Two crop

or 16, 2012
Two crop
pictures on July 11, 2012 at Etchilhampton or Burrow Hill Fort (near
Coventry) seem to have anticipated a powerful solar storm,
which later produced bright auroras all over our planet, not just at
the north and south poles but also at lower latitudes.
Etchilhampton of July 11 showed a clever “basket weave” which
resembles another crop picture from East Field on July 14, 2009. As
was noted at the time, that 2009 crop picture seems to represent the
“granular appearance of our Sun”:
Burrow
Hill Fort on the same day of July 11 showed the schematic image of a
great solar flare, which was surrounded by six different “12”
symbols in order to indicate the next day July 12,
which was when our Sun exploded:
Three or
four days later on July 15 or 16, that cloud of charged plasma
reached Earth, and produced bright auroras all across our planet,
not just at the north or south poles but also at lower latitudes:
The
NASA Spaceweather website commented: “A remarkably long-lasting
geomagnetic storm is
in progress,
as Earth's magnetic field continues to reverberate from the impact
of a CME (coronal mass ejection) on July 14, 2012. Sky watchers in
Scandinavia, Canada, Alaska and northern US states from Maine to
Washington should watch for auroras after nightfall.
When
that CME first arrived on July 14, its effect appeared weak. However
conditions in its wake soon became stormy! On July 15 and 16,
northern lights appeared in the United States as far south as
Oregon,
Colorado,
Missouri,
Utah,
Wisconsin,
Iowa,
Minnesota,
Washington,
Illinois,
Kansas,
South Dakota,
Nebraska,
Michigan
or
Arkansas.
Likewise in the southern hemisphere, an aurora australis has been
sighted in
New Zealand,
Tasmania,
Australia or above the
South Pole”
(see
spaceweather.com of July 16, 2012 or
spaceweather.com).
Such
images of a solar storm might appear even more impressive for
observers out in space, which is where our crop artist friends seem
to be located at present.
