Then there is the next question: how do we know the plasma vortex is electrically charged and magnetic in nature, and that it emits microwave-like energy? We know this due to the traces of electricity, magnetism and some sort of microwaves that we find in crop circle plants.

Let's start with the electricity. By means of a Redox test one can measure the amount of free radicals in the cells of crop circle plants. The more free radicals, the more stress the plants have suffered. The cells of crop circle plants contain huge amounts of free radicals; so many, the plants should actually have died! Therefore one can deduct that the crop is exposed to intense electrical pulses the moment the vortex hits the earth.

But the free radicals are not the only ones who give the electricity away. There are also unusual germination and growth patterns of crop circle plants that point in the direction of electrical pulses. (More about this in Anomalies).

And there is yet another indication for the presence of electricity. As explained at "What is the scientific opinion about crop circles?", physicist Dr. Eltjo Haselhoff proved that the crop circles he examined had been made by electromagnetic point sources. He discovered this due to the anomalies he found in the nodes of crop circle plants. The energy distribution he found in crop circles matched 100% with the energy distribution of an electromagnetic point source (like a light bulb).

Then there is the magnetic nature of the vortex; what kind of traces does this leave behind? Once again: see Dr. Haselhoff's findings about the electromagnetic point sources. And once again: the unusually high magnetite concentrations. The only explanation for the high concentrations of magnetite is that the plasma vortex is extremely magnetic in nature, that it sucks in all the magnetite from its surroundings, after which it drags it towards the earth's surface.
