East Kennett, nr Avebury, Wiltshire. Reported 2nd July.

After searching around the World Wide Web I think I have finally discovered what this formation could be based on.
It looks similar to Peano's Space-Filling Curve with 4 Iterations. There could be a relationship with the Koch Snowflakes.

Obviously in the same family as the "Surrealistic Pillow," this new formation to the South East of the West Kennett Longbarrow has a new kind of "weave," very Unlike last summer's "Basket," so it looks more like some kind of cloth. Note it has hundreds of small rectangular standing clumps.

Not far from the enigmatic Silbury Hill & West Kennett long barrow nr Avebury (A4) lies our latest offering from the increasingly ambitious circle makers. As in pervious years, this powerful area appears to be at the hub of crop circle activity in Wiltshire.

This latest design left us in a state of mild confusion when we first visited the scene on the day the formation arrived, largely due to the sheer number of sections that make up the central component of this extremely bizarre formation.

What we have here is a circle of downed wheat with a diameter of (approx) 180ft. Within this sizable circle is a standing square with sides measuring 139ft in length. OK, that I can handle, from here on in things get a little confusing. The square component of the formation has been carved up into an amazing 1600 pieces, in a square this size, with such a dense area of up and down crop it proved near impossible to get a grip on the overall pattern before us. Walking around in this maze of woven paths and intricate layering left me in a total spin, I think the best word to describe this formation from zero elevation would be, incomprehensible. With the above observations in mind it is worth noting that throughout the whole complex design there was very much a look and feel of quality, the construction of the square has been executed with great skill & precision. Standing back and seeing a coherent pattern emerge from such a seemingly chaotic area of up & down sections of wheat was rather surprising and quite spectacular.

For us this crop circle had a very heavy and somewhat oppressive feel and flavour, not unlike the feelings we felt whilst visiting the earlier & equally spectacular Windmill Hill optical illusion formation.

Lets hope for something a little more yin soon.

My NEW crop circle experience

Kerry Blower

I have had some experiences over the past ten years with crop circles, some have been mind expanding and some have been very sad. I have learned a lot about people and life through them and I am very glad about that. I would not change a thing that has happened to me. I feel that my intuition has intensified and I have grown up a lot, all because of the existence of the circles.

I really don’t feel that there could have been a better school of learning for me than the circles and it is still ongoing.

I turned my back on the circles two years ago when I discovered that most of my best male friends were making some of them. I became very angry and distrusting of everyone. My whole world came to an end as I had put so much of myself into the circles and they were ‘everything’ to me. I walked away from the circles with a very heavy heart and a lot less friends.

But hey! Isn’t life wonderful eh! I downloaded Pete Sorenson's picture of the ‘checker’ formation that is opposite the west Kennett longbarrow and I just said out loud ‘f…... AMAZING’. I couldn't believe my eyes. I was impressed for the first time in two years. I thought that I would go along and have a look at how it was made.

I thought that it was a nice day and that I could sit in the formation and just BE with nature. I walked up the tram line and entered the circle. The first thing that hit me was how immaculate the lay was and how complex the the ‘grid’ was. I didn't feel anything and I didn't enter it with any expectations at all. I sat for a while and then I turned to look who was in the circle and I saw everything around me was in a blue haze. I had a pressure in my head and the haze lasted for approx 5 minutes.

I took out my electronic organiser to write in it and I noticed that the text was fading in and out. I didn't think that it could be the formation at this time. So I wrote in it to replace the battery’s. (which I did on the 10^th July)

I then walked back to my car and noticed that the battery light was on. I then noticed that the petrol was in the red and I was concerned that I wouldn't make it to a garage. I put some petrol in and then I noticed that the petrol gauge was still in the red. I soon realised that nothing electrical was working on the car and that the battery light was still on. I drove the car like this for the next day and then I took it to our mechanic. He said that I needed to have the alternator replaced. I then drove the car for approx 20 miles and suddenly everything came back on. The battery light went off and it hasn't come on since.

Meanwhile, I noticed that my watch face was ‘blank’ so I took it back to the shop as it was still under guarantee. The lady replaced the watch and I wore it for a few days when the same thing happened again. The watch was cheap & I was fed up with it by now so I just bought a more expensive watch (which is fine at the moment).

I am AMAZED at the amount of batteries that were drained since I entered that crop circle. I really believe that it is more than a coincidence and I have now experienced ‘first hand’ the power failures that people have discussed in the past. I feel that I am becoming a ‘born again croppie’ and I won’t believe everything that ‘the boys’ tell me at face value anymore. I feel now after this experience that I have probably been told a lot of lies by ‘boys’ who want people to think that they are capable of producing such ‘works of art’. Well, boys, you are going to have to PROVE to me from now on that you DID actually make them. And we ALL know that is something you cannot do.
