| As far as is
known Robbert van den Broeke, a young Dutchman who lives in
the southern Netherlands' village of Hoeven, is singular in
his ability to consistently and accurately predict the appearance
of new crop formations in his general vicinity. Now 28 years
old (2008), he has since early adolescence experienced "visions"
which contain both the location and the design of the new
crop circle—accompanied by a clear sense that the new formation
is either occurring at that precise moment or that it will
occur soon. In the days just prior to these experiences he
generally feels a build-up of physical and/or mental "angst"
(nervousness and tension) which dissipates once the crop circle
has actually formed.
Over the years he has also visually
witnessed quite a few crop circles forming, these circles
usually accompanied by unusual light phenomena—although not
the same light anomalies in each instance. In both daytime
and at night he has observed single or multiple spheres of
bright white or yellowish light hovering over a field (frequently
the one that is directly behind his home), under which the
plants suddenly flatten into a crop circle. Sometimes he simply
sees a flash, or multiple flashes, of light, after which new
circles or formations of circles are seen in the field.

In several cases he has witnessed highly energetic
tubes of light descend to the crop surface, resulting in a
new formation; for report on one instance of this, see:
http://www.bltresearch.com/eyewitness/eyewitness1.html
In another very dramatic instance, he watched
one night as a "pinkish-purple" football-shaped light flew
in down low over the field, subsequently becomming stationary,
then elongating into a pinkish-purple disc-shaped light from
which a visible "energy" descended down to the crop surface,
resulting in a new circle.
Many of the crop circles which he has either
sensed or visually observed occurring have been plain circles
or fairly simple groupings of different-sized circles, but
many of the formations have been considerably more complex
in overall "design." They regularly appear in a wide range
of plants, including grasses, wheat, corn (maize), spinach,
string-beans and many other crops, often arriving as early
in the growing season as April and as late as November. There
have also been several snow circles found in winter, out in
the field behind Robbert's home.

Since 2005-06 he reports with increasing frequency
the direct involvement of solid-looking "UFO-like" objects
(which he either observes visually or "sees" in his mind's
eye) present during the creation of crop circles. See report
of a March, 2007 incident:
http://www.bltesearch.com/robbert/hoeven2007cc.html
He also states that he increasingly experiences
both a "UFO" energy (a vibrant, intense sort of feeling) and
a "Mary" energy (also intense, but gentle and very loving)
as being present—both at the time when specific crop circles
are forming and afterwards, when he visits the new formations
in the fields:

In addition to Robbert's unique recognition
of the presence of these unidentified energies which are apparently
present just before and during the appearance of crop circles
(and often remnant afterwards in the fields), Robbert increasingly
exhibits other highly unusual sensitivities. He has become
known in Holland as a "medium" of considerable ability (a
person with enhanced psychic talent) and now regularly sees
clients who have requested healing sessions and/or "readings"
(for which there are long waiting lists).
This ability to somehow "know" a very wide variety
of highly personal facts about anyone can be startling, but
I see that he cannot always stop this information from surfacing
in his mind's eye. One afternoon at his home I was brushing
my teeth in the upstairs wash-room and experienced this situation
personally. I had left the door open and Robbert walked by,
on his way downstairs. He stopped suddenly and asked me if
I had any false teeth? He and I had never discussed such things
before and he had no way of knowing that I have for many years
had a partial dental bridge (which is semi-permanent and cemented
in place). I'm sure the only reason he became aware of it
on this occasion was because--for just that instant—his attention,
his focus, was drawn to my teeth.
In the spring of 2008 I visited Holland during
Easter. Because Robbert has little interest in most material
possessions I have rarely thought to bring him a present,
but just before this trip I had a sudden urge to bring him
an Easter basket. Not knowing for sure whether the Dutch even
knew about Easter baskets, I hand-carried a wicker basket,
the yellow cellulose stuff one puts inside, ribbons, a chocolate
Easter Bunny, multiple Easter eggs and jelly-beans, and several
of the almost-fluorescent yellow marshmellow chickens my family
has always called "peeps," and which my mother had regularly
included in my Easter baskets when I was a child.
Upon arriving in Hoeven I immediately hid all
of this material, since I wanted to surprise Robbert on Easter
morning. I couldn't stop myself from telling him that I had
brought him a present--about which he was curious--but we
got involved in other things and he apparently forgot about
it. A few afternoons later Robbert came into my room and asked,
again, what this present was. Enjoying his curiosity I coyly
stated that he had to "wait until Easter," forgetting entirely
that it was Robbert I was dealing with. He, not in the least
deterred, sat down at my little desk, focused himself for
just a few seconds and then, picking up my pen, drew the sketch
below. As is apparent, he "saw" even the little yellow "peeps"
with their dark black eyes.

I think it is this same mechanism which provides
Robbert with the information about the lives of his clients
and which also lets him immediately recognize whether a new
crop circle (in Holland or elsewhere) is "the real McCoy."
All it takes is a moment of focus, a second or two of him
paying attention….and the information floods in.
____________
Over the years events around Robbert have included
many which are generally labeled variously as "psychic" or
"poltergeist" situations, "out-of-body" experiences, "remote
viewing," physical "translocation," "lucid dreaming," and
"UFO" and/or "ET" encounters--and are documented with thousands
of highly unusual photographs. A vast library of anomalous
light phenomena photographs will be illustrated in our next
report and, in another in-progress piece, some of his more
recent photographs--which show people who are known to have
died--will be presented and discussed.
It's clear that a book about Robbert, in English,
is needed and I've begun to work on it. I hope it doesn't
take me too long to get it written and out to the public.
In the meantime multiple BLT reports which have already been
written about Robbert—describing some of his crop circle experiences
and other remarkable events which continue to occur around
him—are all now collected in this section of the BLT Research
Team's web-site. Other reports will also be added as events
unfold and time permits.
These reports are listed below with the most
recent one first. |
