05.06.2007 - Abbots Down, near Everleigh Ashes, Wilts - Barley - 200ft. Approx.

The striking Abbots Down formation is the first time the crop circles have shown us a three-dimensional representation of a globe. This design seems strangely familiar somehow, many similar examples of this type of design can be found throughout world-media as logos etc.

A globe may imply the planet, or like the circle may represent wholeness and unity. Interestingly, 2005 saw many four-fold designs, perhaps this in someway brings those explorations of fourness to some kind of resolution.

Cut into four sections horizontally and vertically, the formation comprises sixteen individual components. Four (of course) is the square root of sixteen.

This formation displays the usual economy of features in conveying its meaning. Using the diagram, the black and white sections reveal it is a planet, asteroid, or comet. The two interior curved lines give the impression of a globe. The parallel lines suggest the equator, tropic of Capricorn and tropic of cancer on the earth. The general theme of any crop circle is that what we have now won't be continuing on unchanged. So, the conclusion is that one or more comet strikes will alter the tilt of the earth (about 23.45 degrees) to some extent. This will change the present locations of the tropics of cancer and Capricorn, plus the arctic and Antarctic circles (not shown in the formation). Comet B with its northern impact points will be the most likely candidate to change the earth's tilt the most.
