Robbert Van De Broeke, a man with a need to create illusions, hoaxes and deception  in order to sustain his credibility and Nancy Talbotts BLT supports everything that he does - is it corroboration or naivety ?
Robbert appears to be on a campaign to astound his followers and silence his critics with a variety of alleged apparitions, ranging from animals, UFOs, religious icons, critters, alien entities, grass circles and the deceased. The rather worrying aspect of it all is that Robbert seems to have a credible ability to fool his followers into believing that he is the chosen one.
However !
Robberts case is full of debate where psychologists may find him as a useful individual to study. I say this without malice as I do believe that Robbert may have had, at some stage in his life the ability as a medium but in some cases which I'm aware of at a local level, where such ability has been at a temporary level. There are three cases which I'm aware of where unnamed individuals went through a traumatic time in their lives . During their traumatic time each individual reported that they gained an ability to have foresight and were able predict future events where in a realistic life style they did not even consider having or trying  psychic ability. Out of the three cases, two went on to become mediums but one out of the two after many years of Tarot readings has decided to leave the profession as she feels that she no longer has that connective ability within the psychic world. She said ' My life has returned to some normality after a period of difficulty so I felt it was wrong to continue with something which in the end I was simply guessing. I could no longer take payment and handshakes from hope seeking public and watch them leave my home with eye watering emotions'.
The 2nd of the three cases has also taken on Tarot readings and spiritual sessions and continues to do so to this very day as he finds it rewarding to see contented customers but some of his customers have stated that he used to be one of the best but now seems to be a way for cash flow for him as his bookings are crammed in and sessions are now meaningless and shorter.
The third case - probably the wisest of them all who has retained accurate psychic ability and has not gained profit or any form of credibility. She said ' I share what I have been given with friends and family only. I don't want to reach a stage where I abuse it and lose it ! '

So in Robberts case there is a good chance that Robbert did experience some form of psychic ability in his life and decided to do something with it but when such an ability dissipates, letting go may prove to be difficult as one has spread ones wings through the media into semi fame. So rather than saying my time is up - then I will instead have to MAKE IT UP !.

Robberts latest case has proved to be rather controversial:

Video on the left shows Robbert and his colleague attempting  to show a rather stage performance of an apparition on camera of the  late Pat Delgado ( research colleague of Colin Andrews ) and the late Dave Chorley ( Circle Maker and Colleague of Doug Bower who is currently still alive ) . Video on the right shows where from Robbert captured images to use as overlays for his dubious images.

_______________

Looking rather windswept after some bad weather conditions here in the UK. Some of course state that this crop circle is still an authentic paranormal creation and are trying to convince themselves that the rough look is down to weather conditions.
On the 20th of April I received an email stating that there will be a new crop circle  by the morning so as soon as I could I posted the following comment on RACCF.

By posting such a statement we expected that NO REPORTS would be made as this of course would give the game away and questions would be asked and this crop circle would of course be placed in the  ' THE HOAX ' category - which of course they don't want this kind of information within the community as it lowers the expectations of all the hard core believers out there. On the 20th April conditions were dry with clear skies but the weather forecast for the coming week was daily rain. So it appears that the circle makers took the opportunity to make a crop circle before the change in weather conditions and probably were surprised to see our posting on RACCF - so the order would be not to report it just yet !. I can assure - being in a Rape Seed field with shoulder high stems during or after rain - you will get wet to the skin as the petals and leaf of the plant retains blobs of moisture, so every time you brush past  these stems your clothing and shoes will absorb all the moisture.
A golden rule adopted by crop circle connector  was not to report any crop circles until aerial images are taken - as the whole week was accurately predicted by meteorologists the crop circle  remained unreported as there was no opportunity to fly and capture some aerial shots.
This crop circle was finally discovered on the 28th April 2012 by a crop circle enthusiast  which we believe that it was a genuine discovery but whether this enthusiast was just being observant with every Yellow field they drove past or did our statement prompt them to look harder - this of course is not vitally important but every ounce of information should be taken into account if you consider yourself as a serious researcher .

