Looking at the crop circle, Allington, Nr All Cannings, Wiltshire.
Reported 29th July and one of the comments mentions a
similarity to a solar flare on the sun captured on SOHO c2 at 00:06
on 27/07/2012 (
sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov).
I then looked up the sequence of events at the London Olympics
opening ceremony and there is a strange coincidence. The flare sort
of coincides with the entrance of the British team and runs through
the lighting of the flames and the fire works. The fire works start
or peak at 00:50 (
sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov)
and the flare starts to dissipate at this time. I wonder about the
improbability of this coincidence although it is hard to establish
cause and effect if you consider that the flares don't travel
quicker than light. So, it's either a really strange coincidence or
if it is not then I'd love to here how someone explains it. I have a
hypothesis... but it is speculation.
