Another question that I've been asked a lot has to do with the Elions, who I talk about in Letter from Tomorrow quite a bit. I mention that they are a highly advanced race which is responsible for a lot of things around the galaxy; the one that is most visible to us is probably the creation of crop circles.I know that all of you have heard about "the great crop circle hoax" and the people who have come out claiming to have created the crop circles by pushing crops down with boards at night. They got a lot of free press coverage (that must have been their fifteen minutes, Mr. Warhol) but their claims were quickly debunked. The size and complexity of most crop circles is far beyond anything the would-be hoaxers could create for the press, and they were immediately identified as fake by anyone who took a closer look.
In the faked crop circles the crops were broken and bent, crushed to the ground by the board. But in a genuine crop circle, the crops not only aren't broken or crushed, they're actually woven into the overall pattern of the circle as they are bent to the ground without being broken or crushed. Next time one appears, go check it out and you'll see what I mean.
The one that appeared in Loveland (seven miles from my home) one week before Letter from Tomorrow was published was unusual in that the crops had actually been entirely removed from a semi-circle of a farm south of highway 34 west of I-25. What was interesting, as the local paper, the Reporter Herald reported, was that there were not tire tracks or footprints in or around the circle. If people are creating these as as hoaxes, they not only have the ability to move incredibly quickly, they must also have some pretty amazing techniques--well beyond simply stomping on the crops with a board.
