We report the unusual discovery of a natural iron "glaze" composed
of fused particles of meteoritic origin, concentrated entirely within
a crop formation in England, appearing shortly after the intense Perseid
meteor shower in August, 1993. Physical and chemical characteristics
as well as spatial distributions indicated reheating to a semi-molten
state at the time of crop impact, suggesting involvement with an ion
plasma vortex, a mechanism previously considered the chief candidate
in scientific investigations of crop formations. Abnormalities in seedling
growth was also consistent with the unusual responses of seeds taken
from numerous crop formations.
