Although usually the Circles try to appear without unnecessary noise, it is difficult now to find tens and hundreds of deserted places completely without strangers, even in night fields. Only in Russia did we manage to find dozens of witnesses who claimed that the Circles were formed in a very short time (they say - from a few seconds to ten minutes). There is not a single message where this process would stretch out for a longer period (however, most often eyewitnesses can not say anything definite except: “It was not in the evening, we saw it in the morning”).

The process of the emergence of the Circles is fleeting and is accompanied by a wide variety of atmospheric effects. Most importantly, none of the eyewitnesses associates the process of the appearance of the Circles with any creatures (people or not people).

How quickly do circles appear? Descriptions of Russian eyewitnesses usually fit in a matter of minutes or even seconds, depending on how far the eyewitness is from the scene. The closer, the earlier the majestic "performance" begins for the eyewitness, while distant viewers will pay attention to the lighting effects much later. In any case, the entire event from start to finish takes 10-1000 times less time than it takes even a large team of experienced circular builders to fake a similar (only external) picture of circles. Although it is possible that the time of direct "drawing" of the figure takes a short period of several seconds, before and after this event, some time is spent on light and other phenomena in the area of Kroogi. Most likely, the total time required for the appearance of the Circle should be estimated as "about 10-20 minutes" with all the periods of preparation for the appearance of the Circle and the residual phenomena after its appearance.

For some reason, dogs react especially violently to formations. Many dog owners note the odd behavior of their pets on the eve or on the night of the appearance of the circle. It has been noticed that dogs are the most sensitive living "indicators" both at the time of the formation of the Formations, and after. It is on the help of dogs that some of the Cosmopoisk expeditions emphasize; in combination with instrumental indicators, the canine allows you to make sure that Kroogi does not have a chance to appear unnoticed by researchers. However, not only dogs, but also cats, birds, horses react to circles no less sensitively.

According to long-term observations of "Cosmopoisk", it can be concluded that there is a so-called "protective effect" that clears the place of appearance of the Circles from outsiders. Something or someone affects people, animals, people and even technology, helping to clear the territory. The impact on people and technology at the time of the birth of the Circles is rarely (possibly never) simultaneous. That is, the impact is either on living people, but not on equipment (this happens in cases when people are too close to the scene of events, and they are given the opportunity to leave on non-stalled equipment), or vice versa (this happens in when people in a car are approaching a dangerous area from afar, and a jammed car is the best way to keep them out). Both the one and the other influence ceases soon, as soon as the person leaves the danger zone far enough, or the process of the emergence of the Circles stops. In the first case, a person who is nearby at the moment the circle appears, experiences terrible fear and runs away. In other cases, the glow at the appearance of the Circles, on the contrary, does not frighten, but arouses interest, amuses. But the effect on technology is diametrically opposite, an incomprehensible glow muffles the engines of cars and motorcycles.

Most of these actions look quite sensible and reasonable (the goal is really to expel or prevent, but not to cause harm to equipment and people). Indeed, why panic people and at the same time deprive them of their vehicle (and in fact thereby deprive people of the opportunity to retreat)? But who or what is acting so intelligently? The answer to this question is not so simple, although most probably would not hesitate to answer it simply by thinking about UFO pilots. However, the involvement of UFOs in this problem still needs to be proved …

Despite the action of the "protective effect", clearly aimed at driving the maximum number of people and animals out of the danger zone, nevertheless, some of them still remain in place. Fortunately, no fatalities have yet been recorded among the people remaining in the area where the Circle originated. But some of the animals died! This is surprising at first glance, because animals are better than humans sensitive to seismic and atmospheric vibrations, and if a natural cataclysm is approaching, they will be the first to know about it, while dying much less often than humans. In addition to the fact that Circles appear more often in uninhabited areas, where animals are much more often than people, these events usually occur after midnight, when there are practically no people in the open area, but nocturnal animals are actively awake. However, most of the awake animals, just like sleeping animals, feel the danger and still leave. Only a few die, and, as the research of Cosmopoisk found out, only for three reasons:

1) Because of the desire to escape from danger, curled up and hiding in place (for this reason, porcupines and hedgehogs die).

