2006-08-20 – Freddy Silva – The Meaning of Crop Circles

Show: Coast To Coast AM

Air Date: August 20, 2006

Guest(s): Freddy Silva

Topic(s): The Meaning of Crop Circles

Art opens the show from Manila, expressing how Coast to Coast AM is the largest and most intriguing program of its kind. He begins by discussing various news stories, including the arrival of John Mark Carr in the U.S., who is a suspect in the JonBenét Ramsey case, and how Carr was treated unusually well during his extradition. Art also covers Lebanon’s defense minister’s confidence in Hezbollah maintaining the ceasefire, a gruesome confession by a Missouri man who killed and dismembered seven people, and political commentary by Senator Joe Lieberman on the Iraq War. He continues by reporting on a standoff in Texas that ended with multiple officers shot and the gunman dead.

Art then shifts to lighter topics, mentioning more rain expected in Alaska, and a bit on gasoline prices reported by a well-known analyst, Shell Be Lundberg. He gives a nod to Denny’s for sponsoring the show and shares a personal note about being inducted into the Nevada Broadcasters Association Hall of Fame, reflecting on the honor with humor about his age.

Moving into science, Art discusses a rare occurrence on the sun—a “backwards” sunspot that might signal the beginning of a new solar cycle. This topic is particularly exciting for amateur radio operators and those interested in solar activity. The backward orientation of this sunspot could be a precursor to a significant solar cycle, which could have notable implications for radio communications and other solar-related phenomena.

Art continues by discussing the current calm state of the sun, noting that we are nearing the end of solar cycle 23, which peaked in 2001. The next cycle, 24, is anticipated to be exceptionally stormy, possibly the most intense in decades. This will bring about an increase in sunspots and solar flares, which could cause bright auroras on Earth and dangerous proton storms in space. The first sign of this new cycle may have been a fleeting “backwards” sunspot, which only lasted three hours. While its brief existence and unusual latitude raise suspicions, it could still mark the beginning of cycle 24, which might take 1 or 2 years to fully manifest before the solar storms begin in earnest.

Art then shifts to a discovery from Samsung, where researchers are exploring the idea of using the ionosphere as an antenna for long-distance communication, potentially eliminating the need for satellites. This concept involves using UHF signals to alter the ionosphere’s behavior, creating a global antenna, though the practical utility of this technology remains unclear.

The discussion takes a turn toward the mysterious as Art delves into the possibility of recreating extinct creatures like the Loch Ness Monster through DNA technology. He mentions that while Nessie might not be real, science could soon make it possible to bring back creatures that have been extinct for thousands of years, such as the woolly mammoth. He also touches on reports of the Chupacabra, a mythical creature said to suck blood from animals, which has allegedly appeared in Russian villages, leaving behind blood-drained livestock.

Art continues with a discussion on the genetic and psychological traits that might predispose individuals to criminal behavior, particularly killers. He mentions how this concept was explored in the film Minority Report and now appears to be becoming a reality, with the potential to predict and prevent crimes before they happen. Art highlights that about 5% of people commit 70% of crimes, and researchers are beginning to understand the genetic factors behind this.

Shifting to environmental concerns, Art touches on the effects of man-made global warming, specifically how it leads to higher ocean surface temperatures, resulting in stronger and more frequent hurricanes, as well as other natural disasters like forest fires, droughts, and floods. He notes that even if we cut greenhouse gas emissions now, the impact of global warming is expected to worsen over the next 200 years. Art questions whether the rising ocean temperatures are due to natural changes, greenhouse gases, or a combination of both, with scientists now leaning towards both.

Art then dives into a discussion on a gene that may have played a crucial role in the rapid evolution of the human brain from our chimp-like ancestors. This gene, which evolved about 70 times faster than the rest of our genetic code, appears to have contributed to the tripling of the size of the brain’s cerebral cortex. This discovery is being published in the journal Nature and could shed light on how human intelligence evolved.

In a lighter segment, Art shares a humorous story about a family dealing with a pet lizard, initially believed to be sick, only to discover that the lizard was giving birth. The family, confused by the situation, with the lizard’s supposed male name “Ernie,” ends up rushing to the vet, where the situation becomes even more comical.

