Two stunning formations @ Silbury Hill, Wiltshire. Reported
11/6/00 (barley)
Once again Silbury Hill has been the venue for crop circle activity
of the highest quality. This time we get two formations in the same field on the same night. Both of these works are situated in
a field of barley that runs parallel with the busy A4 between the Wagon & Horses pub and Silbury Hill.
The farmer has reported to us that he took a drive past the field this morning
at (approx) 3-30am, he says there was nothing to be seen in the field at the time that he considered odd or suspicious
in any way.
The first formation (looking from Silbury Hill) is an eight pointed star created almost integrally out of downed crop which is
surrounded by four concentric rings that give the formation a very orbital look. The outer ring gives us an overall diameter of 230ft.
The interior of the rather impressive star has a number of small standing tufts with sunburst style sprays of
barley radiating out from the base.
The downed areas of this formation have a very fluid and rather pleasing look of quality that we were both very impressed with.
Taken as a whole this is a work to savour & behold, for me this is without a doubt the yin formation from the pair.
The second of the two formations is of a similar build quality to it's bigger sister down the field some distance away. Quite
similar but I think this one has a slight edge when it comes to cookie cutter crispiness. This glyph is sheer perfection with a
very stylish and classy geometric finish.
A very impressive sight.
This formation has an overall diameter of (approx) 150ft with a triangle as a major central component of this work. The standing triangle
has a large circle within it that reaches to the very edges of the shape housing it. All of this is placed within a hexagon of downed
crop that is itself enclosed in a perimeter ring that encompasses the whole formation.
(see diameter for details)
Once again I am truly impressed with the capabilities & cleverness of the real circle makers.
