Channel 4 Equinox documentary about the mystery of crop circles, broadcast shortly before Dave Chorley and Doug Bower revealed themselves to have started the craze.
The curious crop circle phenomenon first appeared in the mid-1600s, known then by locals as “The Devil’s Mowing.” But once the 1970s arrived, the appearance of crop circles exploded. Centered around highly charged electromagnetic ley-lines, primarily in the mysterious Stonehenge area of England, these elaborate geometric designs, cut overnight into fields of wheat, suggest an advanced civilization, perhaps of extraterrestrial origin. Highly advanced mathematical equations were examined and deciphered, complete with sacred geometry and hidden messages for mankind. Most of these signs can only be seen from the air. Who is the Prince of the Power of the Air?

Through photographic analysis of many crop circles which often accumulate close to these ancient megalithic stone circles, CHRIS EVERARD has managed to piece together a TIMELINE which connects more than 4,000 years of history - proving that the Crop Circles are 'attracted' to these lines of geo-energy and that our ancient forefathers knew all about the self-luminous balls of energy which make the Crop Circles...
