The Face and the Message - hat do They Mean and Where are They From?
On the morning of 20th August 2001, a new crop formation was found in a wheatfield at Wherwell, a village near Andover, Hampshire. It turned out to be the image of a huge face, made from isolated clumps of standing wheat like half-tone printing dots or computer pixels.
Paul Vigay, director of the Independent Research Centre for Unexplained Phenomena, was called in. He is a computer expert, and he quickly identified and decoded the mysterious script. It was, or it pretended to be, a communication from space - a response to radio signals transmitted from earth 27 years earlier.
On 16th November 1974 a government-backed group, SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence), used the giant telescope at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico to beam a coded radio message into space. The target was the globular star cluster M13 in the constellation of Hercules, 25,000 light years away from us. The message gave technical details about ourselves and our solar system. The apparent reply, expressed in the symbols of the crop formation, gave corresponding data about another inhabited area of the universe.
In this pamphlet, John Michell investigates this extraordinary phenomenon, looking at the whole subject of crop circles, their conspiracies and hoaxers, and the possibility that this may be a conspiracy by the phenomenon itself or by the intelligence that directs it. A fascinating and highly provocative piece of detective work, this pamphlet will re-ignite the debate on the mysterious artforms that appear annually in our fields and have never been satisfactorily explained.
JOHN MICHELL was editor of the first crop circle magazine, The Cereologist, and has an abiding interest in all strange phenomena, about which he has written several highly respected books. He is also recognised as the world authority on ancient science and religion, and is much quoted as the expert on ancient civilisations and what they reveal to us.