One other thing which we have noticed that for some reason has not been mentioned by anyone else ( as yet - but I'm sure it will be as the issue has now been raised ) that this latest crop circle at Yarnbury Castle was made in the neighboring field where the 2010 Masonic Key Hole formation was made. This of course is purely for information and record keeping.

The above image has been hidden from view on some Facebook news feeds. WHY ?

Below is a recent posting on Crop Circle Connectors Comments - a primary example of manipulation to influence the unsuspecting seeker of truth.

The above: Screenshot of comments can be seen here :  LINK

And here is what appears to be what an original design may have looked like - released on the same day of reported Crop formation at East Kennett.
And below are some of the comments being said on Crop Circle Connectors Facebook page.

UPDATE:
Below is a statement which we posted on our own FACEBOOK page - by posting this statement we received a verbal attack and we were accused for ' Bad Mouthing ' ( exact term used ) and for providing a link to a discussion which we felt was relevant. In research and investigation we digest everything possible and search for points where certain individuals are clearly misguiding the not so well informed into believing that crop circles are paranormal creations.
The statement below does NOT BAD MOUTH it merely states a FACT where individual researchers HAVE made such comments, comments which are there to refresh the mind, comments which have been easily forgotten and not seen by new believers before.

HAVE YOU HEARD THIS BEFORE !
' If you dont research and investigate then the public shout - ' You should do some research and investigation - wheres the proof - wheres the footage - where are the images ?' GET MY DRIFT ! But when you provide the proof then they say RUBBISH !
FUNNY OLD WORLD WE LIVE IN - perhaps its a process called ' SELECTIVITY ' . Agree only to what seems to apply at the time and ridicule when its likely to influence the high paying price tag public in the wrong direction .

BELOW IS THE STATEMENT AS POSTED ON FACEBOOK

I feel I have to bring back the East Kennett crop circle back into conversation as some pointers have to be addressed and highlighted.
Red Collie created a slide describing the condition of UK's first crop circle. I have to say that the slide was fair and honest which was based on Charles Mallets ground shots. These ground shots clearly display board marks and extensive damage throughout the formation. However Crop Circle Connector have decided not to display such damage within and only show flattened crop with a few bent stems - all these points highlight that individuals are still masking the fact that there WAS HUMAN Involvement.
In 2010 Janet Ossebbard stated that the 2010 Stonehenge formation was clearly man made but then she declared the Sperm and Egg formation an authentic paranormal creation and now she is stating that the East Kennett is a paranormal creation as she has all the experience in the world !!!

And there is this comment made by Steve Alexander:
"For the circle makers it's who we are. For the people who visit the circles the fact how they got there should not matter as it is the fact that they are there that is important. If it was not important the circles would have stopped long ago. Doug is an artist so was chosen as the person to start this whole thing off. Circle makers take some stick but it is them who are driven to do what they do as they have no choice as we all need the circles. After the event the story then can start. The construction is just the beginning! We owe the CM a lot, but to take credit and want some sort of return for their work is wrong as this all has to be done with no return. It must be done in silence. It is who they are for the benefit of all of us,as the time is near.". Steve Alexander - July 2009

On this rare occasion I support Red Collies comments and Charles Mallets ground shots. Thank you

Below are the comments ( screen captured ) as shown in the Facebook link provided in the above statement.

Reading through the above comments - Karen Alexander makes a point about the flattened Canola (Rape Seed ) but then reading Karen's blog on Temporary Temples web site it shows that Karen does know why plants react the way they do. So what is said on FACEBOOK is an indicator of planting a seed in the curious mind to make them think that paranormal forces have brushed this field with their artistic impression.

Below: Screen Captures of comments made.

Also Karen states that there are no other crop circles so far in Canola this season to compare it with - surely being 20 years in the business one would know from previous formations. You decide !

Below; Screen capture showing an example of what Crop Circle Connector want you to see - clearly avoiding you seeing the damage within.

