A slightly irregular, 9 m diameter circle in young wheat. Discovered on June 6, around 1.30 AM, while its creation might have been witnessed by famous Dutch crop circle spotter Robbert van den Broeke. Looking out of the window of his room, he noticed a small light which he thought was a bright star or a planet, of a very faint pinkish colour. The object however appeared to come closer he noticed that it was actually not very far away, and seemed to be hanging above the field after his house, at a distance of, say, 40 meters. Suddenly, within a few seconds, the light transformed into an elliptic shape, and turned into a sort of glow, shining down on the field. It seemed as if the air was trembling, possibly an indication of heat. Then the light went out slowly. Robbert ran down, into the field, and found a fresh crop circle on the same spot. He noticed how the formation was physically warm.

The next day, it appeared that a small, 1.50 m diameter circle was
adjacent to it.
The formation was visited by the DCCCS on Sunday June 13, and was extensively sampled for
research by BLT.
