Exciting Preliminary Lab Results Of Israeli Crop Circle Material
by Barry Chamish
Materials found in an Israeli UFO crop formation and landing site are currently undergoing laboratory testing in the US. While final results have not yet been released, preliminary findings have been announced and they are very exciting.
In September 1997, a father and his son discovered a landing site in Tel Yitzhak, a suburb of Kadima. Dispersed within previous Kadima circles, over twenty since 1973, were shards of a metallic material and a crimson colored oil. The shards were tested in three laboratories and found to be composed of highly pure (at least 99.35%) silicon. The red oil was twice tested in laboratories which agreed it was iron based though other elements were identified including an unusually high level of cadmium.
In April of this year, a crop formation 26 meters in diameter was discovered in the Jezreel Valley. Within were seven indentations, possibly landing pods, filled with a white powder and crimson oil. A young ufologist Gil Bar collected the materials and I sent an Internet appeal for laboratory testing of them. I was rewarded well when Whitley Streiber agreed to arrange testing at a Texas lab he was associated with, while the team of Dr. W.C. Levengood and Nancy Talbott took on the responsibility of testing in their own facilities. Ms. Talbott released the preliminary results this month (August 1998) and they have great international significance.
Tel Yitzhak- The Tel Yitzhak material looks like a lichen but is composed of material which stretches like a rubber band. I have shown the material at four UFO conferences in the past year and each time participants and audience guessed by its appearance that it had to be organic.
Their guesses were wrong. According to the Levengood/Talbott results, the "lichen" is composed of the same highly pure silicon found in previous Kadima circles. A new material, silicon which stretches like rubber, may have been discovered.
Bet Zarzir - The crop formation material found at Bet Zarzir in the Jezreel Valley is no less significant. While Ms. Talbott did not report on the white powder, grasses within the circle were highly magnetized.
But it is the red oil which is looking like the scientific prize. Its internal structure is made up of large (2 micron) donut-shaped compounds. Ms. Talbott reported that the same donut-shaped internal structure was found in materials connected to two previous alien abduction cases. Dr. Levengood is now conducting advanced tests on the red oil, the results of which are eagerly anticipated in Israel and should be, everywhere.
Note: this case should be linked to UFO landing traces and not crop circles.
