Here is a curious bit of information which I not seen before. I quote an email I received today. There is more infomatio at the link inbedded Roswell Rock.
Anyone Recall the UFO crash site in Roswell New Mexico in 1947 that the government never said never happened? A stone was found at the site and the following was reported recently by someone who saw a similarity between it and a crop circle made in England in 1996.
"I thought I would try a little visual experiment to find out exactly how closely the Roswell Rock pattern matches the Chisledon crop circle made in England in 1996. So I corrected the perspective angle of the crop circle aerial photo so that it was flat and superimposed it over the rock. The match is more than just exact, it's astonishing!"
--Rocky Berlier
Berry, that's a fascinating snippet. Could you try again to post the photo of the rock?

Dave, I have tried numerous time to insert another picture of the rock but cant do it now. Here is the original that I inserted the first time.
The rock is the image on the left, the crop circle is on the right.
Ah I got an image from another site. Hope this suffices. I think this is an amazing story and I don't think it is a hoax. I doubt that an auto mechanic from mid New Mexico would be familiar with the many crop circles and wouldn't have the skill to create the rock from scratch.

Thank you for sharing this!

that weighs 50.78 grams, measured on July 15, 2008, in Physical Sciences Department at
Eastern New Mexico University. The carved rock was found by Roswell auto repairman,
Robert Ridge, 50, during his September 4, 2004, deer hunting trip near Capitan,
New Mexico, 17 miles southeast from the July 1947 UFO crash site between Corona
and Roswell. Image by Robert Ridge. Right: Wheat formation, 120 feet long,

oh, and 2004 sure seems to be a busy year for ET phenomena and erudite lectures! Coincidence or not, it sure feels like a big bull horn set on blast in my ear wake up call to this planet!!!!!

"Is there anybody out there!"
I also did a little rooting around and found the pics you posted. Here's an interesting page on analysis on the rock.

This video loosely fits here and I will be posting it on as many relative forums as possible as we must continue to familiarize ourselves intimately with the sacred geometry that is the vehicle of our individual and collective ascension. Free will is not the right to change how things work in the universe/omniverse - just the right to disregard and deny it, or learn, recognize and accept it for what it is - it just is. Not really that big a deal - just that we have been away so long that we perceive it as a really big deal. Here is the geometric description of the Merkabah, the Star Tetrahedron and the Chariot of your Ascension (remember: Not broke? Don't fix it)

Below is a portion from the link you provided Dave. When he mentions "that has enough magnetite to rotate clockwise and counter-clockwise beneath a stick magnet", it made me wonder, could this image on the rock and the crop circle be an invitation to understanding and developing free energy? Something about the design makes me think of a vortex motion and the vortex motion definitely plays a very basic and fundamental role in understanding the development of "free energy" as well as electromagnetic spiral motion throughout this universe. Another possibility is revealed by the football shape behind the two circles known as the Vesica Piscis. See this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoMk0estzXc&feature=related
My wild guess shot in the dark is we are looking at symbols indicating the universal spiral/vortex motion, the Vesica Piscis and circles representing positive and negative, light and dark, matter/antimatter that finally converge to create an ascension of energy to higher frequencies/levels/dimensions through the Vesica Piscis portal....
The rock is a dark chocolate color with a touch of red and has a
satin-smooth finish. The rock is a bit heart-shaped, measuring 1.96
inches (5-centimeters) by 1.69 inches (4.3-centi-meters) and weighs
50.78 grams. One end is twice as thick as the other. The thickest part
of the rock is where one of the circle and crescent patterns are
enclosed inside a circle. Below that encircled pair is another crescent
and circle enclosed inside a circle at the thinnest part of the rock.
The pattern is refined with beveled edges and seems to rise more than
an eighth of an inch up from the surface of the rock. Adding to the
mystery, the rock pattern is a match to the extraordinary August 2,
1996, crop formation at Liddington Castle in Wiltshire, England, except
that the circles and crescent moon patterns in England were created by
standing wheat. In the mysterious rock, the circles and crescents are
the opposite – not raised, but beveled into the raised pattern on the
rock.

