This whole flying experience is very new to us at The Crop Circle Connector. Normally, we are entering every field we can, at this time of year, but because of the restrictions, we are resigned to the air, but really that is not come down, just a totally different approach for us at the Connector.

In previous years, we only have a few minutes of footage, but this year, we have more than previous years put together. You will see a lot more aerial shots from us, in the coming months.

Let’s move on to this rather dramatic formation on West Down. We finally managed to enter the formation, situated in an area, not normally used by the

phenomenon, but extremely welcomed, as from the ground, it was a rather dramatic location, with wonderful backdrops, from every angle. This is primarily due to its careful positioning in the corner of the field, close to a copse of tress, and a small oval shaped track. You can also see from Peter Sorensen’s video footage, a circular patch, which could be a watermark of an ancient structure.

Flying on his day, was difficult to say the least. Quite a number of thermals were shaking us around, and the wind was fairly strong. But, we managed to capture this formation from every angle, and a quick distant shot, with the trees.
