Chorost, Michael, ed. "Report on the Results of Project Argus: An Instrumented Study of the Physical Materials of Crop Circles." Durham, N.C.:North American Circle, 1992. 115 pages, with illustrations and index. The findings of Project Argus, a scientific study of the soil and plants of crop circles. It sought evidence of anomalous differences between the interiors of crop circles and the surrounding farmland. Reliable evidence of such differences would constitute evidence that the phenomenon was not a hoax. The project carried out, among other things, gamma spectroscopy, electron microscopy, DNA analysis, magnetic flux density scans, and plant tissue analysis. The project's most interesting results came from the magnetic scans and tissue analyses, which yielded notable inside/outside differences. Also, an analysis of the local rainfall showed that some of the area's best-made formations had been made in the rain (and, therefore, mud, greatly increasing the difficulty of hoaxing.) The other tests were negative. The report may be obtained for $12 in the USA and $15 overseas (prices include postage) from the editor at 3607 Greystone #821, Austin, Texas 78731. A condensed version of the report may eventually be made available on the World Wide Web. Back to top of bibliography
