CROP CIRCLES OF 1996

Updated Friday 5th July 1996

Garsington, Nr Oxford, Oxfordshire. Reported Thursday 19th June

crop type=Barley

The 2nd Oxfordshire formation was discovered on June 20th and formed June 19th. It is about 2 miles from first formation on the Wheatley-Garsington Road.

This formation is in Barley and is approximately 1000 ft long with various circles at the top and bottom of the formation with a 500 ft pathway separating the top and bottom of the formation. At first appearance the formation appears very rough but has some unusual feature.

A picture will follow shortly.

A Report by Peter Sorensen

Busty and I discovered several formations within a mile radius near Wheatley, East of Oxford when we flew the area where the "thousand-footer" is.

The long one, which is prettier than a windshield wiper, cuts diagonally across the tramlines. Well. it is long!

A few fields across the road is a 70 foot(?) circle with a terribly ragged ring and two satellites {See diagram below}. The circles themselves appear reasonably nice.

Finally, there was a simple forty-footer circle nearby in wheat that seems likely to be the real thing!
