INTERNATIONAL CROP CIRCLES OF 1999 |
|
Project Fe-Male, Netherlands. Created 23/24th July.
Updated Thursday 9th September 1999
In the night of July 23/24, we performed this project. The title
refers to the symbol and to the participants of the project. The team was built up around
6 women and 9 men. This total of 15 people made the crop circle in one night. The symbol is
built up out of 93 circles which are connected by a ring with a diameter of 171 metres
(approx. 570 feet). The complete figure stretches for more than 650 feet. As one can see, we
have tried to create a 3-D illusion.
The tools we use, make it possible to leave the crop as much as possible in tact. It takes
a lot of preparation and dedication to perform a symbol like this. But, as we prove, it
can be done.
We do not have the intention to ridicule the phenomenon, although it
is our personal opinion that a motivated team with the proper tools can make any symbol
they put their focus on. Our intention is to use this project as a teambuilding-project.
We have experienced in the past years, and now again, that the making of a highly advanced
cropcircle is in itself one of the most rewarding and team spirit lifting projects we can
imagine. We have financed the project ourselves. The participants were all connected
to Bever
Innovations. (Bever Innovations is a small but dedicated technical design &
consultancy agency.)
In our opinion the project was a success, The result in the field is almost perfect and the
team spirit has definitely received a strong impulse.
