PREVIOUS FORMATION REPORTS - 1998, 1976 AND 1941
Some previously unknown or unreported formations have
been added to the
archives on the web site, from 1998, 1976 and even
1941, after confirmation
from farmers / witnesses. In brief:
Barrhead, Alberta - Early July, 1998
Circle with five 'wings' or 'spokes' attached in
barley, approximately 8.1
metres (27 feet) diameter. Soil had 'carbon-like'
smell. Bright light
reported over area at about 3:00 am the same night by
neighbour. Still
visible in the field in 2002, subsequent crops planted
in the area since
the formation's initial appearance would not grow.
Sylvan Lake, Alberta - Late July or Early August,1976
Circle in wheat or barley, approximately 2.4 metres (8
feet) - 3.6 metres
(12 feet) diameter. Flat, swirled lay. Near edge of
field which bordered a
camp property.
Landis, Saskatchewan - Late September, 1941
Two circles close together in slew hay / grass,
approximately 6 - 7.6
metres (20 - 25 feet) diameter each. Flat lay. No
footprints or tracks seen
in surrounding 3 foot tall crop. Discovered while duck
hunting.
The Landis circles are the oldest known formation on
record so far for Canada.
Also, the survey diagrams for the Georgetown and
Limehouse, Ontario
formations of 2002 have been updated on the web site.
