The Crop Circle Research Archive is home to one of the world’s largest databases of crop circle-related information.

Scientific Endeavours

Over the years, an incredible amount of research has been undertaken into how crop circles form; where they appear; what tell-tale signs they leave behind. Much of this research is now long-forgotten but the results still exist, often buried in boxes and files, not having seen the light of day for several decades.

Over the coming months, these scientific endeavours will be unearthed, scanned, uploaded and become accessible from this page. The studies undertaken cover:

  • The Data Emerges: 1991 research project by Michael Chorost, Director of North American Circle supported by a grant from the Fund for UFO Research
  • Project Argus: 1992 research project jointly run by CCCS and the United States research group North American Circle.
  • Project Relate: 1993 Research into Electromagnetic and Other Terrestrial Effects following on from Project Argus the previous year
  • Agricultural Development Advisory Service (ADAS)
  • Anomalous Photographs
  • Anomalous Sounds
  • BLT Research
  • Balls of Light
  • Communication (SCR)
  • Dowsing
  • Electrostatic Voltmeter
  • Eye Witness Accounts
  • Geology and Aquifers
  • Gerald Hawkins Research
  • Historical Formations
  • Kirlian Photography
  • Magnetic Particles
  • Magnetometer
  • Operation Blackbird
  • Paul Vigay’s Gizmo
  • Plant Anomalies
  • Potentiometer
  • Project Chameleon
  • Pyscho Physical Changes
  • Stopwatches
  • Unexposed Film in Cannisters
  • Water Samples (homeopathy)

There appears to be a correlation between crop circle distribution and geology. Water-bearing aquifers seem to attract or generate a majority of formations as further charts and maps like this one will show in due course as the archive is developed.
