First of all, thanks so much to all of you who posted on Yahoo about the crop circle video, getting the word out about my movie. The comments continued to be overwhelmingly critical of the video — but it could be cause it was all of you! Am continuing to try to see if Toyota would follow up cause of how mad people got at them. And look on my blog for how many of you wrote to me — never got so many responses, and, as I’ve said, that was only people who posted directly on the blog. My own person email was swamped. In fact, to get on the blog, where I’d like to put all the comments on all the posts, please do it through the comments boxes at the end of each blog entry, which is the way your remarks can indeed get on the blog site.

Here’s a story from UFO Digest, analyzing a particular crop circle. (Photo by Lucy Pringle of a glyph from 2004.) I pass it along not because I expect non-scientists to pore over what it says, but to show you a typical sort of thing the circles give rise to. Many pieces are written about many circles to describe intelligence that is embedded in them.

People frequently wonder what the message is of the circles, as if they are a giant jigsaw puzzle and we will get the picture when we get all the pieces fitted together. Or that they are something like hieroglyphics, and we’ll get their message when we get everything translated. I don’t think so. My speculation is that each formation is its own bundle of encoded smarts. It’s not about deciphering the master message, but about getting it that some source is trying to get attention to itself. Intelligence, intelligence intelligence pulses at us. I think of the circlemakers scratching whatever passes for the heads in wonderment that we haven’t realized, en masse, that they exist: “We see you, we understand you, we are feeding back evidence. When are you going to get it that that’s what’s going on?”

I was especially impelled to pass on a story about this particular formation because this one has a featured spot in my movie. It was perfect on the ground, with all the stalks laid in a gorgeous carpet, nothing damaged, no evidence of any human tampering. “Yes, there is a real phenomenon,” says Andy Thomas, who is using this perfect glyph in his presentation to a conference audience about the fact that there incontrovertibly is a real phenomenon.

To follow up on the note in the last post about buying the film T-shirt, here’s a 90 second video we did after we made the shirts. I was touched by the things people said, and we use this video as the clincher to sell DVDs on our sale site: http://www.CropCircleMovie.com.

Here’s how we set it up:

We can keep telling you all kinds of great things about this award-winning documentary, but don’t just take our word for it. Watch the video below to find out what those who’ve seen “What On Earth?” have to say…

Passing this along on your Facebook pages, or wherever else you can spread the word would be much appreciated.

There are good books that give you the history of the circles and beautiful pictures of them, but there is only one book that takes you into the sense of discovery of what it is about them that blows your mind. And it is by a gifted writer, as well. Michael Glickman, an Englishman who was early on into the circles, which you learn about in my movie, taught architecture at USC when he lived in the States. Also, he is a designer, so he is uniquely positioned to appreciate the design factor of what the circles are demonstrating. That they are pretty patterns is one thing, but the staggering intelligence that is being delivered is another, and he will show you how the circle indeed are ”the bones of God.”

When somebody sent a ping back on what’s been quietly parked on my blog onto his website (the headline isn’t what’s posted), I got inspired to rev up my energy to figure out what to do with it. A little while ago, I pointed Arianna Huffington at it — although we have a faint connection, she graciously answers my emails.

She told me to blog about it on Huffington Post.

Actually, I did blog there, briefly. I struggled for approval of my pieces during a probation period, and finally was told my topic was a bit off-putting.

I can relate. Scientists won’t sign my petition, A Call For an Investigation of What is Known About Crop Circles, that I wanted to get in the face of the establishment, cause it could threaten their funding.

Any thoughts out there about a Huffington Post blog for THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX? Any contributions? We could do a contest.

Oh god, another project.
