Reconstruction of the
2007 Westwoods (2) formation

1. Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines.

2. Construct the circumscribed equilateral triangle of circle 1, pointing up.

3. Copy circle 1 to the intersection of the righthand side of triangle 2 and the horizontal centerline.

4. Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 3 at the righthand side.

5. Copy circle 1 two times, to both intersections of circle 4 and the horizontal centerline.

6. Construct a circle centered at the upper intersection of circle 1 and the vertical centerline, tangent to circle 3 at the upper lefthand side.

7. Copy circle 6 two times, to the outer intersections of circles 5 and the horizontal centerline, as shown.

8. Construct a "two-points" circle (defined by the end-points of a centerline), defined by the upper intersection of circle 4, and the lower intersection of circle 6, both with the vertical centerline.

9. Construct a circle concentric to circle 8, tangent to circle 1 at the upper side.

10. Copy circle 9 two times, to the outer intersections of circles 7 and the horizontal centerline, as shown.

11. Circles 4, 5, 7 and 10 are used for the final reconstruction.

12. Remove everything not visible in the formation itself.

13. Colour areas with standing...

14. ...or with flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the 2007 Westwoods (2) formation.

15. The final result, matched with the aerial image.
