In response to rutkows@ccu.umanitoba.ca (Chris Rutkowski):

I've passed on your request to Marshall to repost the stats. In the
meantime, here's a copy of a message by him on the subject:

No don't know who.  We do have some interesting observations though. In
a number of circles, they start with very obvious normal wind damage,
which then appears to get channeled by some type of intellegence and
guided into making the shapes.  Some circles are not fully pressed down
to the ground, so the first person in tramples it.  And in almost all
"real" circles, any imperfections in the crop (a missing drill line, or
missing crop where excessive fertilizer was dropped), will result in
standing stalks on the up side of the imperfection.  Also the crop goes
down so that if you lift the heads, you will find no buried heads in
the lower levels.  In the case of man made circles none of the above
statements remain true.

The circles are obviously formed with some type of intellegence, and it
isn't human, unless they are being made by some unknown method by the
government using very advance technology.  When I was over there we
found that when circles were being made, orange glowing balls a foot or
less in diameter were often observed in the area of the circle.  Also
white glowing balls are seen occasionally after the circle is made the
following morning or next day.  Whether these are involved in the
making, or simply observers is not clear.  Also one night a UFO about 80
foot in diameter came through Elton Barnes.  This incident was mentioned
in last Friday's sightings, but we talked to another group on another
hill who were not aware of Micheal Greer's sighting, who also witnessed
the same incident, so we consider it highly likely it happened.  There
were no know circles associated with that incident, but an orange ball,
left the saucer, split in half and went off in different directions.

Most English think it is related to spiritual activity (signs and more
signs in some cases).  Most Americans seem to think it is related to
alien activity, but which group is anyone's guess.   Others think it is
interdimentional, and still others psycho-kinesis related to the
universal subconcious.  Some fundamentalists think it is God.

As for me, I just don't know.
