409 — CONFLICT

On August 11, 2001, Galaxy appeared, a formation composed of 409 circles. A few weeks later, Russian teenagers sent the Teen Age Message into space and explicitly asked for a reply.

Then came September 11.

Twenty-five years later, Galaxy still remains to be decoded: every detail matters. On the Web, HTTP status code 409 means “Conflict”.

409 Conflict, Galaxy, Teen Age Message and September 11, 2001

And 409 is not confined to the Web: it is also a prime number. The same number therefore lies at the crossroads of mathematics and computing, while the chronology that follows Galaxy leads us into a period of major conflicts with global repercussions.

Chance, coincidence, or another level in a system already far more complex than it appears? This new dossier brings the elements together and lets everyone follow the chronology for themselves.

I would also like to point out that, in UFO lore, people often imagine that an outside intelligence would intervene if we went too far. Maybe. But intervening does not necessarily mean turning up in the middle of a conflict with a big “Hi, here we are”. It is also possible to prevent the irreparable without getting involved in everything. And when tensions are running high, it may not be the best time to reveal oneself openly. The crop circle phenomenon, for its part, does not seem to be in any particular hurry: it has continued for decades without ever imposing anything. So contact is not necessarily broken. Perhaps one simply continues to remain discreet until the tension subsides. This is, of course, only my personal view.

EXO, CRYPTO AND TALOS ARE ON A BOAT

What if some intelligences associated with UAP had not only come from elsewhere, but were already here, hidden within the terrestrial environment?

This is the hypothesis explored in an academic paper published in 2024 by Tim Lomas, Brendan Case and Michael P. Masters. Two of the three authors are affiliated with Harvard University, while the third is affiliated with Montana Technological University.

Cryptoterrestrial hypothesis, Exo, Crypto and Talos

Under the name cryptoterrestrial hypothesis, they cautiously examine several possibilities: an ancient human civilization that survived, another technologically advanced terrestrial species, beings from elsewhere who settled here, time travellers, and even certain ancient figures once interpreted as fairies, elves or nymphs.

For my part, I add Talos, as a nod to another form of cognition now very much present among us: non-biological intelligence.

WHEN A COLD BEAM FROM THE SKY STOPS YOU FROM PANICKING AND AN ICE CUBE FROM THE FREEZER STOPS YOU FROM SMOKING

UFO literature occasionally mentions beams of light that produce an intense sensation of cold when they come into contact with an observer.

One well-known case involved a young man named Chuck Doyle in 1980. When a green beam allegedly struck him, he described the effect as being like “having a bucket of ice-cold water thrown over him.” He reportedly remained conscious but was unable to move or even blink.
His account can be found in the archives of the Journal of Borderland Research: VIEW THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENT

IAPSOP stands for International Association for the Preservation of Spiritualist and Occult Periodicals. This volunteer project preserves and digitizes old publications devoted in particular to spiritualism, occultism and various fringe phenomena.

The fact that a witness account is made available in these archives obviously does not mean that the organization endorses its content. Its value is primarily documentary: it provides access to the historical publications in which such accounts were originally recorded.

Cold beam, woman frozen beneath a UFO with a house in the background

Two other reports from 1967 explicitly mention a sensation of cold.

On October 11, 1967, in Aldersyde, Alberta, Canada, a woman reportedly observed a dark, oval-shaped object with a dome circling above her car. During the sighting, the vehicle’s electrical system reportedly failed, then began working again after the object departed. The witness also reported feeling cold during the incident.

A few days later, on October 27, 1967, in Weston Coyney, near Stoke-on-Trent in England, a witness reportedly saw an object descend vertically before stopping about thirty metres above the ground. The luminous object allegedly emitted a faint humming sound and remained stationary for around ten seconds. During the sighting, the witness reported a sensation of cold throughout his body, before the object rapidly moved away.

Both cases are listed in NICAP’s chronology for 1967: VIEW NICAP'S 1967 CHRONOLOGY

These accounts therefore highlight a rather curious association between the proximity of a UFO and a sudden sensation of cold. Today, they take on an interesting new perspective when compared with a perfectly human physiological mechanism.

Cold is indeed used to rapidly interrupt certain states of intense emotional arousal or powerful cravings. Clinical psychologist Angus Munro describes it as a genuine “physiological circuit breaker”: intense exposure to cold, particularly around the face and neck, can trigger the diving reflex, a natural mechanism in the human body that slows the heart rate, engages the parasympathetic nervous system and can therefore reduce the state of physiological alert.

THE ICE TECHNIQUE FOR PANIC AND CRAVINGS

The same principle is part of the TIPP skills used in DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), a therapeutic approach used clinically to help manage intense emotions and powerful urges. The “T” in TIPP stands for Temperature. The aim is to generate a physical signal strong enough to temporarily interrupt the emotional cascade.
LEARN MORE ABOUT DBT

And this is where the story more modestly meets that of the ice cube.

In practical terms, the technique can involve ice cubes wrapped in a cloth, a cold object or cold water, applied to the face or neck, or simply held in the hands for around thirty seconds to help ease a cigarette craving, a sudden surge of anxiety or another compulsive urge.

None of this, of course, demonstrates that the mysterious “cold beams” described in some UFO reports actually served this purpose. But it does raise an interesting question: in some cases, could this sudden cold have had the effect of immediately altering the observer’s physiological response, precisely at a moment when they would have every reason to panic (!) with all the consequences one can imagine?

Admittedly, there is no direct connection between crop circles, a flying saucer that decides to refrigerate you, the umpteenth cigarette you are about to light that day, or anxiety brought on for any number of reasons, but I thought this information might still be of interest to you.

THE ANT PARADOX
Here is a remarkably absurd idea. In this story, we are the ants: observers capable of examining what lies before them, but who still try to understand a potentially very different intelligence through their own criteria.

VARIOUS UPDATES
Several updates are currently being made throughout the site.

In the Time Portal, in the Files section, a link has been added to a particularly interesting document about the famous story of the two old men who supposedly created a large proportion of the crop circles that appeared at the end of the 20th century.

In the Local Videos section, several short videos illustrating different crop circles have been listed. This page now provides a quicker overview of the shapes, structures and symbols that crop circles can represent.

Finally, on the Video Selection page, a video has been added for those who would like to better understand the role of the Sun in the crop circle investigation. In particular, it provides some very interesting explanations about coronal holes.

COMING SOON
A short note, especially for younger visitors, but not only for them. A section specifically devoted to the Sun will soon be added to the site. The idea will be to allow those who wish to do so to gradually become familiar with a few basic notions of astrophysics and with the workings of our star.

And if you are among the visitors following the progress of my research, you have probably already understood that understanding solar activity will become essential in the continuation of this investigation.

I will also make a few very simple tips available to you, or simply remind you of some of them, to make browsing and accessing information easier. A great deal of interesting material is published only in English, and the language barrier or certain difficulties with computers can quickly become an obstacle. Yet a few simple steps are often enough to translate a page directly in your browser, listen to a video in your own language, or access certain resources more easily.

Of course, if you mainly come here for the little stories and the gossip surrounding the subject, you will certainly find something to keep you entertained. But if you are among those who think that some crop circles are based on a genuine writing system, what comes next should interest you much more.

