The luminous phenomena associated with the crop circles :
the « balls of light »
For a long time, light phenomena has been observed in England in the region of the
crop circles. Numerous observers have seen and even recorded in a camera what
they describe as balls of light that move very rapidly during a length in the order of
a few seconds, to a few meters above the field. These are mysterious sources of
light, whitish, independent of any material object. Sometimes this observation
precedes or appears simultaneously with the creation of a crop circle, so that
certain researchers think that the crop circles are « created by luminous balls ».
Nevertheless, some balls of light have been also observed without a realization of a
crop circle, and we must add that the people who have had the chance to observe a
crop circle creation have not necessarily seen any luminous phenomenon. The two
phenomena, observation of a crop circle and observation of light balls are then
sometimes associated, but they are not in every case.
The number of observations and of video recordings no longer allow for doubting
the authenticity of these testimonies. It is still about a very strange phenomenon,
but also quite real.
The photo-surprises associated with the crop circles

Sometimes, a luminous phenomenon that seems similar have been observed in
some « photo surprises » taken inside a crop circle, even a long time after its
realization : the photographer was able to discover on his photo an opaque white
light mark (photo 1), while he or she hadn't seen anything with the naked eye. In
another case, we can discover a luminous trace on a photo as if a white mark
moved itself during the fraction of a second of the shooting (photo 2), which
implies a movement at great speed.
Other photo-surprises

In other cases of photo-surprises taken outside of the region of the crop circles, the
photographer was able to discover on his images captured at night and with the
help of a flash, luminous white marks in complex and varied forms (photos 3 and
4), while he saw nothing with the naked eye. The complex forms of these images,
and the impression f movement that they show, seems to indicate that it is not
about simple phenomena of luminous diffraction that should be created by particles
or material objects. The luminous phenomena seem to be of a different nature from
what we call « orbs », that show whitish marks, quite circular and rather
transparent but non-uniform, with an interior structuring.
