October 20, 2001 Ocean Beach, California - Since September at least a dozen domestic and wild cats around the Naval Air Station in Point Loma or a neighborhood in Ocean Beach have been found cut in half, similar to the Austin, Texas cases, or completely eviscerated by a clean, bloodless excision in the belly from which all internal organs were removed.
October 13, 2001 Mantario, Saskatchewan, Canada - This weekend I talked with 49-year-old rancher, Bill Francis, in Mantario, Saskatchewan, Canada near the Alberta border and north of Medicine Hat. He has ranched there his whole life and added cattle to his business fifteen years ago. He had heard about animal mutilations where ears, eyes, tongues, jaw flesh, genitals and rectal tissue have been excised from thousands of animals worldwide since the mid-1950s. But until August 16th, he had never seen one on his own property.
October 10, 2001 Wakerley, Leicestershire, England - Nick Nicholson, Editor of The Circular Review in Calverton, Nottinghamshire, discovered an unusual crop formation in barley on Sunday, June 3, at Wakerley village near Barrowden, England. Nick's first e-mail to me with a ground photograph said: "I found a major formation near our last year's hunting ground between Morcott and Seaton in Leicestershire County."
September 22, 2001 Red Deer, Alberta, Canada - Last Sunday, September 16, 2001, the largest crop formation in Canadian history was discovered in a wheat field about six kilometers east of Red Deer, Alberta. Red Deer is south of Edmonton. The farmer, 73-year-old Ken Bickford, became aware of the pattern as his combine moved next to a large central circle. Later Mr. Bickford told a newspaper reporter that in 60 years of farming he has “never seen anything remotely like it.” The ripe spring wheat had been flattened in a hexagram pattern of two overlapping triangles. Each triangle point had a circle at the tip and a large, seventh circle at the center of the hexagram measured 100 feet in diameter. The whole hexagram at its longest measured 422 feet in diameter. Ken Bickford looked for evidence of shoe tracks or other evidence, but could not find any.
September 7, 2001 St. Paul, Alberta, Canada - Rancher Fern Belzil of St. Paul has been investigating unusual cattle mutilations in Alberta for the past several years. On October 16, 2000, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police called him about the eerie death of a 2200-pound bull found at the Saddle Lake Indian Reserve on October 12 about fifteen miles southwest of St. Paul in a rural area called St. Brides. The bull was a seven year old Semmental, a robust blood line from Europe, owned by rancher Marshall Kiziak.
August 30, 2001 Chilbolton, Hampshire, England - Field researcher, Charles Mallett, from Devizes, Wiltshire, England traveled to Chilbolton, Hampshire with his wife, artist and fellow field researcher Frances, soon after the "code" formation was reported to have appeared near the "face" in the wheat field next to Chilbolton Observatory on August 20. The following is a photo essay by Charles of the plant lay that created the "binary code."
August 29, 2001 Wherwell, Hampshire, England - Field researcher, Charles Mallett, from Devizes, Wiltshire, England traveled to Wherwell Hampshire with his wife, artist and fellow field researcher Frances soon after the "code" formation was reported to have appeared near the "face" in the wheat field next to Chilbolton Observatory on August 20. The following is a photo essay by Charles of the unique "pixel" lay of the plants inside the "face."
August 25, 2001 Chilbolton, Hampshire, England - For the past few years, crop formations have appeared in the wheat field near the Chilbolton Observatory in Chilbolton village, south of Andover, Hampshire. The one from August 2000 now seems linked to the August 2001 formations. Last year's was one of England's largest 2000 formations in terms of square footage and appeared next to the Chilbolton government-owned land upon which the radio telescope complex was built in 1965. The facility is sectioned off from the public and is surrounded by a high barbed wire fence. The estimated measurements of the code formation is 200 feet long and 85 feet wide; the estimated face measurements are approximately 160 feet wide and 180 feet long. Both are framed by wheat laid down in almost identical fashion, according to field researcher, Charles Mallett, from Roundway, Wiltshire.
August 24, 2001 Depuyer, Montana - The first mutilated cow in Montana officially reported to law enforcement this summer was discovered on June 12 on the Don Reishus ranch in Depuyer between Conrad and Great Falls. Don Reishus, Sr., is in his seventies now and could not believe he was seeing another jaw stripped to the bone, eye removed, teat removed and rectum cored out - all without blood like others he had seen in the 1970s on his same Montana ranch.
August 22, 2001 Alton Barnes, England - Author and researcher, Lucy Pringle, has been flying over crop formations to take aerial photographs and to investigate the plants and soils of English crop formations since the mysterious patterns began evolving from simple circles and rings in 1989. She has been in hundreds. But this formation that was discovered in Ron Read's wheat field on a high plateau of Milk Hill, Wiltshire on Sunday, August 12, overwhelmed her. After measurements were made, there were 409 circles of varying sizes divided into six curved arms stretching 240 meters (787 feet) from one side to the other. The largest central circle was 72 feet in diameter and the smallest little circles that dotted along the large arms were no more than 40 inches in diameter.