Art humorously concludes the story about the lizard named Ernie, revealing that the lizard was not giving birth but rather experiencing a common behavior in male lizards. The story ends with the family returning home, with everyone, particularly Art’s wife, finding the situation hilariously ironic. Art then transitions to open lines, inviting listeners to share their experiences of consciously visiting other dimensions. He clarifies that he is not interested in dream-based experiences but rather in stories where individuals feel they have genuinely encountered another dimension.

A caller from the East of the Rockies initiates a discussion about the potential for modern technology, like video phones, to trigger significant cultural shifts, such as an “Islamic renaissance.” However, Art expresses skepticism, emphasizing the deep-rooted nature of radical beliefs and the ongoing conflict in areas like Mindanao in the Philippines. He notes that the West may have no choice but to continue fighting this ideological war, as changing the hearts and minds of those who are set on their beliefs seems nearly impossible.

The conversation on Art’s show takes a curious turn as a caller shares a story about performing an exorcism on a sick dog, which supposedly freed the animal from demonic possession. Art contemplates the possibility of animals being inhabited by evil forces, especially if one believes that animals have souls. Another caller introduces the topic of “shadow people,” entities that have been observed by some, often appearing in peripheral vision. Art admits that, despite frequent discussions on the show, the true nature of shadow people remains unknown—they could be spirits, souls, or even aliens operating on a different dimensional frequency.

A treasure hunter then calls in, claiming to have found a pirate ship off the Florida Keys filled with coins and possibly jewels. The conversation touches on the allure of pirate treasure and the dangers faced by pirates historically, with Art joking about receiving some of the treasure when it is found.

The next caller shares a ghost story involving a phantom cat that both he and his wife felt while staying at a motel. This leads Art to talk about his own experiences with a ghostly cat named Yeti, who often “kneads” his stomach in a comforting yet confusing ritual, even after the cat has passed on. Art finds this a common occurrence, believing that animals can indeed return in spirit form.

One caller describes an alien abduction experience that involved a probe being inserted into his nose. Art, who is skeptical of such encounters, particularly dislikes the idea of alien probes, expressing that it casts a negative light on the notion of aliens being benevolent or “warm fuzzy creatures.”

Another caller recounts a near-death experience after a car accident. He describes leaving his body and floating above the operating table, then ascending higher until he could see the Earth shrinking below him. During this out-of-body experience, he felt a sense of universal knowledge and encountered beautiful lights and music, which eventually led him to a field of multicolored flowers. The caller believes he spoke to God, who told him that his time had come but allowed him to return to life to share the message of the Second Coming.

Art acknowledges the significance of this experience, noting that it was shared on an international platform, possibly fulfilling the caller’s perceived mission to spread the word. Art then transitions to the next segment, introducing Freddy Silva, a guest who has devoted his life to studying crop circles. Freddy, who abandoned a successful career to pursue this mystery, is recognized as one of the world’s leading experts on crop circles, sacred spaces, and consciousness. Art highlights the importance of Freddy’s work, especially given the profound mystery surrounding crop circles and their potential significance.

Art introduces Freddy Silva, an expert on crop circles who gave up a successful career in commerce to pursue his fascination with these mysterious formations. Freddy explains that despite the financial challenges, the experiences, people he has met, and the profound significance of crop circles make it all worthwhile. His interest in crop circles began in 1990 when he saw an image of one on television, which had a profound impact on him, as if it awakened something deep within him. Freddy notes that many others have shared similar experiences, suggesting that these formations might be tapping into something fundamental in human consciousness.

When asked about the authenticity of crop circles, Freddy acknowledges the difficulty in determining which ones are genuine, meaning not man-made. He recalls Colin Andrews’ controversial 80/20 theory, which suggested that only a small percentage of crop circles were genuine. Freddy explains that based on his experience, before 1991, almost all crop circles were likely genuine. However, as the phenomenon gained popularity and became almost religious, authorities grew concerned, leading to the rise of hoaxes.

Freddy discusses how the phenomenon seemed to ebb and flow, with certain years, like 1997, being particularly strong in terms of genuine formations, while others, especially in the early 2000s, saw more hoaxes and less authentic activity. He mentions that the last truly major design in Britain was in 2003, and since then, there has been a decline in quality, with many formations showing signs of mechanical creation.

Freddy Silva continues discussing the complexities and mysteries of crop circles, particularly focusing on the debate over which ones are genuine and which are man-made. He clarifies that Colin Andrews’ statement that 80% of crop circles were man-made was often taken out of context. Andrews was referring to crop circles analyzed between 1999 and 2001, where 80% showed signs of mechanical flattening. However, the remaining 20%, representing a significant number, showed signs of being created by a natural phenomenon guided by some intelligent force.