2) Due to the inability to slow down or turn off when flying at high speed over the place of danger (only birds can have such dangerous speeds, and so far only birds die for this reason).

3) Due to the inability to leave the dangerous place for reasons beyond the control of the animal (there is information about the dead tied domestic animals and wild animals trapped in the trap).

During the appearance of some Circles, the process itself is accompanied by light effects, moreover, often eyewitnesses do not see the source of this light. There are a lot of examples “for” and “against” the involvement of UFOs in the appearance of the Pictograms. In some cases, before the appearance of the Pictograms, eyewitnesses observe UFOs in the sky or on the ground. When simple Circles (with a simple pattern) appeared, such observations have not yet been noted.

CAUSE OF OCCURRENCE

In the 1990s, when searching for the causes of the emergence of the Circles and testing numerous hypotheses (then there were already more than a dozen of them, and after 10 years it exceeded three dozen), we had to mentally divide all hypotheses into 3 categories according to the direction of influence of a possible cause. All hypotheses were divided into “underground”, “aboveground” and “aboveground” (see Part 1). But whichever of more than three dozen hypotheses would not be confirmed, but depending on which of the 3 categories it belongs to, during the construction of the Circles, errors characteristic of this category should inevitably arise due to the unevenness of the terrain where the Circle is being built. Under the influence from below, underground pipes, cavities, ditches will interfere; when exposed from above - trees, wires, poles, hills; when exposed to ground - any irregularities in the soil. Any unevenness (bump, dimple) can distort the slender shape of the Circle, but depending on where the impact is from (from below, from above, from the surface of the earth), in each case the shadow (distortion) will be different. This was the assumption in theory. And what about in practice?

During the Cosmopoisk expeditions for two decades, hundreds of people were looking for these errors. In particular, it turned out that all circles are not ideal circles at all, but real ovals, ellipses, which are just distorted images of circles on the soil surface. And based on these distortions, it turned out to be possible to calculate the direction from which the impact came, which led to the emergence of the Formation. Definitely - from above. But where exactly? In some cases, calculations have shown - from a very large distance, so much so that the conditional impact (rays? Radiation?) Can be considered parallel, and not diverging "rays". In some cases (a remarkable example is the Vasyurin Pictogram of 2009), it was possible to identify the source of the impact, which appeared at an altitude of only a few tens of meters above the ground.

An interesting point: in Russia (USSR) the circles in the Pictograms turned out to be elliptical on any terrain, and in England only patterns appearing on the slopes of the hills turned out to be ellipses (and, according to simple calculations, the elongation of the ellipses exactly corresponds to the gradient of the slope). Does this not mean that in England the impact comes vertically from above, and in Russia - at a certain angle to the horizon?

If this feature is further confirmed in practice, it will mean, for example, that Circles in England arise from the impact from infinitely distant objects (from space?), And in Russia - either from the impact from "local overground sources" (UFO), or … Or another option: the impact comes from the same sources in space, but this directed impact is oriented (aimed) at a certain “reference point in space, a lighthouse” (for example, at Stonehenge). In this case, the impact near the "lighthouse" will go vertically from above, but the farther from England, the greater the angle such impact will come from.

FEATURES AND TRENDS

Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in other countries, has not a single absolutely identical pictogram been noted so far. Except, perhaps, the classic flat Circle without any frills. From this it follows, at least, that pictograms are not a kind of “typical alphabet” in which a certain text is “dictated from above”, the meaning of which we must unravel. But, despite the huge variety (tens of thousands of different shapes), they have clear distinctive features and common features. There are also prevailing trends.

