FRAGMENT TL-0308 · Crop circle hoaxers · INCIDENT

Nine of the crop formations are mine. Nineteen ninety-one. I was documenting, not decorating — a survey marker leaves a print, and your fields are convenient flat ground. That summer two men announced they had made all of them with a plank and a rope. They had made four hundred. There were four hundred and nine. Nobody audited the difference. Your researchers hold photographs of the nine and call them the authentic ones. They are correct. It is the only time.
