Krsanna Duran publishes an email newsletter on crop circles. It turns out that “crop art,” bogus crop circles, and opportunistic interpretations are more common than I certainly would have thought.
Here is a biographical note on Krsanna:
Krsanna Duran developed the TimeStar grid with a geometric model that embodies and unifies all prime geometries. She is the author of The Once & Future Earth, that deciphers the ancient pyramid center at Teotihuacan with the TimeStar geometry. Residing in Montana, Krsanna moderates the TimeStar egroup and hosts the “Millennium Weather Report” featuring TimeStar predictions on local cable television. Krsanna is a life-long UFO experiencer.
And here is Krsanna’s discussion of this season’s crop circles – the hoaxes and the authentic.

Subject: [TimeStar] 2010 crop circles with confirmed anomalous physics
The news about crop circles in England with confirmed anomalous physics in 2010 is not optimistic. There’s no “nice” way to say this, but it’s better to get the situation stated clearly [and] to put the cards on the table.
We can only make guesses about reasons the UFolks are not making many crop circles this year. My best guess is that the field of crop circle studies has gotten so muddied and confused that there’s no benefit in adding to the confusion.
Crop circle studies now suffer the same fate as UFOs: A lack of verified information combined with disinformation has left the field wide open for manipulation for personal purposes by one and all. Some confusion results from an honest learning curve. Some results from opportunism for profit. Some results from wishful thinking. Nothing has changed between July 26 when the list was compiled and August 5. I’ll keep you informed if more news is available.
Best regards, Krsanna
Crop circles with confirmed anomalous physics in 2010 have been examined by Andrew Pyrka https://www.cropcirclewisdom.com or an associate are listed below. All of them are in the UK. Others have been examined and found to not contain anomalous physics, indicating they are nothing more than crop art made as hoaxes and/or for profit. All confirmed crop circles are in the United Kingdom.
One in Poirino, Italy was examined by an associate who reported on it. Crop circles not listed have not been examined and cannot be confirmed as authentic crop circles or crop art.
CROP CIRCLES CONFIRMED AUTHENTIC WITH ANOMALOUS PHYSICS:
May: Old Sarum (May 3) – Stonehenge (May 9)
June: Liddington Castle (June 2) – Oare (June 21) – Savernake* (June 23) – Ufton (June 25)
July: Guys Cliffe (July 10)
*The crop at Savernake was not flattened nor kinked, which is always the case with crop art hoaxes. At Savernake the crop was gently bent but did not show explusion cavities.
CROP ART WITH NO ANOMALOUS PHYSICS AND FLATTENED CROP:
Yarnsbury Castle (May 16) – Winton Windmill (May 22) – Silbury Hill (May 31)
Poirino, Italy* (June 13) – Chirton Bottom (June 16) – White Sheet Hill (June 25)
Chisbury Hill (July 3) – Danbury Hill (July 6) – Cley Hill (Julyl 9) – Fosbury (July 17) – Woolaston Grange (July 18)
*The Poirino crop art was examined by one of Andrew Pyrka’s associates. The crop was flattened and broken with no anomalous physics, and the farmer refused to talk about the crop circle. The associate reported the Poirino cc was commissioned by an advertising company, but this has not been independently confirmed. The butterfly crop circle made in Holland in September 2009 was made by 52 people from a preplanned design. An advertising company was reportedly involved with the butterfly formation as well, but the advertising company could not be located.
PHYSICS OF AUTHENTIC CROP CIRCLES
The physics displayed in crop circles are the main criteria for verifying authenticity. Most criteria I have used for 20 years were compiled from BLT research. William Levengood did the biophysical research to establish a baseline for genuine crop circles at his own expense, but he is now quite elderly and does little testing in the present. Identifying the physics associated with genuine crop circles is his enduring legacy. Most characteristics William Levengood did can be identified with careful examination, in the absence of full testing. I have asked Andrew to review these criteria for his comments. Andrew is on the ground in the field where many crop circles are made and has much experience.
