I work at a
factory a few miles north of the city and we have a works bus
that takes us in, so I first passed that field at about 7:15am.
As an avid enthusiast for Crop circles and other strange
phenomenon I am always looking out for strange events wherever I
travel. I can say with complete confidence the formation was
not there when I proceeded to work. When I was returning from
work at about 5.20pm I only noticed an area of flattened crop. I
wasn’t totally sure if it was a formation as it wasn’t well
defined from the road. After returning home I had a quick
search on a few website to see if anything had been reported. As
there hadn’t I grabbed my camera and headed up to Old Sarum.
As the light
was fading quite quickly I got out my little digital camera and
started to take a few shots trying to get the best perspective.
Unfortunately from my view point the formation didn’t yield up
all its glory. I was unable to distinguish what the far side of
the formation really looked like. I saw that there was a house
very close to the field and I decided to try and gain permission
to visit the circle. Unfortunately the lady who lived in the
house was not the owner of the field. In fact, she was not aware
that there was even a formation, so I showed her a few shots of
what I had captured from the castle. She did tell me that she
didn’t really believe in the phenomenon, although she was unable
to give the permission, she was able to give me the phone number
of the farm manager. Again, I was thwarted and unable to contact
him. So at this point I walked back up to the ramparts of the
castle and tried to get a few more pictures, but the light was
nearly gone and none of the images I took at that point had any
clarity.
So, what I
know about the formation from my own experience is that:
The formation was constructed at some point between
7.15a.m. and 5.20p.m.
There are no witnesses to the formations creation.
Low flying birds seem to divert around the formation
rather than fly directly over it.
Lastly, When I was walking to and from the cottages on the
other side of the field I perceived a low frequency hum. Now, I
suffer mildly from tinnitus (too much speaker abuse at gigs!),
which is a high pitch ringing of the ears that comes and goes
occasionally. This noise was the opposite, more felt than heard.
If you’ve ever listened to a subwoofer playing a drone note
below 20hz you feel the pressure of the soundwave with only a
barely perceptible low note. That is as close as I can describe
the noise. As this is the opposite to tinnitus, I do not
believe that was the cause of the sound but I am open to
suggestions as to what it was.
I Have since
contacted the farm manager and he has granted me permission to
enter the field on Sunday 9th May. So hopefully I
will be able to get some good close up video and shots of the
crop to see if the stalks are bent or the nodes have warped. And
a friend has a Geiger counter, so we see if there are any
anomalies to the background radiation to what they read within
the circle. Hopefully we will be trying to fly a small remote
controlled UAV with mounted camera over the circle, hopefully we
shall get some good images!
I shall give a
further update after we have taken a closer look.
