As you know if you've listened to very many of Art Bell's shows, listeners often fax or email him pictures of a variety of things. Art posted most of this content to his website in one form or another. Some of these have been lost to time, but whatever I can recover will be restored here on RadioRaider.com.
I have updated links and images wherever possible.

We are the only American web site to have access and permission to display these images. Please visit the various links below for detailed reports.

Logan, Utah
(courtesy Salt Lake Tribune)
This design is 240 feet long - It was found on Friday - August 23rd by an 81 year old farmer in Logan, Utah on his wheat farm. His name is Seth Alder - while harvesting his wheat crop - his tractor broke down - so he began walking out of the field for help and came across this strange glyph. He contacted the Cache County sheriff's office and an investigation was begun. The local airport in Logan sent a plane over the field and picture/video cameras were used to capture this unusual glyph. After the investigation was completed - it was decided that it was made about a month earlier - when the wheat stocks were still green. One sheriff deputy said that maybe it was the work of gophers. There was no sign of anyone having walked in the field - as no wheat was found to be broken or stepped on - any place around the glyph.
UPDATE: The scientific findings do suggest the formation was not human-caused. Here is more information on the Providence Utah Circle.
Stonehenge, Nr Amesbury
An aerial shot by Steve Alexander. Perhaps two days old when discovered 10th June, this 400 footer is in the same field South of Stonehenge as the first Julia Set (in 1996). With 194 circles, it ties last year`s Triple Julia Set for the record number. Complete Update at Crop Circle Connector.

The Windmill Hill, Wiltshire crop circle near Yatesbury.Windmill Hill, Nr Yatesbury, Wiltshire
Here we have a diagram and aerial photo of this crop circle. More information is available from the Crop Circle Connector Site
Butte, Nebraska
The scan is a little weak, but you can make it out. I think us Americans need to learn a little about crop circles. Why does the UK get all the good ones?
Double Helix
This spectacular formation arrived June 17th in the famous East Field at Alton Barnes (SU 115-625) pointing at Adam's Grave to the North and Woodborough Hill to the South. It measures 648 feet long, and consists of 89 circles forming twin strands of "thought bubbles" (77 total) winding around a central backbone of 12 large circles in a line. Everyone who see it agrees that the design must represent DNA.
The Stonehenge Circles
Ground Level Photos and more information about this circle is available at the Crop Circle Connector Site
The images for the circles below are broken so far. I'll see what I can find or what I come across in the future.
Strange Attraction
Its made from a simple triangle section, which creates the central portion of the design. Around its perimeter has the star segments seen on the bigger designs at Silbury and Milk Hill. More information available on the Crop Circle Connector page.
KOCH SNOWFLAKE 2
August 8th, below Milk Hill at Alton Barnes, 200 feet, wheat. Very Similar to the earlier Silbury Hill formation, except the interior of this one has standing crop with an inward-facing fractal pattern. And, I estimate there are 204 circles - a new record. More information available on the Crop Circle Connector page.
Koch Snowflake, Silbury Hill
Situated to the northern side of Silbury Hill, towards Avebury is a representation on a Koch Snowflake, or a Fractal Star of David. These are accurate explanation to what the design is. It consisted of 126 circles (Including Central Circle) and with three circles on each of the star triangular sections. They are placed around the perimeter of the formation, with two different sizes of circles on each side of the triangles. More information available on the Crop Circle Connector page.
Morestead, Nr Winchester, Hampshire.
Located within the village of Morestead, some 5 miles south east of the town of Winchester is this very well defined formation resembling a Maltese Cross design, or more comical respresentation of the Batman symbol. More information available on the Crop Circle Connector page.
HenWood Down (The Ant)
Situated within the Meon Valley close to the village of West Meon, is what can be described as an insect type design, some calling The Ant. Field report by the Crop Circle Connector.
Backyard, USA
