On 20th August 2001, a new crop formation was found in a field at Wherwell, a village near Andover, Hampshire. It included the image of a huge face, made from isolated clumps of standing wheat like half-tone printing dots or computer pixels. Paul Vigay, computer expert, identified and decoded the mysterious script, which was, or pretended to be - a communication from space. In this book, John Michell investigates this extraordinary phenomenon. There are many in the establishment who wish that these crop formations would stop apppearing, but could these latest ones be the clearest evidence so far of extraterrestrial communication?
