American crop circle researcher Ron Russell shot this bizarre slide in July 1993 at Ogbourne St. George (Wiltshire, UK). The slide (that is supposed to be 'positive') showed an anomaly that no expert could explain or had ever seen before: the top half of the slide is positive, but the bottom part is negative. A technical impossibility!

In this formation at Barbury Castle in 1999, my reflex camera (that normally does not have any whimps or exposure problems) indicated that there was not enough light to take the photograph without using a flah. However it was a bright, sunny day and nothing seemed to be wrong with the batteries. Therefore, I decided to take the photograph without using the flash. This was the result...

I had a similar problem - also in 1999 - in the Origami formation at Beckhampton (Wiltshire, UK). My camera indicated there was no light at all. Once again, it was a bright, sunny day... Naturally, I did take the photograph. The remarkable thing was that this problem only arose on one particular spot in the formation. There were no exposure problems whatsoever anywhere else in the formation...

... except in a continuation of the 'problem spot'. Just outside the formation in a tramline, I picked up some of the interference.
