Centered around highly charged electromagnetic ley-lines, primarily in the mysterious Stonehenge area of England, these elaborate geometric designs, cut overnight into fields of wheat, suggest an advanced civilization, perhaps of extraterrestrial origin. 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.