Yarnbury Crop formation was the 3rd to be reported on 16th of May 2010.
I used to have the privilege of receiving information of any new crop circles directly from crop circle connector. I earned this privilege by  providing connector with countless number of images and of course being a believer at the time also helped.
Crop Circle Connector have a system where the regular photographers are informed before it becomes public knowledge so picture perfect images could be taken before coach loads of tourists begun to trample through a crop circle.
On the morning of 16th of May 2010, Mark Fussell from Crop Circle Connector sent me a text message informing me of a brand new crop circle which was discovered by Busty Taylor who conveniently flew directly over this field on a Sunday morning.
Keen as always we set of immediately and headed towards Winterbourne Stoke ( Nr. Stone Henge ).
On arrival within the location of Yarnbury Castle we searched and searched up and down the A303 and almost give up as we could not locate the exact location of this new crop circle so we decided to have a walk around the Yarnbury Castle with hope that we could spot it from an elevated position but still no crop circle could be seen.
As we traveled quite a distance my wife persuaded me to keep looking, she then pointed to a row of trees on the opposite side of the A303 which had Canola Rape Seed in the field so without hesitation we headed straight towards this field.
We parked in a parking area on the A303 right at the edge of the field and immediately we could see how easy it was to miss this field due the row of trees directly in front.
By now rain clouds were approaching so we grabbed our kit and headed towards the beginning of the row of trees. At this point in time we were still on that journey of belief that most crop circles were made by paranormal means .
As we approached the row of trees I spotted a trodden path with cut barred wire in the fencing which instantly raised an eye brow or two but we could not rule out the possibility of someone else beating us to this location but hang on - I spoke to Gary King who tried to find this crop circle and he gave up as he couldn't find it - I then spoke to Mark Fussell and he didn't know where it was exactly ! , so who else was here before us ?

Cut barbed wire fence at the edge of the row of trees.

This path veered to left as we entered the field then we lost track of it a few meters later. Canola in this field was already quite tall so it was difficult to see if there was any crop circles in this field - using my 16ft camera pole I took some elevated random shots from the edge of the field which revealed that there was something there. So we located the appropriate tram line and headed towards the area.
We entered the crop circle at the single off center circle ( The peak of the formation ). Instantly my stomach turned and my heart dropped to the ground. Paul my colleague turned pale with an expression which equaled my own feelings. There was so much damage throughout the entire formation with wonky lines and uneven eyeball in the center. We looked at each other in silence and almost agreed to walk away and let someone else document this rather unfortunate creation but something held me there and said ' You must make it known that this is a man made creation '. It started to rain so I quickly took some photos. 

Rather wet and despondent we left this sorry sight and headed home.
Still rather naive at what was going on in the secret world of crop circles I decided to make a few phone calls and send some text messages  to current know researchers informing them that this crop circle was 100 % man made and stated that it was not worth flying as they would be wasting their money and would be promoting hoaxed formations. What followed took me by surprise and from this point onwards my own research and investigation changed course and foul play was now suspected more than ever !!
Each researcher gave me the cold shoulder and more or less told me to keep my nose out of their business and not to interfere but WHY would such respected people which I looked up to would want to protect something which was clearly man made ? and why did they take such offense towards me informing them the way I did ?.
So I decided to keep calm and collective and waited to see what would happen next - will they fly and take photos - what will they say about it ? - how will they document what I have found ?.
It wasn't long before the first images started to appear on Crop Circle Connector - OK fine they have documented it by recording the event - I accepted this as it gave me confirmation of how bad the formation looked from the air but what took me by surprise what was written by Stuart Dike. ( See below )

Finding the Key. 

When I first heard of this new event at Yarnbury Castle, I was immediately transported back to the early years of Crop Circling, 1991 to be exact! I was only 22 then, and could remember in my ‘giddy excitement’ driving down to this encampment to search for what was the very first formation to appear in that famous year. Unfortunately I was unlucky in finding this event, very much like a number of researchers for this year’s formation. 

They say, History can repeat itself, well obviously this was the third event in 2010, but it was also positioned in the exact same field as the 1991 event, and in the same crop. Back then it was a long Dumbbell design, very simplistic compared with what was to come in later in that year.

