Crop Formation Quick Tips

There are rules to be followed in discovering or visiting a crop formation that are every bit as valid as those set down for investigating UFO sightings or landings. If you wish to maintain your credibility within the field of anomaly research then stick to them. Here are some guidelines you might wish to remember:

Someone has to be the first to spot a circle and it could be you. If this is the case then it will pay you to remember some important facts. The Laws of Trespass in Britain have been beefed up, and you can avoid complications later by first obtaining permission from the farmer or landowner before you head off across a field in pursuit of your find. Okay, you could be asked for a small 'donation' -- in the form of a pound or two -- but it's not much to pay under the circumstances. I doubt any farmer would consider the sums he may make from this venture as one likely to offset the loss of crop, and aggrivation derived from countless plodding feet on his land.

Approach any formation in a field with care. Avoid trampling through growing crops and stick to the tracks of a farmer's tractor, for they will undoubtedly lead you into a circle. If your role isn't that of investigation, then while moving around try to disturb as little as possible. Remember too, that the designs which appear in the countryside -- whether manmade, created by a mystery intelligence, or Mother Nature herself all benefit by being viewed from the air. Don't blur the image for a handful of aerial photographers who record these seasonal events.

Following basic rules of conduct such as this can only enhance your own and other peoples appreciation of the evolving designs worked unseen in our fields. They are there to be experienced and enjoyed, regardless of who or what created them.