Freddy goes on to describe how genuine crop circles exhibit cellular changes at the microscopic level in the plants and alterations in the soil’s crystalline structure. These changes would require extreme atmospheric pressure and heat, conditions that are difficult to replicate with ordinary means. While microwaves were initially considered a possible cause, Freddy suggests that ultrasound and infrasound are more likely responsible. These sound waves, particularly in the megahertz range, can manipulate plant chromosomes and create the charring effect seen in genuine crop circles without the damaging side effects of microwaves.

Art and Freddy discuss the implications of these frequencies, with Freddy explaining that the range of 250 megahertz is far above human hearing, even beyond the range of dogs, and can alter states of awareness. Infrasound, on the other hand, is below 20Hz and can cause water inside the plant stems to boil almost instantaneously, leading to the characteristic blowholes in the plant nodes where the water is expelled.

Freddy recounts an experience in 2002 when he found hundreds of snails boiled alive inside a crop circle, likely due to the extreme conditions created by the sound waves. He also mentions a rare fatality associated with a crop circle in the Canadian prairies, where a farmer reportedly discovered a scene that pointed to the powerful and potentially deadly effects of whatever forces are at play in these mysterious formations.

Freddy Silva continues exploring the mysteries surrounding crop circles, sharing a story about a farmer who found a mummified porcupine within a crop circle. The porcupine had been flattened and mummified, likely due to the intense acoustic pressure and heat involved in the formation of the crop circle, which expelled all the water from the creature’s body, accelerating the mummification process.

Art then shifts the conversation to the HAARP (High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) project in Alaska, which is known for heating the ionosphere and could theoretically modulate frequencies similar to those involved in crop circle formation. Freddy acknowledges the possibility but argues that it seems unlikely that a secret military project would leave such an obvious trail worldwide, given the thousands of crop circles reported across 29 countries. He leans towards a more non-mechanical, natural source for these formations.

Freddy explains that the majority of crop circles—about 85%—appear in southern England, particularly in areas corresponding to the ancient kingdom of Wessex, which is rich in chalk aquifers. Interestingly, the other significant concentration of crop circles occurs over the Canadian prairies, which have limestone aquifers, a chemical twin to chalk. These formations seem to favor regions with such geological features.

Freddy also shares fascinating insights from South Africa, where crop circles are part of local folklore and are seen as signs from the gods. When these formations appear, the local tribes celebrate with festivals and offerings, viewing the crop circles as sacred spaces. This contrasts sharply with how crop circles are often perceived in the West, where they can be met with fear or skepticism.

Freddy notes that crop circles might be more common globally than reported, as people often don’t know who to tell, or are too frightened by their ideological beliefs. He highlights the stark difference in reactions between places like Africa, where the phenomenon is welcomed and celebrated, and regions like Indiana in the U.S., where the first reaction might be to treat the site as a crime scene.

Freddy Silva continues his discussion about crop circles, highlighting that while some may see crop circles as a crime against farmers due to the perceived destruction of crops, genuine crop circles don’t actually damage the plants. He explains that in genuine formations, the plants often recover, bending back towards the light and even outgrowing the rest of the field. However, if the energy interacts with the plants at a later stage of development, when they are more mature and brittle, it can stop their growth.

Art then asks about the profound impact that some crop circles have on people, noting that many are moved deeply by these formations, particularly those that are large and complex. He acknowledges that while some crop circles are undoubtedly man-made, the question remains about who or what is responsible for the others.

Freddy delves into the mystery of who is creating these crop circles, mentioning his early work with Isabel Kingston, a renowned psychic in England. Kingston, who was highly regarded for her ability to assist police in solving crimes, channeled information from a universal consciousness known as “The Watchers.” These entities, referred to in ancient times as the “Creator Gods,” revealed to her that crop circles were a form of communication using geometric and light structures based on sound.

In the mid-1980s, long before crop circles became widely known, Kingston predicted the emergence of these phenomena in Britain, based on messages she received during her channeling sessions. The Watchers promised to provide a sign of their intent at the base of Silbury Hill, a man-made conical mound in southern England. Seven days later, a series of crop circles resembling a Celtic cross appeared at the exact location, confirming the accuracy of her channeling.

