Crop: wheat
Description: key design,  small circle long arm and further design at the end of arm
Discovery:

I saw today,  7.7.03  but on enquiry it may have been around since Friday.  Are you aware that there is a crop circle in a field of wheat next to the A 52 bridge over the A1 at Barrowby, Grantham, Lincs.  It has been there since I believe Friday.   The design is a key shape and clearly visible from the A52 bridge on the approach to Grantham, after the turn off to the A1 south.   The circle is on the left hand side.   There was a circle around this area at Gunnerby moor some 4 years ago.

Name: Mariya Limerick
Status:  
There  appears to be a new circle a couple of fields back from the A346 about a mile south of Liddington Castle. However access is a little difficult and I do not have time at the moment to go and confirm it. The map  reference is roughly SU202784 and is easily visible form the road. It is just a  simple circle centred on a tram line.

THIS IS A MAN MADE CROP CIRCLE
There's a new circle Near Acton Turville, Near Yate. Near Bristol. I have included a map.

It's in a field of Barley, and is not really visible from the road. It's marked on the map with a red cross.

Graham Tucker is in the States and has left me in the role of El Supremo for Kent.  I have just had a phone call from someone in Folkestone reporting what could be a formation in a large field of grass in the ALKHAM VALLEY near to the village of Alkham, just inland between Folkestone and Dover.  It appears to be a series of symbols but, without a car, I am not able to make the journey down the A20 to have a look!  Andrew King is going to set one of his people onto it "tout-suite" and give me a buzz back.  Meanwhile I thought that I had better get the news (or rumour) to you ASAP.

Crop: Oil Seed Rape
Description: Its a single ring formation in oil seed rape, about 70 feet laid middle circle, with 6 feet standing ring, then another 6 feet laid outer edge. Reported last Sun by Nick Nicholson, who does not like it, I cannot find any dowsing earth force within, and when forced it comes back man made. Pictures will be processed soon.
Discovery:  Sunday 27th April 2003

This circle was spotted as a possible a week last Sunday 23rd April. When we got closer to it we realised that it was a depression in the ground and that by a fluke a ring of crop had seeded within giving a ringed circle effect. I would like to say it was a formation but it is not.

Report by Nick Nicholson 

Location: Below Cherhill White Horse. Wiltshire.  Reported 26th April.  Map (approx)
Crop: Oil seed Rape
Description: Large flattened ring with something flattened (shape not seen) attached
Discovery:  Sat  26th April lunchtime, on driving past
STATUS: Latest info on this is that it is a very bad creation.  This is not a real crop circle, WARNING don't be fooled by it.

Cherhill - April 2003

Interior pictures of the fake

 

As long as there is no real aerial of this man-made damage available - here is what I did with the available photo of the Cherhill-Thing. It is again a square-based face - very similar to the advert-faces made last year for 'orange' and the 'richard and judy show'.


I looks as if somebody is showing us his tongue -  anybody knows this face?
