STATE OF THE ART FOR 1999

The latest news is that the farmer has cut out this formation already to the tragic loss and disappointment of many people around the world, imagine a philistine going to an art gallery and slashing the Mona Lisa to ribbons. A person from America stated to us by email that is action of harvesting through the formation  is unforgivable. We pray and hope the Circlemakers will return to another field soon to re-create this formation for humanity.  Lets hope it is in a field own by a farmer with a open mind.
 

Field Report

As you are all aware now, the Farmer harvested this wonderful and incredibly important formation the moment he found out about it. These images above are the only images that are available, there are no images from the ground, but a survey may well be forthcoming soon.

This formation I believe is an important shift for the phenomenon for 1999. Never before have we seen such a detail floor construction, as we now have raised weave crop, creating the basket effect. Its appearance is highly impressive from the aerial images taken, but not only that, the circles themselves also have some fascinating rotations to them. If we look closely at the detailed aerial images (which can be found at: http://cropcircleconnector.com/Sorensen/circles/1999/main.html   we can clearly see that these swirls are different to what we have seen before.

Each of the largest circles placed on the outside of each arm has also a weave rotation to them. If you look at the circle on the far right, with the arm positioned at four o’clock, we can see a swirl more detailed than the rest, with a raised centre creating a two directional ‘S’ swirl. The circles further down the arm do not seem to display this feature, they are formed from a more conventional rotation but the smaller circles in the centre are far too small to comment on. Indeed all of the circles on the outside have this rotated ‘S’ swirl, but what is so staggering in the raised basket weave in between the arms.

It’s my prediction for the year 2000 that we will witness this shift on a larger scale in the fields of England, and who knows, maybe within our International circles? Perhaps the Circlemakers have left us with a little taster for what is to come next year, it’s just a shame that we didn’t receive a second type of design to round off the season, so that we could experience it probably.
