In
recent years, The Troggs' frontman, Reg Presley has become as well
known for his obsession with crop circles as for penning evergreen
pop hits like 'Love Is All Around' and 'With a Girl Like You'.
Indeed,
in 1994 when Wet Wet Wet spent a whopping 15 weeks at number one
with their cover of 'Love Is All Around', Reg famously joked that
on receipt of the imminent royalties, he'd finally be able to devote
all his time to investigating the mysterious field formations.
Reg's
interest in the paranormal was piqued one summer's day in 1990 when
he walked into a crop formation at Alton Barnes in Marlborough.
His life was changed forever.

A
Crop Circle, yesterday.

Through
subsequent meetings with Crop Circle and UFO investigators, eyewitnesses,
military personnel, scientists, astronomers and astronauts, Reg
was to discover a world beyond anything he had ever imagined.
The
following years were spent researching Crop Circles, conspiracies
and unexplained phenomena. He even found time to make an appearance
in forthcoming Crop Circle movie 'A Place To Stay'.
Reg
has finally documented his findings in his first book 'Wild Things
They Don't Tell Us'.
Just
some of the many questions the book attempts to draw a line under
include:
Did
we see the first real alien in the infamous autopsy footage or
was it all a hoax?
Was
Einstein right when he said nothing travels faster than light?
Did
mankind walk with the dinosaurs?
Why
does the church not want us to know what 666 really means?
Was
there more than one UFO crash at Roswell?
Reg
visited the Radio Wiltshire and Swindon studios in November 2002
to publicise the book and discuss his findings with Afternoon Show
presenter Graham Seaman.
