A Formation near Wexcombe (Barley) Reported 8.6.00
We have just had the pleasure of visiting our latest and in some ways the most pleasing formation of the season thus far.
Most pleasing because this is one of the very few that we have seen this year in
such fresh and crisp condition largely due to the far out location of the formation.
What we have here is 10 circles arranged in a triple armed design of diminishing
sized circles, each arm of the design measures 94' in length with the individual circle
widths as follows:
| Outer circle 44.5' diameter |
2nd circle 24.5' diameter |
| 3rd circle 14.5' diameter |
Innermost circle 10' diameter |
Some distance (approx 100ft) from the main formation there are an additional three
circles (two with eyebrows) that appear to be some sort of signature for this work of
art. The build and lay of this crop circle are of a very impressive and high standard
throughout. The floor of the circles are in appearance, rather like frozen water with
various size waves lapping over each other. The whole of the formation generally has a very fluid look to it.
During our visit to this formation the wind was gusting and blowing all over the
place, making the barley an amazing & impressive sight, rather like watching waves
rolling on the ocean. This coupled with the sun & a farmer who was interested
enough to question what was on his land without just writing it off as joke or vandalism made for a very pleasant afternoon indeed.
On the whole a simply pleasing formation.
