A VISITOR FOR ADAM & EVE

While we were all pondering on a rather slow start to the season
in Wiltshire, an
event took place, just outside of the village of Beckhampton that
may have officially started the 2002 crop circle season.
The two huge stones, known as Adam
and Eve, are situated between Folly Hill and the Beckhampton
Drove. The field they reside in, is known as Longstones Field. To
my knowledge, there has never been a formation in this particular
field, which has surprised many of us in the crop circle world.
However, this year has come close, as this articulate formation
appeared in the neighbouring field towards the Downs of Avebury
Trusloe.
The new formation certainly came as
a surprise to all of us. We obviously had a few events before, but
the quality of this formation surpassed anything we had earlier.
On entering the formation, you could see the quality of the floor
pattern. Barley tends to recover very quickly, so time is of the
essence to witness the floor as it was created. However we arrived
at the formation just in time, as another day would have made it
very difficult for any judgement.
The design itself would appear to
be some kind of Celtic knot, with 39 outside circles, connected to
its outer ring. These circles had a standing center within each
one. The inner section of the design includes six interlocking
Convex Equilateral Triangles. A feature that was seen before,
within a few formations from the 1999 crop circle season in
Wiltshire. Are we about to see a re-emergence of this triangle in
the designs?

Within many of
the reports this year, I will be mentioning some personal
experiences within the formations. I feel the relevance of this is
justified, when necessary to mention. I felt my first TM
experience within this formation is worth mentioning, because of
my increasing idea that the human mind is somehow connected with
the designs in the landscape. Anyone who is wondering what TM is,
this is Transcendental Meditation.
I confess to
being a novice at TM, as I have only been practicing this
technique for three months from writing this report. However the
twenty minutes I carried out in the central part of the formation,
was one of the best I have experienced. The evening itself was
quite blustery, and using the photography pole wasn’t easy. We
both felt rather cold, and the prospect of sitting in one place
for twenty minutes wasn’t really favourable. But around 7 minutes
into the meditation, the wind dropped to complete stillness, and
one could sense that the immediate environment around me had
changed. Two very subtle crackles were heard on the ground, to my
left and directly in front of myself. I couldn’t say what they
were, but I didn’t finish the mediation to investigate, as this
can make you feel rather tired. However the meditation was very
powerful for myself, and I am sure the crop circle itself was
having some influence on my experience.
A sigh of relief
was felt when we heard of this formation. Our patience has been
rewarded with a quality formation, and a location that was
welcoming to all the crop circle researchers in Wiltshire. The
2002 crop circle season starts here!
