THE FLATTENED CIRCLES IN THE CROPS: REPORT ON THE PHENOMENON FOR THE YEAR 1987

This document, published by Flying Saucer Review (FSR), provides a report on the 1987 crop circle phenomenon in the United Kingdom, authored by consultant Pat Delgado. Delgado notes that while 1986 was a significant year for crop circles, 1987 presented new complexities, including earlier appearances and more intricate patterns such as 'H' and 'O' formations. The report details specific observations, including instances of spiral whorls, contra-rotating forces, and the re-visitation of sites. Delgado asserts that conventional science is insufficient to explain these occurrences. The document includes a detailed table listing 31 sites, their dates of discovery, dimensions, rotation patterns (clockwise or counter-clockwise), and map coordinates. Additionally, the document features an editorial section discussing the 'Mystery Circles' in the context of four-dimensional geometry, referencing Edwin A. Abbott's 'Flatland'. A separate section titled 'Be Prepared to Meet Thy Aliens!' investigates claims regarding a Vatican-based 'Space Mission' program, concluding that such reports are bogus. The document also contains an advertisement for a magnetometer and a brief mention of BUFORA.
