UFO crop circles and microwaves

War of the Worlds?

This photo, "supposedly taken from a helicopter," was reproduced in a newspaper that generally does not indulge in such pranks. Location: near the commune of Montmelian. The mark was allegedly made by "compacting the soil" (but who examined it? Was there an investigation by the gendarmerie, a formal report?). If this mark were genuine, it wouldn't be a "crop circle," since there is no... wheat. Two years ago, I had suggested that crop circles appearing in English fields might correspond to microwave weapon tests. In this case, energy would concentrate in the nodes of wheat stalks, causing them to bend. Furthermore, since microwaves are harmful, we find in these wheat fields insects and small animals as if cooked in an oven of the same name. Finally, another point: when wheat is tall, nature lovers generally don't come to sleep there. So there's little risk of harming humans.

Many readers have sent me numerous videos showing UFOs hovering around these sites. I never followed up, given how easy it is to fabricate such documents. But after reading Christel Seval's book The Plan to Save the Earth, I began to see things differently. In chapter three, the author devotes some forty pages to this subject, and I discovered many aspects I had previously ignored—highly intriguing. First, the number: tens of thousands of formations since 1976. Then come particularly puzzling cases, carrying messages. Refer to this book.

Seval reconciles both the theory of weapon tests and extraterrestrial activity, summarizing it on page 149:

We exist
We know
We tolerate
We disapprove

One could view it the other way around. Extraterrestrials, by creating these formations, might be trying to make Earthlings aware of their existence. Conversely, terrestrial military forces, by successfully recreating these phenomena using systems deployed from an airplane, balloon, or even from space, would be in a position to say, "Nothing extraterrestrial here—this is us."

The strangeness of the phenomenon fits with the central idea Seval emphasizes throughout the book: the major risk of ethnocide, the collapse of our terrestrial civilizations, should the reality of extraterrestrial visits become undeniable. Thus, crop circles fall squarely within this strategy: a persistent, ostentatious display, yet remaining in ambiguity—something that is a constant feature of the UFO phenomenon in general.

The Montmelian case, if confirmed as a genuine ground mark (??), would pose a problem that would be hard to resolve (aside from the fact that all of this rests on a simple photographic hoax. But April 1st is still quite far off). If it were a real mark, given the current climate of tension, the timing of such a demonstration would be hard to overlook.

According to the newspaper, local Muslim community representatives had filed a complaint demanding apologies and exemplary sanctions against the perpetrators. Was a complaint actually filed?

In general, if this were a genuine ground mark, it would require about twenty people working for six or seven hours, equipped with a very precise positioning system, to create such a "land art" piece. The Moon was not full at the time, and there was no nearby light source. In conclusion:

• It would be difficult to imagine such precise, rapid earthwork by ordinary humans.

• To my knowledge, microwaves do not compact soil.

• The only remaining hypothesis is simple photographic forgery. In which case, it would have been rather careless of the newspaper to reproduce such a "loaded" image.

Could readers living in the area help clarify this for us?
