Remarkable Geometries in July 2016 Crop Formations
© 2016 by Linda Moulton Howe
“These puzzling circles — large sweeping areas nearly flattened
in a swirling pattern — do not exhibit the kind of rough damage caused
by harsh weather, animals or humans.”
- Time Magazine, September 18, 1989,
“Who, or what, is creating those mysterious crop-field rings?”
July 27, 2016 Bavaria, Germany, and Wiltshire, England - Mysterious circular patterns in cereal crops have been reported in England since at least the 1930s to 1940s. No one knew what caused them then and no one today really knows the source either. But U. K. and U. S. government counterintelligence operations have tried since the early 1990s to convince the public and media that two elderly, now deceased, gentlemen from Somerset County, England, known as “Doug and Dave,” were responsible. That phony explanation did not even try to account for the worldwide phenomenon in which intricate formations have been reported in both hemispheres, including wet rice paddies in Japan and tall grasses in the Glass Mountains of Australia. See "Light Anomalies in Photos of Conondale, Australia Grass Circles."
By the late 1980s, simple circles, concentric rings, quincunxes and “Celtic crosses” of four circles linked by one large, thin ring were photographed and discussed in the international media. The September 18, 1989, issue of Time magazine showed large formations in southern England and asked, “Who — or what — is creating those mysterious crop-field rings?”

September 18, 1989, Time magazine.


In the summer of 1991, the odd, unexplained patterns were huge and all over the world. The term “crop circles” was not comprehensive enough and other labels emerged such as pictograms and agriglyphs. That summer, I was creator and supervising producer of an hour special for Paramount Studios and the Fox Network in Los Angeles about unusual phenomena, including the worldwide crop formations.
Investigators such as biophysicist W. C. Levengood were studying soils, plant cell changes, electromagnetic anomalies, strange sounds and lights all associated with the sudden appearance of enigmatic patterns in oilseed rape, barley, wheat, oats, the rice paddies, grasses and other plants in more than twenty countries. From 1994 to 2010, I helped him sample plants and soils from many different crop formations including Wiltshire, England, in August 2000.

Biophysicist Levengood concluded that the physical evidence in the plants and soils of crop formations were caused by spinning plasma vortices with microwave frequencies that could compartmentalize energy interactions that created intricate clockwise and counterclockwise motions in the crops. But what was the source of the low energy plasmas that could produce a variety of impacts on soil and plants and leave images of mysterious lights and spheres on videotapes and photographs? Are the mysterious lights seen in affected fields an unidentified natural phenomenon? Or supervised by an advanced intelligence, which humans have yet to encounter? Could the lights be connected to the same ancient intelligence that inspired other marks around the world in ziggurats, pyramids, mounds and stone circles? If so, what is the significance of the modern phase of global crop formations since the late 1980s?
According to the Cropcircleconnector.com website, since May 6, 2016, to July 27, 2016, there have been 35 crop formations. 19 have been reported in July. Four of those have remarkable geometries, ranging from southern Germany to Wiltshire, England.
July 23, 2016 - Mammendorf Bavaria, Germany

July 23, 2016 - Ranscomb Bottom
Near Calstone Wellington, Wiltshire, England
The same day that the German formation was reported, further west in the United Kingdom, a large and complex pattern in wheat was reported at Ranscomb Bottom near Calstone Wellington a little south of Cherhill in Wiltshire, England (far left red circle in map below).

Stonehenge (bottom red circle) is an ancient and mysterious site of huge sarsen sandstone
rectangular pillars erected some 4,000 to 5,000 years ago in rings in country 2 miles (3 km)
west of Andover (lower right purple circle). On July 8, 2016, a 7-pointed star pattern surrounded
by two rings of 155 raised squares was reported. Then a week later on July 16, 2016, straight
north 27 miles to Hackpen Hill near Broad Hinton, Wiltshire, England, an intricate 3-fold
geometry was reported in wheat (top red circle). Then one week after that on July 23, 2016,
an intricate, multiple star pattern was reported at Ranscomb Bottom south of Cherhill near
Calstone Wellington, Wiltshire, England, about 23 miles from Broad Hinton (top red circle).

The central 5-pointed “star” is enclosed in a pentagon. The pentagon outline forms the
center of a larger 5-pointed star that is enclosed in ten dark sections. The outer border of the
whole pattern is defined by five straight sides that are separated by five indents. Each indent
contains a small flattened circle. This image and two below © 2016 by Cropcircleconnector.com.


Ancient geometries researcher, Marc Smulders, hypothesizes that the 5 and 10 geometry star at Calstone Wellington, Wiltshire, is linked to the start of the Gregorian Calendar and upcoming annular eclipses.
Marc Smulders: “This is more than just a beautiful design. It has 40 triangles and 36 flattened segments. The 40 triangles, I think, refer to the upcoming annular eclipse on September 1, 2016, 40 days after the formation. See Sky & Telescope in Websites below.
The 40 triangles also relate to 4400 days, which correspond with exactly 149 lunar months. The Maya also mention this relationship. The 36 segments relate to 36 × 4400 days = 22 Katun (a Katun = 20 Tun = 20 × 360 days) or 3 × 33 × 40 × 40 days and 36 × 149 lunar months. These numbers (3 and 33) explain the triangular form of the segments. The reason for this reference is clear when we count back 36 × 149 lunar months (or 22 Katun) from the upcoming annular eclipse on September 1, because this turns out to refer to another annular eclipse, namely the annular eclipse on Christmas 1582! This was the first eclipse and the first Christmas day (December 25) after the introduction of the Gregorian calendar on October 15, 1582.
One of the five small flattened circles in the outer indents is precisely orientated towards sunset and moonset on September 1, 2016, that could symbolize an end.
The relationship with the start of the Gregorian calendar 22 Katun ago relates to the supposed end of it, two days after the annular eclipse of February 26, 2017, and 220 days after the July 23, 2016, day of the formation.”
July 16, 2016 - Hackpen Hill
Near Broad Hinton, Wiltshire, England
One week earlier on July 16, 2016, an eerie and intricate pattern was found at Hackpen Hill about 2 miles southeast of Broad Hinton, Wiltshire. Hackpen Hill has been the site of many crop formations since the early 1990s.