A page dedicated to research will also be offered, together with a small Research Kit. This time, the aim will no longer simply be to make Internet browsing easier, but to give you a few tools so that you can begin checking some of the data used in my research for yourselves. You do not need to be an engineer. Sometimes, opening one or two free accounts will be enough to carry out your own checks.

2001 – THE AMBASSADOR

The 2001 – The Ambassador feature has been moved and now has its own dedicated page.

On 11 August 2026, we marked the 25th anniversary of the appearance of Galaxy and the Chilbolton Face. The latter has always remained somewhat in the background. Yet it may be precisely the one that matters most.

It could represent those with whom we are in contact — in other words, the civilisation that may have made contact with us through the crop circles. Its human appearance is undeniable. Even so, we cannot be certain that it is actually human. It could even belong to a civilisation related to humanity, perhaps one of our distant relatives.

Read the full feature: 2001 – The Ambassador

This feature is ongoing.
The site is currently being prepared to accommodate the next major features.

America is finally taking extraterrestrials seriously...

TIME magazine has published an extensive feature examining the changing attitude in the United States towards unidentified anomalous phenomena. Congressional hearings, the creation of AARO (All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, the Pentagon office responsible for investigating unidentified anomalous phenomena), the publication of official reports and the establishment of a scientific council led by astrophysicist Avi Loeb all reflect a striking change: a subject long pushed to the margins is now being treated as a genuine scientific and national-security issue.

The article also highlights a remarkable shift in public opinion: 84% of Americans surveyed want the government to release more information about UAP, while 69% regard their reality as established. The origin of these phenomena, however, remains unresolved: advanced human technology, misinterpretation, or an exotic origin.

As the director of AARO points out, evidence sufficient to establish an extraterrestrial origin has still not been found.

Note the rather judicious use of the term exotic rather than extraterrestrial.
In the end, our decision to use this term as far back as 2001 made sense.
It leaves room for adjustment. Thus, the sentence “evidence sufficient to establish an extraterrestrial origin has still not been found” could one day be replaced by: “evidence pointing towards a terrestrial origin, but one that does not belong to our civilisation, is beginning to emerge.”

Note: not to be confused: TIME is an American magazine, whereas The Times is a British daily newspaper.

The Video Selection page has been updated. Among the new additions is a video devoted to the Rendlesham Forest case. The case is fairly complex and the video is in English, but those particularly interested in the subject can, where necessary, make use of AI-generated audio translation.

The other featured video is an interview with Bruno Mignot, a French Air Force general and former fighter pilot, available on The Paranormal Show. The interview is particularly relevant to the UFO/UAP dossier.

As a reminder, Culture-Crop may select, present or share videos because of their documentary value without necessarily endorsing all the views expressed by their authors or guests. Party-political considerations are not the subject here. What interests us is the UFO/UAP dossier, how it is evolving, and the way in which information surrounding it is handled.

The STS-80 triangle: human (Aurora), non-human terrestrial, or extraterrestrial?

What they knew then, what they are publishing today
UAP/UFO – Three photographs from the STS-80 mission released by the U.S. Department of War

In November 1996, the Space Shuttle Columbia carried out the scientific STS-80 mission, during which it spent more than 17 days orbiting the Earth.

Three photographs taken on board show a luminous object with a triangular appearance, visible between the shuttle and our planet. Released on July 10, 2026, the original photographs are presented here alongside clearly identified versions enhanced using artificial intelligence, in order to make them easier to examine without confusing them with the official source images.

From one photograph to the next, the appearance and orientation of the triangular form seem to change. In the absence of precise information concerning the interval between the photographs, the position of the camera, and Columbia’s attitude, it remains impossible to determine whether this variation resulted from the object’s own movement or from a change in the observer’s viewpoint.

More basket weaving...

In my opinion, this new formation, which appeared on July 21, 2026, perfectly illustrates a trend that emerged just over twenty years ago: adding basket-weave patterns simply to impress the public.

Back then, some observers, dazzled by this detail, confidently told TV cameras that such weaving could never, under any circumstances, have been made by human hands. Needless to say, the crop makers weren't about to miss such a golden opportunity. They started weaving many of their creations, delighted by the dramatic effect it had on people's imagination.

Image: video excerpt from Stonehenge Dronescapes

The trick was woven. In fact, they no longer hide it today and openly admit that they deliberately used this type of weaving to create the illusion.
The problem is this: if a crop circle genuinely contains an exotic message, why would anyone deliberately make it even more confusing? Wasn't it already difficult enough? By adding decorative basket weaving or fancy textures, you only make the analysis harder. From the perspective of a genuine attempt at communication, it simply makes no sense.

Since the 1970s, we have apparently been unable to understand any possible message anyway. At least, nothing has ever emerged that could lead to a scientific consensus or even trigger a serious public debate. We can safely say that, to this day, the meaning of crop circles is simply not an issue for governments. So why would our supposed correspondent decide to throw an extra puzzle into the mix with decorative weaving? As you will soon discover—or rediscover—these textures have absolutely no meaning when compared with the surrounding landscape and environment. This aspect has been largely overlooked, especially by younger generations, whereas longtime researchers have always paid close attention to the region's megalithic sites.

Among the formations that have genuinely caught my attention—mostly the older ones—you simply never see this kind of basket weaving. Never.

My advice—whether you take it or not—is simple: ignore it.

The moment you spot basket weaving in bundled stems, remember one thing: it's their signature. The signature of the crop makers.

Now, if one day we were to discover a crop circle woven entirely stem by stem over a large area... that would be a completely different story. Interestingly, there appears to have been one such case in the past, in an otherwise very simple formation: a narrow border whose weaving could only be seen up close, each individual stem genuinely interlaced with another directly on the ground.

That kind of feature deserves careful attention. But these large decorative bundles? You're looking at a piece of human land art.

And to be fair, if the crop makers had the farmer's permission, then it really is art.

By the way, have you noticed how active and motivated they are this year? It almost feels as if they've all come out of hibernation. Unless they've simply multiplied.

Perhaps this renewed enthusiasm has something to do with Steven Spielberg's upcoming film Disclosure Day, which quietly chose to feature Galaxy.

Out of every crop circle he could have selected, that's the one he reproduced—without altering it. The only difference is that, instead of placing it on top of a hill as it is in reality, he relocated it to a field bordered by green trees, giving it more of a Normandy feel. That suggests he fully understood the importance of this giant formation announcing both the beginning of the third millennium... and contact itself. And the timing couldn't be better: Galaxy is about to celebrate its twenty-fifth anniversary. Quite a remarkable convergence:

- UAP declassification
- The major film Disclosure Day, inspired by real events
- Galaxy's symbolic twenty-fifth anniversary
- Exceptionally good weather, perfect for plank-made creations

Put all those elements together and it's hardly surprising that interest has surged again. As for the return of the UI (Unidentified Intelligence)? According to my own criteria, not yet. But every new formation still deserves to be archived for future analysis.

ARE CROP CIRCLES THE SECOND CHAPTER?

A question.
Why did flying saucer sightings come before modern crop circles? Why in that particular order?
If the two phenomena are completely unrelated, then the question doesn't even arise. But if they are part of the same communication strategy, then the chronology becomes very interesting.

First, you realize that we are probably not alone. Only then does a form of dialogue begin.

