Our
newly active Sun: is something afoot?
Developments are obviously going far too fast now, for the CMM Research
Group to solve all of these new and complex crop pictures before a
possible solar event on July 7. Our Sun has become fairly active
recently in solar cycle 24. See an attached image from the NASA SOHO
website for June 30, 2009:
Either of
those two bright, active regions on the left-hand side of our Sun could
in principle "shoot something out" in the next few days. No one on Earth
can predict whether that will happen. Only our crop artist friends can
do that. When they showed us their first "solar flare" crop picture at
Rutlands Farm on April 23, 2009, similar images of Sun were completely
blank.
Part 3 of
Milk Hill, drawn in the same style as South Field of June 27, will not
be impossible to solve, but there may not be time. Yesterday we made
some progress at understanding the central long column from South Field
on June 27. It seems to show schematically on left and right the
brightest stars from our zodiac, and tells us that our Sun
(lower teardrop shape) will be in Gemini, while our eclipsed Moon (upper
large circle) will in Capricorn, for some upcoming important event. Two
half-circles on either side may tell us where certain planets (Venus and
Mars?) will be on that day. The Sun's teardrop shape as drawn there is a
standard symbol for "coronal mass ejection".
Likewise,
Part 3 of Milk Hill may tell us, in the same kind of intricate
star language, where five bright astronomical objects from
Ptolemy's solar system will be on that day. We will just have to do what
we can. No one is talking anymore about "Doug and Dave" or "hoaxers".
These are clearly messages from extra-terrestrials, meant for the whole
population on Earth. Yet the newspapers and TV channels remain strangely
silent. Why is that?

MILK HILL. THE SEXTANT AND THE STARS.
The initial section of
the Milk Hill formation has two pointers, forming (possibly) the sides
of a sextant, dividers or measuring instrument indicating two directions
on the ground that appear to be set at ninety degrees to each other.
One of the pointers
follows the tractor tramlines and it is possible to take a bearing on
the direction being pointed to (using the tram lines to establish this
bearing accurate to about one degree).
The pointers are
directed to 13 degrees east of north, and 13 degrees south of east, in
astronomical terms azimuths 13 and 103 degrees on the local horizon. I
believe these measures are accurate to about half a degree either way.
The tram lines themselves having slight variations and I’ve averaged
these bearings including the track up the side of the field. The field
itself is over a kilometre in length.
The pointers in the crop
form indicate where the star Rigel rises and where the star Theta Auriga
rises.
The pointer to Orion’s
brightest star, Rigel, at Milk Hill, coincides with another much larger
pointer to the same star because Rigel currently falls into alignment
with the north face of Great Pyramid.
Diagram from “The Star
Mirror”
The second pointer, to
the north, finds the rising point of Theta Auriga. This star is
currently located on the solsticial colure, so it shared the meridian of
the solstice sun at the time this crop form was created.
It is unlikely that one
would find two bright stars rising ninety degrees apart with random
pointing. Both these stars are in the Duat of ancient Egypt and Theta
Auriga is directly north of both Orion and the solstice sun. Auriga is
the Charioteer with four notable stars currently resting on the
solsticial colure.
Also, Theta Auriga is
one of the four brightest stars in Auriga, and these four stars make the
shape of a cross. Ironically the diagram of this cross, with Theta
Auriga on one arm, is on the same page as an illustration for a set of
dividers in “The Star Mirror” published in 1998.
Diag
Summary (i).
These two stars, Rigel
and Theta Auriga, rise ninety degrees apart on the local horizon. One is
Orion’s brightest star and the other is the brightest star directly
above the solstice sun sharing the solsticial colure. The two crop
circle pointers, whether by chance or not, indicate both the position of
their risings and the ninety degrees between the rising points.
THE SKY ABOVE MILK
HILL.
In addition to these
stellar alignments the 90 degree dividers seem relevant to another
astronomical feature.
The sky over the White
Horse formation on the morning of the summer solstice is divided into
four equal segments by the galactic equator and the meridian of the
ecliptic.
At sunrise on the
solstice these lines cross at right angles near the zenith over Avebury
and, at this time, the two poles of the galaxy are both located on the
circle of the local (astronomical) horizon, each pole being ninety
degrees from the rising solstice sun.
Summary (ii)
The ninety degree
pointers may have many functions. They indicate the rising points of two
brilliant stars as well as describing the angle between the galactic
equator and the ecliptic meridian passing overhead at sunrise on the
morning the crop form was first seen.
The pointers also
describe the angular distance (of 90 degrees) between the sun at the
solstice and the two galactic poles, and again this can be measured
around the local horizon.
This all draws attention
to our stellar epoch during which the sun at the solstice transits the
galactic equator. It will be more than ten thousand years before this
happens again…and who knows, it may take that long to decipher all those
glyphs!