Albert Cambata wrote in Cropcircleconnector.com about the Hackpen Hill pattern:
“Could the new crop circle at Hackpen Hill reported on the 16th of July be representing information from the 3 pyramids on the Giza plateau and the 3 stars of Orion’s Belt? Let’s have a look. The crop circle is clearly encoding with the number 3. Three tetrahedrons or pyramids, joined at their apexes and the 3 “energy waves” emanating from the apexes in arrow-like formation pointing in the direction of 3 orbs equally spaced on the outer circumference of the circle.
Many of us have heard of the theory, originally put forth by Robert Bauval in 1983, that the 3 Giza pyramids are an earthly representation of the 3 stars of Orion’s Belt, Alnitak, Alnilam and Mintaka. In later years, archaeologists have discovered shafts within the Great Pyramid that point towards the stars in Orion’s Belt. Was some force meant to emanate from the great pyramid directed at the stars in Orion’s Belt? We don’t know, but we do believe that the ancient Egyptians associated the Orion Constellation with Osiris, the god of rebirth and the afterlife. There has been speculation that one of the extraterrestrial races visiting the Earth may come from one of the planets associated with one of the stars in Orion’s Belt.
The tramline that runs through the crop circle intersects perfectly with one of the orbs on the outer circumference of the circle, but yet is slightly offset from the center of the circle where the 3 pyramid apexes intersect. Could this variation be meant to represent the arc-degree offset of the 3rd star and the 3rd pyramid? Perhaps someone can make the calculation?”
July 8, 2016 - Stonehenge Near Andover, Wiltshire
Stonehenge is an ancient and mysterious site of huge sarsen sandstone
pillars in a double ring pattern that are dated back some 4,000 to 5,000 years ago. Astronomer Gerald Hawkins called it a computer in stone that could calculate accurate solar and lunar eclipses over long time spans. It is 2 miles (3 km) west of Andover, Wiltshire.
Across the road from Stonehenge on July 8, 2016, a 7-pointed star pattern overlaying a crescent moon and surrounded by two rings of 155 small rectangles of standing wheat were reported.

Formation of 7-pointed "star" overlaid upon a crescent "moon" reported July 8, 2016, in wheat
near Stonehenge has estimated diameter of 155 feet. Inside the star are seven diamond-shaped
figures and surrounding the star pattern are 82 squares in the outer ring; 73 squares on
the inner ring for a total of 155 squares like the estimated diameter of the whole pattern.

Stonehenge 7-Star Geometry Comments
© 2016 by Horace Drew, Ph.D.,
Geneticist, Sydney, Australia
Australian geneticist Horace Drew, Ph.D. — also known as “Red Collie” — has been analyzing mathematical and astronomical relationships in crop formations for several years. He earned his Ph.D. in Chemistry from the California Institute of Technology in 1981. Dr. Drew is a co-author of Understanding DNA: The Molecule and How It Works, 3rd Edition © 2004. During his Ph.D. work, he did several of the first high-resolution x-ray structures of DNA. Dr. Drew then spent five years between 1982-1987 doing post-doctoral research on DNA and chromosomes at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, England. He moved to Sydney, Australia in 1987, and has lived there ever since.
He studied the July 8, 2016, Stonehenge 7-star pattern with crescent and found a similar pattern on a denarius coin from the time of the Roman Emperor Hadrian in 117-138 A.D.

A Roman coin used during the reign of Emperor Hadrian 117-138 A.D.
That emperor once built a wall across northern England. They called him the “Good Emperor.” There are 73 and 82 “small squares of standing crop” in the two outer borders of this crop formation, which add to 155 in total. Dr. Drew laid out his analysis in the four graphics below.

Marc Smulders also speculated about this Stonehenge pattern wondering if the new formation so close to nearly 5000-year-old Stonehenge might relate to:
1) The beginning of the Hebrew epoch in which the Hebrew calendar (Anno Mundi 1 or AM 1) started September 7, -3760 (proleptic Gregorian calendar; historical 3761 BC).
2) The completion of the erection of the World Tree of the Mayan Great Cycle on August 11, -3113 (proleptic Gregorian calendar; historical 3114 BC).
Research points out that the formation relates to the beginning of the Hebrew epoch, albeit not the very starting date, while there is an indirect relationship with the start of the Great Cycle.
The crescent moon of the 7-pointed-star formation also points to a calendar that is based on the lunar month, like the Hebrew calendar. There are a few remarkable facts that relate the number 7 of the 7-pointed star in the formation to the Hebrew calendar, most notably:
— At present, we live in the Hebrew year AM 5776 and the year that starts on October 3, 2016 is AM 5777.
— Over a time span of about 5774 years, Saturn revolves 4 × 7 × 7 times around the sun.”
