TWO FORMATIONS GATEWAY STANTON ST BERNARD VILLAGE THIS SLEEPY VILLAGE IN THE HEART OF THE CROP CIRCLE ACTION, WITNESSED TWO EVENTS ON ITS OUTSKIRTS Its not very often we have the chance to write about two formations in one report! Well, the All Cannings Bridge formations didn’t arrive on the same night, the first event was the interlocking rings formation, which appeared on the morning of the 7th of August The second event happened on the 8th of August a day later. Personally the second formation is far superior then the first, but lets take a look at it! NINE POINTED STAR
Click on thumbnail to enlarge. The second formation to appear on the other side of the road from the rings formation, is by far the best of the two. Not only for its most superior floor construction, but also for the design itself. Just taking the first steps onto its floor lay, you |
immediately noticed the
exquisite quality of the way the plants have been laid. Some very
interesting features in this formation, probably the most noticeable are
the most amazing nine, wheat sheaf standing centers in each of the
circles surrounding the star. This detail was first seen on the Knoll
formation at Horton. These centers have been made in such a way, with
compactness, that if you sat on them, they would not collapse. The same
could be said for the Horton feature, but the wheat sheaves on the All
Cannings Bridge formations featured splayed plants twisting out from the
raised bunches of crop. Interestingly, the central circle did not have a
bunched center like the rest, but just a normal splayed spiral.

Flowing in an anti clockwise rotation, the plant was snapped at the very base of the stem, but there was no trace on any scraping on the stem itself. However, the stem was splintered on the back side (underneath the exposed side) and then bend back in the opposite direction to its final position. Every circle surrounding the nine pointed stars were flowing in a anti clockwise rotation. Report & Images by Stuart Dike. Copyright 2000 |
This formation, that can be seen clearly from the road at the All
Cannings canal bridge, is a .beautiful chunky nine pointed star, the actual star is fashioned from standing crop which is sitting within a
circle of downed wheat, (approx) 150ft diameter . Between each of the nine sharp points is the largest sunburst style features I have yet
encountered, very impressive indeed. Each one has a large spray of wheat bursting out of
it's center in a skyward direction. The center of the formation has a small (approx) 20ft diameter
flattened circle with a tightly woven nest as a central feature. The formation as a
whole has a very sharp and pleasing finish