Prof.
Constantopoulos first used his binocular light microscope to examine
the rock on both the pattern side and back side to look at grain sizes.

The professor also experimented with a pencil magnet which was clearly
attracted to the rock, which confirmed the presence of magnetite. The
later energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (EDXRF) simply
confirmed the presence of iron. Robert Ridge also demonstrated with his
own auto shop magnet-on-a-stick. When he holds the magnet over the
crescent and circle at the thickest end of the rock, the rock turns
counterclockwise. When he moves the magnet to the lower crescent and
circle in the thinnest end of the rock, the rock reverses and turns
clockwise.

Varying
clockwise and counter-clockwise plant lays are a fundamental
characteristic of worldwide crop formations. Since the pattern carved
on the iron-rich sandstone rock matches the pattern on the August 2,
1996, Liddington Castle pattern in England, I discussed with Prof.
Constantopoulos the possibility that whoever, or whatever, made the
pattern on the rock might have intended to link the upper circle and
crescent to a counter-clockwise rotation and the lower circle and
crescent to a clockwise rotation by utilizing the magnetite
distribution in the rock or the pivot points of its peculiar shape.
Interview:
James
Constantopoulos, Ph.D., Professor of Geology and Chair of the Physical
Sciences Department, Eastern New Mexico University, Portales, New
Mexico: “I think the rock's rotation changes relate to
selective positioning of the magnet due to irregularities in the shape
of the sample.
HAVE YOU SEEN A VARIATION IN CLOCKWISE
AND COUNTER-CLOCKWISE ROTATION IN OTHER MAGNETITE ROCKS BASED ONLY ON
THE SHAPE OF THE ROCK?
No, because it’s not really
something we do. As a geologist, we’re only concerned with questions
such as: is it magnetic or not? Is it strongly magnetic and therefore
suggestive of magnetite? Or is it weakly magnetic and suggestive of
titanium or one of the other iron-bearing minerals?
Also, I wanted to look at the carving itself in detail to look for any evidence of tool marks or mechanical work.
OR EVEN HEATING FROM SOMETHING LIKE A LASER?
Yes,
exactly, and the rock did not appear to have been formed by a laser.
The rock pattern is too perfect to have been done by hand and the
material is too hard. It does not really lend itself well to hand
working. But I could see someone with machining experience could
possibly produce a pattern like this.
BUT YOU DID NOT FIND ANY EVIDENCE OF HOW IT WAS MADE?
No, no, I did not.
WHAT WAS YOUR OVERALL IMPRESSION OF A PATTERN LIKE THIS IN THE IRON-RICH ROCK?
Very
unusual. Obviously, the pattern itself is intriguing because it’s a
duplication of that 1996 crop formation. Iron-rich sandstone is not
very easily worked material. There are hundreds of other natural
materials that would be more easily worked than this particular
material.
IN YOUR PROFESSIONAL CAREER AS A GEOLOGIST
AND NOW CHAIR OF THE PHYSICAL SCIENCES DEPARTMENT AT EASTERN NEW MEXICO
UNIVERSITY, HAVE YOU EVER SEEN AN IRON-RICH ROCK SIMILAR TO THIS ONE IN
WHICH ANY CARVING HAD BEEN DONE IN THIS 3-DIMENSIONAL RAISE FROM THE
ROCK'S SURFACE?
No, I haven’t. And as I mentioned the
other day when we visited, there is lots of alabaster in that part of
New Mexico out on the flats closer to the Pecos River. So, if someone
was going to look for a rock to carve, alabaster would be the logical
choice.
AS BOTH A SCIENTIST AND A HUMAN HANDLING THE ROCK AND WORKING WITH IT IN YOUR LAB, WHAT RESIDUE IS LEFT IN YOUR MIND?
One
of mystery, I guess. It's a normal rock, but the pattern is remarkable.
Obviously, it is something that took a lot of care and knowledge to
produce because this hard, iron-rich sandstone with magnetite is not
easily worked.
