Description and Information: See Below
Another arrival in the same barley field as (2) between 10th and 13th June. This was only
a few yards to the east of its companion, and was of a similar size. the design was two
raised facing crescents resembling the Ashbury formation of 1996, but much thinner
crescents, similar to the Moon after 4 days waxing. Maximum diameter was 105ft and the
crescents were 11ft at the widest point, narrowing down to a single stem. there was 7ft
between opposing points, and the surrounding paths varied from 6-12ft. the inner sections
were 68ft across from centres of crescents and 78ft in the other direction. the flows were
clockwise nd looked farily
radial except at the centre. the crop was still very green and jumping back up. Some
interesting grapeshots were also seen about 100ft from the formation

CIRCLES OF 1999
A formation in Barley at Toot Balden in the same field as the other Barley formation (Ring with key) consisting of a circle made out of 2 crescents (I have not yet seen that formation so the details may not be accurate). I believe it is about 100 feet across

Another one at Toot Baldon in the same field as before in Barley. This formation is described as being approx. 100 ft diameter and consists of interlinked circles in a similar layout to the Vesica formations seen in 1997. Formed between 10-13th June
