The first crop circles made in Canada this year look like alignments for the
July 28, 1999 lunar eclipse. The TimeStar
predicted this eclipse would impact Canada and the Atlantic coast with aircraft, navigation,
computer and power failures over the course of a 260-day cycle. Two formations,
reported on July 22, were made in adjacent fields of wheat. From right to
left, the above formation shows the symbol for an eclipsed full moon
(darkened circle with an arc above it). The crux ansata,
which globally represented
life, fertility and abundance, surmounts the eclipsed moon. In Egypt
the crux ansata was known as
the Ankh. The sun is represented by
a circle inscribed with a cross, or solar cross. Within the solar
cross two additional lines
extended from the equator into the northern hemisphere suggest internal
eruption. A
vertical line intersects the space between moon and sun in the Earth's position
relative to the moon (darkened circle) on its left
and another vertical line on the moon's right in Mars' position terminates the formation.
A horizontal line between
sun and moon shows that they are aligned with the Earth between them so that the Earth
casts a shadow on the moon in a lunar eclipse. On the other side of the sun, small objects could represent several things.
Comet Lee is present on the other side of the sun
and not visible from Earth. Conceivably the small objects could represent
ejecta from
coronal mass ejections (CME) but seem large for that unless there are several
ejections.
1) One is that the vertical line left of the moon corresponds with the Earth and the longer line
closest to the sun represents Venus' orbit with no marker for Mercury. In earlier seasons the circle makers
have depicted groupings with key elements conspicously missing, such as the solar system with all the planets
depicted except that Earth's orbit was empty. On the July 28 lunar eclipse Mercury was in its proper orbit but
was retrograde on astrological charts. Astrological symbols have played a central role in numerous crop circles
and constitute a language of the stars. During the Age of Reason,
modern astronomy was birthed from knowledge of the stars carried through the ages with
astrology. The astrological zodiac first appeared in ancient Sumer where star charts
depicted the routes ancient astronauts traveled into this solar system. After making its debut in Sumer, astrology
was introduced in Egypt and Greece where it represented all that was known about the stars. At the time of the lunar
eclipse Venus was 30 degrees distant from the sun in the astrological zodiac. In contrast to modern horoscopes, ancient
astrology was used to forecast geophysical and social events and was not used for personal horoscopes until around 1000BCE.

Diagram showing orientation of formation to the rising moon and
lunar eclipse on the evening of July 28, based on fax diagram by Lynda
Powless. The one "arm" of the formation points to where the moon
was in the sky, with Lynda's position indicated where she was
standing at the end of the arm at the time.
The second formation suggests motion with an arrow pointing from right to left then extending into a straight line that loops back in a "U". Although planets do not literally move backwards, they appear to do so when retrograde. The changing direction depicted in this formation may represent Mercury, which was conjunct the sun and retrograde at the time of the eclipse. Mercury rules communications as well as computers, which function poorly when Mercury is retrograde. The lines of the looping trajectory end in a cross suggesting a solar cross seen in the larger crop circle, and properly portrayed Mercury's conjunction with the sun and the sun's alignment with the moon during the 7/28/99 eclipse.

Update - July 30
The investigation and circumstances surrounding the appearance of the two new crop formations in Ontario continues to become more interesting.
I spoke at length this afternoon with Lynda Powless, a Native Indian resident of the Six Nations / New Credit reservation where the formations were found. She is the editor of Turtle Island News, a local newspaper for residents of the community (see link below).
She described the same elaborate lay patterns in both formations. In virtually all the pathways joining the circles, the crop is "braided"; in the smaller formation, the wheat is flattened in one direction, then a second layer of wheat is flattened over top of this, at a diagonal flow to the pathways themselves. In others, one section of crop flows in one direction along the pathways, then the crop adjacent to this goes in the opposite direction. Very similar to the infamous "4:20" formation at Cando, Saskatchewan in 1998. In one of the circles in the longer formation (the one at the end of the pattern extending at a right angle out from the main part of the formation), the wheat is laid in a "five-pointed star" pattern, where the points of the star are made by "squares of flattened crop laid over top of each other, each angled a bit from the ones next to it to create a star-like outline". Some Hopi Indian elders have also expressed interest in these formations, she said, the "star" lay pattern in particular. At one point along one of the pathways in the smaller formation, the tops of the stalks were "singed or burned". Unfortunately, these have all been picked off by visitors (150 - 200 per day now). She was able, however to get photos of this as well the intricate lay patterns, before all the vistors started
arriving (!). Copies are being forwarded and will be posted as soon as possible.
Then there are the lights...
About two weeks ago, she said, some of the residents of the reservation reported seeing two bright lights hovering just above these two (adjacent) fields. Then, on Saturday the 24th, another resident saw, and *photographed*, *three large beams of light like large spotlights*, extending up into the air from the same or nearby field. Does this sound familiar??? (very similar sighting reported in England this summer). The three beams of light then converged into one large beam. Photos were printed I am told in a recent issue of the newspaper, and copies of these as well are being forwarded. Ken King, who I also spoke to this evening, and who owns the field with the larger formation, said that people in the area have reported seeing similar beams and lights over the past two or three weeks. He also mentioned that a number of people have had their digital cameras fail inside or near the formations (including his own as they flew over by helicopter on the 28th to obtain more aerial shots; good photos were successfully taken with the other analog camera). Some video footage taken showed only "snow" when played back. Also reports of people experiencing headaches and / or nausea. The usual (!). One person who took a geiger counter into the circles last Tuesday reportedly obtained a reading of about 600, with a "normal" reading of about 150 outside. Ken is going to try to have that experiment repeated next week.
As well, Lynda told me that she was standing at the end of one of the arms of the smaller formation on the night of the 28th, the night of a *lunar eclipse* here in Canada. She noticed that this arm of the formation pointed directly at where the moon was in the sky. Another tie-in between formations this year and eclipses?? A diagram of this will be posted soon. I have also posted a link to a report by Ontario resident and researcher Krsanna Duran examining this andother possible connections (see below).
Also, there are apparently two other circles nearby the smaller formation, not initally reported but found later, about the same size as the other circles in this formation.
There have also been good reports on the circles in the July 29 (front page) and July 30 editions of The Hamilton Spectator newspaper in Ontario.
Many thanks to everyone who have assisted in this investigation. As this location is a long ways across the country from me (Vancouver, BC) and funds have been tight, I haven't been able to get to the site yet myself. Hopefully there will be more formations in western Canada again this year.

Update - July 29
Formation is 75 ' long by 55 ' wide. Additional aerial images by helicopter taken by Clynt King on the 28th. Located on the Six Nations Reserve, a Native Indian reservation at New Credit near the town of Hagersville (near Hamilton). Lots of local media and public interest in these formations. Further images, details when available.

First Canadian Crop Formations Point to Eclipse and Solar Eruptions
An Analysis by Krsanna Duran
Preliminary Report - July 26
Report received July 25 from Drew Gauley, Ontario representative for CPR-Canada after an initial ground inspection. Approx 60 - 70 foot pictogram in wheat. Initially reported July 22 to the CPR-Ontario office by Clynt King, whose brother, Ken King, owns the field. About two weeks old when first reported. Field had been harvested, but formation still easily seen in six inch tall standing cut wheat. Elaborate lay patterns and layering of plants, with opposite flowing sections of crop and standing tufts of plants in the centres of circles. Ground and aerial photos and video taken. Reported on local TV news. Further details when available.