Its very hard to spot formations in this area, the A303 makes its quite dangerous in fact, with traffic travelling past at 70 miles an hour, its rather disconcerting.  However this area is steeped in history, with the early settlement positioned across from the formation, and with many other ancient features like Tumuli, and Enclosures. When you stood inside this formation, it wasn’t like standing on well known soil of the area around Avebury. This was something different, something more tangible, mysterious, and silent. 

I have been noticing this year, how the first formations have been fascinatingly connected to each other regarding their alignment. We discussed how the Old Sarum formation had a direct relationship with the Stonehenge design, positioned rather carefully on the edge of an important Ley Line, connecting the two sites. 

It would appear that the Yarnbury Castle design, also has a connection with the other two. Although not a true Triangle, the three formations do create a triangular pattern across the landscape. What is also intriguing is that there is also an alignment (or possible Ley Line) connecting Old Sarum with Yarnbury. This I’m sure is a distinct possibility, as many ancient settlements have an alignment relationship.  Between Old Sarum and Yarnbury Castle, is Stapleford, a small village along the River Till. Here there once stood a medieval Castle with its Earthworks still intact. It resides on the flood plain of the River Till, and is aligned directly with the other two ancient sites. 

Why are we being shown this so soon within the season of 2010?  Perhaps we are drawing closer to understanding the behavior of the phenomenon and its strong connections with the past?  Was it just a strange coincidence that I mentioned about finding the Key to unlock the phenomenon’s secrets in 2010.  This formation at Yarnbury has an uncanny resemblance to a ‘Keyhole’. Perhaps the key is to understand ourselves within this mystery and how we interact with the phenomenon, raising our awareness to potential truths.

Stuart Dike

 And some more .........

This new formation at Yarnbury Castle has some rather fascinating aspects to the design. Certainly a strong connection to Masonic history. On the ground the formation wasn't neat. A lot of breakage, however I have always stated that the phenomenon is not always as perfect as people suggest.

Stuart Dike

The phenomenon is not always perfect HMMM - I think Mr.Dike wanted to say that humans are not always perfect. Not only this Francine Blake and her right hand man said this.

After the announcement that this formation was man made, I finally went to the field 2 days later. What wasn’t my surprise to discover a beautiful formation, carefully laid. After 20 seconds I knew that the formation was a genuine one because all the flowers flattened on the ground were still perfectly alive and very fresh ! Looking in front of me, the two lower corners reserved me quite a beautiful gift. A feature like a bouquet of flower lifted in a sort of column. So far I haven’t seen this in rape seed yet. So, at the contrary of the 2 first formations, here the lay was completely flattened indicating that the formation was just made, and not by man !

I think we have to be careful of our judgment because we don’t know if we are the first person on the scene. That was for me a good lesson which I’d say for me like this: go and see by yourself instead of believing what someone else has said, that can be a mistake sometimes.

Olivier Morel

The comments above clearly displayed that there was foul play and deception and regardless of the origin of the circle they didn't care as it was another image to stick in a calendar and make up fancy tales in order to make you believe that something wonderful has happened ( and this is how I felt at the point where I believed that crop circles were created through paranormal means).
I then decided to speak to Lucy Pringle directly expressing my disappointment at what I have seen and experienced. I have to say it again as a naive believer at the time that a person which I respected and looked up to replied ' I have no opinion on this matter ' . The response said it all but not only this, a few days later Linda Moulton Howe called me from Mexico and told me that she spoke with Lucy Pringle who informed Linda that this formation was indeed man made !!!!!

There are times where I do wish I walked away and said nothing but there again men who say nothing and encourage deception and watch dignity being robbed from spiritual people are simply cowards. 

IF 2012 is about the change of consciousness and awakening then please WAKE UP !!

PEACE.

I keep receiving emails questioning ' What happened at Savernake Forest?' 
As much as I would like to tell the whole story it is with regret that this is the only story where I have decided to remain silent.

