Product Description
Linda Moulton Howe shares and analyzes her research findings surrounding accounts of crop circles, accompanied by lights and crackling sounds over the past 2 years. Linda interviews a biophysicist, a mathematician, a geologist, and other researchers to determine the authenticity of these accounts and whether these crop circles are a 3-dimensional language related to fractional math, geometrics, the Hebrew Kabala, or other symbolic mysteries, and what they could mean.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mysterious Lights and Crop Circles, January 22, 2001

By A Customer

Mysterious Lights and Crop Circles by Linda Moulton Howe has it all. If you still believe that two little old Englishmen are responsible for the crop circles all over the world, or you are a seasoned "croppie", this book will give you much to feast upon. I challenge any producer of mainstream television programs such as 20/20, 60 Minutes or news programs, to read this, and not want to investigate the phenomena of the crop circles and the mysterious lights often associated with them more fully. Ms. Howe has surveyed the "cream of the crop" for this book; people who have credibility and experience in various fields of scientific inquiry. Having read most of what is out there on the topic as well as most magazines that in the past have devoted themselves to the crop circle mystery, I can say without hesitation that if you have even the slightest interest in crop circles, this is the book for you to read!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great information., December 29, 2001

By	L. Shoff (Salem, Oregon USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a very informative book on the crop circle phenomenon. I have not read any others so I have none to compare it to. However, the information and analysis presented in the book was enough to give me some ideas as to their origin, and recognize some commonality between the different types of circles.

It is liberally sprinkled with good illustrations and photographs(Albeit, some of them black and white...).

If you want to learn about crop circles and want a good balanced look at the phenomenon, this is a good starting place.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Good Overview of the Anomalies Surrounding Crop Circles, May 27, 2002

By	Simeon Hein "Planetary Intelligence author" (www.OpeningMinds.info, Boulder, CO, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is one of the best books around for introducing readers to the weird anomalies associated with crop formations. As a veteran circle-researcher, Linda Moulton Howe is well qualified to discuss the variety of nonordinary phenomena that have long been experienced in and around crop circles. While we don't yet understand what causes these anomalies, Howe's book goes a long way in showing us that they are real events that are repeatedly experienced by crop circle researchers. Science has yet to explain these encounters.
In my view, Howe could have written more about the human element in the creation of crop circles and the anomalies they exhibit. And what is the relationship between the balls of light and human beings? Are these objects intelligently guided or are they just spurious electrical discharges? We don't have the answers for questions but this book establishes that these questions deserve serious investigation.
