WHY DID THE
CROP CIRCLE CROSS THE ROAD AT HORTON?
What is so
intriguing about every crop circle season, is the fact that you can
never tell what next will be in store for us all! One thing is for
sure, is that the Circlemakers certainly have a sense of humour which
has been clearly demonstrated along the main road leading to the
village of Horton.
Crop Circles
straddling and crossing roads, is quite a rare occurrence. However it
has happened twice this year already, with the Stephen Castle Down
formation in Hampshire with its pathway crossing the main highway. On
this particular occasion, an actual circle has been completely cut in
half by the road. The event itself, has been made even more
extraordinary by the fact that one side of the circle is set lower
than the other side. This lower part to the circle is separated by a
line of long grass which runs parallel with the road. On closer
inspection the grass was not affected by the event, just the crop
itself.
The higher side
also included a small ringed circle with a larger intact single circle
just behind the straddled circle. In all, this collection of oddball
circles had a certain charm to them, which is always important to have
running alongside the more celebrated and grander events in Wiltshire.
The circle which
crosses the road, was even more intriguing when comparing each side.
From an aerial perspective we can clearly see that the radius of the
circle was not true, if the circle had been made in the proper way in
open crop. The question is was its creation affected by the presence
of the road, of was it constructed in this way purposely? It was very
strange why the long grass along the side of the roadside was not at
all disturbed. And this can be said for the grass verge on the open
half of the circle.
So why did the
crop circle cross the road? That is the mystery!
