Crop Circles
The first pictogram - Daz Smith
In
July of 1990 one of the most important developments to the enigma
known as Crop Circles came and took the world by storm in the form
of the Alton Barnes Pictogram - The FIRST Pictogram.

The
day after this amazing Circle was reported in the Press I found
my way to it and arrived approximately 9.00pm.
We
appaorached the strange form in awe as the skies turned dark and
day changed to night. Like the others with me I felt that nothing
would be the same after seeing this - and we werent far wrong.
We
wound our way in and out of the complex forms and crisp edged shapes.
The weave was precise and the stalks of the crop could be felt crunching
under our every step.
Whilst
looking around I took two stalks of crop from the largest circle
right from the centre. On the way out of the formation near the
top approximately 50ft away I also picked two more stalks and place
both sets in sealed bags-where they have been till this day when
I scanned them in for this article.
The
two stalks from inside the circle still look as fressh today as
the day I picked them over 13 years ago. The two comparison stalks
from outside of the formation have broken, dead, are a different
colour and have a dark patchy fungus on both stalks.
Now
I cant say to anyone that Crop Circles are real - but back before
organised hoaxers when this formation was created I picked these
samples and to me they tell a story. They tell a story of a mystery
that we still cant understand, a mystery clouded by man himself,
invetigators and hoaxers alike.
