The Crop Circle Connector would like to thank the Farmer Mr. George Horton for permission to visit the formation. Also he asked us to tell everyone to not trespass on his land without his permission.

HARLEQUIN TRIANGLE

Appearing June 1st, the first formation in cereal (barley) this year in Wiltshire is located three miles north of Avebury, in Winterbourne Bassett.

The 150 feet diameter circle features a triangle bisected three ways and cutting three circles in the corners to create the unusual design. Although someone had been there before us, the stalks otherwise had no footprints or scrape marks on them - but, neither was there a single magical bend.

REPORT

When flying over the latest formation close to Winterbourne Bassett, one was presented with an amazingly complex structure. Until I see the photographs it will be difficult to make any intelligent comments. When I take the aerial photographs I am concentrating so hard on getting the image within the frame and the focus correct that I do not pay a lot of attention to the detail of the formation itself. However it would appear that it was a circular event containing an equilateral triangle.. The three sections around the triangle all appeared to contain different elements (or maybe that was due to light reflection as we circled) as did the sections within the triangle itself. To me it was strikingly similar to complex Florentine tapestry, incorporating just one stitch but many in a wondrous display of artistry. It lies close to the road and appears to be on a slope and hence will be visible. I will send you a photograph when they are developed.