Tonight when I saw this
new formed crop circle, which has been completed in 2 nights, I
immediately thought of a ‘belly dancer’ away and found a matching
picture… remarkable resemblance, don’t you think? Especially pay
attention to the ‘tear drop shaped belt-buckle’ in both pictures.
I would like to call this one
“The Belly Dancer”.

Alton Barnes white horse and
orange lights.
Further to my e-mail of 21st June, later on that
evening at 10.30 I saw 5 orange lights coming through the gap
between Walkers Hill and Knap Hill at Alton Barnes. They were in a
line, one after the other; as they reached the village itself, the
first one raised up quite slowly, and at first I thought it might be
a plane banking towards the west, but then the formation stayed like
that as it slowly ascended while moving towards the south until went
into a bank of cloud and disappeared. About 5 minutes later a single
orange light appeared from the direction as the original five and
again slowly ascended while heading south until it again
disappeared into the cloud. All this time I was using binoculars and
there was definitely no solid object behind the lights (i.e. Plane
or helicopters) and there was no sound whatsoever. We have
helicopters regularly practising near the hills and the sound is
very apparent even from quite a long way off. They were obviously
not balloons or kites as they would have been affected by the
thermals rising, and also would not kept to such a strict formation.
It is only a few minutes ago when I searched on my computer that I
learned that these lights have been seen before in the same area. I
wonder if anyone else saw them. I would have thought that this would
be very likely, as the car park on Knap Hill contains several
vehicles, as people have come for the Solstice celebrations, and the
lights would have been right overhead.

The first thing what I saw on "Wiltshire
formation" was our Planetary System (inner Planets). In 2012 our Sun
system will have a unique Planet constellation. See it in
the Formation from :Avebury
in Wiltshire 15.07.2008 And in the formation we see the
"SYNC-BEAM" The transformation (Boxes) and our inner Planetary
System. (See Picture for more details).

There is an excellent picture of this
formation, which in my opinion, quite clearly shows the oval main
shape as an alien face, with “slanted” eyes n all. The floor lay of
the crop must have been specifically intended to give this effect,
but only if the light and shadows are right.
The original part seems to me,
to be point towards planetary alignment, with the oval main shape
representing an elliptical path. The points seem to represent north
and east compass points, being dissected at 45 degrees and quite
clearly pointing to the hill. The whole thing looking a bit like a
sexton as used by the Navy for navigation of the stars. (connection
between Earth and sky???)
UPDATE:-
Little update for you on
this wet morning. I had a look at the line-up with the face and
Milk hill, and although you could stretch it a bit, there is no
conclusive line up. Milk hill is practically due south of
Avebury and therefore Waden Hill, so, if you did interpret the
points as compass points, you could suggest that the formation
is suggesting “look north” and you will find another Alien face.
Alternately, if you follow the right hand edge of the northern
point, this does indeed line up with Waden hill. This deviates
approx 5 degrees from the axis through the formation. Also
again, you could interpret the sextant as pointing to the same
thing, in that the line which comes out at 45 degrees, also
deviates 5 degrees as it leaves the arc of the sextant. All very
subjective, but who knows.