Until the late 1970s, Circles were just simple circles appearing singly; the cereals in them were always stacked clockwise. Then, they began to appear in groups, arranged in a certain way. Since 1986, outer rings began to occur around some of the circles and stems lodging counterclockwise. Since 1987, circles have begun to appear surrounded by two rings; circles with four or more rings appeared even later. Since 1990, after the appearance of a huge complex of circles with branches, there has been another increase in the complexity of the figures, which are increasingly called "pictograms", as well as subsequent complex formations. In England, in addition to their continuing complication, the Pictograms seem to have an annual evolutionary cycle: the first Circles, usually appearing in April-May, are small and simple in shape; subsequent Circles grow in difficulty, at the same time increasing in size, and reach a peak in size and difficulty by the time of harvest (late July - early August). Every year there seems to be a new line of behavior of the phenomenon, manifesting itself in the form of a "grand finale" towards the end of the lap season …

In 1996-2000 in Russia there was a tendency for the prevalence of similar patterns (Triglyphs) - triangles made up of 1 large central Circle and 3 small Circles. In the West, at the same time, the predominant pattern has become a combination of several (from 2-3 to several dozen) Circles of different sizes in one chain.

Both Russian and English Circles have a tendency to complicate the drawing:

1) at first, in all countries, pictograms begin with simple, uncomplicated circles;

2) then comes a simple combination of Circles and lines, 3) then these combinations are complicated by decreasing straight lines and increasing curves, 4) meaningful two-dimensional images of paintings, diagrams, graphs appear.

Russia from 1996 to the present is at the 2nd and 3rd stages, England - at the 2nd, 3rd and 4th.

At the third stage of complication of drawings, self-similarity (fractality) and all types of symmetry (axial, linear, etc.) are increasingly manifested. If there is a chain of Circles, then the ratios between them are almost always equal (each subsequent Circle is larger than the previous one by the same amount as it is smaller than the next), or less often - these ratios obey a more complex law (the ratio of the size ratios increases or decreases by some not yet found mathematical regularity or a formula with or without an extremum).

Sometimes there are fractal patterns: for example, Circles "made, composed" of smaller circles.

An important feature of all Circles and Pictograms: the inclined stems never rest their tops against the walls. It is clear how this is achieved in Circles and figures of rotation - there the stems are simply tilted clockwise (less often - counterclockwise), so the stems are located tangentially to the walls of the perimeter. In complex pictograms, it would seem that this is impossible to achieve - if the stems are toppled in the form of any line or rectangular figure, then at least in one side of the quadrangular figure or at one end of the segment, the stems should lie towards the wall. However, the figures and lines in the pictograms are so cleverly intertwined that this most often does not happen, and the "end" walls smoothly turn into segments, and the ends of the segments - into figures of rotation. One way or another, but simple Circles and the most complex pictograms have no beginning or end. They seem to be executed "with one stroke", with one uninterrupted movement of a gigantic mechanism. As an analogy, we can cite similar movements that are carried out by drawing cursors in computer programs, drawing plotters, or some artists who draw without taking the pencil off the paper. By the way, a children's toy is drawn in the same style by a cyclographer, and figures in the Nazca desert and in other places are built on a similar principle.

Let's list the main mandatory features of the shapes of Circles and pictograms that we were able to identify:

1) clarity;

2) non-repeatability;

3) the presence of the figure (figures) of rotation;

4) "non-dead end" twist of the stems;

5) the absence of the beginning and the end in the figures;

6) fractality …

The precision with which many of the Pictograms have been erected is astonishing. Of course, in this case, we are not talking about gross forgeries made with an accuracy of "plus or minus a couple of steps." When it comes to the Pictogram, made with “plus or minus a spikelet” precision, talk about primitive methods of forgery becomes irrelevant. It is possible (theoretically) to forge such precise figures only with the help of computer graphics on an electronic screen, but not in any way dirty hummocks of wheat fields wet from the night dew.

In 2000, in the Pictogram-triglyph near Novoaleksandrovka (Stavropol Territory, 2000-13-06), the accuracy of the figure construction was such that when checking the error, it was not possible to detect deviations even with theodolites and laser rangefinders. But the check was carried out by qualified specialists in the light of day, while they were not limited in time, but the Pictogram appeared in a matter of minutes (seconds) deep at night in the dark. How was it possible, in complete or almost complete darkness (at the moment of the appearance of the Pictogram, a glow still appeared over the field) to create a perfect figure even with the help of the same theodolites and laser rangefinders?

