"According to our [phychic] colleague a large number of this year's crop circles will contain energy levels which will be disruptive to anyone who enters them. This will be neccessary, according to the Circlemakers, to shatter certain energies on Earth and within certain individuals. You should be able to detect a sharp pain in the cranial area, especially behind the eyes... Our colleague further describes this year's patterns as being spiky or sword-like in nature, some even resembling shards of glass."

"If human pranksters made the formation... they would have to average one circle every 2 minutes and 20 seconds - to say nothing of laying out the whole design and executing it flawlessly.
