It was Sunday 7th
of July 1996 when the crop circle makers made a day light formation
in the same field, almost 14 years ago !. The makers have returned
to this location once again by making a giant 500 foot (exactly – in
length ) formation, lying close to the A303 but yet you wouldn’t
know its there.
Directly opposite
is Stonehenge which is patrolled by security throughout the night.
When we arrived it was still dark and parked close to the perimeter
of Stonehenge and without much delay torch light was soon beaming
towards us. It is without doubt that these guys were very observant
and soon questioned us if we had any intentions of ‘JUMPING’ , this
is a term used by them as frequent jumpers climb over the fence and
run towards Stonehenge just to touch the stones. We in turn asked
them if they saw or heard anything in the last few nights, they
replied that they did not see or hear anything unusual and were
unaware of the formation even being there.
The makers once
again have chosen a less mature crop but I think we can safely say
that position and location plays an important part in their choice
of delivering that important message to us all. Whatever the message
may be, Im sure it will keep us busy theorizing over the next few
months.
The frost covered
Canola formation was just so immense that at eye level its very
difficult to determine what the actual design may be. Streaming
avenues taper from wide to narrow points meeting at the centre
circle and never seen in Canola before, an intricate basket weave
dominated the formation as we have all seen in wheat back in 2009.
Good 80% of the formation, plants are now rising and resuming
growth, only days after a force of unexplainable nature touched
their bloom. Also it was a delight to see the usual tufts of
standing stems with swirling stems bent around the base –a term I
coined last year as a ‘bouquet’ .
This formation like
many others are precision and flawless creations by master craftsman
which there are many who still refuse to accept that such a feat is
possible with that dreaded term ‘ THE PLANK’. I stand my ground to
inform you all that the first two formations of this season are
perfection in creation and these are creations not done by man!. To
finalize this short report – once again we felt that watching eyes
were with us on the distant horizon, a ball of light appeared on
two occasions and in two different locations, at times blazing with
brightness which was clearly visible on a bright and sunny morning,
an event which was witnessed by 5 other people. Thank you for
listening.
