ACKNOWLEDGMENT

I would like to express my great appreciation and thanks to all the crop circle
researchers and writers who have contributed to this synthesis of information about
the crop circle phenomenon, and to all those people whose ideas have enriched me
yet which I have not directly incorporated into this writing. Some of those whom I have
not cited are Francine Blake, Jazz Rasool and Barbara Hand Clow.
I thank the genuine crop circle creative intelligence for going to the effort again and
again to give us these patterns in our crop fields, which inspire us with their beauty,
arouse our curiosity and wake us up to new information and perspectives. I apologize
to the true circlemakers for not including in this writing all of their fine creations
because of limitations of space.

I thank all of the photographers who made the many expensive flights to provide
beautiful photographs of crop circles, which preserve the archives of this precious
phenomenon. I acknowledge Steve Alexander, Lucy Pringle, Colin Andrews, Busty
Taylor, Steve Patterson, Ron Russell, Michael Glickman and Patricia Murray, Karen
Cushing, Andrew King, Peter Sorensen, N. Hillier, Ulrich Kox and Petr Novak. I
especially thank Lucy Pringle, Karen Cushing and Andrew King, who generously
donated their photographs to this book.

My appreciation goes to the people who provided drawings of the crop circles, many
of which I have included to illustrate various points, especially Peter Sorensen, Colin
Andrews and Pat Palgrave-Moore. Additional thanks go to Richard Andrews, R,
Armstrong, Beth Davis, Isabelle Kingston, Lucy Pringle, Leonie Starr, Busty Taylor
and George Wingfield. I acknowledge them also for their continuing research in and
over the fields of England during the several crop-growing months each year.

I offer a special acknowledgment to everyone who has enriched crop circle theories
and interpretations by offering us insights about the solid geometry, geometric
theorems and sacred geometry exhibited in the crop circle formations. The list
includes Gerald S. Hawkins, John Martineau, Michael Glickman, Freddy Silva, Rod
Bearcloud Berry, Peter Sorensen, Brian Grist, Bert Janssen and John Michell. My
apologies to anyone else' contributing to this aspect of the work whom I have failed to
mention.

I give enthusiastic kudos to Mark Fussell and Stuart Dike of the Crop Circle
Connector Internet Web site for including and updating pictures and information
about each crop circle about which they have been informed. They donate great
amounts of time, effort and personal expense to visit as many crop circles as they
can, taking their effective "pole shot" photographs and writing field reports. They
include this information about crop circles in England and in other countries on their
Web site, and it is shared with crop circle enthusiasts worldwide. This is a much
welcomed and appreciated service.

I especially commend the fine people who have organized the crop circle conferences
in England that I have attended so enthusiastically: Francine Blake, Roland and Clare
Pargeter, and currently Andy Thomas, Karen Douglas and Sheila Martin. Their hard
work and initiative provide an inestimable enrichment for me and for the crop circle
community.

My personal appreciation extends to friends who have accompanied me on many
adventures in the giant treasure hunt of finding and experiencing crop circles
firsthand: Shawn Randall, Cariel Quinly, Denni Clarke, Patricia Hill, Karen Cushing,
ilyes, Peter Sorensen, Valja Roseman, Wendy Allen, , Margaret Moore, Chet and
Kallista Snow, Jean Booth, Andrea Corsick, Gil Holt and Nonie Michelli. I am grateful
for the loving support and encouragement of my dear husband, Warren Lamb, my
son, Chris Peterson, and my daughters, Jennifer Catozzi and Erica Doman.

I deeply appreciate the channeling of transmissions by Judy Moore, which bring
significant insights and messages about the crop circles from high spiritual sources.
This information helps us to understand at deep levels the large movements going on
today and into the future, involving humanity, the Earth and the cosmos. I thank Judy
for all she has introduced to me in the spiritual realm and for bringing my awareness
more than ever before to the specialness and sacredness of the Wiltshire landscape.
I honor her lightheartedness, her humor and her very generous nature, and I thank
her for carrying my heavy backpack into all the crop circles we explored together! In
my opinion, the transmissions she relays to us are at the heart of the matter.

Imagine you are driving up to the entrance of the Barge Inn on a balmy July
evening in rural southern England. It's still twilight; and the stars are just appearing.
You are about to enter another world. The Barge, Inn, an unprepossessing little
pub at the' end of a dead-end road in Honey Street, next to Alton Barnes, Wiltshire
County, is the gathering place for crop circle enthusiasts, or croppies, from allover
the world. This is a central information source for news about the spotting of new
crop circles as well as a haven for .the irresistible urge to share-and to mirror-the
experiences of physically entering the formations.

If you enter the backroom, immediately your eye is caught by a map of southern
England pinned on the wall and covered with colored stickers showing the locations
of the season's crop circles. As reports of the new crop circles are tracked,
veterans remember the crop circles made in the same or nearby fields in past
years, and plans are made for visiting them, meditating in them and recording them
to scale with drawings, surveys and. computer graphics. As the conversations ebb
and flow nearby, you hear tantalizing fragments, about intuitions received during
meditations, the effects of the energies on dowsing rods and batteries, and what it
feels like to stand in a new crop circle and know at the core of that being that no
human could have created such miraculous constructions. Unfamiliar or possibly
familiar terms strike your ears, such as Fibonacci spirals, fractals, Mandelbrots, the
Golden Mean, vortices, synchronicities and other terms of mythology and sacred
geometry. And over and under and through all the words spoken in several accents
and languages, you can pick up the feelings of excitement, awe and curiosity about
the crop circles and their makers, whether the speakers are on their first or
twentieth visit.

Welcome to the world of crop circles, one of the most tantalizing phenomena in our
world today. It is difficult not to be captivated by their beauty and complexity and by
the questions and issues they provoke, including the query that becomes more
pressing every, day: What other intelligent life forms are out there trying to
communicate with us? What are their intentions? What is the communication
system between them, the Earth and humanity? Consider this: Groups of croppies
have meditated together on visual patterns and projected the intention that crop
circles would be made, of those images. And that has happened. What do events
like that do to our world view? Send to our view of the cosmos?

We, Barbara Lamb and Judy Moore, felt impelled to gather together information
available on crop circles, especially those in southern England that Barbara has
been visiting for ten years and that captivated Judy before her visit in the summer
of 1999. It is impossible to ignore the synchronicity of the proliferation of crop
circles near Stonehenge, Silbury Hill and other ancient sacred sites. We wanted to
share with you the awe, the anticipation, the passion, the reverence, the beauty,
the questions, the theories, the comraderie of the cropples, the pictures.…

The information in this book has come from many sources, human and otherwise.
Unfortunately, we have lost track of some of the sources of our information over the
years. We would hear a theory about a crop circle and it felt right intuitively, so we
incorporated it. Several years and many crop circles later we might have forgotten
who first stated that point of view, at what convention or on what evening sitting in
the' Barge Inn or in a crop circle after a meditation; Many ideas grew synergistically
from what we would consider group consciousness; and often it has been difficult to
give credit to anyone individual. We apologize to anyone who recognizes that he or
she is the, original source of a fact or idea and we did not provide accurate
acknowledgment. Please contact us so we can provide more accurate information
in later editions of this book.
