Two Crop-Circle Experts Die Within Hours Of Each Other

The crop circle community has been left stunned after two of its
leading lights died within hours of each other.

Dorset investigator and conference organiser David Kingston
passed away last week after a year-long battle with cancer.

Meanwhile, the body of crop circle investigator Paul Vigay was
found on the Hampshire coast at Southsea.

Mr Kingston was a prominent organiser in the crop circle and UFO
research fields, running one of the biggest website and holding
a prominent annual conference in Dorchester.

The 70-year-old began full-time UFO research in 1976 and began
investigating crop circles in the late 1980s. The Dorchester
conferences began in the mid 1990s, after he started lecturing
on UFOs, crop circles and conspiracy theories.

The conferences scheduled for this spring and summer were
cancelled when Mr Kingston's health took a turn for the worse
recently.

Fellow researcher and friend David Haith said: "His wife Mary
and his family were at his bedside.

"He was a tireless worker for truth and through his website,
conferences and lectures, encouraged a great number of people to
go on their own explorations of the mysteries of the universe.

"Now David is en route to uncovering one of the greatest
mysteries of all and we wish him a fond bon voyage on his last
great journey," he added.

Mr Kingston, from Weymouth, said he first saw UFOs while serving
with the RAF all over the world, and found his true calling when
links were made between the new phenomenon of crop circles and
UFOs in the late 1980s.

His conferences hosted lectures by the world's most prominent
experts on UFOs and crop circles, including the British
Government's former UFO investigator Nick Pope and Troggs
frontman Reg Presley.

Another to have lectured at the Dorchester spring conferences
was Paul Vigay, a mathematician and computer expert who became
one of the leading lights of the crop circle world.

His body was found on the shore at Southsea, near Portsmouth,
last Thursday =96 police say the circumstances surrounding his
death are not suspicious.

Mr Vigay, 44, was well known in the fields of Wiltshire and
renowned among crop circle devotees as an expert at decoding the
hidden meanings in crop circle patterns. "Paul was one of the
brightest stars in the crop circle universe," said circle
photographer and researcher Lucy Pringle.

"A talented mathematician, computer technician and a maker of
electronic gadgets, he was one of the first researchers into the
crop circle phenomenon in the early 1990s, where his talents
were quickly recognised.

"He had an exceptional gift for investigation and often led the
field in deciphering the mathematical aspects found in certain
crop circles. He was amazingly articulate and he had a rare
knack of being able to explain technical details in the simplest
language. He has made a major contribution to the subject and
his place will not be easily filled," she added.

Mr Vigay's friend of 23 years Claire Diestler, 39, from
Bedhampton, said she visited him for a cup of coffee last
Tuesday. She said: "He was absolutely fine, that's why I am so
shocked. There was absolutely no indication that anything was
wrong. In fact he was quite jokey. We all feel a bit guilty
having seen him.

"We are all worried we did not pick up on something.'

Mrs Diestler added: "He was really interested in UFOs and
anything a bit unusual like crop circles.

"He used to go to Wiltshire quite a lot to take photographs of
them. He was really popular and had a lot of friends. He was
very funny and we always had some great laughs," she said.
