Reconstruction of the 2007 Chilcomb Down formation | ||
1. | ![]() | Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. |
2. | ![]() | Copy circle 1 to its righthand intersection with the horizontal centerline. |
3. | ![]() | Copy circle 1 to its lefthand intersection with the horizontal centerline. |
4. | ![]() | Draw the connecting line between the two upper intersections of circle 1 with circles 2 and 3. |
5. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the intersection of line 4 and the vertical centerline, tangent to circle 1 at the upper side. |
6. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 5 at the lower side. |
7. | ![]() | Copy circle 6 to the center of circle 2. |
8. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 2, tangent to circle 5 at the lower righthand side. |
9. | ![]() | Copy circle 8 to the center of circle 1. |
10. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the upper intersection of circle 1 and the vertical centerline, tangent to circle 9 at the upper side. |
11. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 10 at the lower side. |
12. | ![]() | Copy circle 11 to the center of circle 2. |
13. | ![]() | Only circles 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11 and 12 are needed for the final reconstruction. |
14. | ![]() | Remove all parts not visible in the formation itself. |
15. | ![]() | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... |
16. | ![]() | ...or to flattened crop. This will finish the reconstruction of the 2007 Chilcomb Down crop circle formation. |
17. | ![]() | The final result, matched with the aerial image. |
