@KinleOshob,

You're such a lovable brother! Thank you for that reco - I haven't even browsed a quarter of it yet; but someone else had recommended that same site following my post on the UFO testimony by the politician and pilot. Some very intriguing articles on that site. . . can't rush to digest them.

Other phenomena will be posted soon in detail. Another kind brother asked me to look into the phenomenon of crop circles and make a committed statement instead of "ducking behind the lame excuse of having no answers" (his quote). Well, my thanks again to him; and I will take some time off to look deep into it and make some more detailed postings on the phenomena. However, I no go lie naw. . . if I no get answers, why I go pretend hubris? grin

It's sha all good. . . we are learning more about orphic realities in our living world. Whatever are the interpretations, may God help our hearts to know how to love and serve Him above all else.

Shalom.

Precisely my thoughts.

The thoughts on that site are so deep; so I'm going to have to spend some time to get the big picture before I offer any synthesis from what they have shared. Meanwhile, I'm a bit fascinated about the mystery of the crop circles - which will feature first before coming back to the UFO to tie the pieces together (especially as some think that the crop circles can best be explained by the activity of real occurences of UFOs that nobody talks about). Hmm, na wah.

Till then, have a great evening. wink

Another amazing website i would like you to visit is http://www.s8int.com/ it took me weeks to go through this site and i was really mesmerized, truly there is soo much evidence of unexplainable amazing things that have happened on this planet and are still happening. I am sure we all would learn a lot from this site. Another beautiful thing is that the site provides a lot of factual evidence of God and amazing biblical incidences. The section on the human dna and the complex language (real language) it was written it is mind blowing. Truly this site answers a lot of questions much as it poses a lot more.

If you are the only one on earth, rather if only the Christians are the people who have won battles, then it will a litmus that God is theirs, exclusively, and he does not belong to others. But that is not the case. There are many more battles won by God's permissions, by many other than the Christians. Even the nonbelievers are victorious in many ways more than you can count! Look at the people of India, China, Russia of the old USSR block, Japan, etc.

@KunleOshob,

Infact, I cannot thank you enough for helping out in sharing these matters. Just as reindeer has stated already, it is a really packed site. The highlighted parts in your quote should now be more helpful to capture the essence of this thread, especially for those offline who are wondering about my interest in these matters. Lol, actually it was meant to start out as an experiment particularly for those who are too polarised to the naturalistic worldview, so that they understand that there are supernatural phenomena in our world which the naturalistic worldview does not explain. It is okay for some people to hold unto rationalism; but how then do they account for events that are clearly “orphic” occurences?

I’m still looking at the UFO and Crop Circle connection at the moment.  Certainly, some of those crop cirlces are clearly man-made, and they artists have documented their talenst about such. However, these artists have not trie to imitate the phenomena of UFOs, so we can relax now and concentrate on the crop circles that are not man-made. cheesy

Anyhow, I would like to first share some of the amazing photos of intricate crop circle designs, before discussing a few others that are suspected to have been supernaturally produced by alien forces. Enjoy. wink

Crop CirclesAn Intro

                ___________________________________________________________________

                  Crop circles are patterns created by the flattening of crops such as wheat, barley,
                  rapeseed (also called "canola"wink, rye, corn, linseed and soy. The term was first used
                  by researcher Colin Andrews to describe simple circles he was researching.

                  Although since 1990 the circles have evolved into complex geometries, the term
                 "circle" has stuck. Various hypotheses have been offered to explain their formation,
                  ranging from the naturalistic to the paranormal.

                  Naturalistic explanations include man-made hoaxes or geological anomalies,
                  while paranormal explanations include formation by UFOs. Many circles are known
                  to be man-made, such as those created by Doug Bower, Dave Chorley, and
                  John Lundberg,  and a 2000 study into circle hoaxing concluded that 80 percent
                  of UK circles were definitely man-made. Bower and Chorley were awarded an
                  Ig Nobel Prize in 1992 for their crop circle hoaxing.

@reindeer,

Wow! That is just brilliant! Your life since coming to know the love of Christ has been such an encouragement to so many others – almost every other day when someone drops me a line, there’s been mention of you; and I’m so thankful that the focus has shifted from me to more about what the wonderful power of Jesus Name can do in somebody’s life. May your joy ever abound. Jesus is indeed Lord. wink

More Crop Circles

What fascinates us is the precision of the intricate designs over large areas of fields. Especially the geometric and other daedal outlines add to the wonder of this phenomena, that even among those that are man-made, they are so arresting! I’m sure some others have come across even more elaborate designs, but for those who need easily accessible examples, enjoy the following:








Re: Our Orphic World by pilgrim1(f): 12:42pm On Oct 09, 2008
Now, we don’t know what to make of the report of crop circle designs mysteriously  appearing on human and animal bodies. No, I’m not kidding – a few reports are out there of crop circle designs on a man’s chest as well on a passive cat. Whether or not the carriers of the report were kidding, I don’t know: you may just want to read through for yourself.

           _________________________________________________________________________

            Extraterrestrials Leave Crop Circles in Cat’s Fur

           

           Like any other British moggie, Bianca naps for 18 hours a day. She eats an average diet
           and lives a normal life. In her spare time, she enjoys shredding paper towels and swatting
           things that move on the telly. Everyone is puzzled as to why aliens chose this particular cat
           for their latest “crop circle” prank after nearly thirty years of mowing crop circles in
           the fields of Wiltshire.

