The EMCCCS have spent a great deal of flying time and money obtaining these aerial shots, while they are  not first class, they are the only ones. Our group has to recoup our outlay, so images may be obtained through The Circular Review at its address on the home page, we do regret having to do this but no-one else was prepared to even look at the Northampton area which really is a way out for us.  Thank you to the Crop Circle Connector for donating a small amount to cover the flying costs.

I've found another crop circle that does not appear to be on your site!!  It is another large circular formation just to the west of Junction 38 of the M1 in Yorkshire and clearly seen from the motorway.  Within the large circle,  there is a square with corners that do not quite touch the edges of the circle.  Within the square is a smaller square rotated so that its corners meet the middle of the straight edge of the larger square.  Within this square, there is another smaller square rotated again - so that it is in alignment with the outside square.  

Report by Mike Barker.

This is one of the rare northern formations you have in the archives. It was reported on the 26th June with a ground shot photo from long range. I happened to be in the area at the time and together with my friend Alan Harding visited the site on the 30th June when Alan took a series of shots with a big lens. Left and right pictures of the formation are attached. I'm certain this formation was not a hoax as believed by a very near householder. The photos clearly reveal single rows of standing crop where the tram lines cross the downed crop. This in my book is a certain sign of genuineness.
Hope you can use the shots when things cool down a bit.

I have seen a brand new circle on the M1 junction 38 (it is visible from the road). I have been inside the circle and I didn't find any signs of hoaxing whatsoever , the crop was not broken and there were no construction lines. This formation is very large (about 30-40 feet in diameter) and consists of a square inside of a large circle and a diamond design inside of  the square , have attached a picture of the design.

I was travelling up the M1 yesterday towards Wakefield when at the left hand side at Junction 38 (opposite the Old Post Office public house) I saw the crop circle below. I estimate the circles circumference to be about 100 metres. The perspective view is what you actually see from the roadside. The plan view has been drawn on AutoCAD. I will be going back shortly to photograph the image. The field is corn, but has not ripened yet, hence the green rendered image.

I visited it last Sunday and was struck by how neat and parallel was the flattened wheat in the lay areas marking the square outlines. The farmer's son said to me the tram line in the middle served as the centre for standing on to mark out the outer circle, but when I got his permission to walk in the formation, I saw that the tramline is off-centre. i.e.. the actual centre consists of undisturbed wheat. I went in it looking for evidence of hoaxing but was instead impressed with the utter precision of the circle. The flattened wheat in the lay areas exhibits no violence or damage, and most stems are bent over rather than 'folded' at sharp angles. A farm hand in the circle with us said that the circle appeared suddenly one night and was seen early the next morning. He explained that merely describing a wide circle from a central point by the use of a taut rope cannot make the wheat lay flat, since all that happens is that it springs back up again. It has to be forced down. I consider this particular circle is genuine and defies the wit of "the local students" (quote-unquote) to achieve in total darkness. The farmhouse in next to the field. I am mailing a selection of downloaded pages to the farming family, who know nothing about crop circles and were astonished to be shown the pages from the c/c/connector web site which I had with me, which were printed off on my Epson.
