Octagon
This has to be the
finest octagon yet in the fields - even better than the 2000 Bishop’s
Cannings formation
http://www.lucypringle.co.uk/photos/2000/uk2000bf.html.
|
It has
a one-eighth rotation of its outer squares, whereby their sides expand by
root two: one has double the area of the other. Expanding out from the
main square to the peripheral squares, the sides increase by root two
(see figure). |
 |
We
then notice that its main square is divided according to a 12x12 grid.
Moving inwards, its sides shrink by a factor of 3 to give the central
flattened wheat square. Then, Its sides halve and halve again to give the
smaller ones.
 |
Remember the 1999 Maltese Cross? It may help to compare that design as
regards the iteration procedure used. Moving out from the centre square,
its sides decreased first by a half, and then by one-third. The present
design however, has a scale factor that stays the same, so that the
squares halve each time. |
Four
of its inner squares have standing wheat squares inside, occupying half
of their areas: thereby they echo the √2 ratio on the outside. These
standing-wheat squares within relate to the outermost big squares: their
sides are one-twelfth the length of the big outer squares. So this
masterpiece is echoing within and without to a 144-type pattern. It is
concerned with harmony and integration. It has four axes of symmetry.
Talking with John Michell, he said one ought to try and obtain the unit
of measure used in this formation.. He was alluding to the 1/12th
length of the side of the main square.

When I saw the new East Field Formation, it immediately looked like
Morse Code to me ... use just one quarter of the pattern -- the rest of
it is flipped and mirrored horizontally and vertically ...
here's the xlation:

you can google 'morse code' and click the first Link that comes up, or
just use this one to check it out for yourselves:

hmm -- on second thought, maybe you'd better just Google -- EYE use
safari, and don't know how they might code for other browsers ... maybe
it'd work anyhow ...
feedback?

The following are
photo's I took in the East Field formation at about 2pm on Sunday 3rd
July'
The formation was
plastered in mud - whether by the creators or visitors I don't know.
However, this photo was from inside one of the rectangular shapes and
unlikely to have had many visitors by that time of the day
Also, I found a board
mark under downed crop.
The small squares were
disappointing in quality. This photo shows the crop not flattened but
swept against the standing crop, rather like you might get if using a
board.
Many of the squares
also contained damaged and broken stems.

Hundred Acres (East Field), Alton Barnes
A beautiful design, very visible from Adams Grave,
Knap and Golden Ball hill. Reminded me of the snowflake design found in
Avebury in 1994. Very complex, some bent nodes inside, although this
felt rather old and trodden on when we entered on 22 July (appeared in
late June).
Met a couple inside, including a woman who claimed
she saw a UFO the previous day (21 July) over the area, being chased by
military helicopters. She said someone with a walkie talkie had told
her that the military received a radar signal detecting a UFO and had
sent the helicopters out to investigate.
Interestingly, on 20 July I witnessed Army
helicopters doing military exercises from Milk Hill, over the fields
south of it, including very low hovering over shorn crop circles,
although in that instance I saw nothing untoward.
However, they do seem to be unnaturally interested
in the phenomenon.
