Description: Art Bell interviews Dr. Eltjo Haselhoff, a Dutch theoretical physicist and former Los Alamos National Laboratories researcher, about his scientific investigation of crop circles. Haselhoff describes his first encounter with the phenomenon in 1988, noting the undisturbed soil beneath flattened crops and the absence of footprints, observations that drew him into over 13 years of research.Haselhoff confirms the findings of American biophysicist Dr. Levengood, particularly the node-lengthening effect in affected plants, which can be replicated using microwave radiation. He presents his peer-reviewed research demonstrating that eyewitness accounts of luminous spheres creating crop formations align with measurable heat signatures found in the crops. One Dutch formation he analyzed contained hidden geometric relationships involving triangles, squares, pentagons, and hexagons, with a probability of occurring by chance calculated at one in 46 million.When pressed on explanations, Haselhoff acknowledges that conventional physics cannot account for the self-sustaining plasma balls observed near formations. He distinguishes between four types of crop circles and concedes that while some are man-made, the biophysical anomalies and mathematical complexity found in many formations remain genuinely unexplained by mainstream science.