UAPs attract attention. Crop circles do the same, but they add a written dimension.

It's almost as if the two phenomena were answering each other. One unfolds in the sky—briefly, discreetly, sometimes spectacularly—before disappearing. The other remains on the ground, sometimes for several months, giving us time to observe it, measure it, photograph it... and perhaps begin to understand it.

AI Illustration

Thus, where UAPs are fleeting, crop circles are exactly the opposite. Permanent, to a certain extent, since crops themselves are temporary. Where the former come and go, the latter remain, waiting for us to examine them. It's almost as if, assuming the same intelligence lies behind both phenomena, it were pointing out the connection itself. First, it arrives. Then, it lands.

It is also worth noting that UAP sightings very often involve pilots, military personnel, or surveillance systems. Recent revelations in the United States have illustrated this perfectly. Crop circles, on the other hand, are accessible to everyone, whether in the field or on our screens. It's almost as if the centre of gravity of observation had gradually shifted.

Of course—and I'm speaking from experience—I should remind younger generations that there has always been a divide. When crop circles first entered the world of ufology, they were met with considerable scepticism. That's perfectly normal. New ideas almost always require time before they are taken seriously.

But today, a new question naturally arises: could crop circles actually be the second chapter of a collective first contact?
That still doesn't tell us who—or what—is behind all this, although I suspect most of us already have our own favourite theory...

For my part, this sequence has seemed remarkably logical ever since I began investigating the phenomenon. The only thing left is to understand what is actually being written.
And perhaps that's exactly why you're visiting websites devoted to crop circles... unless, of course, you're simply looking for inspiration before creating your next masterpiece in a wheat field!

PODCAST

JOURNALISM 2001 VS JOURNALISM 2026:
A CASE STUDY

In 2001, just a few months before Galaxy appeared, the BBC openly mocked UFOs. A handful of familiar science-fiction clichés, a few delightfully stereotypical little green aliens, and a sarcastic closing remark were apparently enough to dismiss the subject as little more than modern folklore.

The best part is undoubtedly the journalist's conclusion. He was absolutely convinced that the US Congress would probably take no interest in the subject... EVER. Unless, of course, a flying saucer happened to land on Capitol Hill—or at the very least somewhere within his own field of vision. (Even then, one wonders...)

Read the BBC article published in 2001

Twenty-five years later, UFOs have become UAPs and are now the subject of official investigations, as well as congressional hearings in the United States. And yet, not a single flying saucer has landed on Capitol Hill.

That BBC article has not aged well. Because unidentified flying objects do, after all, exist as an officially recognised phenomenon today—whatever explanation one ultimately favours.

The BBC's journalists must be feeling rather uncomfortable these days. Now that UAPs have become much harder to dismiss with ridicule, they seem to have returned to more familiar territory: crop circles.

In this report, however, the method hasn't changed. (Watch the BBC report broadcast in 2026)

After the usual introductory remarks, the BBC introduces a contributor said to provide a "highly factual and scientific perspective."

He is a psychologist specialising in parapsychology and forensic psychology. A familiar media figure in the UK, he is regularly invited onto BBC programmes to offer a sceptical perspective on allegedly unexplained phenomena. His academic credentials and frequent television appearances naturally lend him a certain authority in the eyes of the public.

A psychologist can explain how people think. He can analyse testimony, beliefs and behaviour. But the moment he starts telling us how Galaxy was made—and how long it took—he is no longer practising psychology.

He claims to have conducted an investigation? Fair enough. But investigations are supposed to produce evidence. If his goal was simply to tell us what to think without putting in too much effort, he couldn't have done it better...

First revelation: according to him, Galaxy was created by a team of human beings in around six hours.

Really? Do we know how many people were involved?

Because without knowing their number, it is simply impossible to estimate the time required to cover nearly six hectares—roughly the equivalent of eight football pitches.

Have the makers been identified? Has anyone produced a full-scale demonstration or reconstruction to support this estimate?

Nothing. Nada. Not a thing.

If the objective is to argue that the formation was completed in the course of a single night, then the very least we need to know is how many people supposedly carried out the work. Instead, viewers are simply expected to swallow that estimate whole.

And here is the question that was never asked on air: six hours... under what conditions?

According to several accounts published shortly after the event, the formation appeared during a night of torrential rain. Some reports even describe almost twenty-three consecutive hours of rainfall, lasting until the afternoon of 12 August 2001, leaving the field thoroughly waterlogged. Other investigators describe uneven ground, extremely poor visibility and, despite the soaked conditions, no visible footprints whatsoever. Yet none of these factors is mentioned when the six-hour estimate is presented.

Six hours, then. But in a dry field under ideal conditions—or in the actual conditions at Milk Hill?

The report contains another curious detail. Tim Carson, the farmer responsible for the Milk Hill field, states that there were no visible footprints in the crop. Yet moments later, the parapsychologist estimates how long the formation took to create without mentioning the absence of footprints at all. Is he genuinely familiar with the case, or is he implicitly challenging Carson's testimony?

The structure of the report is equally revealing. The viewer is first drawn into the mystery. Then, just as genuine questions begin to arise, the narrative shifts. The final word is handed to the sceptical contributor, who neatly closes the case without the slightest effort. It is a familiar formula: spark curiosity, then step into the role of the all-knowing expert to steer—perhaps even limit—the audience's thinking.

In reality, sceptical speculation is running at full throttle. Today, the BBC appears every bit as visionary when it comes to crop circles as it was back in 2001 when predicting the future of the UFO debate.

Personally, I suspect a crystal ball would have produced better results. Perhaps they should give that a try instead. Statistically speaking, it would probably be more accurate.

If I were in their position, after such a spectacular misjudgement, I would have learned to be a little less categorical when discussing subjects associated with the "supernatural". I would invite people who understand the value of qualified language. That, after all, is much closer to the scientific method.

So why is everything the wrong way round?

A few simple expressions would have been enough: "According to current knowledge...", "It would appear that...", or "The most likely explanation is..."

It is both fascinating and remarkable that someone who has apparently never studied the crop circle phenomenon in any real depth—yet admits to being merely fascinated by it—can still appear before millions of viewers and confidently explain that the mystery ultimately comes down to little more than planks of wood.

That's the magic of television.

These days, television is far better suited to watching a good film from the comfort of your sofa.

That is why the world is changing. More and more people are looking elsewhere for their information.

The real problem is not that journalists do not know. The real problem is that they speak—or invite others to speak—as though they do. On the basis of... nothing. And, apparently, they never seem to learn from their mistakes. Which suggests this may continue for quite some time.

BEYOND THEIR REACH

Flatteners like to claim responsibility for the most remarkable crop circles, especially the oldest ones. They may even use them as emblems in their own communication, despite not being their creators. Since they know that no legitimate authors will ever come forward to claim them, why would they refrain from doing so?

The unknown intelligence behind the Salisbury Plain phenomenon anticipated this long ago. The feature that sets its work apart is encoding.

The mystery lies neither in the manufacturing technique nor in the geometry. It lies in what has been encoded and transmitted.

They may imitate or copy a shape, but they will never create a genuine cosmogram. Quite simply because it is beyond their reach.

The symbols placed by this intelligence across Salisbury Plain are designed to endure through time. The others are ornamental creations, sometimes encoded, but serving only a human game.

