Location: Borum, ca. 12 km west of Aarhus
Crop: Wheat

This Crop Circle is the largest reported formation in Denmark since 1995  and  was shown in the television. It was located (15 km north west from Aarhus). It is similar to the Avebury Down formation reported 16th July 2000, but obviously without the avenue. 

Reported by Thomas Rosted Jensen.

This second image of the Borum formation, was sent to us by Jonah, which includes the third circle of the formation, not shown in the large image above. It appears to be a single circle, completely separate from the main formation, but not entirely circular?  

Description: A 10.5 meter ring enclosing a 66-meter standing circle with 3 arced "windmill wing" arms laid inside, each 33 meters long, joining at the circle's center. From this a pathway 36.5 meters long and 2.3-3 meters wide, going in a southeasterly direction and ending in a circle with a 22-meter diameter. 19.5 meters down the tramline toward the South was a third circle 8 meters in diameter. There are at least 3 diatonic ratios in the measurements.

The formation is on a slope and very clearly-seen from a well-traveled road. Stems were bent not broken and the seedheads were aligned in bands and bundles within the ring. There was weaving of many bundles at the first third and last third of each arc. Isolated plants of other sorts were left standing. The formation is within a tiny geographical triangle of 3 old man-made hill mounds, with 21 such mounds within 2 kilometers, and it's axis points to the area's major mound. This is Denmark's most complicated and perfect formation to date.
