CUT TO THE CHASE
With Marshall Masters
19-September-2004: Crop Circle Researcher Maurice Osborn
– Attempting Contact with a Digitally Coded, Man-Made Crop Circle
A
soft-spoken software developer, Maurice Osborn has created a software program
to design digital messages based on the protocol suggested by the 2002 Crabwood
formation using the Sagan Continuation Project contact message. He then used
that message plus a secret verifier to construct a man-made crop circle in
England, this last August. His effort represents a significant milestone in
the history of crop circle research, because no institution or government
funds his efforts. The message he sent to the stars last August with the help
of many volunteers in both England and America, is every bit as sophisticated
as the 1974 message, astronomer Carl Sagan beamed into space using the powerful
(and expensive) Arecibo telescope.
