This formation was one of the poorest attempts within Hampshire this year, if anything its an indication to the circle world, that the REAL artists can be far superior in their geometry, to the example we have here. Make of this what you will, but I'm sure many people will agree that this formation is very disappointing. The circlemakers are above this creation!!


This is an interesting formation on many accounts- the Star is roughly 60 ft long and has very smooth lay, although no noticeable bends, and the circles contain neat but not perfect walls, with standing crop of different widths in each one and well maintained lay but not in normal spiral fashion. It is located smack in the middle of a ley line which makes dowsing reaction for the formation a little hard at first, which explains why the formation does not dowse where it should do. The path of the Vesica is not smooth-flowing by any means but it makes one wonder how such a narrow path could have been done by human agency. Fifteen minutes later from the air, Colin and I noticed that the lines connecting the Star were very much off-canter, almost bent to fit. The Vesica, on the other hand looked much more convincing, as if this was the genuine portion of the circle. This is the same field that hosted a man made formation in 1995 to test my infra red work, so it is important to keep an open mind on this one.
