| 2012 Crop Circle report |
| RETURN TO 2012 CROP CIRCLES |
| DONATION BUTTON |
I checked a camera on the roof of Chilbolton Observatory,
Hampshire, in the adjacent county and found that the sky facing
camera had water droplets on it at 5.0 AM (below) on the morning of
the 28th April, the morning this crop circle was formed. Using filters
and increasing lighting levels on the night time frames captured back
to mid-night, they appear to show water droplets for each hour.

| This crop circle design appeared in large Canola plants (also known as Rape in UK) with delicate yellow flowers. It was first discovered at 8.0 am on the 28th April, close to the A303 highway, opposite Yarnbury Castle, an Iron Age Hill fort near Stonehenge, England. Copyright: Matthew Williams |

Paul's email to Mark Fussell at the Connector:
I now see you have been able to obtain aerial
shots and I have to say...... This is the best
formation in rape I have seen for years. I think
there are a couple of things to consider when
reviewing this formation.... And they are the fact
that from what we know of the weather the last few
days, it would have been tipping with rain when
this formation was created. I know there are some
die hard circle makers out there.....BUT, would
they really have ventured out to make it in such
weather? Hopefully a field report will show (or not
hopefully) evidence of human feet trampling down
and picking up tonnes of mud and depositing it
onto the stems and flowers. The photo's so far
show none of this. The symmetry and apparent
(from the photo's) pattern of the floor lay shows a
very well positioned and constructed formation
with radial floor lay integrated into the pattern.
From what I know of crop circle creation, this is not
easy to imitate by foot. And the whole thing looks
like it has gone down in one go?? I hope we see
more of this throughout the year.

| I was one of the first persons into it at 10am... It was pissing with rain and i entered via the longer lower half of the field. I saw no signs of people entering and this may have been due to their entry from the upper part of the field. Plants didn't appear to be damaged and there was no mud visible as far as I could tell but it could have dropped off with the rain.…….. Who ever wanted to make such a circle must be a mad bastard on a mission because the weather was so foul that I got soaked to the skin in 4 seconds of walking up the tram line. Unless they had fully waterproof gear and wellies it would have been a hellish task to create this circle. However I do know a couple of people who would make a circle under such horrid conditions and probably without waterproofs.... Such is certain peoples mania to create circles - especially when they have driven a long way to do it. |

| It can not be said for sure how this crop circle arrived in these conditions without obvious signs of muddy boots and damaged plants. Until more information comes to light, it is left there. Colin Andrews |
