Nature Notes: Hedgehogs from the Cosmos or Tidy Whirlwinds?

This document is a compilation of articles from the Flying Saucer Review (FSR) concerning the appearance of mysterious flattened rings in cornfields, primarily at Cheesefoot Head, Hampshire, in 1981 and 1983. The author, Pat Delgado, documents the physical characteristics of these rings, noting their sharp edges and clockwise flattened stalks. The text contrasts these findings with various official and public explanations, such as rutting animals, whirlwinds, or human vandalism, which the author finds unsatisfactory. The document also provides historical context by referencing similar phenomena in Australia, specifically the 'saucer nests' reported in North Queensland in 1966. These accounts involve witnesses like George Pedley and Louie Maule, who reported seeing saucer-shaped objects and subsequent physical traces in the vegetation. A recurring theme in the Australian reports is the suspicious loss or confiscation of photographic and film evidence by authorities, leading to speculation about government involvement or cover-ups. Additionally, the document includes a brief update on the French research body G.E.P.A.N., noting their internal memorandum regarding soil and plant anomalies found at landing sites. The compilation serves as a record of ongoing, unexplained aerial and ground-based phenomena, emphasizing the persistence of these events despite official dismissals.
