I am so lucky
to be living in Wiltshire – the heart of Crop Circle country. This
afternoon, Sunday 14th , I went to visit the formation at
South Field, Alton Priors. Such a beautiful sunny day and spoilt
for choice for formations. Anyway, we ended up visiting this one. On
entering, it did seem somewhat messy, especially compared to the
‘Phoenix’ ( which by the way, was something else!). Lots of the
wheat was standing up. The wheat was broken in most places, some
evidence of bending but to be honest I wasn’t up for a detailed
inspection today – just wanted to chill out. The lay was clockwise,
layering in parts, some rough tufts. On ground level it lacked the
precision of the Phoenix. Edges were more rugged. Perhaps, I
shouldn’t compare as it has a totally different feel to it than the
‘Phoenix’. Although, complex in its own right it didn’t give me the
‘wow’ factor but hey, I’ve been spoilt! It was a great afternoon and
we met some lovely fellow enthusiasts and had a good chat with them.
Also, we all saw some curious and interesting lights outside the
formation. I will post these photographs separate to the report for
inclusion on a different part of the page. Would be interested in
opinions.'

So today (15th June) after Barbury, I
bumbled over to Southfield, and was surprised to see this formation is
in quite young wheat, which made me feel a tad uncomfortable walking
around. As my ground shots show, this crop is laid at about 60 degrees
angle from the earth. The wheat is flowing clockwise throughout. There
is a small centre swirl of standing wheat, I have taken pictures from
this swirl, which hopefully shows it lining up with Knapp Hill, Adams
Grave and Woodborough Hill. The edge of the outer circle is like Morse
code, for want of better terminology, it looks like dot dot dash,
sort of thing, creating a jagged effect, whilst all the other
curves are smooth.