Freddy Silva delves deeper into the concept of the crop circles being created by a universal consciousness known as “The Watchers.” He explains that this consciousness is responding to a collective call for help from humanity, which, during the 20th century, recognized the deteriorating state of the world and subconsciously or consciously prayed for assistance. The Watchers, whose purpose is to guide humanity through critical stages of development, responded with these crop circle formations, which are encoded with sacred geometry.

Freddy explains that the symbols in the crop circles are not random; they are archetypal communications that resonate with ancient knowledge held by various indigenous tribes, such as the Navajo, Hopi, and Aborigines. These tribes could often decipher the symbols, recognizing them as part of their cultural and spiritual heritage. The crop circles’ designs are imbued with sacred geometry, which is also found in the crystalline structure of human DNA, suggesting that these symbols are speaking to us on a subconscious level, awakening parts of the human psyche that have been dormant for centuries.

Art asks whether it is necessary to visit a crop circle in person to receive these subconscious messages, or if viewing an image of one would suffice. Freddy confirms that even viewing an unaltered photograph of a crop circle can transmit the information, as long as the image has not been distorted. He suggests that this is why people often feel a profound connection or recognition when they see these images, even if they can’t logically explain the feeling.

Freddy Silva elaborates on how the symbols within crop circles communicate through archetypal messages, often recognized by indigenous cultures like the Hopi. He shares an example where a crop circle in England, with a particular design resembling an elliptical head with feathers, was interpreted by the Hopi as a message that “Mother Earth is crying”—a symbolic representation of the earth’s elements under stress, urging humanity to take better care of the planet.

Art and Freddy discuss the challenge of conveying these subtle, symbolic messages to the general public and the media. Freddy acknowledges the frustration that comes with the fact that these profound messages often go unnoticed or are not understood by many. The Watchers, the universal consciousness responsible for these crop circles, operate on a principle that respects human free will. They provide the opportunity for awakening, but it’s up to individuals to choose whether they want to engage with and act on these messages.

Freddy explains how he was convinced of the accuracy of the channeling by Isabel Kingston, who would often predict the exact locations and designs of crop circles days before they appeared. This information was kept within a very small, trusted group, ensuring that no one outside could influence the outcome, thus validating the authenticity of the channeling.

Art expresses concern about the subtlety of these messages and the difficulty in getting people to understand their significance. Freddy mentions that in 1987, it was predicted that by 2007, the technical knowledge encoded in the crop circles would begin to be revealed, and scientists would start to recognize the hidden information. He recounts how, in 1991, identical crop circles appeared in close proximity, which, upon closer examination, were found to have small numerical differences, further suggesting that these designs carry precise, coded information.

Freddy Silva shares some astonishing findings related to crop circles, particularly how certain designs have revealed hidden scientific knowledge. He recounts how mathematicians, after analyzing the discrepancies between two seemingly identical crop circles, discovered that the differences corresponded to the speed of light. This discovery, made in 1992, suggested that there are multiple speeds of light—an idea that was later confirmed by mainstream science, which recognized two speeds of light just a few years ago.

Freddy also discusses a specific crop circle design known as the Barbary Castle tetrahedron, which he claims contains instructions for an energy device that could potentially manipulate magnetism and gravity. He mentions a man in America who reportedly built a three-dimensional replica of the tetrahedron, which allegedly achieved levitation in his home. This revelation highlights the potential of crop circles to encode advanced technological information.

Art is both fascinated and incredulous, pressing Freddy for more details about the man who built the device. Freddy confirms the man’s success in achieving levitation but notes that the individual is keeping a low profile due to the potentially groundbreaking nature of his discovery. Freddy also mentions similar experiments being conducted in Australia, where researchers are working with antigravity devices based on crop circle designs.

Art raises the possibility of creating a man-made crop circle as a form of communication, attempting to establish a dialogue with whoever or whatever is sending these messages. Freddy agrees that this is an intriguing idea, especially given the complexity and depth of the information encoded in crop circles.

Art plugs Freddy’s book, Secrets in the Fields: The Science and Mysticism of Crop Circles, and notes that purchasing it directly from Freddy’s website would support the author more effectively. Freddy also mentions that the book comes with a special offer, including a DVD, when purchased from his site.

Freddy Silva recounts a fascinating experiment where a group of researchers attempted to communicate with the intelligence behind crop circles. This group, which included archaeologists, cryptographers, psychics, and field researchers, designed a crop circle based on pure mathematics and harmonics. They created a simple triangle with a circle in the center and three smaller circles on the outside. The group then meditated around the design, sending out their intent to communicate with the unknown force behind crop circles.

