                               ROUND AND ROUND THEY GO   
                 NEW CROP OF ODDITIES HAS BRITISH GOING IN CIRCLES.   
      
             A rare set of concentric rings lies quietly awaiting the answer   
        of why -  and  how  - English crops are being sculpted.  Some of the   
        circular depressions measure up to  100  feet  in diameter, and they   
        have been cropping up in southern England since 1976.   
      
             LONDON - Behind the hedgerows and stone fences of rural Britain   
        lurks the Mystery of the Field Circles.   
      
             The puzzle over the circles - large round areas  where maturing   
        crops have been  partly  flattened and entangled - is something of a   
        modern-day Stonehenge riddle for  the  millions  of Britons who have   
        been reading about them all summer.   
      
             Amid local  media  reports  of  newly  appeared  circles,  many   
        Britons have taken to making Sunday drives in the country to see the   
        mystery for themselves.  Even  the  international  press  has become   
        interested.   
      
             Pat Delgado,  a retired British  electrical  engineer  who  has   
        written a book about the circles, said they can be up to 100 feet in   
        diameter.  He has reports of circles being noted  as  early  as  the   
        early 1950s, but  said  the  number  has increased dramatically this   
        decade.   
      
             "Last year there were 98 altogether," he said. "This year there   
        have been 240."   
      
             The circles,  which  appear  overnight  and  are  sometimes  in   
        clusters, have been  found in fields of oats, barley,  corn,  wheat,   
        rye, beans, spinach  and  other crops. Typically, the plants are all   
        bent in the same direction, sometimes with their stems, branches and   
        leaves interwoven in intricate symmetry.   
      
             "These crops are not damaged in any way," Delgado said.   
        "They are laid down and continue to  grow  and ripen in a horizontal   
        field."   
      
             Delgado said that for years the circles seemed  to  be confined   
        largely to fields  on  three counties in southern England, including   
        Wiltshire, the home  of  the Stonehenge  standing  rocks  that  some   
        theories connect with ancient visitors form outer space.   
      
             This summer, however, the circles have appeared  in  many  more   
        counties throughout England.   
      
             Delgado said  he  doesn't  subscribe  to any "little green men"   
        theories, but he doesn't have any better ideas, either.   
      
             "I'm as mystified as when I  started  investigating  nine years   
        ago," he said. "The only progress we've made is by  elimination.  We   
        have eliminated whirlwinds and hoaxes. We have eliminated crop over-   
        fertilization and the wind vortices theory and animal intervention."   
      
             One farmer, Geoff Cooper, called a nearby British military base   
        to complain after finding circles in his fields this summer.   
      
             "We thought  their  helicopters were doing it on exercises," he   
        said.  "But they sent an expert round and he said a helicopter could   
        only make that shape if it was flying upside down and stationary."   
      
             Cooper said one neighbor believes  the  circles  are  caused by   
        hedgehogs rolling over  and  over in the fields, but  he  calculated   
        that it would  take  40,000 of them to make the circles in his field   
        in one night.   
      
             Some newspapers during the summer  reported  that  the  British   
        Ministry of Defense was investigation the circles,  but the ministry   
        denies it.   
      
             Delgado, who   worked   for   the   British   Weapons  Research   
        Establishment and NASA on missile-tracking  systems before retiring,   
        wrote his book,  `Circular  Evidence',  with Colin Andrews,  another   
        electrical engineer.   
      
             They got  involved when a fellow engineer asked them to look at   
        some circles found in a field near  his home. Delgado bristle at the   
        suggestion that he might be regarded as a crackpot for spending time   
        investigating the circles.  The  fact  remains, he  says,  that  the   
        circles exist, and no one has explained them.   
      
        --------------------------------------------------------------------   
      
                        Additional information obtained from   
                 the January 31st, 1990 airing of Unsolved Mysteries   
      
             Of particular interest are two points, the first involves the   
        focus of the circles in a general triangle around  Stonehenge with   
        a majority  of  the  others  being  proximal  to  other menhirs or   
        megalithic structures.   
      
             The  second is  by far  the  most interesting especially when   
        considered in conjunction with our DNAMAST file.  It showed a view   
        of the base a wheat stalk which was bent as if the stalk had been   
        melted in one area, folded over and allowed to cool.  DNA, a complex   
        molecular structure present in all tissues, can be "melted" in a   
        process known as "denaturation".  This causes the hydrogen bonds   
        which hold the "stair steps" to the "rails" of a double helix.   
      
             When the bonds are disturbed, usually by heating at temperatures   
        beginning at about 70 degrees Centigrade, the rails break up.  If   
        the structure is allowed to cool before complete separation of the   
        rails is achieved, in many instances the stair steps will re-form   
        in the identical pattern as before.   
      
             Bearing this is mind, we can see that some form of energy was   
        produced in the immediate vicinity of the wheat stalks which would   
        bring about an energetic state similar to that produced by heating.   
      
             This could possible have been an anti-gravity force which we   
        of Vangard believe can be beneficially used on living organisms as   
        witnessed by the many UFO contact reports where the craft occupants   
        indicate they are of extreme age (1000 + years) yet look in the   
        early 20's or 30's.  When asked how this is achieved, the reply   
        indicates that the aging process is suspended or greatly retarded   
        when the under the impress of the ship's anti-gravity field.   
      
             However, should the occupant of the craft remain away from the   
        ship field too long, the aging process would resume, yet could be   
        again halted if once again brought within the field of the ship.   
      
             See the Plenum newsletter for articles on the rejuvenation   
        process from a Vangard Sciences point of view.  There appears to be   
        a relationship between counter-clockwise spin, cold, north pole   
        energy and specific wave patterns.  More on this later.
