CROP CIRCLE RUMOURS
Updated Wednesday 18th August 1999
Rousdon, nr Seaton, Devon. Reported Sunday 22nd August.
I was surprised to see no mention of the formation which occurred at Rousdon (nr Seaton) in Devon in mid July. A friend of mine visited it, and according to him it was documented in the local papers down there (including a picture). Perhaps you could follow that up.

Longbridge, nr Warwick, Warwickshire. Reported 29th July.
NEEDS INVESTIGATING
Another report of a bigger formation 3 miles
to the north just south of Warwick on the
M40/A46 junction.

Rabley Wood, nr Marlborough, Wiltshire. Reported 22nd July.
I have read a couple of e-mails from this guy called Steve re a
formation on Rough Down. I looked for it last week but found nothing, he now says it is
near Rabley Wood, any ideas?
The formation ! saw over a week ago is near Rabley Wood near Marlborough I was a long way
away so I can't tell you what shape it is.

M4, nr Reading, Berkshire. Reported 15th July.
A friend has just informed me of a large formation visible
from the M4 near
Reading??! Sound like a large flower type formation....I have not heard of anything
around this area....is this new?

Bungay, nr Beccles, Suffolk. Reported 8th July.
UPDATE
After E-Mailing yesterday, I went up to the field that housed the
circle. I couldn't find anyone to gain permission from so I carefully went up a
footpath to have a look. However, after checking to see if I was being watched, I
saw someone staring at me from a nearby house (who hadn't answered the door to me
when I'd called 5 minutes earlier). So I was unable to enter the formation but from
what I saw (and from my limited experience of crop formations (while on holiday in
Wessex once a year)) it appears quite old
(the crop is 'springing up' in places), it has a clockwise swirl with an outer ring
(also clockwise) and has a diameter of approx. 50 ft.
Well, I'll keep looking for any further East Anglican circles.
If you a sent any info from any other croppies regarding this formation, I would
greatly appreciate your forwarding it to me too.
Hello. After my flat mate's morning cycle ride (July 8) he told me of
what he believed to be a crop circle. I promptly went to the area he described and, yes,
sure enough there is a 50ft circle with an outer ring in a field in Suffolk (shock).
I haven't entered the circle yet as there are far to many farms in the area and
would rather have permission than get shot at ! If you want to post this on CCC site
the circle can be found here:
Take the Beccles Road out of Bungay towards the Watchouse PH. Take the Mettingham Low road
(Not Pirnow St or the main Beccles Road). Proceed about 500 yards and in the top right-hand
corner of the only field of wheat (on the right) is the small circle. It is very
difficult to see from the road but for a good view, take Pirnow Road past Crisp
Maltings (over the three bridges) and keep checking through the gaps in the trees to
your right.
I can't recall there ever being a circle in this area even in the early 90s. Perhaps a
true, un-hoaxed specimen of the genuine phenomena.
Feel free to E-mail me but I will send more details /photos when I've spoken to the
land owner.

I have heard there is a formation at Bicester and a fourth formation at Toot Balden both these reports have to be confirmed.
(UPDATE) Last night Geoff and I looked at the formation near Oxford airport (which is not near Enstone - Enstone is a separate air field) more details about it will send you further details in due course. We went looking for the formation at Bicester and think it was a duff report. Geoff will look for the fourth Toot Balden formation this weekend.

Bruton, nr Wincanton, Somerset. Reported 9th June
A crop circle has appeared just outside Bruton (off the A303 near Wincanton
Somerset. It is situated on the Right side of the road on the Godminster Lane
leading out of Bruton on the Godminster Road. It's been there since Wednesday 9th
June. It's shape is long and Scorpion like. It's hard to see it from a good
vantage point, the Bruton Dove Cote Hill might be a good position with a pair of
binoculars; otherwise you can just peer over the Right side Hedge and get a sense of
it. The corn seems to have literally and organically bent at the node points over
night without any trauma to the plant.

Hi
There is a recent crop circle in Bruton Somerset at the moment and I wondered if you were
interested. I have not seen it myself but a friend who lives there asked me to try and get
in touch with someone who was interested in documenting it as it is not clear from the
ground exactly what shape it is.
