Just visited the South formation at 4 pm this
afternoon (1 Aug). Someone there said they had spoke to the Owner
of the Five Bells pub (near the field) and the owner said that the
formation had been there since Friday a week ago, 23 July. Also, I
noticed a "signature" circle outside of the 20' wide, 300' diameter
ring (photo attached) which clearly had not been walked on like the
rest of the formation. Looking at the connector photos, this circle
is clearly not in any of the aerials, so must have appeared since
those photos. The location of the signature circle is about 80 ft
clockwise from the "apostrophe" looking mark. The circle was about
three feet in from the nearest tram line and 4 feet outside of the
formation ring. No sign of anyone having gone through the standing
wheat and the centre is straight up with the downed wheat quite
fluffy. Lastly, as we crossed the M4 to find the "sister"
formation, some other croppies told us they had just been in the
field and it has been mowed out. We could clearly see where some of
the field had been mowed.