For a few weeks, nothing happened, but then a pilot spotted a new crop circle that appeared to be a direct response. The new formation had taken the original design and filled in the gap in the center, making it 100 times the size of the original. The researchers had used an ancient system of measurement called the “megalithic yard,” which was used by the builders of Stonehenge and the pyramids. The response crop circle also used this exact unit of measure, confirming beyond a doubt that it was a reply to their intent.

Returning to the topic of the Barbary Castle crop circle, Freddy discusses a man who allegedly built a machine based on its design that achieved levitation. However, this man became very secretive and frightened after initially being open to sharing his work. Freddy suspects that the man may have felt pressure from unknown sources, similar to stories of inventors who mysteriously disappear after creating groundbreaking technologies. While Freddy respects the man’s wish for privacy, he mentions that similar work is being conducted by others and hints that more information may eventually come to light.

Freddy Silva continues discussing the intriguing connection between crop circles and advanced technological concepts. He mentions the work of David Percy and David Myers, who have reconstructed technical information from crop circles, leading to blueprints for spinning disk technology that could enable anti-gravitational devices. Freddy highlights a fascinating account of an airline pilot, Doug Ruby, who discovered that spinning crop circle designs on a phonograph revealed a three-dimensional aspect to these formations that wasn’t apparent when viewing them as static images. This finding aligns with channeled information from Isabel Kingston, which suggested that crop circles are two-dimensional slices of a more complex, multi-dimensional energy form.

Freddy explains that researchers have been able to detect energy from crop circles both above and below the ground, indicating that these formations are more than just surface-level designs. He notes that Myers and Percy took this work further by mathematically analyzing the designs to extract technical data, and they are now seeking funding to build a machine with anti-gravitational properties based on this information.

Art Bell draws a parallel between this research and the plot of the movie Contact, remarking on the uncanny similarities. Freddy agrees, saying that both Contact and Close Encounters of the Third Kind closely mirror the experiences of crop circle researchers. He explains that the symbols in crop circles resonate differently with people depending on their backgrounds—biologists might see cellular structures, while others might recognize ancient hieroglyphs, and both interpretations would be correct.

Freddy reveals that even NASA is quietly interested in crop circles, with some of their technicians reaching out to him for more information, albeit under the radar. He compares this to the British government’s approach in the late 1980s and early 1990s, where they publicly debunked the phenomenon while the military continued to study it in secret.

Freddy Silva continues to discuss the concept of the “Watchers” and their role in delivering messages through crop circles. He compares their approach to the “Prime Directive” from Star Trek, where they cannot directly intervene in human affairs but can provide information that humans can choose to act on. This concept ties into the idea that the crop circles are encoded with geometric patterns that resonate with the human body’s chemical and spiritual makeup, awakening deeper awareness and spiritual understanding.

Art Bell then asks about potential correlations between mass consciousness research, like that conducted at Princeton, and the data contained in crop circles. Freddy suggests that the geometric codes in crop circles are designed to awaken humanity at a subconscious level, similar to how ancient sacred sites like Stonehenge and the pyramids were built using sacred geometry to influence human consciousness and health.

Freddy shares that when the Berlin Wall fell, the Russians accessed ancient esoteric wisdom and discovered that specific geometric shapes could enhance human awareness and even accelerate healing. He describes experiments where pentagon-shaped rooms were used to speed up the recovery of patients, and trapezoid-shaped rooms were used to help schizophrenic patients. These findings validated the effects of sacred geometry on the human body, a concept that has been understood and utilized in ancient sacred sites.

Art presses Freddy on whether these claims were scientifically validated, and Freddy confirms that double-blind studies were conducted to prove these effects, as documented in the book Psychic Discoveries Behind the Iron Curtain by Sheila Ostrander. The conversation continues to explore the implications of these findings and how they relate to the messages encoded in crop circles.

As the discussion returns to crop circles, Art notes that most crop circles form between 2 and 3 in the morning, and he plans to delve into the reasons behind this timing.

Freddy Silva shares more insights about the timing of crop circle formations, noting that they typically appear between 2 and 3 in the morning at the local time of their geographic location. He explains that this period is significant because it is when the Earth’s magnetic field is at its weakest, being farthest from the sun, which could create a “window of opportunity” for these phenomena to occur. This timing might also correlate with the fact that a high percentage of hospital deaths occur during this time, suggesting a connection between the magnetic field and life processes.