ANCHORUPRIGHTTWK
Last night on TV was a show "Nostradamus and 2012"
showing a much hyped "lost book" newly found supposedly with
illustrations by Nostradamus. I was questioning the entire thing, all
two hours of it, until I remembered the above described crop circle (see
attachment). I think the picture I enclose is upside down to what I saw,
but Nostradamus on his "page 7" had a pendant displaying exactly this
crop circle!
My question is: what date was this crop circle?
I am of the opinion that all crop circles are placed with the intention
of being seen from the air, so that means that the circle makers know we
have the ability to get up there. The crop circles I saw at Bathurst,
being "keyhole" type, I thought for some reason were extremely common.
This is why I did not send it to you for 5 years. On reviewing all your
work, I see at the most another three, none of which were identical. The
angle of the "offset" circle being different on each. I was amazed to
see they were world wide, and that all the "keyhole" ones seem
amateurish, as if a "learner" circle maker was doing the work.
I have placed all your pictures that seem to apply; into files, named
"Astronomical", "Comet Hits" "Chaotic Orbit" "Wormholes" and so on. I
think I should open one and call it "Magnetic Field". They all seem to
be warnings - trying to reach out into our intellect and get a message
across.
You might be interested to know that Nostradamus in his "hidden texts"
(anagrams which form meaning taken from each line of his verses, in
every single case they say something), has mentioned using "music" as
part of his code. This was corroborated by yourselves I believe.
The appearance of music in a crop circle I mean...
The Flying Scarab with Sun Disc seems to have only one prior source - on
a wall bas relief. Which, to me, only validates the crop
circle.
What started me on this course is the work I have been doing on
Nostradamus since 1981. All of which seemed a waste of time once I found
out about the anagrams. I have done a chapter I titled "Climate Change",
(from the face value verses as well as now from the anagrams) and
strangely, some of his work (in many areas) seems to have an
illustration in a crop circle. Many are related to planetary
happenings, and even "visitors"...
One example; Amongst the climate change warnings to us he has given a
new recipe for fuel. So this is the reason I am taking the anagram work
seriously. And the crop circles.

The erection of a new world tree
This formation shows the rebirth of planet earth in the beginning of
new age in 2012. The formation has been formed in 2 days, which
refers to the dynamic process of this recreation process. The centre
of this formation depicts an “egg” linked with a sextant of 90°,
which refers to new life in connection with the 4 seasons (during
one season the sun moves 90° through the zodiac). For this reason
the formation has been formed on midsummer. However, the sextant
precisely points to 45°. On the 5th May, the sun is exactly half way
between the beginning of spring (20th March) and the beginning of
summer (20th - 21st June), which exactly corresponds with a
difference of 45° in the zodiac. In the year 2012, the 5th May is
characterized by a planetary alignment, namely an alignment of the
sun, Jupiter, the black moon, Sedna (which actually is Nibiru) and
the south node:
Actually on this day a 6th dwarf planet will be aligned, namely the
asteroid Ceres, which however is seldom interpreted in astrology.
This has been depicted as a barely visible circle.
The planetary alignment of this day is of mayor importance, because
this is connected with the notorious planetary alignment on the 5th
May 2000, 12 years before: on that day all personal planets,
including the sun and moon were aligned. Also the relative position
of the black moon to the nodes of the moon is fully identical: the
mutual position of these energetical points show a cycle of exactly
6 years.
The angle of 45 degrees of the sextant refers to the precise
alignment of the sun during midsummer (20th or 21st June) with the
so called Hunab Ku, meanwhile the sun moves 45 degrees through the
zodiac, starting from the 5th May 2012. The Hunab Ku is the
Maya-term for the centre of our galaxy, which is said to be the
source of new life. This means that on that day the Earth is in the
centre of the galaxy for an observer on the sun and this also
explains why this formation arose on this day. For an observer on
Earth however, a few days earlier, on the 14th June, the sun will be
aligned with the central belt star of Orion and the Orion Nebula,
which is also considered as a place of creation by the
Maya-civilization. Note moreover that the centre of the galaxy
actually is an area and for an observer on the sun on the 14th June
the earth still can be considered to be in the centre of the galaxy.
Note also that the day of this formation falls exactly 40 draconic
months before the recreation of the world.
The 14th June 2012 also falls 40 days after the 5th May and the
period of 40 days always has been considered as a holy number
especially regarding a creation process in time. This is connected
with the “Tzolkin” the holy galactic calendar of the Maya. This
calendar consists of a cycle of 20 days (the 20 so called solar
seals) along with a cycle of 13 days: the 13 tones of creation. The
period of 40 days precisely fits with the cycle of 20 days and there
is a difference of only 1 day regarding the 13 tones of creation (3
x 13 = 39 instead of 40). Moreover it’s very notable that the 14th
June 2012 has the same “signature” regarding the Tzolkin as the 5th
May 2000: the recreation of the world has a relationship with a
personal realignment. The rebirth of planet Earth has been depicted
by a channel of birth at both sides of the line that depicts this
birth.
However still we may wonder why the formation clearly tells us: 45
degrees and not 40 degrees. In this respect we should note that on
the day of the recreation of the world Venus and the Pleiades among
others play the first violin. When we “measure” the distance from
the sun to the midpoint of Venus and the Pleiades on the 5th May
2012 and compare this with the 14th June 2012, we find the following
values:
5th May 2012: sun: 15° Taurus; Venus/Pleiades: 11° Gemini;
difference: -26°
14th June 2012: sun 24° Gemini; Venus/Pleiades: 5° Gemini;
difference: 19°
The position of the sun relative to the midpoint of Venus and the
Pleiades precisely moves 19° - -26° = 19° + 26° = 45°!
At the top of the formation, the process of coming to an alignment
of the 5 celestial bodies has symbolically been depicted. Note that
this is connected with 6 x 2 squares, which seems to refer to the
orrery, or the mechanical device that is used to simulate the
movements of the planets (see article CMM), ending up in this
alignment. However we also find the following numbers:
6
2
6 x 2 = 12 (number of squares)
2 + 12 = 14
6 + 2 + 12 = 20
Out of the numbers 14, 6, 20 and 12 the date 14/6/2012 can be
derived! The 5 bows with a decreasing number of circles, seems to
refer to a kind of symbolic “count down” until the 14th June. In
this respect he crop circle makers paid extra attention to the
important solar eclipse of the 20th – 21st May, 24 days before the
recreation of the world.
It’s very notable that the crop circle makers in 2009 pay a lot of
attention to the recreation of the world on the 14th June 2012: this
is already the 7th crop circle formation that refers to this! This
is in contrast with the crop circle formations of 2008: in 2008 the
main theme of the crop circle formations was the true end of the
spiral of time on the 1st June 2012 (which is not the 21st
December 2012 as Maya-researchers believe): the impressive number of
10 (!) formations, which appeared on very specific dates in the year
2008 clearly pointed to the different aspects of that. Why??
2008 – 2012: 4 years, 4 is the number of the cross, the 4
wind-directions of the erection of a world tree and the cross that
crosses present age
2009 – 2012: 3 years, 3 is the number of harmony and that is the aim
of the recreation of the world: restoring and creating harmony!
Conclusion: the recreation of the world on the 14th June
2012 should not be considered as doomsday, but as the day
of the full restoration of harmony on planet Earth!!!

