"Mysterious Stone Circles" - Don Perigñon

News in recent years of strange circles in crops of wheat and barley in England and Europe sparked much speculation.

Leading psychics detected energy levels and vibrations consistent with them having been caused by close association with flying saucers, leading to suggestions that they may in fact be flying saucer nests, or landing pads.

Much work has been carried out in London by BIMBOS (British Intelligence Metaphysical, Bionics and Occult Scientists) to determine the origin and nature of the alien vessels, reliably rumoured to be making secret landings in the fields of darkest England. Theories so far suggest a likely origin to be near a G-type White Dwarf star near the horn of Capricorn.

There have been few reports of crop circles in Australia. However, there has been a recent discovery of strange stone circles between Ilford and Sofala, which has caused great excitement among researchers at the Department of Oxometry, University of Western Mudgee.

One group is looking for a nexus with the Northern hemisphere circles, and is doing complex spectrum analysis of the standing stones at Stonehenge to determine if a digital resonance of like intensity, if different magnitude can be established.

Meanwhile, the historical possibilities are not being ignored. A number of papers concerning the history of the western gold field refer to strange rites being performed under a full moon by groups of Irish miners in which stone circles to link with the Celtic standing stones of the British Isles, and Brittainy, were constructed.

Elements of these rites included brewing the sacred poteen, and communing with the Great White Spirit.
