Applying that principle to crop circles, Ruby began with the simplest formations from 1990 and discovered they are meant to be cut out, mounted on a shaft, and spun. When rotated at specific speeds, interrupted rings become whole, flat patterns transform into three-dimensional objects, and assembled pictograms reveal the structure of a disc-shaped craft complete with visible energy fields. He describes building a spinning device from a fan motor and rheostat to test progressively complex formations, finding that each crop circle season adds new components to what amounts to an engineering blueprint.
Richard C. Hoagland calls in to validate the breakthrough, noting that the same sacred geometry numbers found in the Cydonia ruins on Mars appear in crop circle measurements. Ruby explains that the later formations provide instructions for a power plant operating on tachyon or zero-point energy, requiring no fuel whatsoever. He views the entire phenomenon as a patient, respectful gift from an advanced intelligence, gradually raising human consciousness one formation at a time.
Key Moments
Listener fax arrives an hour before air with a fresh Stonehenge formation: Art reads a fax from Deborah in Santa Barbara that arrived the morning of the show: a brand-new aerial photograph of a crop formation at Stonehenge, posted to the Crop Circle Connector site within the past hour or so. The words she sent: Tree of Life. Bell links to it on his site as the show begins, just hours after Ruby was booked for entirely separate reasons.
Six sides, six spokes - iron dust and 16 magnets: Ruby describes the Stonehenge formation: a circle with six interior sides and six spokes radiating from the center in a crystalline pattern. He says it's a specific harmonic - drop iron dust into a 15-inch metal pan, place 16 magnets beneath it in geometric arrangement, and at the right harmonic frequency the dust will form exactly that pattern. The crop circle, he claims, is part of the spaceship's power plant.
Box, fan motor, ball bearings - 80 to 300 RPM: Ruby describes the actual hardware: a wooden box with an electric fan motor mounted in the bottom, plastic tubing on the shaft, ball bearings set into a hole drilled in the top, a dowel inserted through them, and a fan rheostat to vary speed. The crop circles spin between roughly 80 and 300 RPM. Cardboard models flew apart at higher speeds, so he switched to wood.
Alton Barnes pictogram becomes a three-dimensional ship when spun: Ruby walks through the 1990 Alton Barnes pictogram - three circles along a long shaft, the middle one largest. He glued it to cardboard, rotated each circle 90 degrees on the shaft, and after a near-identical Crawley formation appeared with four extra vertical lines, he added those as spacers. Spinning the assembled model on his homemade fan-rheostat rig, the flat pictogram went three-dimensional and resolved into a small ship.
