on August 23, 2001 MATTHEW Williams, a self-confessed crop circle maker and the first man ever to be prosecuted for doing so, was barred from Prof Glickman's talk last week. The 29-year-old video editor turned up at Devizes Town Hall but was warned by one of the organisers that the police would be called if he ventured upstairs and tried to get into the meeting. He said: "I didn't think there was any point in causing a scene so I left." But other crop circle makers were in the audience and relayed the gist of Prof Glickman's speech to Mr Williams. He was dismissive of Prof Glickman's assertions that his research revealed that no more than four per cent or six circles a year, a man-made 'hoaxes' but he was absolutely staggered by Prof Glickman openly announcing that extra-terrestrial powers were behind the creation of crop circles. Mr Williams said: "Don't get me wrong. I believe in UFOs and aliens too, I just don't believe they make the crop circles. But this is a first. Glickman has never mentioned extra-terrestrials before." There is no love lost between crop circle makers, like Mr Williams, and crop circle investigators, like Prof Glickman, and the arguments between the two factions become vitriolic. When both men were interviewed by BBC Wiltshire Sound recently, Prof Glickman refused to sit in the same studio as Mr Williams claiming the man had gate crashed his interview. Mr Williams on the other hand, insists he was invited by Wiltshire Sound and had every right to be there. But Mr Williams has a 'cunning plan' to disprove the crop circle investigators assertion that they can tell a hoax circle at first sight. He and his circle-making colleagues have posted designs on their Internet site Total Human Solution but in encrypted form, so that they will be able to show, after the crop circle season is over in the autumn, which formations, claimed as genuine by the investigators, were all their own work. They will have to go a long way, however, to convince Prof Glickman. In his lecture he condemned them for muddying the waters of honest research. He said: "If hoaxers were shown two doors, one of which said this way to finding the truth and the other which said let's fool somebody, they would choose door two every time." Back to 2001 index |
