You’d have to have been asleep for much longer than Rip Van Winkle’s 20 year nap not to have heard of them.
     The crop circle phenomenon has been seen widely since the late 20th century yet this is hardly the earliest history of them. There are records of them for hundreds of years all over the world.
     The most recent blooming of crop circles numbers over 10,000 until the time of production of this DVD. There are not only crop circles, but ice and sand circles, fields of flowers that have been seen as far afield as the UK, Europe, Canada, Australia and South East Asia. They appear to be growing in complexity and meaning.
     Is someone trying to send us a message? Are the messages developing into real communications? Who makes the crop circles? How are they made? Are all the crop circles a hoax?
     This documentary goes far towards answering many of the most common questions while treating the viewer to a breathtaking visual feast of what can only be described as sacred geometry in its most mysterious form.
     Sacred Mysteries have once again come up with a thrilling and inspiring production. The visuals are stunning. The crop circles are seen both from the air and from the human level on the ground.
     The makers state at the end of the film that they have tried to show only genuine crop circles. Yes, there are hoaxes about, but having seen pictures of both, I can state with certainty that it is easy for this reviewer to tell the difference.
     The material is spiced with eyewitness accounts of the phenomenon. Most come from very ordinary people who have been witness to an extraordinary happening. Admittedly, some accounts seem a bit weird. Sceptics and believers are both heard, but the latter are in the majority.
     Toward the end of the film, even my ordinarily open mind was a bit stretched by the concepts of and references to ‘lightships’ and ‘Galactic Federation.’ Ok, aliens I can accept; at least I desperately want them to exist. Earth energies in the form of Devas, angels, fairies and other spirit beings, I accept.
     I am not yet ready for intergalactic crop circle template designers and makers, despite some energetic arguments put forward by the interviewees. As ever, I may be proven wrong.
     This film is a stunner whether you believe in the non-local nature of the phenomenon or not. The images are fractals formed from natural, organic materials and often have an eerie familiarity. When seen from the air some have depth and texture that simply do not appear possible to have been created by humans (read that to be hoaxers) on the ground. Some are over an acre in area.
     My own question is this: How many people would be needed in a team to create in a single, overnight session a crop circle with over 1,000 elements? What about the noise and the evidence of a large number of humans tramping through crops without leaving a trace and bending – but not breaking – the stalks of the crop? What kind of intricate choreography and practice is required to get it so flawlessly perfect on the first effort? Large questions indeed.
     There is also the manifest evidence of energy differences inside and outside the crop circles, which has been measured. Fascinating stuff. Other manifestations include balls of light and orbs of light, which are captured on film. The clear suggestion is that these occurred during the actual creation of the phenomenon.
     The real stars of this documentary are the incredibly delicate and absorbingly beautiful crop circles themselves. Some are breathtaking in their complex beauty. Others are stunning in their precise geometric simplicity. All are worth looking at again and again.
     Watch this once to learn. Watch it again to take in what you need from this reporting.
     This is a recommended film.
