A new circle to report, but...
Hello everyone,
The crop circle season is continuing barely unabated. As we reach mid July the weather here in the UK has taken a turn for the worse with cloud wind and rain taking hold for the next couple of days.
As a result of the weather, yesterday Steve took an early morning flight to try and get some moving film of several formations. The last time he flew he was only able to get still imagery before the weather closed in and the sun disappeared.
Returning to the Honey street circle (reported last time) and them moving on towards Silbury Hill, he spotted a new circle at Cannings Cross farm, near All Cannings.
The formation looked like a Butterfly-type design (a butterfly in standing crop, surrounded by a sun (in flattened crop).
Later in the day we heard that the farmer had partially cut the circle out. And, as sad as that was, we were secure in knowing that we had recorded the circle before the damage had been done.
However, it soon became apparent the this was not he case and in fact we had not flown the circle before the farmer had inflicted his damage.
It had not been readily apparent that there was any damage from the air. But after blowing up the imagery we could clearly see where the farmer has literally run rings around it with his machinery.
The original design looks like it might have been a three-dimensional design in the centre - now sadly gone.
All this said, it is slightly strange that even though the farmer had decided to spoil this design for everyone, the formation still appears attractive and even meaningful! That it now resembles a butterfly, symbolic of transformation - seems like a jest on behalf of the cosmic joker, on a farmer who sought to despoil.
