June 8th-15th 2003: Nervesa della Battaglia (Turin)

crop circle Nervesa

(We apologize for possible errors in the translation)

In the second week of June 2003 it is discovered in Nervesa della Battaglia (Treviso) a crop circle that resembles to a rotating blade, formed by a circle of 20 meters diameter and 6 tentacles, everyone of them made of by 4 smaller circles. The circle is discovered by Joseph Piccolo, of the aeroclub "Ali sul Montello of Volpago", while overflying the zone. The newspaper "La Tribuna di Treviso” publish an article on this event, by Michele Modesto, on June 17th. Let's read it.

NERVESA. The signs of the landing of a spaceship, the mega-stamp of an astral rite or, more simply, the scenographic work of a group of jokers? Each, experienced or not about UFOs, shall give an answer to the discovery sort in the last days in the country of Nervesa. In a field of bowline, arond the second week of June, an enormous geometric figure has been noticed, precisely drawn through the crushing of the plants. The sketch is made of a central circle of around 20 meters diameter, from which depart 6 tentacles, each one made of other 4 smaller circles, that decrease in measure while they go toward the outside. To give an interepretation to the figure is not easy: perhaps a sun, a galaxy, a crab or a rotating blade of an "interstellar warrior"?. [...]
A few days later, on June 15th, “La Tribuna di Treviso” is again on the case with a new article: “Nervesa, Capital of the ufologists”:
[...] The ufologists that go to pilgrimage in Nervesa since two weeks, they all think that it is one of the best crop circles ever discovered in Italy. Perfect in the proportions, exemplary as location (among two lines of high-voltage and on a ground with a subsoil containing water, therefore an ideal energetic place for the disembarck of extraterrestrials) and seductive in the image, similar to a sun with bent rays. However it is not excluded it could be a figure related to the zodiac sign of the Cancer, or to a galaxy. But now, more than the great dimensions, the researchers of the C.U.N. are interested in a find it is a find, just few millimeters long: a bug, maybe a bee, found charred inside one of the circles printed in the bowline of Nervesa, during an investigation happened Sunday morning. Have also been made some measurements on the ground: a slightly anomalous magnetic field really exists. «We will analyze the bug in the laboratory - explains Maurizio Caruso of the Cun - It is necessary to verify what type of energy has reduced it in such condition. I believe that the image of Nervesa is so perfect to believe impossible to be realized by people. If so, they would probably have had to possess military and high technology tools, as the laser. I would discard this hypothesis».
Judging by the images however - it is written in the journal Heramagine - this crop seems to be a forgery, being the whole sketch, seen from above, full of defects and mistakes in its geometric relationships. Against any ufological theory is also the website Mosac.com, according to which the whole clamor created around the case of Nervesa simply hides economic affairs, like tourist promotion of the zone and things like that.
A few months later the case “Nervesa” is again under the spotlight, because the Mexican researcher Carlos Diaz releases some declarations: “they are authentic”. The nespaper "Il Gazzettino OnLine" make an interview to C. Diaz, on October 26 th 2003. The article is signature of Laura Bon.
«The ear in the circle of wheat appeared in Nervesa has been analyzed to the optic microscope - it is the concept expressed by Diaz. Considering that it was altered in comparison to the ears outside, without doubt, ew have to say that Nervesa is an authentic case». Music, obviously, for the ears of all the impassioned. Meanwhile, the crop circle of Nervesa could also end soon in a book. «We are trying - explains the alderman to the culture, Max Bolzonello - to insert them in a book that the ufologist Antonio Chiumiento is realizing».
Some few days and the polemic becomes larger, involving even the institutions of Nervesa. We still read from The "Gazzettino On Line" of November 4 th 2003, an article of Laura Bon.
According to someone, behind the "circles in the wheat" it would hide the ghost of the sects. But the alderman Bolzonello denies. The chatter was circulating, in country, since a few weeks. It was rumored about an intervention of the Church, alarmed by a possible collusion of Diazwith the sects. Now, after ten days from the appointment with Carlos Diaz, that "chatter" becomes something more, because the ex mayor Francesco Tartini and the ex deputy Sandro Fontebasso have notified an official interrogation to Max Bolzonello, the alderman of department. "In my opinion - replies Bolzonello - they are bother of the fact that 700 persones, in an only evening, gathered togheter to see the Carlos Diaz Conference. They have tried to do the same with their meetings,but have never succeeded. We have not received any pressure by the ecclesiastical authority; we are in contact with the chairmane; now he's busy, but soon will come to Nervesa."