William Levengood contacted one of the very early British crop circle investigators, Pat Delgado, expressing interest in examining plants taken from crop circles (samples) and comparing them with plants taken elsewhere in the same fields (controls). Mr. Delgado began shipping crop circle plant samples and controls from various British crop formations to Levengood’s Michigan laboratory in 1990 and, almost immediately, began observing anomalies in the circle plants.
Levengood pursued various experimental evaluations which began to form the basis of a consistent description of characteristic changes in crop circle plants. Musical producer Nancy Talbott and businessman John Burke later joined the biophysicist to form BLT Research Team, Inc. A summary of findings published by BLT Research overviews key elements identified in crop circle formations.
William Levengood postulates that the plant anomalies in crop circles are the result of exposure to a complex atmospheric plasma energy system that emits heat – most likely microwave – in association with unusual electrical pulses and strong magnetic fields.
Control of electrical pulses and strong magnetic fields that Levengood postulates are commonly reported in UFO displays of technologies that harness natural forces. Below, plasma eruption is seen in Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) from the sun.
CHARACTERISTICS OF VEGETATION EXPOSED TO
EXTRAORDINARY FORMATIVE FORCES OF CROP CIRCLES
1. Enlarged (both laterally and longitudinally) plant stem nodes — Node elongation (stretching) was a permanent effect related to the formation energies, and this is the parameter now used.
2. Marked bending of the plant stem nodes which occurs at the 1st node and 2nd nodes beneath the seed-head, or even the 3rd and/or 4th nodes down the plant stem.
3. Expulsion cavities — holes blown out at the plant stem nodes — usually found in the 2nd node beneath the seed-head.
4. Stunted, malformed seeds and germination effects. There are four basic changes to the seeds and germination capability in crop circle plants documented so far. These radically different reproductive effects depend upon the species of crop involved, the growth phase of the plants at the time the crop circle occurs, and the composition and intensity level of the energy system involved (which appears to differ from event to event):
a. Plant will continue to develop normally but seed development ceases when the circle is formed prior to development of the seed in the plant.
b. Seeds will be visually smaller, will weigh less and will exhibit repressed germination when the crop circles occur at a slightly later growth stage
c. Seeds will be visually stunted and will weigh less than normal when crop circles occur in more mature plants, where the embryo is fully formed or nearly so.
d. Seeds exhibit a massive increase in growth rate when crop circles occur in mature plants with fully formed seeds. These seedlings can tolerate extreme stress (lack of water and/or light) for considerable periods of time without apparent harm.
5. Tiny spheres of unusually pure iron are regularly found in soils from crop circle sites. These may be clusters of very small, perfectly spherical, magnetic particles.
OTHER OBSERVATIONS
A wide variety of crops, vegetation, soil, and snow are mediums where formations appear.
A coating of black sooty-like dust is found on some stems and leaves in formations.
Light Phenomena are commonly observed, photographed or videotaped in and around fields where crop circles historically appear. These range generally from golf ball to soccer ball in size.
Equipment Failure of cameras, recording devices, cell phones and even tractors regularly fail to operate in or near some crop circles, particularly when they are new. In some cases compasses will spin wildly or be seen to deviate 10-20? from North. And every year photographers flying over formations experience unexplained malfunctions of their cameras, in some cases finding them to be damaged beyond repair. Also, witnesses in homes near crop circles often report TV, cell phone, smoke alarm and security device interference or malfunction during the nights when a nearby crop was formed.
Animal & Human Reactions — in proximity to some crop circles are common. Flights of geese have been observed to break formation directly over crop circles, reforming their “V” pattern once past the formation, and deer have been watched circumventing crop circles which were placed so as to cross habitual game trails across fields.
(greater ordering of the crystal structure) in clay minerals is found at some crop circle sites that is normally found only in sedimentary rock which has been exposed — for hundreds, if not thousands, of years — to both heat from the earth’s core and the massive pressure of tons of overlying rock.
