³TWO MEN SAY THEY ARE BEHIND MYSTERIOUS "CORN CIRCLES" IN    ³

³BRITAIN NOT ALIENS                                          ³

³                                                            ³

³LONDON (SEPT. 9) UPI - The baffling appearance of dozens of ³

³circles and other shapes in British grain fields may have   ³

³been solved Monday when two men said they, not              ³

³extraterrestial beings or freak meteorological forces,      ³

³created the patterns.                                       ³

³                                                            ³

³The declaration of the hoax, itself still unsubstantiated,  ³

³has brought forth yet another theory to be considered by    ³

³scientists and enthusiasts who have been studying the       ³

³mysterious phenomenon for more than a decade.               ³

³                                                            ³

³The shapes, known locally as ''corn circles,'' have appeared³

³overnight in fields, usually in southern England, without   ³

³any obvious sign of human handiwork. They have been         ³

³attributed variously to aliens, mating hedgehogs and        ³

³swirling masses of electrically charged air.                ³

³                                                            ³

³Doug Bower and David Chorley told the newspaper Today that  ³

³they used two wooden boards, a rope and a primitive aligning³

³device attached to a baseball cap to lay out the huge       ³

³patterns. They said they eluded detection by walking in     ³

³tractor paths to enter and leave the fields.                ³

³                                                            ³

³''How on earth can intelligent people of that sort -        ³

³professors etc. - just walk into a corn (wheat) field and   ³

³see some flattened corn and make all this out it over the   ³

³years?'' Bower told Independent Television News. ''We're as ³

³astounded as anyone else.''                                 ³

³                                                            ³

³Some scientists who have studied the mystery remain         ³

³sceptical of the Bower and Chorley's claims.                ³

³                                                            ³

³''I'm waiting for some hard evidence. I want to see them do ³

³what they claim they have done in front of me and television³

³cameras for all the world to see '' said Patrick Delgado, a ³

³retired NASA radar expert who has spent a great deal of time³

³studying the phenomenon.                                    ³

³                                                            ³

³Bower and Chorley derided the complex theories that have    ³

³grown up around the corn circles, which also have been      ³

³spotted in continental Europe and elsewhere.                ³

³                                                            ³

³''We used to laugh, we used to talk to each other when we're³

³doing this, that all it is is flattened corn. If you walk   ³

³in, you flatten it.  The only difference was the shapes,''  ³

³Chorley said.                                               ³

³                                                            ³

³Bower added, ''We love the shapes because of their artistic ³

³value. It's just become a big laugh as the years go by.''   ³

³                                                            ³

³The two men's hoax claim was made as 300 international      ³

³circle- watchers gathered in Glastonbury for the first      ³

³United Kingdom Cornconference.                              ³

³                                                            ³

³At the conference Sunday night, Delgado acknowledged that he³

³may have been fooled by a hoax.                             ³

³                                                            ³

³''I was taken for a ride like many other people,'' the      ³

³retired scientist said.  ''But if it wasn't me who was      ³

³duped, it would have been someone else later on.  This was  ³

³obviously a great joke, lasting years, but somewhere or     ³

³other it would have been exposed.''                         ³

³                                                            ³

³Delgado and the other conference delegates planned to       ³

³discuss the hoax claim and observe a demonstration of the   ³

³two men's technique.                                        ³

WHAT THE WATCH TOWER BIBLE AND TRACT SOCIETY OF PENNSYLVANIA HAD TO SAY ABOUT WHAT WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE HAPPENED in 1874

  AWAKEN                                                     Issue #33   1874 - WHAT THE WATCH TOWER BIBLE AND TRACT SOCIETY OF PENNSYLVANIA        HAD TO SAY ABOUT WHAT WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE HAPPENED THEN.   This issue will comprise mainly of quotes from Watch Tower publications. Present day Jehovah's Witnesses are unlikely to be aware of any of this material. Why ? The Watch Tower had changed it's theology and does not bother to let it's followers know facts about the past especially since the present theology is totally contradictory to what was promoted in the past. Both sets of incompatible conjectures were promoted as being found  and proven in Scriptures. Prior to 1943 if a follower of the Watch Tower questioned any of the Watch Tower's teaching about 1874, that person risked getting kicked out of the group ...
