KOCH SNOWFLAKE. FRACTAL STAR OF DAVID.
An aerial shots by Steve Alexander. Copyright 1997.
July 23rd, NNW of Silbury Hill, 250 feet in diameters, wheat. Exclusive of the 126 little circles and two grapeshot (one 600 feet away), the geometry is known as a Koch Snowflake, named after a pioneering mathematician. Spectacular lay of the crop, like the Liddington Crescents in 1996.

Situated to the northern side of Silbury Hill, towards Avebury is a representation on a Koch Snowflake, or a Fractal Star of David. These are accurate explanation to what the design is. It consisted of 126 circles (Including Central Circle) and with three circles on each of the star triangular sections. They are placed around the perimeter of the formation, with two different sizes of circles on each side of the triangles.
The central section has a huge area of flattened crop. This consists of a central circle, which flows out into six inner directional flows which run into the Star of David designs. The crop was flattened in such a way that the floor pattern was like water, it had a fluid aspect to it, as if the construction was put down in seconds. There could be a story attached to this formation that it might have formed in daylight? I will bring you more details on this story soon.
The pattern itself was very complex in its floor construction, some nice details were noticed like the change in direction of the crop was laid underneath each other with each direction changing to suit the six sections of the inner lay.
Only from the air can this formation be appreciated fully, as we can see from Steve's Aerial photographs.

On returning to the Koch Snowflake, at 4.00pm on Friday 25th of July, I had more time to notice the floor pattern to bring you a further report on this formation.
As I was walking around the formation, surveying the small circles on its perimeter, I noticed that just two circles out of the 126 are anticlockwise in rotation. This was quite interesting, as one of the circles was positioned on one of the tips within the middle triangle sections. The other one was positioned at the same location on the central tip.
The central floor lay, can now be established as a web structure, only from the air will this become apparent. The change in direction, for the next section of crop is quite exquisite, in fact masterful in its execution. The CircleMakers are now creating designs which not only should be seen from the air, but within them as well. I recommend that people come and see this one. The Farmer is fine about letting people in.
An underlying pathway was also noticed, this created a triangle shape set inside the design. This must have been a major marking-out path, to create the initial design. Some people have trouble with underlying pathways, "why would the REAL phenomenon need marking pathways", Well I say WHY NOT! I mean, the phenomenon might not be quite so perfect as we think it is. This also goes for the geometric precision, I feel that when the surveying report comes in, we will probably find small inaccuracies in the design. Again, I stress that the genuine article isn't that precise in its construction. But for the moment we'll have to wait and see. I could be wrong!
I would also like to see the alignment on this location, in regard to ancient sights, and also Ley Line structure. I'm sure many lines will run through the formation, possibly in connection with the Avebury Complex. I have tried the Dowsing technique in the passed, but it needs to be fined tuned by the people who have the experience. We would appreciate any input on this aspect. Thank you.
So, here we have another Fractal design, what can all this mean, we have a high tech design, set within an ancient landscape. Are the CircleMakers showing us our advanced society, but reflecting the culture and knowledge of the past?
