Paratopia Episode 47: Crop Circle Roundtable

Friday - 9pm (EST) 2am(GMT) www.paratopia.net

richard_d_hall.jpgRichard D. Hall set out to make a definitive documentary on crop circle research. What he discovered was more than he bargained for and will surely be the topic of great debate in the crop circle community: Is famed crop circle hoaTEAMCAYTON.jpgxer John Lundberg working for the MI5 and the CIA? This is not a baseless accusation typical of conspiracy paranoia. There is ample evidence to suggest that he is. You will hear some of that evidence on the show, but you can watch the entire documentary, entitled, Crop Circles: The Hidden Truth, for free right here:

www.richplanet.net

On Paratopia, Richard is joined by two crop researchers who figured heavily in the film, Robert Hulse and David Cayton. The round table takes us deep into the crop circle mystery and, as you’d expect from us by now, deep into other areas of ufology and personal experience as well.

Apparently the intelligence behind the phenomenon is in competition with itself to see if it can “out-weird” itself on our show. During our first crop circle episode with Colin Andrews, we all felt that high strangeness vibe and Colin’s bank of computers shut down one by one, perhaps in conjunction with the topic being discussed. In this, our second crop circle episode, we capture an obvious EVP during a discussion about Robert’s video of what he believes is a camouflaged alien. Though the voice is cut out of the episode because it’s too jarring, we insert it at the end and loop it a few times for you to hear. Who is it? What is he trying to say?

Very strange. It must be a crop circle thing. We should just keep doing these crop-themed shows until an alien appears and has a sit-down chat with us.

Paratopia Episode 44: Colin Andrews

colin_alt.jpg

Colin Andrews is best known for his research into the crop circle subject since 1983. He provides the only continuity between the past research era and the present, along with his friend and colleague, Busty Taylor.  His long view of both the genuine phenomenon and the human-made phenomenon provides unique insight into the subject. His research results indicate the intelligence behind the phenomenon is interacting with both crop circle researchers and many of the people who make the hoaxes.

He has publicly stated since the late 1980’s that the phenomenon indicates a future period of human chaos. The period indicated, supported by current trends, can be changed with human awareness and he believes there are serious eco-political implications and that the future direction of the planet is at the center of the phenomenon.

He and his longtime friend and research partner Pat Delgado authored Circular Evidence, considered by many to be the definitive work on the crop circle phenomenon. He is also the author of Government Circles which details and proves beyond question the Government and Royal Family’s interest and communication with the original crop circles researchers with never before released documents - and sets the record straight. Colin and his wife Dr. Synthia Andrews, have also penned The Complete Idiot’s Guide to 2012 which details the 2012 issue across various cultures.

The man who coined the term “crop circle,” Colin Andrews, joins us tonight for an in-depth interview that seems to have a life of its own. Some of what that means happens during the show, and we take a time out to discuss it. Some of it continues to unfold privately as we post the episode.

Three things are for sure:

1.) This interview has triggered something in all three of us.

2.) If you are like many and have completely disregarded crop circles as nothing more than hoaxes, you will change your mind after this interview.

3.) The first two things are not hyperbole. For more on that, here’s Colin Andrews’ comments in his own words.

Join us tonight for this landmark episode of Paratopia. You won’t look at the subject the same way again.

Crickets…and Jeff and Jeremy…

This weeks podcast is rather light, due to a technical difficulty beyond our control. It’s all sorted, but a bit too late to re-record our interview with our guest. However, we never let our listeners go hungry…so Jeff ate something, Jer reads from a book, and crickets ensued.

Back next week with a great guest…we shall never speak of this again.

Benefit Raffle for Marley Woods

.

.

notasoundclose.jpgretrieverclose.jpgliftedclose.jpg

Ted Phillips recently spoke on Paratopia about the phenomenal Marley Woods Case. This seems to be one of the most compelling paranormal/UFO cases in recent history. Mr. Phillips’ credibility is impeccable in this field, which is a rarity in and of itself, and he is doing what more researchers should: sharing the facts openly with the public as the case unfolds. While most researchers become territorial and secretive, Phillips is always willing to discuss and share gathered data with everyone.

Mr. Phillips has related that he wants to establish wireless internet and webcams at Marley so we can all witness the amazing phenomena occurring there for ourselves. These are trying economic times; Ted and the Center for Trace Research need our help!

In our first funding venture for Ted Phillips and the Center, Paratopia has joined forces with renowned artist Mark Brabant, of www.hoveringobject.com, to present one lucky raffle winner with THREE of Mark’s most sought-after prints: “Retriever” (Edition of 200) “It Never Made a Sound” (Edition of 150) “Lifted” (Edition of 100)

All prints are limited edition, professionally screen-printed original works of art. Each is printed on heavyweight 80 - 110 lb. stock suitable for framing or displaying however you choose. Only high-quality, fade-resistant, archival screen printing inks are used.  The winner’s prints will be signed by the artist, and special-edition noted to reflect this benefit raffle for Ted Phillips and the Center for Physical Trace Research.

Raffle tickets will be available through de Paypal, as our friend Zacharia would say, at $3.00 each. You can buy as many tickets as you like. All names will be thrown in the hopper and one randomly chosen winner will be drawn on April 24th’s Paratopia show. All proceeds from the raffle will go directly to Ted Phillips and the Center to fund the Marley Woods investigation and fulfill their desire to install web cams and wireless internet.

We’re getting actively involved here at Paratopia! Let’s all put our money where our mouth is and make this a huge success!
