6. Sample plants with apical node elongation and extreme
bending, in wheat from a Maryland, USA crop formation.by putra santoso

7. • Apical nodes in control plants from the same field, taken a
distance away from the crop formation.by putra santoso

8. Four plants on left (from an Italian crop circle) show
apical node elongation & slight bending. Two
apical nodes on right are from controls.by putra santoso

9. NODE BENDING, which may (depending on the age of the
crop when formation occurred & time elapsed since then)
or may not be indicative of the genuine phenomenon.by putra santoso

10. Marked bending at the base of conola/oilseed rape plants -- which
are known to break, not bend, when mechanically flattened.

11. Expulsion cavity typical of those often found in crop circle
samples, but very rarely seen in control plants examined
by W.C. Levengood. However, the data indicates this
abnormality is not present in all "genuine" formations.by putra santoso

12. Expulsion cavity in corn (maize). Thought to result from
intense, very brief bursts of microwaves which
instantly turn the moisture inside the
plant stem nodes to steam.by putra santoso

13. Expulsion cavities in older, mature plants can also look like this example, in mature wheat.by putra santoso

14. Expulsion cavities in older, mature barley plants.by putra santoso

15. SEED-HEADS, WHEAT
Crop circle seed-head (right) has no seeds, due to destruction of plant's reproductive capacity. Found only when
crop circles occur in very immature plants.

16. STUNTED & DEHYDRATED
MAIZE SEEDS (on right).
These occur when embryos are already formed, or partially formed,
when crop circle occurs.

17. CONTROL MAIZE SEEDLINGS AT 7 DAYS
FORMATION MAIZE SEEDLINGS AT 7 DAYS
Showing reduced seedling growth-rate, which typically occurs if crop circles form in plants which are at an intermediate growth-stage.

FORMATION MAIZE SEEDLINGS AT 7 DAYS

19. CONTROL SEEDLINGS, 12-DAY WHEAT
Showing normal variation of growth-rate (height)
for this particular species at this stage of development.

20. FORMATION SEEDLINGS, 12-DAY WHEAT
Showing induced synchronization of growth.by putra santoso

21. INCREASED GROWTH-RATE OF FORMATION SEEDLINGS
(as opposed to controls), in seeds from crop which
was mature when crop circle formed.
