While this book has tended to concentrate on events in the United Kingdom, some of the most significant circles events have happened elsewhere in the world. This chapter looks at some of them, starting with a return to the beginning of the story. Australia banana farmer, George Pedley. Although the case has been reported in countless UFO books since, much new material was uncovered and published in The Crop Watcher, showing that this was only part of a much larger catalogue of events. In addition to the 9 metre (30 foot) circle found immediately following the UFO sighting, a further six 'nests' were discovered. The first 'nest' followed a spate of UFO Sightings in the area and a local researcher, Claire Noble, has recorded as many as 86 circular markings between 1965 and 1992. The local aboriginal legends recognize the occurrence of lights in the sky, which they attribute to an ancestral spirit known as Chic-ah-Bunnah. This appears to be one of the longest running cases where aerial light forms have been observed, circular ground traces have been found and, importantly, it pre-dates by some years the earliest date that has been claimed for man-made circles. All the circles reported from the Tully area have been small simple events and Australia does not seem to have had many occurrences of the kind of large complex shapes familiar in Europe. Canada Another country which has a long history, pre-dating the UK outbreak, is Canada. An event in Regina, Saskatchewan in 1974 has parallels with the Tully case. A farmer was working in an oil seed rape field when he saw what he, initially, took to be a hunter's hide. When he approached it appeared to be a revolving hemisphere with the appearance of stainless steel. He observed that the vegetation beneath was moving and turning. As he returned, in a state of some shock, to his tractor he realized that there were four similar objects. He continued to observe them for about 15 minutes until they lifted off vertically, leaving a grey vapour. When he inspected the area over which they had hovered, he discovered that there were ring markings of flattened grass, of about 3. 5 metres (11 feet) in diameter, with standing grass in the centre. Circles have continued in Canada, with at least 14 reports in 1998. Much work has been done on the Canadian circles by Chris Rutkowski, who has compiled an impressive database, with much assistance from Ted Philips' Physical Trace Catalogue. This is a massive listing compiled at the end of the 1970s by the Centre for UFO studies, covering both the United States and Canada. Whilst caution dictates that a proportion of these will be UFO hoaxes, there is nevertheless good evidence here for a phenomenon dating back to 1920. Of the 407 cases analysed by Paul Fuller in 1994, more than a third involved flattened circles or rings in vegetation, either 10. Circles Worldwide Chapter 1 described the Australian event known as the Tully circles, which were found in 1966, by a natural or cultivated. United States
