CROP CIRCLES SIGHTING UP IN CANADA, DOWN IN U.S.

VANCOUVER, B.C. (Wireless Flash) -- It looks like Canada and England got the cream of the crop circles last year. According to Vancouver-based crop circle researcher Paul Anderson, there was a 50 percent increase in crop circle sightings in England in 1999 and a 33 percent increase in Canada. Meanwhile, the United States had only 12 crop circles, down from 15 in 1998. Israel, which had never had a crop circle before 1997, had three sightings in 1999. Anderson says it's normal for crop circle sightings to fluctuate around the world and he hopes further research will uncover the reason.
