POYNINGS, WEST
SUSSEX, 15 AUGUST 2002
Report by ANDY THOMAS of
Southern Circular Research
Brought to light by a live report from the traffic helicopter of
radio station Southern FM, the DJs reported this formation as being at
Devil's Dyke, but in fact it lies at Poynings, about a mile north-east
of the main Dyke car park. It is just visible from there, but
binoculars are recommended.
The pattern resembles three interlinked
sickle-shapes made from standing elements within a circle.
THIS DESIGN IS MAN-MADE.
When Allan Brown and I arrived at the farm
to investigate the appearance, there was a crane/lifting device next to
the field and diagrams of the formation pinned to barns nearby, with the
cryptic name 'JUNKZ2' beneath it. We were then informed that the crop
pattern was made for use in a pop video, although the farm staff were
not allowed to tell us any more! We presume that JUNKZ2 is the name of
the act, but that is supposition.
The formation, at 202' diameter, though
impressive in its ambition and scale, did show clearly man-made traits
inside. There was a generally messy lay and little care in the lay
directions, and notable breakage and crimps on the stems. Other
qualities were consistent with the crop having been laid with some kind
of board device.
It will be interesting to see if and when
this formation turns up on television as a backdrop to the latest pop or
drum 'n' bass delight! Certainly, to the best of our knowledge, this is
the first commercial crop circle to be commissioned on Sussex land. Why
this farm was chosen is unknown.

SU 042 613 - Etchilhampton, North of Chalk Pit on Map
3 Circles just next door to the building by the road on the way to 1031
formation. Two appear like the Moon and the Earth I felt. The other a
little further along the tramline. The moon a single circle on its own
with the Earth. Quite small and easy to get to, and they take you to the
other formation. This might be the confusion with the 2nd Square
formation. I had that confusion thinking I had seen a new formation, which
wasn't even there in my case, earlier on in the year. The 2nd one which is
the 1st can be seen from here.

| Craig Malcolm and family tell me there are 2 crop
circles, which appeared last night 12th Aug 2002 between
Bonnybridge and Falkirk, Scotland. One a thirty foot circle and one
looks like a horse shoe shape. Craig says there is no evidence of humans
around the circles, just pristine crop. They will probably be gone in the
next two days. He has video footage and wants to know what to do
next? Report Neil Cunningham.

We're surprised that you have no report of the crop
circle near Coate. The field is located on the right hand side of the road
from Coate to Etchilhampton. You can see it from up the hill. It was
reported on July 27th. We visited this formation in the afternoon and it
consists of the numbers 1, then a sun-shaped circle of 15 rays and then
the numbers 3 and 1. We have ground-shots of it. The edges were really
sharp and the lay was very neat! There should be 2 other formations in the
same field.

A new little formation just next to the
one at Normanton Barrows near Stonehenge. Near the little
hill you pass, as you enter the field to see the large
formation.
A circle 23 feet in diameter with a straight appendage 7
feet long, from the circle a connecting path 20 feet
(facing 120 degrees), a lopsided oval varying between
10-13 feet in diameter, a connecting path 20 feet (facing
115 degrees), and a circle 10 feet in diameter.
Due to the oval's irregularity on one side and the sloppy
form of the appendage, it's surely manmade. Reported 24th
July.

Hi Mark as requested by you in our
telephone
conversation. That rumour has been passed to me by
one of our new drivers. He is sure he has seen a crop
formation just off the A5 between Leighton Buzzard and
Dunstable two weeks ago.
