Crop circles are like ephemeral agricultural cathedrals – many hold unique energies that compel or repel visitors.  No one can predict their impact in advance.  They must be experienced to be appreciated.  Although they now have been sited in over two dozen countries, including the U.S. & Canada, rural southern England remains the "heart" of the phenomena.   Many are clustered around the 4-5,000 year old Neolithic sites of Avebury and Stonehenge where our distant ancestors worshipped the stars.

For over a quarter century, across thousands of acres of English countryside, fields planted with  crops like rape-seed, barley and wheat have experienced a spectacular transformation overnight.  Tranquil landscapes have suddenly been sprouted unusual and imaginative designs made within the crop itself, ranging from a single circle to complex representations of sophisticated mathematical formulas.   Ancient spiritual symbols using the proportions of sacred geometry have also appeared, fascinating & intriguing all who have seen them.  From 1991 to the present, we’ve been researching the enigma of these mysterious agriglyphs.   Next summer, 2009, will be the 18th consecutive year Kallista and I have gone to Wiltshire.  In August 2008, despite terrible weather,  our group went into 7 new Crop Circles and we flew over about 14 new or recent circles during our helicopter flight.  

Genuine crop circles, for as with any popular invention a few "copy-cat" patterns can be traced to clever  human "hoaxers," respect the principle of Life: most plant stalks are bent at node points but not broken so the crop continues to live and grow despite its being used as a gigantic piece of art.  The exact process by which this delicate operation is accomplished still remains an mystery.  Scientific research has confirmed that significant changes at the cellular level occur in plants within crop circle formations.   That cannot be "hoaxed"!   The phenomenon is clearly intelligently planned  and has been evolving over the last two decades but who or what is behind it remains shrouded in mystery.  And yet, as with many other paranormal events, the mainstream media has all-but-ignored it.

This may be a miracle in the making! 

Come, explore for yourself.

The August 3 - 10, 2009 trip includes:


PRICE:   $2,500Round-trip air fare to London-Heathrow is NOT included.  
Single Room supplement: $400.  We cannot guarantee you a room mate.

* 2009 Tour price is guaranteed unless the US $/GB £ exchange rate drops 5% or more from the 9/1/08 rates or gasoline goes up over 5% from 8/08 UK prices.  If required, a fuel or exchange-rate surcharge will be declared in July.  This has never exceeded $100 per person.

NOTE:    Participants will meet in the Heathrow Airport Terminal 3, Arrivals lounge, at 12 pm on Monday, August 3 and will be returned to Heathrow Airport on August 10, but only  at 11 AM.     Please do NOT schedule flight departures on August 10th before about 1:30 PM as you need  2.5 hours after our 11 AM arrival at Heathrow for security checks.    We recommend flying to Britain 24 hours before our scheduled meeting time & staying overnight nearby because we cannot wait for increasingly-common lengthy flight delays.  Anyone who is not at our designated meeting place in the Arrivals lounge of Terminal 3, ready to be picked up and depart for Wiltshire on Monday, August 3, 2009, at 12 pm (Noon) must get their own transportation to Wiltshire.   If delayed, please phone our Wiltshire hotel and tell them your circumstances.  Hotel information will be given to participants after their 2009 tour registration.   We can recommend near-to-Heathrow hotels to you when you register.  

We  CANNOT accommodate early-morning return departures to the USA or flights to or from Gatwick airport as our Wiltshire hotel is too far away.  Heathrow is the closest London airport to Wiltshire.   

Those who must fly out early are asked to stay over night on August 10 near Heathrow or arrange their own transport to the airport  (it costs 90 GB Pounds for a taxi from Wiltshire)).   We can drop you at a hotel near Heathrow Airport that has bus service to the Air Terminals on Monday, August 10 when we take the rest of the group to Heathrow .   E-mail me if you must leave early.
