markings on our ground, by some called “crop circles”, have been showing up
in all sorts of odd places, all over our planet, for centuries. During the past few decades, the markings that have caught our eyes have been those that have arrived quietly, at night, in English grain fields. Designs have been drawn in fields elsewhere, but they have been those found in south western England since the 1970’s that have been most curious. Thirty years ago, the designs formed by the laying over of grain plants, while leaving others standing along side, were seen from above the fields as circles and rings. As passing motorists and those aloft paid greater attention to the markings, their complexity grew. Rings and circles became intertwined, corridors appeared to connect clusters
of individual formations, and the whole phenomenon developed into a magnificent annual summertime display. Explanations as to how these drawings have been formed, why they are here for our review, and whether
or not they contain a message, have been offered by amateur and professional observers alike. The designs, displaying complex geometrical and mathematical genius, may be the products of inventive minds “visiting” our planet. For all the effort put into the construction of these ever more complex and beautiful drawings, however, whether made by us or “others”, there are many throughout our society who…don’t believe what they see.
What to do...?
If it has become important to “others” that we on Earth now rapidly develop
an awareness of our association with a populated universe, there may be a plan afoot to attract our stubbornly earth-bound attention. That plan may have been activated, and perhaps accelerated recently. An exchange of information appears to have taken place between our planet and some intelligent entity “out there”. A message, created by us in 1974, and broadcast into the heavens from an earthbound radio telescope, has accounted for half of a completed transmission. The other half of the exchange, a returned message, appears to have been found in the form of a crop design in a wheat field in Chilbolton, England, just this past August of 2001.
That an electronic digital message, delivered to a distant point in our sky, might be returned as a two dimensional diagram on the surface of our planet, is a most startling turn of events. It was not an event anticipated by the operators of the radio telescope. And yet, this appears to be exactly what has happened. The details are interesting, causing even those who choose not to believe what they see, to take notice.
In 1974, a message was devised to be broadcast far into space, telling whoever or whatever received it, that there is intelligence on Earth. The message was cleverly constructed of binary digits, ones and zeros, telling the story of man, his planet location near a sun, and of his biological makeup. As a two dimensional diagram, when viewed from above, the message appeared to be constructed of perfectly aligned pixels familiar to all who have looked closely at newspaper photos. There were several other details, all of which can be found in other publications (1.) The message was beamed from a huge radio telescope in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, using billions of watts of power to assure its arrival as a recognizable signal many light years distant. No questions were asked of the potential receiver of the message, and none was anticipated to
be returned, given the time and distances involved. For all the attempt at creating a narrowly focused beam of energy to contain the message, however, it appears that the message was received “locally”, rather than thousands of light years away. Within 27 of our Earth years from the date of transmission, the message, with sophisticated corrections and alterations, was returned to Earth as a crop design at Chilbolton for all the world to see, and to study.
The rectangular crop design found on August 19, 2001, which was basically
the recreation of the original message broadcast from Arecibo in 1974 , is now the subject of much discussion. It will be the favorite topic of conversation among crop design researchers for the next several months, and at least until the spring of 2002. All who question the validity of the returned message will be anxious to see the first few crop formations come spring. Rather than as the broad, sweeping, circular designs of past seasons, will the next offerings be rectangular, incorporating the continued use of pixels? More importantly, will future crop designs clearly contain information as seen at Chilbolton? No crop design of earlier years had so clearly displayed useful, understandable, and sophisticated biological information. None had been so recognizable as a message, though a few had been interpreted as such. And, of course, the question in the minds of all who have been studying the formations for years… has Cerealogy taken a turn? Have we seen the last of “recreational” formations, and the beginning of purposeful presentations designed to assist us on Earth to mature? We will see….. Or, more appropriately, will we allow ourselves to see?
