2009 Crop Circles

[gaman]

This looks to me like something coming through some kind of portal that been opened (or it appears partially opened).

 

[D69]

Well , to me it looks like big KABOOOOOM

The two lines+orbs on either side of the central, large circle (with 'eclipsing'??) smaller circles receding into the background, made me think of the two STEREO satellites which are designed to allow better study of coronal mass ejections (CMEs).

"STEREO provides a unique and revolutionary views of the Sun-Earth system. The satellites trace the flow of energy and matter from the Sun to Earth as well as reveal the 3-D structure of coronal mass ejections and help us understand why they happen. STEREO also provides alerts for Earth-directed solar ejections, from its unique side-viewing perspective adding it to the fleet of Space Weather detection satellites."

Here's what the spacecraft look like: not too close a match: http://stereo.gsfc.nasa.gov/spacecraft.shtml

Still I wondered if it might have been STEREO that allowed for what may have been a prediction of the two(?) peaks in solar activity we saw around the first and second lunar eclipses in July. Just a thought. :) P.S. I love this one -- nice balance of form and textural elements...!

hmm thats kinda interesting what you just wrote because of this : http://www.sott.net/articles/show/190816-Triple-asteroid-system-passes-by-Earth

the footballfield next to it, is a size comparison to the cropcircle, as you can see it's huge!!


Location: the Netherlands-Wilhelminapolder
(south west netherlands)
Date: 7-8-2009
Biggest cropcircle ever NW of the town of Goes.

trying to get some more info about this.

EDIT:

Noot Redactie: We hebben zojuist contact opgenomen met Peter Vanlaerhoven van DCCA om deze formatie te melden. Peter was inmiddels op de hoogte en heeft de redactie van BNN al getracht aan de lijn te krijgen voor meer informatie, maar deze was helaas reeds gesloten. Hij zal verder opzoek gaan of deze formatie niet wederom een reclamestunt is, zoals vorig jaar het geval was.

Translated to english

Note: We have just contacted Peter Vanlaerhove of the DCCA to report him this formation, Peter has been informed about it and he has tried contacting the office of BNN for more information, but sadly it was recently closed. He will go and research if this cropcircle is not another commercial stunt like last year.

Interesting.
The image seems to display the transformation/metamorphosis of a man (mankind?) with a butterfly metaphor.
The center of the formation resembles a famous Vitruvian Man of Leonardo da Vinci...

The crop circle looks kind of strange... could be fake.

The huge butterfly one looks photoshopped... The lines in the field stay perfectly straight when they pass through the circle formations. In other formations the lines get skewed as they pass through circles.

Like this:

It could also be there there is not a color difference in the stalk this time of year that there is earlier in the season, to notice the offset - however, it still could be photoshopped. I'm not finding it carried yet on the other crop circle sites, so, Bo, how did you come across it?

 

[anart]

I noticed that we've missed a few of the circles in August, so here they are (from ccc, hosted on independent site so they won't disappear from the forum when ccc restricts 2009 files). Though, neither of them are particularly inspiring, and the inner line throughout the first one seems to indicate human construction - they're here for the record, anyway.

This second circle looks like its been tampered with....if you look inside the big circle, it appears the details have been trampled out? Anyone else see this?

This one reminds me of a spoofy cartoon called The Tick: specifically Arthur, the accountant side kick who wore a moth costume. Looks like sarcasm has arrived to the crop circle phenomena....and I think its a hoax.

Hi Anart, it's from a dutch site called niburu.nl


and there is an update, the cropcircle is not photoshopped but is infact a tribute to the 200 year anniversary of the Wilhelminapolder, appearantly it is made within 2 days with the help from some gps system, the cropcircle was made with a team of 55 people.

sourcE: _http://www.niburu.nl/index.php?articleID=21459
it has now also arrived at a dutch newspaper, _http://www.pzc.nl/regio/zeeland/5357739/Door-ons-gedaen.ece

so it's man made.

Hmmm... can't read Dutch. And everything i find on "Wilhelminapolder" seems to be in dutch as well, except for being mentioned on the wiki page for Wolphaartsdijk: "In 1809 the Wilhelminapolder was created, joining Wolphaartsdijk with Zuid-Beveland"

That's all it says though. Is it some sort of man made land bridge? Also, any idea on why this particular image was used and why in this format (crop circle)? It seems like a terrible waste of an awful lot of crops.

it's mentioned in the article, I will translate it to english the best I can,

We have just been called by Peter Vanlaerhove, who with his college Sjaak Damen of the DCCA, have been checking this out in Goes, they have seen the formation with their own eyes, and so far it means that it is not photoshopped as some had suggested it was. Peter and Sjaak had a talk with the owner of the cropcircle and he told them what's going on.

It appears to be about a project from a designer office, who with the assistince of GPS have made this cropcircle within 2 days, specially for the 200 year tribute of the existence of the wilhelminapolder. To honour it , there will be some events , and demonstrations will be given.

There are even ''witch circles'' and even a labyrint, this cropcircle is also a part of it and is considered as a big suprise. On the website kmwp.nl the following is writting:

With the long awaited landart-project we end our holidayyear. In october this special made art will be watchable in our beautiful Zeeuwse landscape.

On the site ''Maximaal.nl'' it is said that BNN is involved with this stunt, but they do not want to comment on what the meaning of it is, the farmer also denies that BNN plays a role in this.

Why the creators have chosen for this particular image is still unclear, but their inspiration fits perfectly in the time of these events.

Peter and Sjaak, will continue to research the differences between real and fake cropcirles.

there is also an UPDATE 2: , I will post the translation of that in a sec.

EDIT:

UPDATE 2:

According to Peter Vanlaerhove the butterfly, which is 530 by 450 meters made by Remco Delfgauw, who with a team of 55 people have made the formation in one night, prior to this there had been preparation for it, which took 1,5 days.

also the dailynews PZC from ''Zeeland'' had released a comment about this:

''Made by us''

Blue area - Yes, it exist. And no, it's not authentic. The cropcircle which is shaped like a butterfly near Goes is in the night of thursday on friday made by a designer, called Remco Delfgauw.

He has been giving permission for this by the Royal community of whilhelminapolder.

On the internet there has been a lot of turmoil about this cropcircle, after a message from the Coen&Sander show of BNN on radio 3, The media ''appearantly does not want this important event to go public''

But also cropcircle expert Sjaak damen of the Circle Corp Archive in Steenbergen, has also confirmed that it is a fake cropcircle.

Monday on the PZC: ''Most cropcircles are authentic.''

Well, what I'm sometimes wondering is, the more we would study these circles (to become small experts in this particular subject, growing knowledge), if it would be possible to say in an blink of an eye if it's a hoax or not.
I came through this idea while reading Malcom Gladwells book "Blink, The power of thinking without thinking", where the subject is about thin slicing.
Here is a small review of the book:
http://www.cassiopaea.org/forum/index.php?topic=4718.msg86774#msg86774

Anyway, I just find it an interesting idea and occassionally it is working.
