I would describe the crop picture as a solid
circle approx 15m in diameter surrounded by two further concentric
circular shells. There are also two channels that run off at about
75º from one another, one straight, one slightly wavy. The
straight(er) one is about 12m in length. The wavy one is longer,
perhaps 20m. Each of the channels forks at the end, and these
forked channels fork again after 2-3m, running only for a further
2-3m before stopping (almost reminiscent of the Uffington white
horse). The forking seems random and I cannot imagine what the
picture is 'supposed' to be, though first thoughts are of sperms
approaching an egg or of a seed germinating in soil. As said
however, I seek to survey the site more accurately tomorrow and
provide a draft plan view, provided the combines haven't had it.

It's interesting to note that the arc distance
between the two antennae is accurately one sixth the circumference
of the circle. This of course falls in line with the six-fold
symmetry we see in many circles in the south |

The circle is still there, at least 4 days
now, and doesn't seem to have been disturbed. The photo
represents the best view it is possible to have without an
aerial photo, as you can see its frustrating that some of the
detail of the "arms" can't be seen well.