At the time of the arrival of Stone Henge crop circle in 2010 we were still split with percentage factors of what was an alien or paranormal or man made creation. At the time we have to admit that Aliens won the vote !. Behind the scenes however there was a chatter of secrecy by well know researchers. Lets just say that from this point onwards they begun to shoot themselves in the foot !.

So the story begins:
It was the afternoon of 8th of May 2010 when Gary King called me to inform me that new crop circle was discovered at Stone henge. Normally we would grab our kit bag and be on our way straight away, but on this day I was already committed to other duties so travel plans were postponed by a few hours.
We arrived at Stone Henge in the early hours of 9th of May - 3am to be precise as we wanted to get the feel of the place during night time and dawn hours - it was pitch black  with a glint of light coming from the quarter moon.
We were approached by Stone Henge security at the perimeter fence who were of course curious to what we were up to. We explained that we were trying to locate a crop circle which was in the area - as you can imagine they had a chuckle and explained that they were not aware of any crop formation or heard or seen anything untoward in the last few days.
So we had a drive and found the only field with Canola directly opposite Stone Henge - we had a quick peak but It was far to dark to see anything clearly  so we waited for dawn to arrive. We parked at the perimeter of Stone Henge at a slightly elevated section just off the A303 - hoping to get sight of this crop circle at first light - so we waited.
It was a frosty May morning when we finally located the 500 foot crop circle - we did however had to stand on the roof of a camper van to get a glimpse of its actual position. Standing on the edge of the field it was not possible to see it fully, maybe you would spot it if you were traveling down the hill of the A303 and were looking out for it.
Eventually we entered the crop formation to find many broken stems and as well many bent stems but my belief at the time ruled out any foul play - this in my mind at the time was not humanly possible to create. To add to my belief in the distant horizon we were greeted by a ball of light which moved position on 2 occasions.

Couple of days later or so Janette Ossebaard declared this crop circle a man made creation - which I have to be honest with you did infuriate me at the time. So I did what I thought was right and defended this creation as a paranormal/alien creation and of course made my feelings quite clear through crop circle connectors web site.
Well - this is the one and only time where I express my apology to Janette as she did in fact get it spot on - stone henge was a man made crop circle.  During the 2010 crop circle season ( Straight after stone henge ) we started to investigate deeper ( much deeper and most of the stories are within theses pages to what we discovered ). Due to our digging we found the animosity pouring in from all sorts of directions - from being the rising name in the crop circle world we took a bashing where stones could have easily been cast by the guardians of  the phenomenon ( meaning the people who had an interest to protect ).
Several weeks later I was surprised to see a post made via Facebook where a statement was made that I had prior knowledge of the appearance of stone henge crop circle . This accusation came from Charles Mallet - Charlie stated that he informed me and Gary King and Janette Ossebard and Bert Jansen to expect a crop circle to be made at stone henge soon ( May 2010 ). Well I can categorically state that Charles NEVER spoke to me about such a forth coming event - if I had prior knowledge I would have been there stalking the field hoping to catch the circle makers at it and report it accordingly or at least I would have released such news into the the public domain.
Charles's knowledge of stone henge crop circle came from Eva Marie Brekestto ( Norwegian researcher who wants me banned from entering Silent Circle Cafe !) . Eva had a text conversation with a crop circle maker who informed her that a crop circle would be made at stone henge soon. So Eva shared this news with Charles and his entourage but Charles did not share this info with me.
The moral of this story is : As Charles and his clicky friends were fully aware that there was going to  be a man made crop circle at Stone Henge then why the hell didn't he or the ones that knew inform you the public of such an event. NO they didn't inform you as they didn't want you to know, they wanted you to continue to believe that some paranormal event took place.
Now we know why there is a ' SILENT CIRCLE ' in Wiltshire !!!!!!!
Perhaps Charles should change his Silent Circle logo to the three wise monkeys !!!

Below are some images which we managed to take before the farmer ushered us out of his field.

