I suppose most of you well-informed subgenii have heard about this on
NPR by now. Some of the crop circle researchers are claiming that the
confession itself is a hoax. I bet the aliens are laughing their
exoskeletons off right now.
Newspaper Says 2 Men Claim They Did Wheatfield Circle Hoax
LONDON (AP) - A newspaper said today the mysterious wheatfield
circles in southern England that have baffled scientists for years
were a hoax created by two men who have come forward to claim
responsibility.
The tabloid Today said Douglas Bower and David Chorley of
Southampton contacted the newspaper and gave detailed information
about how they planned and executed each design since the late
1970s. The newspaper said it paid no money in connection with the
story.
Some people were convinced the circles were created by
extra-terrestrials. Patrick Delgado, author of two books on that
theme, said it looked as if he and many others had been duped.
Bower said he had lived in Australia during a period when
similar circles were put in crops in Queensland ``as a joke,''
Today said.
The two men hit on the idea of doing it in England while sitting
in a pub ``wondering what we could do for a bit of a laugh,'' Bower
was quoted as saying.
Today said it had checked the men's circle-making skills in a
field and then invited Delgado to see the result. His response, the
story said: ``No human could have done this.''
The men used four-foot planks with rope reins to flatten the
wheat and produce circles, the story said. Straight lines were made
using a simple wire ``gunsight'' on a baseball cap that allowed the
men to walk while aiming at a distant object, it said.
The wheat was bent down rather than broken so farmers could
still harvest the crop, Today said.
The vast circles and geometric patterns were ``a great con and a
great dirty trick,'' Delgado told Press Association, the British
domestic news agency.
``I was taken for a ride like many other people. But if it
wasn't me who was duped, it would have been someone else later on.
This was obviously a great joke lasting years, but somewhere or
another it would have been exposed,'' Delgado was quoted as saying.
Today said the two men, both in their 60s, were tired of people
making money from the circles - an apparent reference to books that
have been sold on the subject.
[NOTE: On CNN today, reporting on this story, the British head of the
"Crop Circles Research Institute" (really!) who seems unwilling to
accept that the circles are a hoax, started questioning one of the
tricksters about Mandelbrot patterns as an alternative "natural"
explanation!]

corn circles supposedly have been exposed as a hoax.
DON'T BELIEVE IT.
DON'T GIVE IN TO THE CONSPIRACY.
It's just another cover-up. More disinformation.
Another way to discredit any who might see through the propaganda.

Mr. Reed is pretty impressive.
Inventor Troy Reed claims his Magnetic Motor to be a free energy source!
The Troy REED Magnetic Motor Battery Company from Tulsa Oklahoma showed
a demonstration of their Magnetic Motor Output Generator.
There is the Motor, a four cylinder crunkshaft supported by a 110 Volts
AC generator(mechanicly via a starter power belt) that converts 110
Volts AC to the car-battery. With his magnetic design, some appliances
like a drill machine or some bulbs supported 12 Volts DC output-power.
Also a converter hooked onto the 110 Volts output generator is powering
his starter motor. He also feeds 110 Volts of his Magnetic Motor into a
12 Volts demonstration tape from Tulsa or somewhere else from the US.
The Reed Magnetic Motor was claimed to be feeding the output back to a
converter generator that the car battery dependends on.
With this "Battery charger" he and the car battery crankshaft unit is
running at about 300 to 500 rpm, so that the car battery is recharged to
110 Volts output. At this rpm the motor works as a free energy
generator and also delivers a longer operation device.
Has anybody had a better chance to see a demonstration of the operation
of this motor ?

Our way of doing a documentary-film research was making this a videofilm
on the
teachers concerning the basic class research. We choosed how to film the
class, the class choosed us for ways we prepared of doing the research
they required, etc.
The general topic is the Natural Engineering and Computer Sciences in
Women Science, Based on experience and knowledge, like a good
electromagnetic theory, the history of the development of a
documentary-film and/or its modern applications (radar etc...), will
examine the role of computers and privacy. This survey will include the
use and impact of class research computers on warfare, warfare
education, medical warfare care, and computer warfare technology. We
will intelligently deal with the possible consequences of the impact of
warfare benefits of the computer age concerning the perceived affect
(control?) of our everyday life.
We did research in how the pupils delt with their learning. We, interested in
how the freedom to integrate, with responsibility of learning how to
learn themselves, explore questions and make work in order to do the
research they required.
I would reference about what trade-offs we as a society are prepared to
discuss
about how this technology benefits from experience and knowledge of
contemporary society.
