Art Bell returns after a severe back injury to deliver two major revelations on his website: moving video of a ghost crossing a road in Nova Scotia and aerial photographs of the Milk Hill crop formation in Wiltshire, the largest ever recorded with 409 circles. Linda Moulton Howe and Lucy Pringle from Hampshire, England, provide detailed analysis of this unprecedented formation spanning 787 feet across undulating terrain.
Lucy Pringle describes the disorienting experience of walking through the massive pattern, where even finding the center proved nearly impossible. A professional New Jersey land surveyor estimates that using the most advanced GPS equipment, simply staking out the center points of all 409 circles would take far longer than the seven hours of darkness in which it appeared. A German surveyor, Andreas Mueller, confirms the formation showed no footprints in the rain-dampened soil and no distortion despite severe ground irregularities.
Professor John Gribbin from Great Britain discusses climate change, warning that a five-degree Celsius increase could exceed the temperature shift that ended the last ice age. He then turns to time travel, explaining that nothing in the laws of physics forbids it and describing how cosmic strings or wormholes could theoretically enable backward travel. He also addresses quantum computing and the possibility of parallel universes.
