dear friends,
interesting news from nancy talbott.
love and light.

after constant delays (mostly due to financial constraints) the x-ray
diffraction study of clay minerals in crop circle soils, which was begun in 1999
and completed in late 2001, is now available on the blt research team inc.'s
web-site at: http://www.bltresearch.com/xrd.html blt is most grateful to mr.
and mrs. lyman d. rogers of newtown, connecticut, whose financial support made
this possible, and to web-site personnel kim mcdonald gazecki, william
bombardier, and abby lewis who did the actual work of transferring the study to
the web.
this study, funded by laurance rockefeller, examined specific clay minerals
(those which are called "expandable" clays and which are most sensitive to heat)
in crop circle soils, in an attempt to gather further data which might inform us
regarding the hypothesized presence of microwave radiation at crop circle sites.
multiple scientists were involved (see "study personnel"), most of whom were
totally unacquainted with the crop circle phenomenon at the time they carried
out their individual work on the project. these scientists were carefully
chosen, not only for their specific expertise, but because they were unaware of
the phenomenon, thus ruling out any potential assertions by skeptics of
"experimenter bias."
the results are startling. specific clay minerals (illite/smectites) are shown
to exhibit a subtle, but statistically significant, increase in degree of
crystallization....a change heretofore seen only in sedimentary rock, which has
been exposed to the massive pressure (called "geologic" pressure) of tons of
overlying rock and to heat from the earth's core over hundreds, or thousands of
years. to our knowledge this increase in degree of crystallization has never
been reported previously in surface soils (as is the case here).
if "geologic" pressure had been present, obviously the plants would have been
obliterated. and, of course, they were not. further, if the intense heat
required (a minimum of 6-800 degrees c, over a period of many hours) to produce
the crystalline change (in the absence of such geologic pressure) had been
present, the plants would have been incinerated. and, again, they were not.
the plants did show the well-documented changes (elongated apical nodes,
presence of expulsion cavities) regularly found in crop circles which are not
created by mechanical flattening (i.e., with planks and boards). what is most
interesting is the fact that both the documented plant changes and the increases
in clay-mineral crystallization occurred at the same sampling locations. a
regression analysis found that the node-length increases in the plants were
correlated with the increase in crystallization of the clay minerals in the
soils at the 99.2% level of confidence, a truly extraordinary result.
so the data appear to indicate that whatever caused the plant changes, also
caused the soil changes at the same sampling locations. and yet we realize that
the intense energy situation required to produce the soil effects would have
destroyed the plants altogether. as dr. reynolds, the dartmouth mineralogist
and recognized authority on clay minerals and the xrd technique whom we asked to
review our study stated, we are apparently dealing with an energy currently
unknown to science.
as is often the case in science, new and intriguing questions have been raised.
the notion of mechanical flattening, however, is without question ruled out.
we hope that all interested members of the crop circle community will take the
time to examine the new study. all of the data and personnel involved have been
included on the web-site. blt welcomes comments and/or questions. please note,
also, that many other changes and additions have been made to other pages on the
site, including the following pages: "home," "plant abnormalities,"
"clay-mineral xrd study," "other facts," "professional consultants," "lab
reports," and "contact."
