Crop circle researcher.
Friday morning I was expecting to hear from Paul after exchanging a number of
e-mails during the week about the 1989 Cheesefoot Head sound analysis he did
for me. I was looking out for his anticipated message when I received an e-mail
from Kerry McKenna with Paul's name in the subject line. Instead of the reply I
was expecting from Paul it was the shocking news that his body had been
washed up in the English Channel at Southsea, near where he lived.
Like many of my research colleagues and friends I am deeply shocked and upset
at this terrible loss.
Paul was reliable and trusted by all of his friends and others who knew him. A
genuinely nice person and a highly intelligent young man.
We had carried out a number pf projects together over the years, since I first met
him at the launch of 'Circular Evidence' near Winchester in 1989. Paul met me
there with his lovely mother, who could hardly contain her love for him. I could
see where his gentle nature came from.
He visited my home in Andover several times with every electronic gadget known
to man and even more amazing was that he knew how they all worked.
I wondered if I should share a strangeness in our final correspondence this week
and believe there is no harm in doing so. I shared this with my friend Dave Haith
a short while ago.
It was as if we knew we were saying goodbye to each other.
One day before Paul was reported missing, Wednesday (Feb 18th) in what was
to be the last e-mail from Paul at 3.41 pm (UK), he said:
.............."Anyway, keep up the good work, and I'm sure that those genuine
seekers for the truth will be able to wade through the various arguments and
politics, if they don't get fed up in the meantime! - Best regards Paul".
My reply to him and the last e-mail sent read:
"Paul, I want you to know its the open and fair way you conduct yourself that I
admire and tell others about. I so appreciate and like your approach. I cant see
how anyone would find a problem with that approach but as we both know,
somehow they do.......OK, have a good one Paul. Colin"
At around 7.0 pm US Eastern time, Mid-night in England, I went to the barn to
feed our animals and had the most eerie feeling, of quiet peace, also of a
presence. This very strange feeling is one Ive had before when terrible things
like this have happened. I came back to our house and told my wife about the
feeling. I later learned that this was one hour after Paul was reported missing.
Below is a statement by Paul posted on his website which speaks to the nature of
the man.

A personal message from the webmaster
I believe that throughout the universe we meet many wonderful and unique
individuals, each travelling on their path to happiness, insight and
knowledge.
We are all souls who have spent time on this Earth in order to learn
lessons and share information with our fellow beings. Before we depart
this three dimensional existence we give back a little part of the universe in
the form of love, knowledge and conscious awareness. The planet as a
whole will benefit from our love and caring.
Crop circles have had a profound effect on thousands of people who have
witnessed and studied them through the years. Irrespective of origin, they
have acted as a catalyst to learning, understanding and spirituality as we
strive to understand the meaning and purpose behind the genuine crop
circles.
I created this web site with the aim of sharing information and creating a
forum by which people of like-minded souls around the planet can
communicate with each other in order to spread love, light and positivity to
the planet.
There is so much pain and sadness in the world at the moment, we need
to send love and understanding around the globe, in order to heal the
planet and send inspiration to those who need it, whoever they are and
whatever their agenda.
Together we can make the world a better place.
Whether you're looking for the latest crop circles or scientific evidence and
research or just browsing the beautiful photos and designs, I hope you
enjoy this web site and I wish you well on your path to happiness and
enlightenment.

