2003 Green Street formation
|
Reconstruction of the 2003 Green Street formation | ||
| 1. |
| Draw a circle. Draw the horizontal and vertical centerlines. |
| 2. |
| Construct the inscribed pentagon (regular 5-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing down. |
| 3. |
| Construct the inscribed circle of pentagon 2. |
| 4. |
| Construct the inscribed pentagon of circle 3, pointing up. |
| 5. |
| Construct the pentagram (5-pointed star, formed by the set of diagonals) of pentagon 4. |
| 6. |
| Construct the pentagram of the small pentagon enclosed by pentagram 5. |
| 7. |
| Construct the pentagram of pentagon 2. |
| 8. |
| Complete a small pentagram by drawing the connecting lines between one intersection of pentagram 6 and two intersections of pentagrams 5 and 7, as shown. |
| 9. |
| Repeat this for the other four pentagrams surrounding pentagram 6. |
| 10. |
| Construct the inscribed pentagon of circle 1, pointing up. |
| 11. |
| Draw the connecting line between the rightmost angular points of pentagons 2 and 10. |
| 12. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the intersection of line 11 and the horizontal centerline. |
| 13. |
| Construct the inscribed pentagon of circle 12, pointing up. |
| 14. |
| Construct the pentagram of pentagon 13. |
| 15. |
| Draw the connecting line between two intersections of pentagrams 5 and 14, as shown. |
| 16. |
| Extend line 15 up to adjacent sides of pentagram 5. |
| 17. |
| Repeat steps 15 and 16 for the other four corresponding intersections of pentagrams 5 and 14. |
| 18. |
| Pentagons 2 and 4, pentagrams 5, 6, 7 and 14, and lines 8, 9, 16 and 17 are the constructing elements for the reconstruction. |
| 19. |
| Leave out any part not visible in the formation. |
| 20. |
| Colouring green all areas, corresponding to standing... |
| 21. |
| ...or flattened crop, finishes the reconstruction of the 2003 Green Street crop circle formation. |
| 22. |
| The final result, matched with the aerial image. |
