Circles, Saucers and Space-Brothers

Circles, Saucers and Space-Brothers

Apr 27th in Modern Mysteries & UFO Phenomenon by Nick Redfern

In the late 1980s, there began a deep connection between the Crop Circle phenomenon and what might accurately be termed 1950s-style Space-Brothers of the type that the likes of so-called Contactees George Van Tassel, Orfeo Angelucci and George Adamski claimed to have met. Curiously, this is an aspect of the Crop Circle puzzle this is seldom discussed; yet, it is one that I have come across on a number of occasions.

In a March 2009 article titled Dog Walker Met UFO “Alien” With Scandinavian Accent, journalist Sarah Knapton wrote in the pages of Britain’s highly-respected Daily Telegraph newspaper that the British Ministry of Defense had then-recently released into the public domain – via the terms of the nation’s Freedom of Information Act – a number of formerly-classified files on UFOs. One of those files, said Knapton, detailed the account of “a dog walker claimed she met a man from another planet who said aliens were responsible for crop circles.”

So the story went: the anonymous woman had telephoned the Royal Air Force base at Wattisham, Suffolk, in a state of considerable distress, and with a remarkable tale to tell. As the woman told the operator at the base, the incident in question had occurred while she was walking her pet dog on a sports-field close to her home near the city of Norwich at about 10.30 p.m. on the night of November 20, 1989. She had been approached by a man with a “Scandinavian-type accent,” who was dressed in “a light-brown garment like a flying suit.”

Royal Air Force documentation on the case notes the following: “He asked her if she was aware of stories about large circular flattened areas appearing in fields of wheat, and then went on to explain that he was from another planet similar to Earth, and that the circles had been caused by others like him who had traveled to Earth.” The man assured the woman that the aliens were friendly; but that “they were told not to have contact with humans for fear that they would be considered a threat.”
