| RECENT ACTIVITY AND HIGHLIGHTS
CROP FORMATION REPORTED FROM WILBUR, WASHINGTON STATE
On Sunday, July 1st, 2007, NUFORC received a telephone call from a resident of Lincoln County, apprising us that on Friday, June 29, 2007, he had learned of the existence of a peculiar crop formation, located near the town of Wilbur, Washington.
We quickly made some telephone calls, confirmed that the formation had been witnessed by others, and, thanks to MR. GREG LEYVA, spray pilot and manager of the Wilbur Airport, Peter Davenport was in the air at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, July 1st, to inspect and photograph the formation from the air. My co-investigator was MR. MICHAEL HEIT, a friend and fellow resident of Harrington, Washington, where NUFORC is based.
The formation was first reported, we believe, by a gentleman who works for a local agricultural chemicals company in Wilbur. Word spread very quickly, and the formation apparently had been visited by an indeterminate number of people. At least two separate footpaths led into the formation by the time we arrived there.
The formation is approximately 150 feet in width and length. The stalks of grain are laid down flat against the ground, oriented in counter-clockwise (looking down) swirls in the central ring, and in the eight outlying circles.
We have received an unconfirmed report that a resident of the area was witness to a bright flash of light on Thursday night in the general area of the formation. Also, we have been apprised that another resident of the area succeeded in photographing with his cell phone camera a peculiar object that he allegedly witnessed hovering near him. We are actively pursuing more information about both of these unconfirmed reports.
In the meantime, we post a number of photographs of the formation here.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:
We would like to express our gratitude to the individual who first called our Center, to apprise us of the formation.
In addition, we would like to thank the owner of the property on which the formation occurred for his permission to enter the property to inspect and measure the formation.
In particular, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to Mr. Greg Leyva, an aerial applicator in Wilbur, Washington, and Manager of the Wilbur Airport, for his generous willingness to fly the investigators, Peter Davenport and Michael Heit, to, and over, the formation. His contribution was invaluable to our being able to locate the formation, and for being able to obtain high-quality aerial photos of the area.