The tear drop has been identified as a solar
storm in other commentary. This image speaks of what appears to be a
technological relationship to such a storm. An old school crop
circle cross is actually bent and apparently locked into its
relationship with the teardrop.

This
is a short criticism of the article posted by The CMM group about the
Milk Hill formation July 21st.
CMM say:
“Milk Hill of June 21, 2009 showed a
large, teardrop-shaped symbol for planet Earth, in order to tell us that
five CMEs from the Sun will follow curved paths through interplanetary
space to reach our planet soon.”
It would be helpful if you did not
make statements like this and recognised that you are speculating. The
latest addition to this crop form suggests your speculation is
incorrect. I, for one, can see no good reason why the earth should be
depicted in the shape you suggest or why the sun should be depicted five
times as ever decreasing circles. Your data is also riddled with factual
errors, a few are indicated below.
CMM say:
“Two long, thin arrows mark where along
the horizon our Moon will be located on July 7 at 1200 UT (due north) or
1700 UT (due east).”
On July 7th the Moon at 1200 UT is
about 60 degrees below the Avebury horizon and at 1700 UT it is about 30
degrees below the Avebury horizon
CMM say:
“An earlier crop picture at Milk Hill on
June 13 suggested that our Sun would flare late in the afternoon of July
7 at 1700 UT, when it is low in the west.”
The sun is about 30 degrees above
the Avebury horizon at this time.
CMM say:
Based on previous examples from 2004 or
early 2009, we can be pretty sure that their “teardrop” symbol
represents a coronal mass ejection from our Sun. Why then would they
have drawn planet Earth in the form of a large “teardrop” on June 21,
unless several CMEs will impact upon it soon?
In my opinion this is, at best,
tortured logic.
UPDATE:-
I just measured the Milk Hill (1-2-3) formation with GPS. From end to
end it is 400 metres, so far.
Mark Vidler |
The
Milk Hill (3) formation with its latest addition reminded me of
the theory by Jeremy Stride that most circles are showing us
alternative energy propulsion systems: cropcircleship.com
I don't recall seeing this mentioned on your site before so
thought I'd share it with you.
Geoff Dykes |
This was completed in two stages and it
was only possible after the second stage to make any kind of
interpretation, some people seem to have based their
comments on the appearance of the first stage only. My
interpretation for what it is worth is as follows:-
The diagram represents an instrument or a
machine for controlling a source of energy. The nearest
thing to it in my experience is a Steam Regulator. In effect
the diagram is showing five positions controlled by the
lever moving through the quadrant. Five levels of pressure
are available, indicated by the five streams of bubbles
coming from the steam source. The inner stream is one of
minimum pressure when the steam supply is almost shut off,
the outer large bubble stream indicates maximum pressure.
There are three groups of rectangles. These are three
pressure regulators or filters. The paths of three of the
bubble streams can be traced passing through them and the
sizes of the bubbles indicate the controlled
intermediate steam pressure level available for selection
out of the full total of five levels used to power the steam
engine or other steam operated device.

