Description: Art Bell welcomes crop circle researcher Freddy Silva, who abandoned a lucrative career to pursue a lifelong study of this global phenomenon. Silva explains that genuine circles exhibit cellular changes in plants and soil alterations requiring extreme temperatures and atmospheric pressure, effects he attributes to ultrasound and infrasound rather than microwave energy. He notes that about 85 percent of formations appear in southern England over the world's deepest chalk aquifer, with similar concentrations over limestone in the Canadian prairies.Silva describes how a British psychic named Isabel Kingston began channeling information from a universal consciousness called the Watchers in the mid-1980s, accurately predicting the locations and designs of formations days before they appeared. He argues the circles carry archetypal messages encoded with sacred geometry that resonates with human DNA, functioning as a subconscious wake-up call from beings responding to humanity's collective plea for help.The discussion takes a startling turn when Silva reveals that an American researcher built a replica of the famous Barbary Castle tetrahedron crop circle and reportedly achieved levitation. Silva believes the designs contain blueprints for energy devices capable of manipulating magnetism and gravity, knowledge he expects scientists to publicly confirm by 2007.
