I found this gem in my local paper 'The Basingstoke Gazette'. It
included a photo of Douglas Bower with his hoaxing contraption.
I have copied it word for word, it reads :
---------------------------------------------------------------
Page 30 The Gazeete - Friday December 6, 1991
'A show of Corn for a Landscape Artist who Fooled the World'
'IT'S A FULL CIRCLE FOR THE HOAXER'S ART!'
'The man who confessed to fooling millions of people with
hundreds of corn circles is making his mark in Hartley Witney.
But its not another hoax. This time Douglas Bower is exhibiting
his paintings of the circles and the tools he said he used to make
them.
Douglas, 67, and his friend David Chorley announced this year that
they had created over the past 13 years the circles which have mystified
top scientists and the military.
Until now he hadn't dared show the circle pictures in case the link
was made with him.
Douglas started the hoax in an attempt to fool the UFO societies.
It was 'just a laugh', he said.
A contraption made with a stick and rein were used to create the
circles, he said.
Sceptics have queried how the straight lines were made in darkness.
Douglas said: ' You look through the loop on the hat, train your
eye on a fixed point, walk towards it and you get the straightest
line you could ever wish for.'
He believes that all the circles that have been found worldwide are
man-made.
Douglas is well known for his watercolours of Hampshire landscapes.
The exhibition at Century Galleries, High Street, Hartley Witney,
runs until next Thursday.'
