Aren't the circle makers nice to us this year! We've had another beautiful formation in The Netherlands, again in the North, at Emmen: a city about 60 kilometres from where we live. A pilot friend called us Friday, July 11th, and told us about 2 formations at Emmen. One of those (the Growing Seed, as we've called it) you've already seen through our last mail, including a diagram made by Bert Janssen. This second one contains 2 circles, connected by two corridors. The biggest circle is surrounded by 2 complete rings and one ring that's not complete (the latter with a diameter of 31 meters), which reminds us of the 1990 Rainbow Formations of Telegraph Hill and Litchfield. Peter Sorensen said in his diagram that the corridors of those Rainbow Formations weren't in the middle, instead their edges precisely aligned with the circle centres. This makes it very hard for us humans to make them. This one at Emmen reminds us very much of that story! As you can see on the diagram below, the same feature seems to be in this Emmen formation.
Both Emmen formations were old as we entered them last Saturday July 12th. We think they are about 4 weeks old. A lot of rye was growing towards the sun again. We found no anomalies with our magnet and/or compass, however the formations did impress us indeed! We had a better feeling about these two formations than of the Assen Antenna. We guess the circle makers have become fond of The Netherlands!.
