I have spent the last couple of months researching - not in depth, but not superficially either - the "mystery" of crop circles, attracted by a possible connection with extended consciousness. I was rather underwhelmed. Compared with the standards of psychical research I am used to, and contrary to what I instinctively felt when I first approached the subject, the evidence for anomalous phenomena seems to me extremely thin.
I have wrtitten a short series of articles on this, that you may be interested in reading. I conclude the last one, published today, by saying "I do not maintain that all aspects of crop circles are explained. I do not maintain that all anecdotal evidence is false – the product of misperception and delusion. I do not even maintain that the BLT Research investigations about plant anomalies are necessarily solely the result of sloppy research. I maintain that, below a shimmering, mesmerizing surface, I could not find a fraction of what I need to really engage with the issue."
But I also appeal: "If anybody is aware of reports of serious investigations or scientific papers I have missed in my relatively superficial research, please point them out to me – I will be very happy to look at them."
I would be most grateful for any meaningful reference.
Thanks for reading.