Freddy also discusses how crop circles are formed very quickly, often within 15 seconds, according to eyewitness accounts from around the world. He recounts a significant event in 1988 when a group of researchers conducted a stakeout in a field in southern England known for crop circle activity. While the British military attempted to discredit the phenomenon by creating a crude hoax circle, a Japanese camera crew captured a genuine crop circle forming in just 15 seconds using night vision equipment. However, the tape, which should have been groundbreaking evidence, was mysteriously lost by the BBC, drawing comparisons to other high-profile “lost” records, such as those related to the Kennedy assassination or the Apollo missions.

Art Bell inquires about which government agencies, aside from NASA, might be taking an interest in crop circles. Freddy mentions that it’s difficult to pinpoint because the information is often kept secret, but he references a researcher, George Wingfield, who had contacts within the British military confirming that they were indeed monitoring the phenomenon closely.

Freddy Silva discusses how the British government and MI5 were involved in disinformation campaigns, originally in the context of the Northern Ireland conflict, but later extending to crop circles. He mentions that the famous hoaxers Doug and Dave, who claimed to have created numerous crop circles, were likely part of a disinformation effort. One of them, now deceased, had admitted in a retraction that he was “guided by an unknown force,” which complicates the narrative of them being mere pranksters.

Freddy also confirms that some crop circles in the UK during the summer of that year were likely hoaxes, particularly those created with the permission of farmers, allowing hoaxers ample time and legal immunity to create intricate designs. He mentions that some of these complex designs, particularly those with Mayan motifs, were traced to groups moving from northern to southern England, where they were eventually caught in the act.

Freddy explains that while many crop circles are indeed hoaxes, the genuine phenomenon is still active, though it may ebb and flow like natural tides. He notes that while human-made designs are becoming more complex, the authentic crop circles have become simpler, possibly as a response to the increasing sophistication of hoaxes. Freddy expects that the following year might bring a new level of complexity in genuine crop circles, as the phenomenon continues to evolve.

Freddy Silva elaborates on the cyclical nature of crop circle appearances, explaining that they follow natural waves, much like other phenomena in nature. He attributes the recent decline in genuine crop circles to a major drought in Britain that year, which he predicted would limit the number of formations because water is a crucial element in their creation. Additionally, he suggests that there’s already an abundance of information from previous crop circles that needs to be deciphered, so adding more at this point might only overwhelm researchers.

Despite the decline, Freddy notes that the phenomenon is still active in other parts of the world, including America, Australia, and Hungary. He compares the creation of crop circles to the construction of Gothic cathedrals or Stonehenge, emphasizing that both involve complex technologies and should be appreciated for their beauty and significance.

Freddy addresses the question of how these intricate crop circles are made, especially the large ones that seem impossible to create in the dark of night. He acknowledges that while some of the complex circles are genuine, many are hoaxes created by well-practiced groups of people. These groups often work with the permission of farmers, allowing them to take their time and create intricate designs over a day or two. However, he points out that these man-made circles lack the electromagnetic anomalies and other unique characteristics of genuine crop circles. Additionally, signs of mechanical flattening and traces of the construction process can often be found in these hoaxes.

Freddy then shares his personal experience with the energy of genuine crop circles, describing how the frequencies in these formations interact with the water molecules in the body. He explains that after years of exposure, he has become sensitive to the energy in these circles, sometimes feeling uncomfortable if he stays in them for too long.

Art asks Freddy about a life-changing experience he had in a crop circle. Freddy describes how, in 1997, he was drawn to the idea that crop circles were connected to sound and decided to visit the fields in England to validate this theory. This visit ultimately led to a profound spiritual experience that changed his life and his beliefs.

Freddy Silva continues his story about a profound experience he had in a crop circle in 1997. He describes how he felt compelled to lie down in a crop circle at night, with music playing, to give thanks to the source of the information he had been receiving. As he lay there, he was suddenly engulfed by a bright light that made him feel both frightened and curious. He recalls feeling something hit him on the shoulder, though it caused no pain, and then experiencing the sensation of levitating, as he saw his arms and hands float past him.

During this experience, Freddy saw three very tall beings standing near him—two at his feet and one gesturing with its hands. He describes the overwhelming feeling of unconditional love and peace that he felt in their presence, unlike anything he had experienced before. Suddenly, he was jolted back to reality with a thud, realizing that 45 minutes had passed while the cassette tape he had been playing had finished and clicked off.