Despite the renewed activity observed during the 2026 season, the phenomenon still appears to be on pause. When it returns, you will first recognize the signal by its style, and only later through its analysis. Neither a Cosmic Chicken, nor a triple 6 or 7, nor an opportunist at Milk Hill will announce its return.

Deep down, that's only natural. While the flatteners occupy the field, the genuine cosmograms leave us time to think. Until they return, someone is keeping the flame alive.

Speaking of which, Stonehenge Dronescapes has captured a beautiful aerial view featuring its little Cosmic Chicken. But what if it were actually a Cosmic Rooster? Could it be a prediction for the France–England match on July 19? We won't have to wait much longer to find out what the encoding means. Or perhaps it is simply the work of a French flattening team hoping to see the Rooster defeat Spain tomorrow. Who knows?

Crop Circle Season 2026
THE ETERNAL TRAP OF SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE

A word of advice for the younger among you.
A trap is constantly being set for you. You are presented with scientific studies, complex documents, and researchers you have never heard of. Whether they are reliable or not matters little because, in most cases, you will have absolutely no way to verify any of it yourself. You will therefore be forced to trust... a scientist. Or someone claiming to explain what a scientist has supposedly demonstrated.

That is where the trap lies.
And it is not because you are naïve that you fall into it. It is natural. Trust is natural. We also fell into this trap 20 years ago. We lost an incredible amount of time... and a great deal of energy.

Meanwhile, around the corner of a field, the Astrogors and the other crop flatteners were waiting for us... They could not care less about what really lies behind the phenomenon. They simply watch people marvel and run... after those famous scientific proofs. They find it amusing.

If we are indeed dealing with an other or exotic intelligence operating behind the scenes, and if its intention is to reveal itself to us, then we may reasonably assume that it has an intelligent plan. What would that plan be? Logically, it would consist of placing information in the fields that anyone can verify for themselves, without requiring any special qualifications. Isn't that exactly what we would expect from a phenomenon that appears to address everyone? Otherwise, it would make far more sense to send private letters to a handful of geniuses and hope they would take them seriously. Crop circles are displayed in full view of everyone; they are therefore meant for everyone.

First, focus on what you can verify for yourself. And if, while standing inside a crop circle, you feel something that you cannot demonstrate or even name, it may simply be because, even if the crop circle was created with wooden boards, it can still produce something resembling the so-called "form waves," a concept largely ignored by mainstream science. Dowsers have spoken about them for a long time. If you have never met a dowser and witnessed their abilities, it is perfectly normal to remain skeptical. But that is another subject altogether. I simply wish to introduce the idea of form waves as a field worthy of exploration for the more curious among you.

Let us continue observing calmly while avoiding the quagmire of scientific evidence as it has been presented to us for decades.
After all these years, it may well be that there is no need to rush.

Crop Circle Season 2026
THE HANDMADE DOILY – HANDCRAFTED, A LOVELY HOLIDAY SOUVENIR

This new crop circle displays a succession of individual rings. Almost every standing tuft has its own little swirl, and these swirls gradually merge together. When viewed at a reduced scale, the boundaries between the different groups become quite easy to distinguish, as if the formation had been built from a succession of separate modules. We could call them outlines, but perhaps the expression "construction seams" describes what we are seeing even better. Our eyes naturally follow these separations.

Excerpt from the 2001 Chilbolton Face. Photo by Charles Mallett, faithfully enlarged in size and detail, without alteration.

If we now compare this formation with the Chilbolton Face, or with the North Down crop circle from 2003, which it appears to draw inspiration from, the difference becomes immediately obvious. We are no longer looking at an accumulation of independent cells, but at a genuine field of circulation, a global movement with no obvious boundaries. The 383 standing tufts that make up the Face, some of them extremely small, would have required extraordinarily precise planning if the goal was ultimately to create a face with different shades of grey.

Here, it is much easier to imagine another construction logic, something a bit more "one again": "There's a bit of space left... go on, put one there. Hmm... I don't really like that one... flatten it all!" Obviously, this is a caricature, but it is the impression this composition gives me. In terms of technical challenge, we are clearly not in the same league.

In summary, the construction method remains visible in this recent formation. Our eyes can distinguish the different modules that compose the whole, and the effect becomes even more obvious when the photograph is viewed at a much smaller scale.
For the moment, the great show has not returned, and I don't think it will any time soon, even though the flatteners seem a little more energised this year (a little "Kiss Cool" effect from Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day?). Nevertheless, one gets the feeling that the various players operating in the fields—and elsewhere—are answering one another or sending each other little coded messages... follow my gaze.

Thanks to drone pilots, we now enjoy magnificent aerial views of the fields. It's a wonderful spectacle, even if it is far less enjoyable for the farmers.

2026 crop circle season
DOSSIER MOVED

The dossier on the triple 6 and triple 7 crop circles has been moved to a dedicated page.

crop circle 2026

Two formations that appeared in 2026 seemed to answer each other.

One of them, at Kingweston, almost evokes a four-eyed virus — this is simply my own interpretation — heading towards the Galaxy crop circle, or at least towards the place where it stood twenty-five years ago.

Three days later, a second crop circle appeared. This time, it looked like a shield — again, this is only my interpretation — or perhaps like the four pillars of a temple.

As I have been locating crop circles in this area over several years for several weeks now, when I discovered the Kingweston solstice formation, I simply noticed that it was quite far from the Pewsey Valley. So I decided to place it in relation to the approximate centre of Galaxy.

And then... I discovered the symbolic distance displayed in Google Earth!

WTF ! Sorry, the expression slipped out... 66.6 km and a few extra metres.

So I started climbing the wall of coincidences — a very high wall, by the way — to see whether there might be a simple explanation for this distance and for this rather infamous number, which needs no introduction nowadays.

So, what is going on here?

A ritual?
A space-time attack against the symbol of Galaxy?
A joke?

Anything is possible.
I had barely finished this first small anecdotal dossier when a new crop circle appeared, straddling a field of poppies and a cereal crop.

There was no way to move this one... since the aim seemed precisely to create some kind of firewall, a shield against the Kingweston attack. This time, the distance seemed to impose a kind of antidote to the triple 6.

And what could be better than a good triple 7... perfectly aligned on the same geodesic?

It is then fairly easy to guess the symbolic battle that seems to be taking place in the background.

Personally, I do not doubt for a second that we are dealing here with a perfectly human staging. Everything is based on human cultural codes, not universal ones.

Go and ask the peoples of Amazonia whether the numbers 666 or 777 mean anything to them... I think they will answer no.

All this shows just how clearly we are dealing with a simply human esoteric language.

Nothing to do, in my opinion, with a universal language.

What should we conclude from this?

That perhaps an invisible battle is being played out in the fields, hidden from the eyes of ordinary spectators.

But above all, I think that from now on, many people will start looking at this kind of thing more closely, drawing lines in Google Maps or Google Earth. However, it will be necessary to know the exact location of the old formations as precisely as possible.

A major positioning task lies ahead...

If I have the time, I will look at what this latest crop circle has to tell us, and I will share the result with you if anything interesting comes out of it.

It looks like a flower, but one of the flatteners does not seem to have followed the instructions. He laid the cereal crop down without following the direction originally intended.