Below is a BBC article published 12th of August 2004

Crop pattern sparks fresh debate
By Neil Leighton
BBC News Online

An elaborate pattern in flattened crops in a Wiltshire field has sparked fresh debate over one of rural Britain's most perplexing mysteries - crop circles.
The formation, thought to be as long as a football pitch, appeared in a field near Silbury Hill over two nights at the beginning of August.
Some say the pattern is made by mysterious forces and features symbols from the ancient Mayan civilization which mark the beginning of a new world order.
Others believe it is made by commercially-minded 'landscape artists'. The only 'new order', these skeptics say, will be from publishers wanting photographs of the design.
So who is right? Is it possible that someone or thing is trying to communicate with us using imagery from a culture more than 1,000 years old.
'A new era'
Or is this just the latest example of landscape art that will be displayed on the pages of books and glossy magazines?
Francine Blake, a crop circle expert from Wiltshire, believes the crop formation indicates the world is going to change dramatically.
"The Moon has a cycle around the Earth, the Earth has a cycle around the Sun, the Solar System has a cycle in the Milky Way," Ms Blake says.
"That [the galaxy cycle] takes 26,000 years, and this particular calendar is coming to the end of that cycle.
"That long cycle ends in 2012 - it's the end of a cycle, the end of a time. A new era is starting for the solar system."
Ms Blake likens the changes ahead to that of the fall of some of the great empires.
"Just like the era for the Romans stopped and something else started, we are going from era to era and this is the end of one of them," she said.
Crop circles have become a common sight in Britain since the 1970s, when they began to appear in significant numbers in fields, mainly in the south of England.
There is widespread debate over when the first crop circle appeared. Some experts say the first sighting was in Lyon in 815AD.
Others refer to a 17th Century legend called the 'Mowing of the Devil', when a devilish entity visited a farmer's field and trampled down the crops in a circle.
Modern day incidents range from simple circles of flattened crops, to intricate patterns and complex shapes, similar to the one at Silbury Hill
Scientists have examined grain stalks and soil inside circles and found anomalies. For example, they say they have found more magnetic iron compounds in soil inside the circles than outside.
But Ray Cox, chairman of the Center for Crop Circle Studies, says all but the most simple patterns are created by humans.
"We started out studying the subject from a scientific angle - and there is still a mystery," he said.
"We still don't know their origin. They go back in decades, centuries, but these have been simple round circles, maybe with a ring round them.
"You didn't get the elaborate ones in years gone by. These have only happened since the 1980s."
Mr Cox puts the Wiltshire design down to the work of crop circlers or landscape artists.
And it appears it is not a case of just sneaking out into the local farmer's field armed with planks of wood, rope, and rollers to create this 'art'.
Some crop circlers are far more sophisticated, and more commercially minded, even using computers to design their intricate patterns.
Such is the excitement and enthusiasm for these swirls, whorls and Mayan features, that genuine crop circles often get overlooked, the chairman said.
"You don't get many these days," Mr Cox said.
"There is no point photographing these simple circles because the big and pretty patterns look better and are more saleable as posters, calendars, books and postcards."
Mark Fussell, who runs the Crop Circle Connector website and makes DVDs of crop circles, believes whatever the cause, the designs should be appreciated as works of art.
"There have been ones that are better - there was an 'alien disc' two years ago," he said.
"There have always been really good ones each season.
"These circles are much better than some of the junk in the Tate - some of the stuff they call 'art'."
'Unfair and irresponsible'
Art or a mysterious forces? It seems after two decades of ever more sophisticated designs, the crop circle community remains divided over this rural 'phenomenon'.
But throughout the debate, there is one point on which everyone agrees: these elaborate patterns can be a dramatic and fascinating addition to the natural landscape.
Everyone, that is, except the farmers whose crops are crushed to make the circles.
"Creating crop circles is akin to trampling over someone's back garden," a National Farmers' Union spokesperson said.
"It is unfair and irresponsible. Crop circlers seem to forget that they are damaging someone else's property and there are financial implications."

Can the circle makers impress us all with some stunning designs like in previous years ? .
We have been informed that there are some special designs coming your way.