The next morning, Freddy shared his experience with a colleague who was also a psychic. She spontaneously channeled information, telling him that he would write a book, something Freddy had not planned or desired. Yet, a year later, the book came to him quickly, almost as if it had been dictated, with five chapters written in one week—a pace unheard of in his previous writing experience.

Freddy concludes by reflecting on the experience, saying it made him realize that there is another layer of reality that is very benevolent and close to us, always offering help if we seek it. This experience profoundly changed his understanding of reality and spirituality.

A caller asks about the significance of the Barbary Castle crop circle from 1991 and a related formation that appeared later, suggesting that these formations might have connections to the concept of “666” and a demonic influence. Freddy Silva clarifies that “666” is traditionally associated with the sun and the angles of a hexagon, a sacred geometric shape, rather than with the devil. He emphasizes that the idea of the devil is a human invention, often used historically to control people through fear, particularly by the Roman Catholic Church during dark times in Europe. Freddy also notes that truly dark or malevolent entities typically do not create beauty, and crop circles are often beautiful works of art, indicating a positive origin rather than something sinister.

Another caller asks about a crop formation photographed by Lucy Pringle in 2002 that depicted what appeared to be an alien holding a disc, reminiscent of a DVD or data disc. Freddy confirms that he was in that formation and had investigated it. He shares that the farmer who owned the field, as well as local residents, reported seeing people creating the design over several days, using lights late at night to work on the formation. Freddy found evidence of mechanical flattening and strategically placed holes, indicating that the formation was likely a human-made hoax rather than a genuine crop circle. He also mentions that the design did not resemble other symbolic crop circles and was more reminiscent of a “Star Trek” character, further supporting the idea that it was not an authentic formation.

Freddy Silva responds to a caller’s question about the authenticity of a crop circle formation resembling a “Star Trek” character, stating that he is 90% convinced it was a hoax. He explains that the technique used to create the image is common in the printing industry and was likely executed by a well-known team that has created crop circles for money over the years.

Another question from a caller relates to the use of DMT, a hallucinogenic drug, in crop circles. Freddy admits he’s not familiar with DMT but prefers to stay lucid in crop circles, as the frequencies within genuine formations already affect logical thinking by shutting down the analytical side of the brain and enhancing the intuitive side. He emphasizes that the experience inside a genuine crop circle is already profound without the need for drugs.

A subsequent caller asks about the music Freddy listened to during his crop circle experience. Freddy clarifies that it wasn’t Pink Floyd, as one might guess given the association with certain psychedelic experiences, but rather music by John Serrie, known for creating beautiful astral soundscapes. Freddy felt this music matched the aura of the crop circle he was in.

The conversation then shifts to the relationship between music, mathematics, and crop circles. Art Bell and the caller discuss how music, particularly certain types like that of Pink Floyd, resonates with the sacred geometry found in crop circles and places like Glastonbury Abbey. Freddy agrees, noting that creative work often involves accessing an “astral reference library,” where ideas come from. He suggests that the same universal principles found in ancient sites like Stonehenge are also present in crop circles, linking music, geometry, and crop circle formations in a continuous, interconnected cycle.

Freddy Silva answers a question about the tools used to create crop circles, explaining that despite advancements in technology, the methods remain relatively simple. Hoaxers often use planks of wood, garden rollers, or even lawnmowers to flatten the crops. The garden roller, which is filled with water, is particularly effective in creating neater designs than planks of wood, but the evidence of mechanical flattening is still apparent.

Another caller asks about a small silver disc seen in the background of the space shuttle disintegration footage, speculating whether it might be related to the “Watchers” that Freddy had mentioned earlier. Freddy confirms that similar small silver orbs, often the size of a beach ball, have been reported and even filmed interacting with people in crop fields. He shares his personal experience of seeing these orbs, describing them as incredibly radiant and capable of reacting to human thoughts, which he found to be a profoundly beautiful and emotional experience.

Art Bell then highlights the relevance of these orbs to the discussion of crop circles, noting their mysterious and interactive nature.

