GREAT! MAN-MADE crop Pattern BUT a Shabby TV Documentary

Image Eva-Marie Brekkestø Copyright 2009
From what I can make out It consists
of a central circle with many smaller circles
of differing sizes arranged around the outside of the
main one. It is not very large, possibly 150 ft max.
Unfortunately this crop circle bares
all the hallmarks of being a man made hoax. Specifically
the top layer of this crop circle is completely covered
in mud. I do not mean a few muddy paths left around the
circle by the apparently few visitors so far in the day,
but systematically covered in a thin layer of mud over
every part of the circle. I have attached many pictures
to show the extent of this 'fouling from above'. Other
notable features include the fact that most of the
circles are heavily pressed to the floor and very muddy
in the centres and although remaining muddy to the
outside they are far less trodden here. There are some
nice swirls and weavings but given the evidence on the
ground I would have to conclude that this crop circle is
most definitely a rather poor man made attempt. I
conclude this mostly due to the systematic deposit of
large amounts of mud on the entire upper surface of the
crop circle, this is consistent with being trodden flat
with muddy boots and a board. It should be noted that it
rained heavily the day before and into the evening of
the night on which this circle appeared leaving the
ground wet and muddy. By the time of our visit the next
morning the ground was still slightly damp yet we left
no muddy marks on the circle as we walked around it.
Other factors that lead me to believe this to
be mechanically made by man are the relatively simple
geometry and the small size when compared to other
formations in the area over the past weeks and also the
fact that a set of tramlines runs conveniently through
the dead centre point of the formation.
All in all very poor and not difficult to spot as a hoax
on the ground. It is however interesting to note that
some moderately good swirls and sculptures are not out
of the reach of man and his plank.....