I think you noticed it too, didn’t you?

FLASHBACK: THE ENIGMATIC CROP CIRCLE BOOK (2000)

Mosaic and Tessellated Patterns book crop circles

Extract from John Willson's book, Mosaic and Tessellated Patterns

The contents of this book featured some of the most beautiful patterns later found in crop circles from that period, as well as in formations that appeared afterwards. Did the circlemakers, or people associated with them, draw inspiration from it? Or should we consider extraterrestrials and other unknown visitors potentially travelling to our blue planet?
The book in question is entitled « Mosaic and Tessellated Patterns and How to Create Them », by John Willson.
Its pages contain graphic patterns identical or very similar to several crop circles that appeared in Wiltshire: the « Pillow » at Windmill Hill, the « Grid » at West Kennett and the « Moiré » at Avebury Trusloe.

Common Sense and the Question of Proof

PODCAST

Whenever a new crop circle appears, most of us follow the same process. We try to determine whether it could have been made by hand. We estimate the time required, the number of people involved, the logistics, the planning, the terrain constraints, and sometimes even the level of surveillance around the site. When possible, we also examine the geometry and the condition of the plants.

Then we look for something else: information.
Some kind of code.

One case I often return to is the famous Crabwood formation of 2002 — the giant alien face.

Today, it is endlessly recycled by influencers. Many of them have large audiences and comment on virtually every mysterious subject imaginable. Whether they have actually investigated the crop circle phenomenon themselves is another question entirely.

Most simply repeat old stories and recycled claims. Some may even have asked an AI to summarize the case for them. Then they pick up a microphone and present the result as established truth.

One stone, three birds: discredit crop circles, seduce alien enthusiasts, and provide free advertising for Signs (2002), a film whose storyline hardly rivals the finest Saturday-morning cartoons.

Take the famous alien face from 2002. Technically speaking, it is impressive. The grayscale rendering alone is a remarkable achievement.

But that may also be its only real achievement.
You can read its message as many times as you like:

“Beware the bearers of false gifts and their broken promises...”

You can read it forwards and backwards. You have learned nothing. This crop circle demonstrates nothing.

If some people still see it as the calling card of the famous “Greys,” that is fine. But it forces us to distinguish between two very different things: technical difficulty and informational value.

Things become far more interesting when a formation provides a specific piece of information. More interesting still when several formations appear to provide the same kind of information and begin to form a pattern across space and time. At that point, the simple human-hoax explanation starts to become less satisfying.

And this is where common sense enters the discussion.

In my view, common sense is ultimately more useful than the traditional notion of proof.

Why do intelligent people look at the same data and reach completely different conclusions?

We should never forget that some individuals have built their entire worldview on the assumption that we are alone, and that all of this is nothing more than hoaxes, misunderstandings, or misidentifications.

If confronted with something impossible to dismiss, they would not merely lose an opinion. They might lose an entire framework for understanding reality.

One thing I have always found remarkable about the crop circle phenomenon is that it takes place openly, in public view, far from secret laboratories and restricted facilities.

And perhaps that is precisely the point.

Even when patterns emerge, even when certain correspondences become difficult to ignore, there is always room to invoke coincidence, miscalculation, or misinterpretation.

The phenomenon seems to preserve, to the very end, the right not to believe.

The right to reject the possibility that a dialogue may be taking place — and that the source of that dialogue may not be human.

This is why, in the crop circle field, I believe common sense often becomes more valuable than proof itself.

Some of you may be wondering:

“All right, but when do we get to the serious stuff? When do we stop circling around the subject?”

Fair question.

I spend a great deal of time preparing the ground because the material ahead is complex. It requires concentration, patience, and above all, verification.

I am not asking you to believe me.

I am asking you to check the data for yourself.

I will provide dates, numbers, locations, events, and specific formations. Then you can apply the same method to other crop circles.

If the method works everywhere, it is worthless.

If it only works for a very small number of cases, then perhaps we have identified something genuinely unusual.

So far, I have found fewer than ten such cases spread across several decades.

Fewer than ten.

That may seem surprisingly small.

But after studying hundreds of spectacular-looking formations and spending years observing them in the field, my conclusion is straightforward: many were made with boards and ropes.

They need to be removed from the category of genuinely significant crop circles.

Many enthusiasts dislike that possibility.

Nevertheless, fewer than ten formations are enough to capture our attention across several decades.

You will not need to be a mathematician, engineer, physicist, or propulsion specialist.

You will not need advanced knowledge of energy systems or quantum theory.

The information I intend to show you can be checked by anyone.

That point matters.

If a crop circle contains a genuine message, I believe it should be understandable and verifiable by ordinary people.

If only a handful of specialists can recognize it, its value becomes limited because most people will never be able to verify the claim.

Of course, there may be more deeply encoded information intended for individuals with highly specialized knowledge.

If such information exists, it is beyond my reach — and probably beyond yours as well.

As for the visible layer, I am interested in a small number of cosmograms whose contents can be tested and verified by anyone willing to invest a little time.

If you have that time — and that patience — you may enjoy what comes next.

HOW TO ACCESS THE DECLASSIFIED UAP DOCUMENTATION FROM THE US GOVERNMENT / USER GUIDE

For your research or investigations, you can access the first publications from the Department of Defense (AARO) concerning UAP cases (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena), declassified and released to the public starting in 2026.

These documents are organized into several release batches (currently three sets for the year 2026). You can access them freely and, if needed, use the translation tools available in your web browser (such as Firefox).

Extract from the graphical representation, cropped and converted into GIF format
(DOW-UAP-D082 - Mid October 2023)

The automatic translation feature in web browsers is accessible directly from the menu (the button with three horizontal lines in the top-right corner, also called the “hamburger menu”).

The UAP case presented here (DOW-UAP-D082) is visually interesting. The original document does not describe the object as a solar phenomenon. However, the graphical representation suggests an intense luminous source, similar to coronagraph-like scientific imagery used in solar observation.

At that time, in October 2023, the Sun was in a phase of rising activity toward its solar maximum. We are already seeing a significant number of solar flares appearing.

This is purely contextual information, with no direct causal link to be drawn here.

This visual is a reconstruction derived from declassified documentation published by US monitoring services (AARO / Department of Defense).

On my side, I revisited this image to work only on the landscape (road, relief, environment), in order to improve visual readability, without modifying the luminous elements present in the sky.

This version is therefore a second graphical reading of the document, used for archival and analytical purposes, potentially in relation to future crop circle studies.

THE OLD DAYS
This graphic composition shows two crop circles that appeared at the same time, or almost, at the foot of the hills of the Pewsey Valley.

Here, you can admire this aerial view for the very first time. You now know precisely where they were located.

You are in the epicenter of the phenomenon, where visitors, photographers and crop circle hunters still walk today. This is where there is the most activity and the most observation. Yet in June, it is still not very difficult to find a little peace and quiet in which to flatten a few crops.

At the time, I named them "the rebus" and "the solar sigmoid" (a structure observed on the surface of the Sun, identified in 1999 as a possible precursor of major solar eruptions).

For the rebus, the interpretation seems fairly obvious. A succession of symbols that appears to say:

"The guessing game has begun. Will you find the key?"

The serpent, however, remained more enigmatic. Why a reptile in a field? What connection did it have with the other formation?

