The
August 2002 "face and message" crop circle is located about 5
miles from last year's Chilbolton "face
and message" creation. This years crop design is approximately 250
feet wide by 350 feet long.
Until
proven otherwise, both crop circles appear to be valid and created by an
off-Earth intelligence. No Earthbound individual or group has yet to claim
responsibility for either design.
Several
days after the August 2002 design was formed, an e-mail was was received
from an Earthfiles visitor who said "A large part of my full time job
is decoding ciphers and reverse engineering communication protocols.: Here
is what he provided...
"Hello
I have noticed your news article on the Crabwood corn circle.
Please
find below the results of my initial work in decoding the Crabwood Farm
crop circle, and the message which it seems to contain!
SUGGESTIONS.
Suggestion 1. The
circle partially overlaying the Alien visage, appears to contain digital
information comprising of ones and zeros. (Either Flattened or
erect corn).
Suggestion
2. The information is represented in 8 bit data segments of identical
length, all bit positions being equally marked. There is a narrow
separator or synchronisation bit (ridge) between the 8bit data fields.
Suggestion
3. It is highly probable that ASCII 8 bit encoding is used as the most
common character used was SPACE that is represented by hex x20, this was
used to separate the blocks of data segments. (Hex is a convenient digital
way of representing the binary information contained in the message). The
circle seems to be of simple 8 bits binary encoding, with characters
represented by the ASCII character set. The language used is
international English. The Circle is read from the inside out or counter
clockwise.
Suggestion
4. Between each curved line of data, there is an empty
separator line.
MESSAGE
DECODING.
The pictures used to decode the text were those taken from of the crop circle
The
pictures required orthogonal correction to ensure that as a near as
perfect circle was presented. This is so that a view directly above of the
circle was used when decoding the contents. Simple contrast enhancement
was performed.
The
message was decoded by using a marked bit of paper in the following manner...
|blank|1|2|4|8|1|2|4|8|. The LSB (Least Significant Bit) is on the left;
the MSB (Most Significant bit) is on the right. The paper was curled along
the empty separator line, when reading the text. The blank part was placed
ion the synchronisation bits.
MESSAGE
CONTENTS (some
missing)
This is the deciphering of the message:
"Beware
the bearers of FALSE gifts & their BROKEN PROMISES.
Much PAIN but
still time.
(Damaged
Word... translates as EELRIJUE or possibly BELIEVE.)
There is GOOD out there.
We OPpose DECEPTION.
Conduit CLOSING (BELL SOUND)."
The
message consists of 26 words. Interestingly the English alphabet has 26
letters.

DECODING
The Below table has
two columns, the hexadecimal number and its English alphabet
equivalent."

Another
Translator Writes:
An
e-mail came on August 19 from another Earthfiles viewer who writes about
the "word damage by tramlines" above:
"Maybe
that 'EELRIJUE' is the name of the place where it is 'GOOD there.' So, no
damaged word, but the name of that place. Maybe a star name? Maybe the
name of their planet?"

Information from Earthfiles:
Prior
Similar Text in August 1991 Crop Formation
In
August 1991 in the Milk Hill field near Alton Barnes, Wiltshire, England,
an inscription was placed in the wheat field which British author John
Michell reported about in The Cereologist No. 9, index.html, Summer 1993,
based on two years of work by a committee of nine people, including a
cryptoanalyst. The only solution that could be found were two ancient
Latin words, Oppono Astos.
One translation is, "I oppose acts of
craft and cunning." The Latin description of what the Greeks did with
the Trojan Horse used the word astos to describe the gift of the Trojan
Horse which was used to get an attacking army into the city of Troy.
