CROP WATCH 2002

SINGLE CIRCLE FORMATION - RADVILLE, SASKATCHEWAN; UPDATE - WEYBURN, MIDALE, LIMEHOUSE AND MISSION FORMATIONS

Single circle reported by pilot and CCCRN field research assistant John Erickson near Radville, Saskatchewan. Further details pending. This is the thirteenth report for 2002.

Some of my initial scan photos of stalk node anomalies (canary seed crop) from the Weyburn, Saskatchewan formation have been posted to the web site, showing swollen (primarily on one side of the stalk), torn and ruptured nodes from inside formation compared with normal control nodes from outside formation. Also, some of the evening photos I took inside the formation have interesting multiple BOLs ('balls of light') in them, some quite large and bright; these will be posted also asap. Possibly flash reflections from mosquitoes or dust, but they are another anomaly to be studied further in any case.

Ground examination and aerial photos of the Midale, Saskatchewan formation have shown that a small sixth circle was added to the cluster of five existing circles near the larger ring sometime between the initial report August 17 and the CCCRN ground / air studies done on September 4 (as well as many paths by visitors!). Additional aerial and ground photos will be posted asap.

Subsequent recent ground photos taken at the Limehouse, Ontario formation by CCCRN field research assistant Matt Rock show a pronounced 'greening' of the cut crop (wheat) inside the flattened areas of the formation. Some of these have been posted to the web site.

Also re the two Mission, BC formations in corn, the landowner has denied further investigation by CCCRN or anyone else after consultation with his family. Sampling for lab studies will therefore not be possible, especially unfortunate as formations in the Fraser Valley area here near Vancouver are very rare, almost unheard of. There is also a rumour that these were 'Signs'-related creations by local youth and there is a movie complex nearby. Additional photos to be posted for these formations asap as well.

The Media page has also been updated again, with further listings including a front page story in the Calgary Herald newspaper (September 5), additional filming by Partners in Motion (Regina, SK) for an upcoming program on the Canadian circles in Spring of 2003 (tentatively for the Discovery Channel), as well as previously noted major pieces including the soon upcoming Star Dreams documentary this fall (Space), the Unsolved Mysteries program in the US on the 2001 Canadian circles (August 2), a feature cover story in Prairie Dog (July 25, Regina, SK), and others.