I found the solar hypothesis interesting. It seemed consistent with several older crop circles depicting eclipses, as well as with the rebus that appeared at the same time. Was there a common thread running through this story, or was each formation entirely independent?

You will also notice that crop circles from this area and from different years appear to converge toward the Galaxy area, which would not appear until two years later. They also seem to point in the general direction of the Stonehenge–Avebury geodesic line, which passes through this area, without actually indicating the exact center of the immense future formation.

My current work consists of repositioning these old crop circles as accurately as possible, even though very few landmarks are visible in the photographs taken by field researchers.

Thanks to the many archives made available online by English researchers — whom I thank in passing — and thanks to the old Web, that true time machine, it is sometimes possible to rediscover a forgotten gem.

All that remains is to feed this material into geolocation tools in order to obtain a new snapshot of the past.

This process remains delicate. The source documents are sometimes nothing more than black-and-white photocopies, old scans or photographs taken from imperfect angles. The positioning often relies on matching these archives with modern satellite imagery used as a landscape reference. For ground-level views, some reconstructions are also assisted by AI.

Another issue must be taken into account: the nadir effect. A photograph taken from a slightly inclined angle can shift the apparent position of a pattern relative to its true position on the ground. The locations presented here should therefore be regarded as the most probable positions based on the available data, but not necessarily as exact locations accurate to the nearest meter.

You may have noticed that the series "Dialogue through Cosmogram" is no longer being published for the moment. Not because I have abandoned the idea — that could still happen for various reasons — but simply because I am taking the time to refine the research files.

Discoveries made here and there must be checked, placed back into context and carefully analyzed.

It often happens this way: you think a file is finished...

...and then a new piece of the puzzle appears.

These two formations nevertheless remain under study. Despite several interesting leads, the relationships they may have with each other, with other crop circles in the region, or with broader research topics have not yet been sufficiently clarified.
At this stage, they do not yet provide sufficiently solid evidence to be incorporated into the "Dialogue through Cosmogram" series.

3 ROOMS, 3 ATMOSPHERES

WHAT'S MAKING ENGLAND'S CROP CIRCLES?
LINK TO YOUTUBE

A recent documentary about the lives of circlemakers in the Wiltshire countryside, many of whom openly claim to have created hundreds and hundreds of crop circles.

These teams do indeed exist and have genuinely produced hundreds of formations. So many, in fact, that if you want to identify the “real” crop circles, you will need some determination.

And yes, a good question: how many formations exist that could not have been made by ordinary people using ordinary planks?

If these crop circles are intended to be understood, or to convey some form of message from an external intelligence seeking to make itself known, then aesthetics are probably not the only criterion worth considering. It is conceivable that certain clues were deliberately left behind so that everyone could conduct their own investigation and form their own opinion. Whether or not you have actually visited the fields matters relatively little today. I would even suggest that the phenomenon has freed itself from that constraint and that it is no longer necessary to be a seasoned field investigator to begin studying it.

At the very least, this is what one might expect from an intelligence capable of acting in such an ostentatious and communicative manner.

This brings us back to the idea of decoding. One can imagine that some formations are encoded while others are not encoded at all. And if they are encoded in the manner of the 2002 Crabwood Disc, with a relatively simple ASCII message requiring only a few hours of work to decode, then we are dealing with a very elementary level of deciphering. I would even call it: level zero.

The true decoding of a crop circle may require more than twenty years. And no matter how intelligent you are, no matter how skilled you may be in mathematics or code-breaking, there is no guarantee that you will be able to shorten that timescale.

Returning to the documentary, it is worth watching, notably because it features Matthew Williams, a well-known circlemaker familiar to long-time crop circle researchers, who discusses his own encounters with the “paranormal” and with the phenomenon itself.

However, the treatment of people who explore alternative hypotheses is more debatable. The documentary tends to focus on colourful personalities and highly folkloric scenes, resulting in a somewhat partial picture of the community. It is a filmmaking choice that clearly does not reflect the full crop circle ecosystem.

After all, that's only fair game, as the saying goes. It is also worth remembering that circlemakers played a very useful and important role in this story. Without them, crop circles would probably never have received such worldwide media attention.

One could even imagine that their actions were part of the scenario from the very beginning, and that the intelligence truly operating behind the scenes incorporated them into the process. The question now is: what is this process for? And perhaps more importantly, who is it for?

From where I stand today, on 12 June 2026, I would say that it serves to reveal that we are not alone, in a non-confrontational yet direct manner, without intermediaries.

For whom?

Without ambiguity, the answer is: for the public and... for scientists.
Yes, those very people whom you assume would dismiss this story as nonsense may, in reality... be the final audience.

CROPPIES — CROP CIRCLE DOCUMENTARY 1998
LINK TO VIMEO

A complete change of atmosphere with Cropies, a documentary directed by Grant Wakefield and originally broadcast in 1998.

Today, the film stands as a genuine historical archive of the crop circle era in Wiltshire, particularly around the famous Barge Inn in Honeystreet, a landmark gathering place for enthusiasts of the phenomenon.

The approach is older, more handcrafted, but also more convivial. The tone is occasionally humorous and slightly offbeat, yet the various participants in the phenomenon appear to be presented with considerably more respect.

Beyond the formations themselves, the documentary preserves the memory of a culture, an atmosphere, and a very particular moment in the history of crop circles.

DISCLOSURE DAY — STEVEN SPIELBERG
LINK TO THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE

Third atmosphere, this time on the fiction side, with a first impression of Disclosure Day, Steven Spielberg's new film, which explores a highly topical subject: the disclosure of the existence of a non-human intelligence.

I will not say more, but it must be acknowledged that the film is of very high quality. It approaches the subject with emotion and a spiritual dimension.

Obviously, not everyone will necessarily agree with the narrative choices proposed, but Spielberg remains faithful to his style and appears to have tried to convey a powerful message. The Galaxy crop circle (or its brother) appears several times throughout the film, notably in a sequence showing its creation. It seems to be the only genuine crop circle faithfully reproduced in the movie. And besides, I have always wondered what one should think if Galaxy were to reappear one day in another field with exactly the same asymmetry, the same irregularities, and the same supposed construction errors.

Would this represent an increase in complexity and an extraordinary challenge? A perfectly symmetrical crop circle would, on the contrary, be much easier to reproduce.

You decide...

DIFFERENT CROP-LAYING PATTERNS
The images below illustrate different crop-laying patterns. These diagrams were created from views available in older archives, often small in size and relatively low in resolution. Yes, at the time, images were much smaller than they are today, and their quality was sometimes limited.

You can also extract sequences from videos available on various platforms in order to observe the arrangement of stems within certain formations in greater detail.

This is where graphic artificial intelligence and image generators come into play. Provided that your instructions are extremely precise and that the model's interpretations are kept to a minimum, it becomes possible to reconstruct quite faithfully the condition of the stems as observed in archival material.

Always compare the final result with the original documents. It is usually quite easy to spot the moments when the AI begins inventing details that are not present in the reference images.

The examples presented below were produced from video extracts and archival documents. Some readers will undoubtedly recognise immediately which crop circles these laying patterns belong to. They are among the most famous.

