Reconstruction of the
2005 Golden Ball Hill formation

1. Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines.

2. Create a "flower-of-life"-pattern, by copying circle 1 six times, first to its righthand intersection with the horizontal centerline, then to its consecutive intersections with the copied circles.

3. Construct the circumscribed hexagon (regular 6-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing to the right.

4. Construct the circumscribed circle of hexagon 3.

5. Copy circle 4 six times, to the centers of circles 2.

6. Construct a circle, tangent to the two rightmost sides of hexagon 3, and tangent to the upper and lower left circles 5 at the near sides, as shown.

7. Copy circle 6 to its righthand intersection with the horizontal centerline.

8. Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 7 at the far side.

9. Copy circle 8 six times, to the centers of circles 2.

10. Copy circle 6 seven times, to the center of circle 1 and to the centers of circles 2.

11. Circles 1, 2, 4, 5, 9 and 10 make up the necessary parts of the reconstruction.

12. Leave out all superfluous parts not visible in the formation itself.

13. Get the final result by colouring all areas corresponding to standing...

14. ...or to flattened crop. This concludes the reconstruction of the 2005 Golden Ball Hill formation.

15. The final result, matched with the aerial image.
