internos you even replied using almost the same post, lol.

Three counted from the road and lastly the silver plate at the first circle, which is formed as a sickle. There were people present witnessing all this; he drove home - as the saying goes, for his whereabouts and identity have not been disclosed – cleaning the plates, and later, on impulse or with selling in mind – he (must have) split the gold plate in half. At least that's what he told the man who bought the two and a half plates, a man who prefers anonymity; he is described as a man of considerable wealth and of high position, as an industrialist; nevertheless he had two of the plates, the bronze and the silver ones, analysed on a number of occasions, first at a private jeweller's, then at the German Technical Institute's department for research in metallurgy in Berlin.

Where are the plates, then, is the obvious question; they are still in the possession of this industrialist, one must assume, photos do exist, something he did not object to, either, especially of the bronze and silver ones. The gold plate remains the biggest mystery of the three; it has not been analysed and a photo show only half of it. The mystery being that all three plates, including the gold plate, as far as photos show, bear engravings, elevations representing miniatures of the actual crop circle, the bronze and silver plates being both 23 cm in circumference weighing three and half and five kilos respectively. The bronze plate furthermore has several hollows placed in distances clearly suggesting a heaven of fixed stars. The gold plate is 18 cm and weighs seven or eight kilos

The value of the plates' materials in itself has been estimated at 200.000 DM, ca. 125.000 Euro. The industrialist is quoted as saying he would pay any price, and, it is said, he has paid more
