'Here is a good example of what I describe as 'energy leak' which I have come to accept as a recurring anomaly in crop circles. Seen on the edges of tramlines and most often in crop less ripened and retarded in growth due most probably to tractor traffic, the green stems remain standing in an otherwise laid down area. It's almost as if the energy that effects the laying process is somehow disengaged momentarily due perhaps to moisture differentials. Another theory would be 'mass' differential as the tramline void is less dense than the laid crop. A useful observation in the absence of node bending later in the season.'
