Thunderstones - well, duh, a meteorite strike can look a lot like a lighting strike, etc. The thing is, often while Fort is going off on his bizarre tirades against the scientific dismissal of his phenomenon, I keep thinking up perfectly rational explanations. Lots of fun tales about the guys who made crop circles and the hippies who follow crop circles chasing each other around pubs in remote Wiltshire. I've always pictured these guys as rural ex-hippie Brits that sit around and debate about Hawkwind while waiting for the next Julian Cope book to come out.Īctually, I used to know a lot of them (through Joe and his mates) and this is a pretty fair description. Wow, the Flying Saucers On The Attack cover looks a lot like those "secure beneath the watchful eyes" posters on the busses which scared the crap out of me.