Another listener from Houston, Texas, who was accidentally disconnected, asks if crop circles might be a way to bypass government suppression of information. Freddy agrees, suggesting that crop circles are not only bypassing governmental control but also challenging 2,000 years of religious indoctrination, particularly from the Roman Catholic Church. He explains that crop circles are part of a broader movement to reawaken ancient knowledge and help humanity regain the power it has ceded over the past 4,000 years. Freddy believes we are nearing the end of this long experiment in human consciousness, with crop circles playing a role in raising awareness and helping humanity evolve beyond the control of the few.

Freddy Silva shares insights on the history and characteristics of crop circles. He mentions that the earliest recorded evidence of crop circles dates back to 1682 in Staffordshire, England, where circles within squares were found in tall pasture. This account was documented by the director of the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, providing a credible historical reference. Freddy also notes that similar phenomena were mentioned in the writings of John Wayland, Henry VIII’s chronicler, who described geometric patterns in grass that inspired Morris dancing.

In response to a question about the perfection of genuine crop circles, Freddy explains that real crop circles are never perfect circles; they are slightly elliptical with off-center points, which poses a challenge for hoaxers who typically strive for perfect symmetry. He highlights that what might appear as a mistake in a crop circle, such as a bent line, often has a deeper significance, such as indicating a strategic angle of energy upwelling.

Another caller asks about a South African tribe that has known about these formations for thousands of years and whether they have methods to translate the messages in crop circles. Freddy refers to the work of historian Credo Mutwa, who chronicled the myths and legends of South African tribes. According to Mutwa, the designs are symbolic and convey archetypal information meant to be internalized for spiritual evolution rather than logically analyzed.

Finally, Freddy addresses why crop circles often appear in live vegetation, suggesting that it might be because they are time-sensitive and fade as the crops die. He adds that crop circles also occur in other mediums, such as ice, snow, and even desert floors, as evidenced by a major crop circle etched into the Alvord Desert in Oregon. The use of wheat and barley, which symbolize the fertile Earth Mother, may also carry symbolic significance, and the energy imprinted into the seeds from these formations may influence the food chain.

Freddy Silva discusses various phenomena related to crop circles and their occurrences in different mediums, such as ice and snow. He mentions a particular instance in 1997 in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, where a crop circle appeared in the snow. The snow within the circle was slightly compressed, and electromagnetic frequency readings showed an increase around the affected area, suggesting an electromagnetic phenomenon related to crop circles.

A caller then brings up Edward Leedskalnin and Coral Castle in Florida, asking whether crop circles might appear in areas with strong magnetic fields. Freddy confirms that genuine crop circles always appear at the crossroads of magnetic lines of energy, the same lines that are associated with sacred sites like the pyramids, Stonehenge, and other ancient monuments. He explains that the diameter of a crop circle is often defined by the width of the magnetic energy at that location. Inside genuine crop circles, the Earth’s magnetic field is typically shifted by about four degrees, a phenomenon first observed by Colin Andrews.

Another caller inquires about Freddy’s out-of-body experience in a crop circle and whether it might be connected to the phenomenon. Freddy explains that his experience and the observations made by others around the crop circle have led him to believe that these occurrences are linked to the manipulation of local magnetic fields, sound, and light.

Freddy also addresses the reluctance of witnesses to go public with their observations, noting that many locals prefer to remain anonymous to avoid unwanted attention and disruption to their privacy. This preference for privacy is common among those living near crop circle sites, especially in England, where people are typically more private.

Freddy Silva explains that crop circles are predominantly concentrated in England due to several factors, primarily related to geography and geology. The presence of water in the ground is crucial, as the designs seem to imprint information into the water, as proven by researchers like Jack Bennett in France. Additionally, the high concentration of ancient sacred sites in England plays a significant role. Crop circles often appear near these sites, as if to remind us of the connections that need to be reestablished with our ancient history and the natural principles that these sacred sites represent. These sites were historically places of healing and altered states of awareness, such as Stonehenge, and the crop circles may be urging us to reconnect with these fundamental aspects of our past to restore balance in life.

A caller asks if crop circles could be pointing humanity towards something essential, such as alternative energy. Freddy agrees, mentioning that Isabel’s channeling suggested that by 2007, people would begin unraveling the technical information in crop circles to develop energy devices related to the manipulation of gravity, magnetism, and the illusion of time. This potential for alternative energy seems to be part of the message that the crop circles are trying to convey.

Art Bell wraps up the program by expressing his appreciation for Freddy Silva’s insights, noting that it was a fascinating and enlightening discussion. He encourages listeners to visit Freddy’s website, cropcirclessecrets.org, where they can purchase his book and DVD for further information.