CAUSES
“The microwave component heats up the internal moisture in the plant stems (even mature crop nearing harvest contains some moisture), turning it to steam. In younger crop, where the external fibers are more elastic, the steam seeps out at the nodes by stretching these fibers; in older crop, where the external fibers are tougher and less elastic, the build-up of steam explodes out from the nodes, creating the holes subsequently found. The final effects on the individual plants depend upon a number factors, including the complexity and intensity level of the microwave component (which varies in each event and from location to location within any given crop circle), the modifying influence of the electrical pulses also involved, as well as the species, variety and age of the plants involved.
“A clear indicator of the electromagnetic nature of the energies which cause node-length change in crop circles is the discovery that, in some formations, node-length change decreases from the center of the circle out to its edges in a very precise manner. In fact, these node-length changes were found to agree with a well-known law in physics — the Beer-Lambert Principle — which describes the absorption of EM energy by matter. In these cases the node-length increase was greatest at the center of the circle, decreasing as a function of sampling distance away from the center and toward the perimeter? “The more positive effects on the plants — the enhanced growth and yield observed in seedlings germinated from crop circles which occur later in the growing season — are now known to be related primarily to the exposure of the seeds to specific electrical pulses. In 1998 Levengood and Burke obtained a U.S. Patent (#5740627) for equipment which creates organized electron-ion ava
lanches which then form organized plasmas; normal seed exposed to these energies will subsequently exhibit enhanced growth characteristics, accelerated maturity and increased yield. Numerous field-trials with a wide variety of seed have substantiated this result and a commercial application is being sought.
Plasma, an ionized gas produced at very high temperatures (e.g., in the stars), is the fourth state of matter. The other three states are solid, liquid and gas. Plasma contains about equal numbers of positive and negative charges, making it a good conductor of electricity, and is affected by a magnetic field. The earth’s surface has very little plasma but the ionosphere is a rich source of plasma, suggesting an association between the ionosphere and crop circles. Leading edge technologies employing plasma include thin-screen televisions and computer monitors and high quality coatings. Plasma technology has also been suggested for disposing of toxic wastes, because plasma breaks down into harmless hydrogen.

ADDENDUM –
Mark Haywood: It is well known that crop circle hoaxers sometimes visit what we class as genuine formations and add extra bits on to them or trash crop lays. They have even been known to make holes in centres to imply that have walked round using a pole with a rope attached. Also the rumour mill is rife within the crop circle community. At a crop circle in … See Morethe midlands once it was believed it was fake as a car was seen near the field when the circle was reported. Unfortunately for this well known researcher it was my car and I certainly have not hoaxed as I believe we have a genuine intelligence at work which is trying to communicate with us. (July 17, 2010, Report A Crop Circle Formation)
Krsanna Duran: Hi, Mark. I copied your comments on crop circle hoaxers messing with authentic formations. It is a great statement and I would like to add a section to the characteristics and quote you. Is that okay? Krsanna
Mark Haywood: July 17 at 3:15am Report Thats fine. Other evidence I have found in crop circle I have visited is around the edges of formations the heads of wheat may sometimes be severed. The cut mark is at an angle of 45 degrees. I been away from circles research for a number of years but I worked with BLT some years ago and still even have my BLT badge as a souvenir of my time working with them in the fields of the UK. I~ always remember one formation which was called the Hamlet. It was a flower design but then had a cigar sticking out from the mouth. I still believe that the flower design could have been genuine and the hoaxers added the cigar and mouth to discredit the whole thing. It’s easy for them to do it, much harder for us as researchers.
HOAXER’S ARGUMENT: Crop circle makers are not hoaxers by definition. They are very good at what they do…
DEFINITION: With genuinely mysterious crop circle formations identified by verified physics, those who attempt to imitate them but fail to replicate the physics are hoaxers, by definition. Hoaxers make claims they refuse to prove for fear of paying for their crimes: Hoax: A deception for mockery or mischief; a deceptive trick or story; a practical joke. –Macaulay. [1913 Webster] Krsanna
