July 6, 2000 Wiltshire, England - By the first week of July 2000, with so much of the summer yet to unfold, the crop circle mystery has been more global than 1999. Thirty-six crop formations have been reported in England, eighteen in Germany, three in The Netherlands, two in Spain, two in Italy, two in the U. S., one in Russia, one in Canada and one in the Czech Republic. In the past two weeks in England alone, two of the most extraordinary formations of the past decade appeared. The checkered one featured at the top of this report emerged in a field of very green immature wheat. Researcher Charles Mallett of Horton, Wiltshire discussed the Windmill Hill pattern at the web site where he and his artist wife, Frances, produce C & F Phenomenon Research Field Reports.

July 2, 2000 Stony Brook, New York - Biologists in the Marine Sciences Research Center at State University of New York at Stony Brook are puzzled by the vigorous brown tide algal bloom this spring that has killed off most of the shellfish in Long Island's Great South Bay. Part of the problem, in addition to the more traditional link of algal blooms to pesticide and fertilizer runoffs from land, is global warming. Winter 2000 was warmer than normal and Spring 2000 was the warmest spring on record in the United States. But no one expected brown tide algae to persist through the winter and then flourish and spread as far as it has in the Great South Bay.

"Objects that were flying and recorded on a theodolite camera at White Sands Missile Test Range in New Mexico were flying at 150,000 foot altitude and were about 30 feet in diameter. We had nothing that could approach that altitude then. Even the high altitude balloons only went up to 100,000 feet. And of course, the balloons did not move fast. The unidentified objects moved very fast. Here is a document which I guess you could say proves that UFOs are real."

Currently, Dr. Maccabee is still in high energy laser research and is trying to develop ways to protect sensitive devices such as eyeballs or sensitive viewing instruments from damage by high powered, very brief laser pulses. I asked him what provoked him to write his new book about the FBI's involvement wth UFO investigations.

June 18, 2000 Sabillasville, Maryland - U. S. Navy Research Physicist Bruce Maccabee is the author of a new and important book released May 1, 2000 entitled The UFO/FBI Connection, The Secret History of the Government's Cover-Up. He told me this week, "We're learning more about what happened years ago then they knew years ago. And this book could not have been written twenty years ago or ten years ago because it involves information that has only been recently released."

June 17, 2000 East Field, Alton Barnes, Wiltshire, England - Videographer Peter Sorensen e-mailed me alarming and puzzling photographs he took in the East Field on June 15, 2000, one of the Wiltshire fields famous for spectacular crop formations. There is no fresh crop formation in the East Field, only the remnants of the 5-pointed star referred to as the "Harlequin Pentacle" discovered there on May 20, 2000. Recently, a 'rook circle' was made by birds that Peter was photographing to compare to the truly mysterious crop formations that glisten and flow like water. Often patterns resemble ancient symbols which imply a profile of high intelligence in whomever, or whatever, is responsible for the enigmatic crop glyphs. Is military intelligence monitoring frequencies from satellites and other listening posts to "catch" something associated with crop circle creation? The following is from Peter to the farm's owner, Tim Carson, Alton Barnes:
