This popular circle location has once again been the target for
a sizable geometric crop circle that has a rather familiar flavour to it.
The formation consists of two hexagons of standing crop that fit together to make a twelve pointed star. The points of the
star are detached from the main body by slender incisions, these pathways make up the sides of the double hexagon.
Sitting inside the central shape there is a large equilateral triangle extending to the edges of the central area of standing
crop. The paths that make up the triangle are (approx) four feet in width. The whole formation sits in a circle
(approx) 200ft in diameter with the points of the star stopping 2ft short of the formation perimeter. On the whole the
mathematics of the
formation look good.
As we stepped into the glyph we were struck by the sheer incoherent mess of the floor, it's all over the place, in my
years of crop circle research I have never seen such a mess on the floor of a crop formation. Even the work of the usual
jokers ( Team err umm) looks professional in comparison. No known hoaxing methodology that I am aware of could create
what we see in this formation. with this in mind I feel another explanation is needed.
My impression is that this is a genuine event that has been trashed & wrecked on purpose to give the hoax impression,
for most people the messy floor would be enough to conclude that this one is indeed an obvious hoax, what I have seen of
this formation suggests to me that it is the real deal, in part because such a huge mess could not be created by the usual
method of corn stomping used by known jokers. This formation looks much more like it has been kicked to death by
a herd of cows or even worse, an all night party!
The treatment this formation has received seems, I feel , a little sinister.
From the air I think this glyph will be rather attractive, a good deal more so than from the ground at least.
Additions & remodeling of West Kennet Long Barrow formation. Reported 3/6/00
What was a trashed & defaced formation, last night received a full body makeover by the crop circle
makers. The bulk of the crop that made up the twelve pointer has now been put down, leaving a far
more complex and interesting pattern than was there the previous day. This time the crop lay is as expected
with a quality formation, even the barley that had been smashed and kicked about yesterday has been
combed to a quite tidy finish in keeping with the new parts of the formation. It was rather a surprise to see
such a pleasing formation develop out of such a defaced and vandalized mess.
The main changes have taken place inside the large equilateral triangle, this whole section has
been divided up into nine smaller equilateral triangles (three standing & six down) which creates a
very nice & balanced central section to the formation.
These new features have added hugely to the overall quality of this glyph, turning a hell of a mess into a
geometrically coherent whole. Like it..
