Images Annemieke Witteveen Copyright 2004 An experiment by Maurice Osborn to communicate with the crop circle aliens. The crop circle was created near to West Lavington, nr Devizes, Wiltshire. Reported Saturday 14th August. A note from Maurice. "I announced my plans to create a crop formation on August 12, 2004 with a message from humanity in the same format as the disk message in the 2002 Crabwood Farmhouse crop formation. Obviously, my crop formation would be of little interest to anyone if a new formation with a reply does not appear on August 14th or 15th as expected. However, if a response does appear, than these crop formations could be of immense importance for mankind". |

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC COMMISSIONED HOAXING AT WEST KENNETT LONG BARROW
This year’s annual major TV-Crop-Circle-Faking was commissioned by "National Geographic“ (...well indeed, there seem to be only very few stations left around the world who had not yet came up with this amazing "new“ idea for a show...). They were filming for the first time at night within a field next to the West Kennett Long Barrow that already hosted two formations, showing a local hoaxer making a circle. The scene was well-lit by powerful set-lights. Then again at night, on August 9-10, inside the already present "Sun and Moon“ formation just opposite the Long Barrow, now featuring "Team Satan/The Circlemakers“ from London stomping around and playing Hide and Seek in the already present formation and once again in the artificially well-lit field (see night-photos). In both nights the set was very well visible because of the lights from the road. This team then returned during the following daytime on August 10, now in a field a bit behind the Long Barrow, where the team of three made a formation – with the farmer being paid – filmed by a time-laps camera up on a crane. This took the three men a total of about 5 hours, beginning around noon and descending the crane back to the ground at 5:00pm. The used tools were the known boards, measure-tape, stick and numbered marking-plates (see daylight-photos). When speaking to the people in charge for the programme, they assured us that "it will be a balanced programme on the phenomenon“ - sounds somehow familiar? Asked what such a huge hoaxing-effort has to do with a balanced programme on the phenomenon“ the same people became suddenly less telling and slightly angry. At least some of the crew (unofficially) admitted, the programme might be not as much balanced as officially claimed“. Well, maybe this time we are wrong (again) and the programme will be the very best crop circle documentation of all time...But then, why did National Geographic spend that much efforts, time and money on showing that people can flatten crop into geometrical designs, and why did they made parts of it in night time but with artificial light. And why was it - as some of the stuff confirmed - that the London-team was paid while researchers who were also interviewed did (to my present knowledge) not see a penny? Well, as I said, maybe we are wrong… Report Andreas Muller

NATIONAL GEOGRAPH IC 2004 HOAX -
UPDATE
With the support of Frank Laumen's aerial pictures I can now update my previous report on National Geographic TV's commissioned hoax activities at West Kennett Long Barrow this summer. One picture shows the results of "stomping around" in the already present "Sun&Crescent" formation just opposite the Long Barrow. The two others show the final result of the 5 hours daylight hoax by the 3-man-team of "Team Satan/The Circlemakers" that was cut out directly after the work was finished...well, to late for Frank. But again, maybe I am wrong and it will be the best and balanced crop circle documentation ever...maybe;-)

We were driving
along a minor road between Fosbury and Oxenwood on Friday
and noticed an unusual formation without apparent regularity in
the field opposite the drive to Fosbury House very close to
the road. The corn was pressed in a North to South
direction. Because of the irregularity I would have
suspected it was wind blown had the corn not been so well laid. I
thought it might be worth a look from an aircraft, even though it
appears relatively unexciting, it was unusual to see corn
laid without apparent design.
If you get the time let me know
what you think as my wife spotted it and it was her first
"circle" before we viewed the more impressive ones from Milk
Hill.

| Crop: | wheat I think |
| Description: | difficult to see from ground but large and bearing many characteristics of crop circle. we entered the field and the pattern seemed very large perhaps some 400 feet in length and perhaps 100 feet in width. The crop was flattened in a manner consistent with a circle. The crop did seem to flattened in various directions rather than 1 uniform way and I noted that there was the odd green stalk around the place that had not been flattened but was growing normally. In the centre of one of the patterns was a central "tuft". |

Fields of mature rye (?) were noticed in Norfolk back in December
2003 at Marsham, Aylsham and Frettenham (the first two locations
having hosted crop circles previously). This 6 - 8 ft diameter
clockwise circle was seen in the field at Aylsham at the end of
January. By the time the photos were taken the crop had been fairly
battered by rain and snow. Several areas of the field had also
suffered rook and rabbit damage.
