A formation @ Pewsey (White Horse) nr Pewsey,
Wiltshire. Reported 7/8/00 (Wheat)

Situated within the stunning landscape, directly below the
white horse hill figure at Pewsey in Wiltshire is a crop circle
that appears to be directly related to the formation that arrived
at Horton on the previous night. This latest splendid offering
has taken the same theme as the aforementioned and added a
good deal more in terms of sophistication and complexity.

What we have here, apart from a very distressed farmer, is an
inner circle of downed wheat (approx) 60--70ft diameter, within which stands three beautifully crafted pentagrams and a long slender crescent. These features stand on the inner edges of this central circle leaving the center expanse of downed crop
clear enough to show off an exquisite and fluid lay pattern that
left me in no doubt as to the significance of this event.

Surrounding the central area of the formation is a very narrow
orbital ring that gives the formation as a whole a diameter of
(approx) 180ft. This ring itself, I would guess is no more than
4--5 inches wide and proved rather difficult to walk in without
causing major structural damage to the feature. As with the
Horton formation, this one has a satellite circle positioned
on it's orbital ring that contains qualities of an extremely high
order. The circle itself which is (approx) 20ft wide has within
it's area of downed crop the most beautiful ring of standing
wheat which is set off center within the circle. This fine and
delicate ring which has one central standing stem and
standing walls of no more than a few stems wide is a cute four
feet in diameter and for me was the highlight of the formation.
All the crop within this section of the formation had been put
down in a very purposeful manner leaving not a stalk out of
place. Within the little ring the wheat was all swept from the
outer edges to the center in a style that left a lasting
impression on me. Also worthy of a mention is the way the
inner edges of the main circles had been dealt with by the
circle makers. All the edges I examined were, what appeared
to be pleated or woven as if a tubular whirlwind had wiped
around the edges of the circles. The rest of the lay pattern in
the formation was in no way less impressive, in fact some of it
was so finely laid down words are not a sufficient medium to
convey the experience.

Overall this is, yet again, a formation displaying quality and
originality that leaves me in total awe of the real circle makers
and the lengths they will go to in order to get our attention.
What a pleasure it is to visit these works of fine art when they
are still fresh.