An important note regarding prompts: it is often preferable to discuss the task with your AI first in order to build the most precise prompt possible. This prompt can then be passed to the image generator, which will produce the requested reconstruction.

The second crop circle in this image (2003) responded to the first one (2002).

Here too, the second one (2001) responded to the first one (2001).

UNKNOWN TERRESTRIAL CIVILIZATION

For decades, the debate surrounding UFOs has been locked into a simple and controlled opposition.
Either these phenomena are said to be of human origin, linked to secret programs or hidden technologies, or they are considered external in origin — interpreted as extraterrestrial, not coming from Earth.
This framework is repeated endlessly, and through repetition, it eventually shapes the way we think about the subject.
The problem is that this opposition is insufficient. Today, the question “do they exist?” is largely outdated, not because it has been definitively answered for everyone, but because the accumulation of testimonies, observations, and traces makes this question secondary.
The real questions lie elsewhere.
Who are they?
And what are they telling us?

THE UNDULATING MOVEMENT IN THE BARLEY CROP

Twenty-three years ago, on 6 July 2003, this crop circle appeared in the Wiltshire landscape at North Down. Culture-Crop had the opportunity to visit it early in the morning of 12 July, when the formation had still received very few visitors. Apart from a few light footprints around the centre, the arrangement of the stems appeared to have been remarkably well preserved.

The photographs taken on site still allow us today to observe precisely how the barley had been laid down inside the formation.

One detail is particularly visible in this series of images: the stems retain a very pronounced horizontal and undulating movement. They are not simply pressed uniformly against the ground, but appear to lie over one another following different directions and curves.

Barley is a particularly interesting crop to observe in crop circles. Its structure makes it relatively easy to distinguish a massive flattening of the stems from a much more gradual arrangement. In some formations, certain stems remain partially or completely upright among others that are gently inclined, creating at ground level a pattern that goes beyond the geometry visible from the air.

The North Down photographic gallery makes it possible to observe this phenomenon particularly clearly: in places, the stems form curves, cross one another, change direction and create a kind of continuous movement within the figure.

This arrangement can be compared with drone footage of the « Target » crop circle at Bishop Cannings, which appeared in 2018 in a barley field.

cropcircleconnector.com

In this type of formation, what is particularly striking is the presence of stems left standing here and there among others that are inclined or laid down, while the whole crop forms a succession of movements at ground level comparable to undulations.

When such currents, changes of direction and different heights can be distinguished within the layer of vegetation, the observation of the crop circle is no longer limited to its aerial design: the behaviour of the stems themselves becomes part of the formation to be studied.

Compare this arrangement with the recent « Land Art » created at Jack's Castle Plantation in 2026: there, the stems appear much more uniformly flattened and pressed against the ground. The result remains spectacular in a magnificent landscape, but the appearance of the crop itself is very different from what can be seen at North Down or Bishop Cannings.

FROM UFOs TO UAPs... THEN FROM SECRECY TO GRADUAL DISCLOSURE

There was a time, not so long ago, when you practically needed to wear armor just to discuss UFOs on the mailing lists of the era. Many still remember it well. And if, on top of that, you had the bad idea of not being some self-proclaimed “authority” on the subject, you had to walk on eggshells.

Fortunately, the gradual liberation of speech and the millions of enthusiasts interested in the topic eventually helped unlock a situation that had become increasingly difficult for censors and their equivalents to contain. After Barack Obama, who already publicly acknowledged that certain phenomena remained unexplained, the current American president is now also calling for the declassification of new documents.

They are currently accessible through official American platforms, including for example a UAP-classified image originating from Apollo 17. So it must surely be Santa Claus… The famous little code name which, according to persistent rumors, was supposedly used to warn command centers that there were “visitors” in the area.

So what happens now? The possibilities are numerous. But since this is probably more of a process than a sudden event, we will likely see things unfold progressively, without immediately descending into a major societal crisis.

Are the silent artists working in the fields connected to this evolution? One thing at a time. The most orthodox guardians of so-called “serious” ufology will probably assure you tomorrow, with the same confidence as yesterday’s anti-UFO debunkers, that all of this is perfectly normal and that there is ultimately nothing extraordinary to see. After all, they already spent years explaining very successfully that UFOs did not exist, or that they were merely the result of collective hallucinations and misinterpretations.

So we probably have some fascinating adventures ahead of us… and no doubt a few surprises still waiting in the shadows.

IS GOOD SCIENCE FICTION MAKING A COMEBACK IN CINEMAS?

Coming soon to a theater near you, not one but two science-fiction films will, by the greatest coincidence of course, accompany this renewed interest in “the visitors”… or “the others.” We still do not really know what will officially be presented — suspense obliges.

There is of course the highly anticipated “Disclosure Day” by Steven Spielberg, with its animals staring at humans through windows and its characters beginning to develop strange behaviors. Older generations naturally retain a special affection for “Close Encounters of the Third Kind,” the cult masterpiece from the nineteen-seventies which remains one of the great cinematic references of contact fiction.

But another film, Signal One (Dennis Quaid, Josh Hutcherson), somewhat less publicized and produced without a colossal budget, may well become the unexpected successor to the first. This time, it seems that artificial intelligences are beginning to involve themselves in our cosmic contact stories as well… and that this may create a small additional problem.

As you have probably noticed, the exotic topic now seems to be riding a gigantic wave. And after all, perhaps it will help change our minds a little.

THE SENTENCE OF THE BEGINNING OF THE MILLENNIUM

What are crop circles for, and who are they meant for? These are fundamental questions that lead to another: if they are meant to communicate with us, what are they saying?

A small update has just been made to the homepage of this site, mainly in terms of layout and structure. But it marks a new step, as the upcoming dossiers will move toward a hypothesis that is gradually taking shape. There is not only the familiar duality between a purely human origin and a purely extraterrestrial one. There is a third possibility. It is sometimes mentioned within the crop circle community, but in different forms and through various scenarios. It remains diffuse and imprecise, like a current of thought that leaves us facing an ocean of possibilities.

This third possibility is not new in my research. I have already explored it through a set of precise clues, particularly around the face that appeared near the Chilbolton radio telescope in 2001.

To share these reflections, I will publish dossiers over time that are not independent from one another. They form a whole—a kind of map. This may give the impression of a slow and sometimes repetitive pace, but this progression is necessary to establish reference points and introduce new concepts.
I also take into account a new generation of curious minds and explorers who were only infants at the height of the phenomenon.
My goal is not to announce a truth, but to explore a possibility. As I move forward, I observe that information seems to contain further layers of information, like nested structures.

An example can be found in what I call the zero cosmogram, the so-called “Galaxy” pattern. Taken as a single form, it presents visual correspondences with several identifiable logos. Three main references can be distinguished: one in the field of art, through an old logo of the Canadian Crafts Council; another, from the late 1970s, in the field of agriculture (Agrisystème); and finally, a reference to a form of non-human cognition through the OpenAI logo from 2017, associated with the emergence of conversational artificial intelligence.

These correspondences can be interpreted in different ways. They may be seen as coincidence, of course, but one can also consider that a single pattern is capable of referring to multiple domains at once.

In any case, in logographic terms, this cosmogram already evokes three distinct domains — art, agriculture, and cognition.