Milk (3) Galileo's Odd number Law of
Gravity
I have a different idea of the context for Milk Hill
(3). Whoever put the formation in the field knows a lot about science
and Metrology because the formation appears to relate to gravity
measurements and the use of a gnomon (I don't think it's necessarily a
sextant but shadows establishing true north).
I can only explain parts of it with following images:
It is clear from the Gyph IMHO that the bits added
later (lines in red) relate to Galileo's Gravitational Law of Fall
called his "Odd number" law. Because an object falls at a rate such that
the difference between: rest - 1 second is distance 1] [1-2 seconds is
distance 3] etc So this Glyph marks 5 seconds of fall or 5 squared and
odd number 9.
The lower pendulum part is sitting at the Equilibrium
point - where gravity is equal on both sides. Plus the 'set square'
above this looks like a gnomon for casting shadows to determine time of
day or calculate the compass directions of true north. The 1:1 marks
each side may indicate a 2 seconds pendulum which would be the height of
39.1 inches or 3.25ft. But a measure of the pivot point to the base in
the field can calculate the time oscillations.
The above information is just a starting point. I don't know what the
curves and circles are except that the curves and circles flat line at
the other side.
but I think this is a good start as it appears scientific in nature as
an instrument about time/gravity and movement in space/time.
But if anything else it's an interesting pattern to what we have seen
before. If you try to "look at both sides of the coin" so to speak, at
the same time, this is the mirrored image:
I leave to to readers to imagine what it looks like
now.
Been a very intriguing season so far.

Reading from the top to
bottom, I am seeing that the formation began with a "sexton" indicating
a direction, or like it is capturing or receiving incoming data or a
message. Below that is the "alien face". Is the alien face telling
us that they are sending this data? To the left of the face are rows
with circles 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 - a countdown. The countdown lines lead to
oblong boxes, like the data is coming in, then being processed, and then
streams of symbols or "data" are forming below the oblong boxes. The
streams of data that are still forming, need to be translated or
cracked. There is a message in this code or language.
I have been an avid formation follower for many years, but I feel that
the messages are becoming more insistent or pressing. At first I
believed that they were being caused by man made radio or magnetic waves
or signals, due to the huge increase in the use of satellites. But I
now feel that they are incoming towards us from an other source.

About the newest addition to the Milk Hill
enigma, and the South Field "bird" both near Alton Priors:
An expert in the Mayan language should be
shown these long strings of images. They are messages. Each
length of "writing" contains at least one and in some cases,
three or four, Mayan numbers, straight off the Mayan calendar.
I personally sensed that the Milk Hill glyph was an attempt at
communication from day one. The top curved part, above the
"teardrop" is obviously a radio telescope dish, aiming in a
specific direction.
My nephew immediately thought these strings
of images looked like a map of a circuit board- what those who
design such stuff draw out prior to building the actual board.
The long rectangles on the Milk Hill figure strongly resemble
part of the design capture.
Circuit_board
Just a thought- anyone out there care to try
building a new type of circuit board, BEfore the solar storms
rip up all our electronic communication?

We have here one of the
most impressive crop circles of all time reaching out to warn us of some
possible crisis concerning our nearest star the sun which could have an
effect on every man, woman & child on our planet yet not a word from the
media. Millions of people are being deprived of what may be the most
important single event in recent history. so called experts and
professors telling us that these designs were made by drunken students
or a couple of old blokes having a bit of fun in the middle of the night
with little more than a piece of string and some planks of wood..
Governmental & financial leaders who don't want you to know the truth as
this will jeopardise their control over you & that’s not
good..! Therefore newspapers will continue getting D notices. Scientists
will continue to debunk it & intelligence agencies will keep feeding you
disinformation.. This I believe is why over the last 20 years the ETs have
decided to communicate to us the ordinary people.. Problem is we need to
wake up & pay attention here as all signs indicate we are running out of
time!! Finally we should be very grateful to both Mark & Stuart who
without their website we would never get to see these awesome messages.
I salute you boys. this is your destiny!!!