           It is believed that crop circles form as a result of the flight and landing patterns of flying
           saucers, or UFO’s for short. England has been plagued with visits from these strange
           vehicles since the late 1890’s, but only recently has the phenomena become famous.
           A number of cats have reported alien abductions in relation to crop circle formations in
           their area, but none of these have been confirmed.

          Bianca’s case is the first recorded incident in which a crop circle has formed in a cat’s fur.
          On the left side of her back and abdomen, aliens have etched what appears to be the shape
          of many circles that altogether look like a fish with pellets shooting out of its mouth.

         “I believe that it is a message from our brothers from Planet Hsif,” Bianca said in an
         interview on Wednesday. “They must think that we should prepare for a battle with
         Earth’s fish.”

        Although Bianca does not recall being abducted by aliens, she reports that her bottom does
        “feel a bit sore” and she plans to stay home for a few days to rest up.

One reason why I have been soooo slow here is because. . m-e-n!! those sites you and some others recommended are just sooo super! I don't even know where to start or how to tie them together so that I don't end up boring or confusing people the more. There's been some clippings here and there that may bring our attention to a few undeniable occurences - and in due course I shall try and post them, in connection with the findings of scientific investigations as to the real cases that have been recorded.

Hmm, bros. .  me, I no get answers for the many questions about these orphic phenomena. Although there are an abundance of hoaxes in crop circles, my brother there are many others which science investigators have concluded that they are not man-made. What is even more interesting is that these conclusions have been reached by some who were skeptic about supernatural or paranormal occurences.

Why they don't happen in Africa is like someone saying he does not believe in rainfall because it happens everywhere else except in the Atacama desert! grin  Click on the link and see why such a person may argue that he does not believe in rainfall - because even though it is said that there has been no rainfall in the Atacama desert for close to 20million years, yet how does the village of San Pedro de Atacama survive such an arid place on planet earth?


Reputed to be about 15 million years old and
100 times more arid than California's Death Valley.

Well, obinna5000. . . whether dem shave crop circle for oyibo man chest or not, there are definitely orphic phenomena in our world. Me, I no get answers to all of dem and will not pretend any such answers. One thing I know is that even skeptics are not able to deny the reality of these orphic occurences.

Shalom.
Re: Our Orphic World by pilgrim1(f): 2:27pm On Oct 12, 2008
Okay, after the long wait it was just about time that I faced up and devoted some time to grow this thread. The info I browsed through was quite packed and perhaps may intrigue some of us as it did me.


Crop Circles – What Are They?

One succinct definition has it that:

‘Crop circles are organized harmonic forms that manifest around
the world, the result of an energy interacting with the physical world –
in this case plants. This energy is comprised of light, sound and
magnetism. To date, crop circles have been reported in 29 countries,
and have appeared in mediums such as wheat, barley, canola, trees, ice,
rice paddies, even linseed.’  ~~ The Crop Circular

Although it is the typical reaction of many of us to wave away mysterious events with a skeptic shrug, these phenomena are beginning to captivate the attention of many investigators. Albeit there are confirmed hoaxes in these occurences, not every single case can be dismissed summarily as such.

Crop Circles have been reported in so many diverse places, from as far as the British Columbia to Britain and toAustralia, these circles have been noticed since the 17th century; and the recent interest in them is not unconnected with reports of UFO activities.
Re: Our Orphic World by pilgrim1(f): 2:28pm On Oct 12, 2008
Mystifying, Enigmatic

Some of the baffling experiences linked to genuine crop circle fields include, but not limited to:

Strange Energies

People who have visited genuinely formed crop circles report that they have felt really strange while within the circle fields – as if it put them in altered states of consciousness - and later felt normal after leaving the circle. Also reports of effects on mobile phones were not uncommon as mobile network connections could not be established, or the cell phones as well as wrist watches suddenly stopped working. As well, in a few other cases, compasses taken to the fields shortly after the circles were formed, start spinning uncontrollably. However, some other oddities include vortices, strange sounds or vibrations. Some reports have been made of strange reactions of farm animals and pets, which range from fear to being indocile and aggressive, such as dogs barking at unseen presence – but those pets returned to normal when they left the vicinity of the circles.


Strange Events

How are crop circles formed? There are many theories about this; but no one has been able to say for sure just how precisely these phenomena occur. Some have attribued them mainly to UFO activities, which happen so quickly that the ingenuities of men are unable to produce such intricate designs in as such short time scales. Often there are no footprints where the circles have been created; and in some instances the plant stems are so intricately woven with one another to produce those patterns that it could not be humanly possible to achieve such a feat without breaking a single stem of those plants.


Strange Effects

How does one explain away these phenomena where the strange energy is said in some instances to have had adversely affected farm animals and pets and yet seem to have very little such effect on the plants themselves? While the stems of crops are sometimes charred, the plants remain healthy and grow until they are harvested. However, the animals often are undeniable tellers of these strange presence – for animals, birds, and insects in the areas depressed are often found flattened, fried, or otherwise instantly killed ( reported here,1 ). As can be seen from the pictures below, the stems of plants are bent by the strange energy but remarkably not one of them is found broken.



As another website reports:

‘Whatever process is employed, it actually alters the fundamental
biophysics and biochemistry of the plants. Some have described
the effect as resembling an exposure to intense, but not harmful,
microwave radiation. The entire surface of some formations is glazed
with a layer of minute particles of pure iron, while areas just outside
the effected areas are not. The purity of these particles is not found
in iron produced anywhere on Earth.’ ~ Terrestrial Anomalies