Of course, it also brings to mind a watch dial, suggesting the passage of time; a galaxy, referring to space; and a solar dynamic similar to the Parker spiral. It is remarkable that such a “simple” form can evoke so many different domains. There are, of course, other correspondences, which will be revealed in future entries.

I therefore invite you to be patient and follow the upcoming dossiers. They were initially very long—too long. I chose to break them down into smaller parts to make them more accessible and allow everyone to follow the progression without overload.

If we take a step back and look at the phenomenon itself, it seems that the most significant crop circles may already belong to the past. The phenomenon has already expressed itself and is now more discreet—I even believe it may be completely silent. For those immersed in the crop circle field, accustomed to constant renewal, it may be necessary to understand that the key lies not in accumulation year after year, but in observing and analyzing what has already been laid before us. In a way, the digital world has made them enduring.

Crop circles from the end and the beginning of the millennium can be seen as words within a sentence, and I believe that this sentence is important.

This is the direction in which the next steps will unfold.

The site’s “selection” section has been updated and expanded with several complementary topics.

A first video presents a discussion between astronomy and megalithic sites, focusing on cosmic cycles and their possible interpretation within ancient structures.

A second excerpt returns to current events from April 2026, with the announcement of a possible declassification of documents related to UFO / UAP phenomena by the President of the United States.

Finally, two historical references complete this selection:
– the Phoenix Lights (March 13, 1997), a major event documented by numerous witnesses
– the Bentwaters / Rendlesham Forest incident (December 1980), often considered one of the most significant cases in the United Kingdom

START OF THE SEASON – FORMATION APPEARED ON APRIL 4

The season seems to have begun.

A crop circle appeared on April 4 in an oilseed rape field in England. The first available videos, especially on YouTube, already show the condition of the stems and provide a first level of observation.

More detailed footage should follow, as the people on site seem motivated to document the inside of the formation.
The pattern suggests a kind of Celtic cross.
Let’s look at the difference between these two images to begin with.

There is none.

The condition of the stems, in both cases, clearly shows damage. Yet, this year’s formation appeared in very young oilseed rape, with much more flexible stems.

The conclusion is simple and straightforward: both formations were made using boards and rope.

In fact, CropCircleConnector classified it in the RUMOURS section, meaning… of no real interest.

(Except, of course, for observation… as a training case.)

This circle in oilseed rape was photographed using a pole in a crop circle discovered on May 9, 2010 at Stonehenge, made using boards. View the photo gallery by William Betts

The crop circle of April 4, 2026 in oilseed rape was photographed using a drone by GRAYMAN. Watch the YouTube video

At the same time, an important update has been made to the culture-crop.com website. The presentation system for the series “DIALOGUE THROUGH A COSMOGRAM – SERIES 2026” has been redesigned, with visual sequences behaving… like clues. A picture is worth a thousand words, as the old saying goes.

Thus, the clues linked to the second cosmogram in the series have been published under the title:
“Waiting for the Rest of the Events”. A podcast is available.

Please note that the order of publication — or the order I give to the different cosmograms — has no real importance and is not encrypted.
I simply need to find my way through the labyrinth of my thoughts in order to be as clear and logical as possible.

I am not here to lay everything out all at once, but to take you with me along a path of reflection.
My preference has always remained the scientific approach. A scientist I am not… but this world belongs to everyone.

One more thing: the authors of the most mysterious crop circles seem highly skilled in science… but they also seem to have a taste for art and poetry.
As many of us have already noticed — yes, and it makes sense… and is even reassuring.
Science and art: a beautiful combination, and a fine note of universality.

UPDATED FILE – WRITING SYSTEM

The “Writing System” file has been updated and reorganized, with an introductory video allowing a first visual approach.
And precisely, we are going to follow the example of our mysterious authors by mixing poetry and scientific research.
Well… we are going to try.

ALIENS AND CROP CIRCLES BACK IN CINEMAS

Also, we will be following the 2026 season closely, because it could be surprising and connected to the adventures of ARTEMIS (link to NASA).
A likely source of inspiration for the little pranksters into high-tech and science fiction… obviously.
Another possible surprise? We shall see.

We may also see a disturbing little grey again, since Steven Spielberg is preparing the release of his new alien blockbuster (title still unknown… they are keeping the mystery alive, as usual).

The trailer shows crop circles, and the communication mode of the alien relays is… how shall I put it… slightly anxiety-inducing (cloc cloc cloooc…).
If you hear that kind of sound at night, chances are you will run for your life.
In any case, this summer, it is clearly going to inspire the guys with the boards.

CONFERENCE AND ANNIVERSARY

Another piece of news: the CropCircleAccess website is organizing a conference for the 25^th anniversary of the appearance of Galaxy, the Chilbolton Face, and the Arecibo Reply.
Twenty-five years is a fine age. It is also roughly the amount of time needed to begin understanding what we were dealing with in 2001.

One year off, the Crabwood alien could have taken part in the anniversary… but since it was apparently reserved for the release of the film Signs, it will not be present to confirm that it was right — and that there was a great deal of pain…
(That was also the time of the Iraq War.)

And since we are talking about the film SIGNS, let us recall that Mel Gibson said he had never been so bored on a film set.

Let us hope Spielberg has done a better job than M. Night Shyamalan this time.

EVOLUTION OF RAPESEED STEMS AFTER THE FORMATION – RUTLANDS FARM 2009

Three months after the crop circle appeared, the state of the stems reveals specific behaviors: bending without breaking, continued growth, and orientation of the upper parts toward light.

This field monitoring provides a concrete observation of plant evolution after the formation, with comparable elements for future analysis.

This dossier is a technical update of the archived version of the site.

UNPUBLISHED PHOTOS – STONEHENGE RIBBONS 2002

Series of photographs taken in situ on July 18, 2002 by William Betts, near the famous megalithic site of Stonehenge.
These images document the formation from the ground, with rarely published perspectives.
An initial approach here is based on the superposition of patterns and the comparison of surfaces.

This document is part of the 2026 series: Dialogue through Cosmogram.

CLUE FOR THE FIRST COSMOGRAM OF THE 2026 SERIES

Podcast available

This crop circle is the first cosmogram in the 2026 series — in other words, a structured and coherent cosmological symbol that appears to anticipate future events with a certain degree of precision. Before the full report is published, you may wish to examine it for yourself.

FIRST NEWS OF THE YEAR 2026.

Very soon, you will be able to discover a new series, with a first chapter and the first COSMOGRAM decoded.

This year will also see the opening of more personal files, particularly around synchronicities. As you know, there is chance, coincidence, and something even stranger known as synchronicity. A phenomenon that is difficult to define, yet immediately recognisable.

Regarding site translations, the Portuguese version will not be available for several more months.

The homepage has also been reorganised to make it easier to navigate between the different series.

The season is expected to resume in about three or four months, or it may not resume at all. If the phenomenon becomes rarer and tends to fade away, there are still enough formations awaiting retrospective analysis.

This year, we may see the emergence of precise and reliable reports concerning the condition of the stems. You will also find on the site a page entitled BLOOM TIME, designed to assist field investigations.

If you have archived photographs of crop circles that appeared between 1995 and 2000, not necessarily close-ups of stems, but images of the surrounding environment and overall formation, you are welcome to propose them for publication here under your name. Such material can help to more accurately reposition formations when reference points are missing from aerial imagery.
