I don’t know if
you heard that a formation was reported on the 28th of
July at Winterbourne Bassett. The farmer destroyed it early in the
morning before anyone had the chance to photograph it from the air
or visit it on the ground.
Today I went over
there to take a look at the sad remains of the formation. All I
could make out was that it had been fairly large (seems to have
spanned five tram lines) and that the periphery had been made up by
a ring about one metre wide. From the few sections of stalks still
lying on the ground, it looked like the pattern must have been quite
complex.
To my great joy, I
discovered that the farmer had not cut grapeshot at the corner of
the field. Seeing the elegant swirl in that little circle (about to
metres in diameter), I can only imagine that the lay in the main
formation must have been very beautiful.
