Lucy is one of the world's leading crop circle photographers. Hers are among the best photographs available portraying the enigmatic crop circle mystery. She supplied images for the double sided tribute album CD of the 40th Anniversary Tribute Album to Led Zeppelin (2009). Her images have also been used and continue to be used worldwide on TV, in films, books and magazines.
Lucy Pringle was educated in England, France and Switzerland and has travelled widely, spending twelve years in Jamaica where her elder son was born. She is a Founder member of the Centre for Crop Circle Studies. She is widely known and is an international authority on the subject and the pioneer researcher into the effects of electromagnetic fields on living systems. This includes the physiological and psychological effects reported by over 800 people after visiting or being in the vicinity of a crop formation.
Also animal behaviour, remote effects, luminosities, mechanical failures and audio effects. Her research shows measured changes in the human hormones following short exposure to the circles, also changes in brain activity. In addition, due to potentially important recent findings, the focus of her research work will be directed towards establishing a possible link with Parkinson’s disease. More research is needed to evaluate the link between these subtle energies and living systems.
Recent research in NIR (Near InfraRed) revealed a marked increase in the protein content in grain taken from inside a crop formation.
She works with scientists from all over the world, and in November 2014 she was one of the speakers at the institute of Science and Astrophysics in Sofia, Bulgaria which was not only a success but in the follow up made good progress with the scientists from Ireland and Norway being part of the action group to set up a centre at the Institute based on the principles of contemporary science and co-creative science as a functioning unit. The exciting part of the research is that this will pioneer these protocols for the first time with any institute.
