Crop Circle Breakthrough? Swirly Thing Alert

[Rabelais]

I sometimes read George Ure's Urban Survival website. He often has some poignant precious metals and political commentary. He is also the home for recent postings from Igor and Cliff, at the halfpasthuman web bot project.

Today he offers this fascinating bit of info from those guys. Look what they did...

Urgent Update

Crop Circle Breakthrough? Swirly Thing Alert

I don't normally post "bulletins" on my web site, but the world may be about to be changed - forever - in ways we can not yet predict. This is a story about crop circles. So the first thing to do is read up on them over at Wikipedia.

The second thing you need to do is hit YouTube or Google Video and look at some video of what happens when crop circles are spun. Various shapes and patterns begin to emerge. Here's a good one to start with.

Now, here are the latest developments: An international ad hoc group of programmers and my friend Cliff over at www.halfpasthuman.com have been working on the crop circles and spinning them at various frame rates. Cliff happens to have the graphics expertise to do some alpha testing of frame/spinning software and he's got a group of programmers in Germany and elsewhere who are collaborating on the project. He's been up for 24-hours or so, and is reporting some amazing if not world changing results.

What seems to occur is that when spun around various center points different information is emerging from from crop circles. His assistant in the predictive linguistics project is a fellow we call Igor - a Fortune 100 level IT guy. Ever since he has known him, Cliff reports that Igor has been chewing his mustache. Since he's got the most 'eye time' on spinning crop circles, its curious to note that Igor is no longer chewing his moustache.

In Europe, where another member of the loosely connected team is spinning other circles, the researcher reported dropping into something like an alpha-state trance for a couple of hours and, upon emerging from it, he reported that his arthritis of many years has stopped hurting.

Another says if a black and white image is spun, colors emerge.

So here's what's going on right now: This ad hoc team of programmers is working on software which will be put into the public domain if it works as expected. The software will not only allow the spinning of the crop circle images at various frame rates (where we already have seen different information appear) but in addition, eventually it will provide for flexibility in setting the axis point. So, in other words, you'll be able to spin crop circles in various directions.

At SourceForge.net you can look in on the Linux work ongoing. The project there is "Crop Circle Symbol Engine".

We're not sure where this is going to lead, but it could be one of those 'chance' events that could lead to a real breakthrough in how humans work. Or, later today Igor could go nuts and have to be locked up...we just don't know. Worries about the Zombie factor may be why we're testing on Igor...

But what we do know for now is that some unexpected results are occurring, and software is in development to push out on the envelope a bit, and we want to get the word out as to what's happening and that this will all end up (rather quickly) FREE and in the public domain.

Frankly, we don't know if this is some kind of transdimensional/intergalactic mental invasion technique, or whether we've just stumbled over the intergalactic/transdimensional encyclopedia that will jump humans ahead to who new states of awareness and health. Just too early to tell.

But, since Cliff has the video manipulation background, having patented the Vortex Reader technology, and since we've been working on the predictive linguistics technology (a/k/a the 'web bot project') for nearly 10-years together, it seems, as one of the researchers in Europe noted, that Cliff & Igor may be playing the role of Jody Foster in the movie "Contact".

Or, as Cliff puts it: "We may have stumbled on our own Manhattan Project here..."

We'll keep you posted. But we may have just cracked the cover of "What Comes Next 101".

This is Ure's post from Friday, April 3, 2009. So if you are checking out this post in a month or two, you will need to search the archives for that date to find the original. There are also loads of embedded links in the original text that you might want to follow, so go to the site.

Edit:

Here is a youtube search result for vids of spinning CCs
http://www.youtube.com/results?search_type=&search_query=spinning+crop+circles&aq=f

I don't have a clue if there is actually anything to this, but it is interesting in theory.

Interesting...

I am using Fedora 8/9/10 and they have an application
called 'Blender' - a 3D CAD/animation program and it is a very,
very cool program. Anyway, I stumbled on another uTube
that explains it, here, using crop circles and blender:

Blender is also available for windows users as well, but I am
basically trying to get myself less dependant on M$ as much
as possible and only use M$ in cases where Fedora (a linux distro)
does not.

As far as looking at spinning crop-circles, at least the pictures are
there, spinning or not. Of course, we are aware that some of the
crop circles are known frauds (mentioned on this forum?) so,
one ought to be careful, perhaps, like the reversed/modified Usi
Reiki symbols?

