Just a quick note that the pattern at West Kennett the farmer wishes no one to enter. It arrived yesterday morning but is extremely rough. It is destroyed.

POSSIBLE DAYLIGHT CREATION OF THE SERPENT ?

The day after our successful evening at the Coronation Hall in Alton Barnes, we were schedule to interview two witnesses to a sensational UFO light display over East Field and the surrounding area.  

The interview's went without a hitch, and turned out to be very successful. While returning to our cars, walking past the Helicopter flights from FAST helicopters, on the lower slopes of Knapp Hill, we were suddenly thrown into a totally different scenario. It appeared we had an instant story to follow up, as the people waiting for their flights, told us one of the helicopter pilots had discovered a formation, that wasn't around on their first initial flight, but appeared on the second circuit.  This was incredibly exciting we thought. Not only that, but the formation in question was literally just down the road at West Overton. The time scale between the first and second flight was around 2 hours 30 minutes, between 11:00am and 1:30pm.  "No time to lose we thought".  

The design was that of a serpent, with a snaking pathway on the southern slopes of West Overton, overlooking the village of East Kennet. It has been a spot for events in the past, but never have we had a possible daylight creation on these lands. This location is very close to the first major design in Wiltshire, across from the A4, which could have also formed in daylight hours.  

The floor lay inside the pathway, reminded us of the Klondike formation from last year. Within the DVD Out in the Fields 2003, I mentioned about the floor construction of this formation, and how we could possibly see this again very soon.  Well the West Overton event, was almost a carbon copy, as the platted effect within the central part of the path was extremely similar. The plants had been placed over each other from left to right throughout the entire path from one side to another. The whole length of the serpent must have been around 150ft.  

The story from the pilot, was constantly being fine tuned, the time-scale was coming down to just 1 hour 30 minutes. As I write this report, we are awaiting further details from the Fast Helicopter pilot. Unfortunately the formation was cut out on the 30th of July.  

We will publish more on this story soon.