Several times, various researchers in different countries noticed that the air above the real Circles was slightly warmer than nearby.

At times, mysterious sounds are heard from within Kroogi: hum, buzz, rattling, ultrasounds … Sometimes they can be recorded on a tape recorder, but there are often cases when the equipment in Kroogi flatly refuses to work. Although witnesses reported both discomfort and ringing in the ears during the appearance of the "buzzing sounds", so far none of the observers has suffered from the sounds.

Another feature of true Circles is the increased infrared radiation inside and outside the figure. At least some of the Pictograms are also electromagnetic anomalies (consequences or sources of these anomalies).

Hundreds (if not thousands) of times in many countries and many times, members of Cosmopoisk, professional researchers and casual amateurs have measured radioactive radiation on Kroogi, and so far no dangerous level of radiation has been recorded. The maximum recorded level is 1.5 times higher than the background level, and then it is observed at one point of the Formation, which is usually, but not always, in the center. A lower radiation level is recorded much more often. Rumors of high radiation levels on Kroogi have been completely refuted. However, the absence of a radiation hazard within the Formations does not mean that there is no hazard at all.

Numerous witnesses who visited Kroogi claimed that various equipment broke down for a short time or forever: from ordinary mounting bolts and mobile phones to cars and airplanes.

In laboratory studies funded by the British government, it turned out that the nitrogen content in samples taken from the soil and plants within the Circles was twice as high as in the controls.

Wheat stalks were examined in the United States at the BLT Research Biophysical Laboratory, and it was found that plant cells in the bend zone were swollen, as if they had been exposed to microwave radiation.

The reports of Western botanists contain indications of some other deviations from the norm found in Kroogi, for example, ugly grains, multiple embryos, superficial plant burns, etc. However, all these anomalies are not permanent signs of Circles, and doubts remain whether they are caused by natural causes (however, as additional information accumulates, such doubts become less and less).

The English researcher Nancy Talbot, after analyzing numerous soil samples taken on several Pictograms, came to the conclusion about the existence of "blue particles" in the soil. According to V. Gushcha ("Riga-Cosmopoisk"), obtained by analyzing the stalks of cereals from Krugi, traces of exposure to microwave radiation are also visible on them (the blue color of small formations is, possibly, scale). The nature of injuries to plant tissues from Kroogi suggests that the effect was not of a thermal nature, the tissues simply collapsed, turning into a kind of cotton wool, there was also a rapid evaporation of moisture from the tissues, dehydration. It turns out that when the Circles appear, microwaves act on the stems …

With the help of laboratory analyzes, it is possible with a high reliability to determine plant samples from real circles from fake ones. A number of studies indicate that when Circles occur, the stems are exposed to microwave radiation.

According to Western researchers, sometimes a mysterious jelly-like substance typical of UFO landings is found inside Kroogi, sometimes, as they write, “strange variations in the radiation background …” Most often, such strange messages are not confirmed.

In addition to the discovery of "unnecessary" objects inside the arisen Circles, sometimes the opposite phenomenon occurs - other objects disappear in the most incomprehensible way. True, information about such cases mainly came from Europe, in Russia they have not yet encountered such a thing (or have not noticed?).

Measurements on Kroogi, performed by Cosmopoisk in different years, have shown that residual chronoanomalies are observed on some fresh Formations. Accurate clocks are lagging behind inside Kroogi (or in one of the places on the edge of Kroogi), the maximum lag was recorded in 1999 - about 8 seconds per night of measurements.

It is noticed that the real Pictograms are not visited by animals and birds for some time after their appearance. As practice has shown, in the long term, the Crop Circle phenomenon does not cause any visible harm to the environment and animals.

FEATURES OF RUSSIAN CIRCLES

In the early 1990s, a survey of the Kroogi (Cosmopoisk expeditions of 1987-1999) showed that they were not fakes, the visual criteria of authenticity corresponded to the best English samples. Clear boundaries and lively, bent, unbroken stems - the first sign of authenticity - were there. When the first differences began to emerge, the first and quite expected reaction from the researchers was - to explain the fakes that differ from Western Formation standards. As the explanation of certain features, the attitude towards some former “forgeries” gradually changed to a calm one, although at the same time, some standard (in the West) formations suffered the fate of being counted among the forgeries. There is nothing to be done, geoglyphology is a science that is rapidly developing … on its own and others' mistakes.