I haven't had much time, but I have partially translated one of the
lines of script that was written.This line, which is the the second
in from the bottom (when looking left to right from the centre of
the formation), it contains reference to an 'alloy', using a
'minerals', periodic table '11' is Sodium, then 'Zinc', and then the
'13' element, which is Aluminum. The spiral has confused me, perhaps
it refers to 'mixing' the 'three' in a 'firepan', and there's
reference to a 'blacksmith'. John. |

This crop circle tells
a story. At the top we have a comet in the process of forming four major
fragments the aliens are guiding the process. Four fragments are always
associated with Comet C, which should impact earth near the end of the
22nd century according to the Heck Hypothesis. The two extra
bars shown with the top fragment are two extra energy impulses from the
aliens to create a larger distance than usual between the fragment and
the comet itself. Next to it is a strange object never before seen in
crop circles?
It seems to be a
man-made satellite, not orbiting earth, but the sun at a distance far
enough out to detect possible comets coming into the inner solar system
and passing closely enough to this planet to be of concern.
The outlines between the satellite and the comet represent radar or
other electromagnetic impulses since sunlight would be useless for
detection purposes at that distance. On the other side are five
different readings of the comet’s trajectory based on the number of
fragments detected. The rectangular figures are tracking stations which
gather the data transmitted back to earth from the satellite. They are
scattered across the globe.
Interestingly, the
final form of the comet isn’t transmitted by the satellite since the
comet is probably well inside the satellite’s orbit by then. The point
at which the comet acquires a coma (usually near the asteroid belt) is
indicated by the small circle with the ring around it.
The curved trajectory
lines suggest a building with a circular ceiling, or Quonset structure,
where the all the data is compiled and correlated to calculate more
refined trajectories for the comet. The comet figures at the top look
like ceiling lights. Unfortunately Dr. Gerald Hawkins isn’t with us to
help decipher the symbols which look like writing not in use today. The
crop circle as a whole implies that even with sophisticated detection
and tracking, the aliens will succeed in their intention to strike the
earth with this comet at predetermined impact points.

Analysis of Crop Circles with Grey Heads:
Milk Hill Analysis
This one is about thinking about where you
want to go, the Sextant and Orrery, Astro-Navigation or astronaut – star
sailor. The Grey or Grey Matter – which is what I think all the heads
are all referring to, has one eye looking forward, visible, the other
looking back, invisible. It also has a triplicate central swirls
portraying direction, Way to go. The Planets and the Sun visualise
spatial destinations, the rectangles to the side are maps. Looking at
the lines coming off the drops there are definite themes of thinking
about what mode you take, I’ll start with the bottom line with:
5 dots – Here you can see Trains, track,
platforms and other railway symbolism. The train with wheels, the
furthest from the dots is a steam train, steam is coming out of the
back, it has wheels, the one nearest the dots is a maglev train, no
wheels, but has circuit diagram symbols, to indicate this.
4 dots – This is Air travel, you can see
images of aircraft taking off, above the steam of the steam train, and
fly-by-wire dots-curved-line-dot-curved-lines. There is morse ... and
three lines up to the next section. This part does not include any
parts apart from this that are not attached to the flight path or
tramline. The planes taxi, manoeuvre and land at airports, as planes
plainly do.
3 dots – This is an image of Road transport,
with GPS Sat Nav in the same manner as fly-by-wire above. When walking
through there is a sensation that you want to speed up and run on the
winding country and rigid city roads. A truck is pictured, slightly
uphill from the platforms, a car front or rear concludes this section
furthest away from the dots.
2 dots - This is electronic circuit board
circuitry, with switches and wires rigid as they would be on a circuit
board. Electric Current travels, flows, and a lot of our travel and
contacts are made via electric telephony for example which is mobile.
This interlinks with the 1 dot line at the battery point.
1 dot – This is the Flow of Water, boats,
Navigation. The bit nearest the dots, upstream is a river, in out in
out, meandering, locks and lakes are present, finally ending in a body
of water, the rectangle at the end. This links up with the 2 dot line,
as both are current and both flow, at the point where the line diverged
down, moving up again, via a pump, 2 dots up and down of the line of
flow.
0 dots – the part at the end of 1, 2 and 3
dots if you turn the image around 90 Degrees clockwise is a Cyberman,
the hair in blocks, the mouth sad, eye wide, ears as 2 antennae, body
with a large on/off button on his back leaning in to the Aircraft
section. This portrays the flow of information on the internet, Cyber
surfing the waves on-line.