Body found washed ashore in Southsea
20 February 2009
By Fran Duckett-Pike
Police are investigating after the body of a man was discovered in the
sea off Southsea seafront.
The body of 44-year-old Paul Vigay was discovered in the sea at
Eastney on Friday morning. Police said Mr Vigay, of Manners Road,
Southsea, had been reported missing at 11pm on Thursday night. The
body was discovered by a member of the public who was out on the
beach walking their dog.
Police were called at 8.10am yesterday to the seafront next to the Royal
Marines Museum, in Eastney where the body was found 10 metres from
the shoreline. Police cordoned off the area. Police say Mr Vigay's death
is not being treated as suspicious.
A Hampshire police spokeswoman said: 'We were called by a member
of the public after they saw the body in the water. 'The police, with the
help of the coastguard, brought him in.'
She added: 'Investigations are under way.' The Portsmouth Coastguard
Rescue Team and an inshore lifeboat were on the scene assisting the
police.
Local residents said they were shocked to hear about what happened in
an area that is usually very quiet.............................
Another resident added: 'I have no idea what has happened. I heard a
police siren and I looked out the window and saw the police cars. It was a
bit of a surprise - and it's not a nice surprise. I know the police
interviewed a couple of dog walkers.'
Undertakers were called to take the body away and a post mortem
examination will be carried out to try to establish the circumstances which
led to Mr Vigay's death.
Anyone with information should contact Portsmouth Police on 0845 045
4545 or 01962 841534, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555
111.

Two crop-circle experts die within hours of each other
The crop circle community has been left stunned after two of its leading lights died within hours of each other.
Dorset investigator and conference organiser David Kingston passed away last week after a year-long battle with cancer.
Meanwhile, the body of crop circle investigator Paul Vigay was found on the Hampshire coast at Southsea.
Mr Kingston was a prominent organiser in the crop circle and UFO research fields, running one of the biggest website and holding a prominent annual conference in Dorchester.
The 70-year-old began full-time UFO research in 1976 and began investigating crop circles in the late 1980s. The Dorchester conferences began in the mid 1990s, after he started lecturing on UFOs, crop circles and conspiracy theories.
The conferences scheduled for this spring and summer were cancelled when Mr Kingston's health took a turn for the worse recently.
Fellow researcher and friend David Haith said: "His wife Mary and his family were at his bedside.
"He was a tireless worker for truth and through his website, conferences and lectures, encouraged a great number of people to go on their own explorations of the mysteries of the universe.
"Now David is en route to uncovering one of the greatest mysteries of all and we wish him a fond bon voyage on his last great journey," he added.
Mr Kingston, from Weymouth, said he first saw UFOs while serving with the RAF all over the world, and found his true calling when links were made between the new phenomenon of crop circles and UFOs in the late 1980s.
His conferences hosted lectures by the world's most prominent experts on UFOs and crop circles, including the British Government's former UFO investigator Nick Pope and Troggs frontman Reg Presley.
Another to have lectured at the Dorchester spring conferences was Paul Vigay, a mathematician and computer expert who became one of the leading lights of the crop circle world.
His body was found on the shore at Southsea, near Portsmouth, last Thursday – police say the circumstances surrounding his death are not suspicious.
Mr Vigay, 44, was well known in the fields of Wiltshire and renowned among crop circle devotees as an expert at decoding the hidden meanings in crop circle patterns. "Paul was one of the brightest stars in the crop circle universe," said circle photographer and researcher Lucy Pringle.
"A talented mathematician, computer technician and a maker of electronic gadgets, he was one of the first researchers into the crop circle phenomenon in the early 1990s, where his talents were quickly recognised.
"He had an exceptional gift for investigation and often led the field in deciphering the mathematical aspects found in certain crop circles. He was amazingly articulate and he had a rare knack of being able to explain technical details in the simplest language. He has made a major contribution to the subject and his place will not be easily filled," she added.
Mr Vigay's friend of 23 years Claire Diestler, 39, from Bedhampton, said she visited him for a cup of coffee last Tuesday. She said: "He was absolutely fine, that's why I am so shocked. There was absolutely no indication that anything was wrong. In fact he was quite jokey. We all feel a bit guilty having seen him.
"We are all worried we did not pick up on something.'
Mrs Diestler added: "He was really interested in UFOs and anything a bit unusual like crop circles.
"He used to go to Wiltshire quite a lot to take photographs of them. He was really popular and had a lot of friends. He was very funny and we always had some great laughs," she said.