The prevailing general opinion (now it is not even clear where it came from?) That "real Western Pictograms are simply off scale devices" dispersed like morning dew. After the very first instrumental instruments undertaken by Kosmopoisk, it turned out that there were not so many deviations from the norm in fields and radiation in the regions of the Russian Krugs. Perhaps for the first time, we tried to use more than a dozen of the most different devices for the survey. The result is as follows: no deviations in almost the entire spectrum - infrared, ultraviolet rays, microwave, X-rays, beta rays - everything is normal. A few minor exceptions (for example, at the border of the Circle, the background of alpha rays turned out to be 1.5 times steadily increased).

What are the fundamental differences between Russian circles?

The main difference is primarily in the territory of Russia. Given the large size of the country and extremely low (not only for Great Britain, but also for many European countries) the density of the appearance of the Pictograms, the distances between them are calculated not in half an hour's drive, as in England, and sometimes - in several days. But such a scatter made it possible not only to build more accurate maps of the location of the Circles on the ground on a different scale, but also to discover many features and patterns that were simply impossible to notice on a European scale.

After numerous observations and logging of the Circles, it was noticed that lodging of plants occurs according to a certain system (systems), in each certain season it occurs strictly on its own strip (we called "geoglyphic strip"). All stripes, as it turned out, intersect in the region of southern England (paradoxically, but the British themselves could not notice this precisely because of the scale of their maps and the large number of distracting forgeries). Each strip has its own characteristics, although in some ways the stripes repeat each other. The Russian Circles showed seasonal "fashion trends": then ordinary Circles appear in a row, then Biglyphs, then Triglyphs, after them - Rings, then - figures with sinusoids and this, apparently, is not the last "fashionable trend" in Russian Pictograms. New trends on the bands are exactly repeated on the Circles, located hundreds of kilometers apart from one another. Or thousands? One way or another, the behavior of the stripes is still largely unpredictable, but as the archival data accumulates, there is a chance to understand a lot …

Another insignificant feature of the Russian Circles is that they are in no way or almost in no way tied to ancient esoteric places. The tendency to "tie" the appearance of all the Pictograms to the ancient sacred places "attracting them" is very strong throughout Europe, including Eastern European Poland and the Czech Republic. It is difficult to say how much this corresponds to the truth, but in old Europe it is difficult for the new Circles to find a place that was not "marked" by ancient ruins before it (sometimes it seems that ancient monuments are there at every step). But not in Russia. Here, the Circles seem to pay little attention to antiquities. Why, if there is so much free space around ?! Or the reason is that our open spaces are poorly explored (in any case, only under the Formations on the grass "Kosmopoisk" made attempts to excavate the ground, while under the Pictograms on farmer fields in Russia none of the scientists have carried out archaeological excavations yet) …

Another "national feature" of the study of the Circles in comparison with the Western ones is the relatively higher scientific component and a lower esoteric component of the studies of these very Circles, which was established with the help of Cosmoprospecting. Yes, and in Russia there are a huge number of esotericists, tourists and pilgrims seeking to visit certain Pictograms, but in research the first violins have been played by "techies" for many years.

Taking into account our domestic almost universal employment with "more important matters", it can be assumed that most of the Circles in Russia, before they began to actively study Cosmopoisk, remained unnoticed for a long time (now, according to our estimates, it is possible to identify up to 2/3 of all emerging Pictograms). After the first publications of statistics, Russia "took revenge" for all the years of lag, now Russia has taken a stable 2nd place (after England) in the number of real Circles (at the same time, we must pay tribute to our people, in the number of fake Circles we barely we enter the top ten (skipping ahead not only England, but also the USA, Canada, France, Germany, Holland, Poland, Czech Republic, New Zealand) …