Yup, the devil is in the details, as Ark so often reminds us. There are, I think, some circles that the Cassies have verified as being theirs, so some research through the transcripts and Cassiopaea site would probably be a good place to begin weeding the signal from the noise.

It is also interesting that the Cs recommended "spinning"... although maybe not specifically crop circle pics

They also so state that their circles do not disrupt the creative principal. Burst nodes and broken plant medium stems would eliminate those circles right off the bat. Sometimes the folks over at Crop Circle Connector actually examine the post circle state of the plants, before they rush off to come up with their interpretations. That would be a good place to research too.

I think I smell a question for the next C's session.

Awesome!

... and also, the Cassies left the crops better than the original crop state,
growing well, confirming the creative principle! THAT alone, blew my mind!

Getting color from black and white sound amazing but is a well know optical illusion:

Perhaps we can have color from a large range of "random" patterns when spin occur.

Software for spinning crop-circle images

I'm hoping this isn't seen as blatant spam, because it's an exception to the rule that is quite relevant.

I'm in the final stages of development on a rather intense and thorough piece of software designed from the ground up for spinning crop circles in ways nobody has done before. Namely, multiple axes, spinning simultaneously for a full 3D effect, with the ability to set a different rate of spin for each of the X (left to right), Y (top to bottom), and Z (clockwise or counterclockwise) axes. It's all based on DirectX, the software "core" used for 3D games. The main challenge in creating such a monstrosity has been making it feasible for the end user to spin the images they want to spin. With few exceptions, these images are going to come from the web. Being aerial photos, they're going to be distorted - not true circles, because of the angles they were photographed from. The images need to be stretched and distorted to become true circles. Further, they're going to contain extra info that is not desireable to have in the spinning image - "plow lines" in the photos, etc.; all stuff that needs to be eliminated. DirectX employs "shaders," a sub-system that basically allows the creation of any effect that PhotoShop can generate. This program uses shaders to convert any crop circle image to an outline or silhouette image. Most of the program is focused on stretching the image into a true circle. In nearly all cases, this cannot be achieved without both stretching and rotation of some kind. The program handles it all.

I'm also inclucing the concept of "snapshot overlays." If I want 4 rotations at 90 degrees each, the application will overlay and blend each of these rotations. You can set the number of degrees per snapshot, the axis, and the number of rotations, then blend to your heart's content. God only knows what could be revealed, being able to properly and professionally work with these images.

Even I have not yet performed the spin with this software! I find it pointless to do it until the image alignment process is complete, and this is what's being done now. It is without question the most intense and difficult programming I have ever done in 31 years of development. All the videos I've seen on YouTube, etc. only rotate on the Z axis (like looking down on a spinning turntable). With this software you have 3 axes to work with, not just one. So there is nothing I can conceive of that you can't do with this package.

The biggest feature, I think, is the ability to take all your settings, package the data (and the image!) into a single file, and upload it for sharing with others. So if you expereince something profound, you can save everything to one file and put it on the web; others can download it, load it into the program, and they're ready to go; they'll see what you see. Most people are not programmers, but the program allows the creation of custom shader code to change the colors and appearance of the image in ways you could not imagine. So again, others can share the custom shaders they've created and you can download them.

The thing is going out for $19.95 with free trials to download so it isn't going to be priced in the stratosphere. For now there is nothing to spam - no web site is up yet and there is nothing to sell. I'm just letting a few people know the basics and see what kind of feedback I get. Still, nobody knows what happens when these things are spun properly. I'm at the head of the line of people who are anxious to find out.

This is a professional quality piece of software across the board. It was designed from the ground up for only one purpose: to animate crop circles. In so doing, a good number of the hoaxes and fakes out there can hopefully be eliminated as well.

I hope there's some genuine interest in this and that this posting isn't seeen as offensive spam. I'm creating this software for the same reason anybody is interested in this subject, not as some commercial venture.

Re: Software for spinning crop-circle images

I noticed that this is the only post by this user, and it's over 2yrs old. Does anyone know any more about this program?
I'd like to know what it's called, whether or not it's available, name of publisher/producer/developer/software company.

I'm no mathematician, but I am very interested in viewing crop circles in 3 dimensions. Not sure why, or if I'll be able to see/learn or decode anything from it. Just really want to see what these 2-d images look like in 3-d.

Re: Software for spinning crop-circle images

thanx for the reply... havin real trouble finding it tho... plenty of references to it, but no download. I'll keep looking. It might just be the fact that I'm not very good at internet searching...

If you read the forum thread that was referenced, you might find out why. There's really not much to this.
