- John A. Burke, the "B" in "BLT Research
Team Inc." and a native of Oyster Bay, Long Island, New York, has
died at the age of 58. An inspired and tireless advocate for the likelihood
that natural (although currently undiscovered) forces are involved in the
crop circle phenomenon, John carried out a considerable volume of new
research during the 1990s, very much "behind the scenes."
-
- In 1995 he co-authored the peer-reviewed paper "Semi-Molten
Meteoric Iron Associated with a Crop Formation" (J. Sci. Exploration)
which presented evidence that
- molten iron-rich deposits discovered in a 1993 crop circle
had been produced when meteoric dust, heated through interaction with a
descending plasma vortex, had impacted the field.
-
- In conjunction with his crop circle work with Michigan
biophysicist W.C. Levengood John was instrumental in developing the "MIR
Stressguard" process, a technique which replicated the BLT Team's
discovery that seeds taken from crop circles which had occurred in mature
plants grew both faster than normal and also produced increased yield while
simultaneously withstanding typical plant stressors. Years of attempts
by John to bring this technology to the world's seed companies failed,
because the financial profits which could be anticipated were less than
those garnered by the current, genetic, approach.
-
- During the last 10 years John had pursued multiple other
interests and in 2005 he and colleague Kaj Halberg published their ground-breaking
book "Seed of Knowledge, Stone of Plenty" which presented evidence
that naturally-occuring earth energies had been not only recognized, but
utilized, by the ancient megalith builders in multiple cultures around
the world. Reviewed by Boston University geologist Robert M. Schoch, the
book was praised as "utterly fascinating" and a new "approach
to understanding the mysteries of ancient megalithic structures."
-
- Most recently John had been working on a method to calibrate
pain levels so that medical professionals could more accurately provide
relief of suffering. Animal trials had been found effective and testing
with humans was being planned.
-
- John, who had been long divorced, is survived by four
sisters and one brother, all of whom were with him when he died. John
was a pioneer.and I will miss him very much, too.
