An artefact, discovered in 2004 near Roswell, not only shows a the design of a British crop circle from 1996 in a relief, but also peculiar magnetic properties that raised many questions regarding its origin and meaning. Now an artist has shown how such stones can be created with handcraft methods.

Artist Ron Branch works in Portland, Oregon, an has worked with stones and glass already before he heard about the so called "Roswell Stone". Because he was used to sandblasting he immediately recognised how he cold replicate the alleged mysterious stone artefact with his method - and so he did with respectable success, also showing other crop circle related motives.

Furthermore Branch was able to recreate the original stone's peculiar magnetic properties. According to him this is just a question of the selected type of base material: "There has to be a correct ratio between the weight of the rock and the pull of the magnet. Clockwise and counter clockwise rotation is all about shape - the ones that are too symmetrical have no interest in spinning, they are better off somewhat lopsided." A similar theory for the magnetic rotation was offered by Dr. James Constantopoulos of "Eastern New Mexico University" when he re-investigated the original "Roswell Stone" in 2008 together with its owner Robert Ridge and investigative journalist Linda Moulton Howe (...read more).

In an e-mail-interview with crop circle researcher Andreas Müller about the "Roswell Stone", Ron Branch assured that even if he did create similar works before using his sandblasting method with stone and glass, he only started to create crop circle decorated stones after he learned about the story of the "Roswell Stone", so the original stone discovered in 2004 is not one of his artwork.

Now a comparative analysis between the original "Roswell Stone" and deco-stone created with the method Ron Branch uses may be an appropriate approach in leaning more about the "Roswell Stone's" origin.
