Channel 4 Equinox documentary about the mystery of crop circles, broadcast shortly before Dave Chorley and Doug Bower revealed themselves to have started the craze.

Highly advanced mathematical equations were examined and deciphered, complete with sacred geometry and hidden messages for mankind. Most of these signs can only be seen from the air. Who is the Prince of the Power of the Air?

In this film, CHRIS EVERARD, who has visited more than 200 crop circles personally, describes the ancient energy grid, known as LEY LINES which intersect at STONEHENGE, SILBURY HILL and AVEBURY, and how the ditches around many standing stones concentrate a flow of this geo-etheric energy.... Through photographic analysis of many crop circles which often accumulate close to these ancient megalithic stone circles, CHRIS EVERARD has managed to piece together a TIMELINE which connects more than 4,000 years of history - proving that the Crop Circles are 'attracted' to these lines of geo-energy and that our ancient forefathers knew all about the self-luminous balls of energy which make the Crop Circles...
