July 10, 2003 – Beckhampton, England – Farmer David Sheppard was dismayed when he found more than the usual ancient line up of burial mounds in his North Down spring barley field on July 6, 2003. Right at the end of four tumuli that have been lined up pointing towards Silbury Hill near Avebury for more than 4,000 years, was another bigger circle made from his own crop. Stuart Dike and Mark Fussell of the Cropcircleconnector.com, with the farmer’s permission, were able to get in on the ground and photograph the remarkable detail of hundreds of small, swirled clumps of standing plants that dot eleven concentric rings that radiate from a downed center.Click for report.

The circle nearest the camera measured about 15 meters.10, or fifty feet in diameter; the largest middle circle measured about 25 meters.70, or eighty-five feet; and the furthest smaller circle measured about 9 meters.90, or about thirty-three feet in diameter.Click for report.

Part 3 – 16th Crop Formation in Italy 2003

July 11, 2003 – Fornacette near Pisa (central west Italy) – Italy’s sixteenth crop formation of 2003 – an unprecedented number – was reported on June 26 in Fornacette near Pisa in central western Italy. It is a dumbbell pattern set down in the middle of a thick wheat field that had no tramlines, as English fields do. The pattern was one large circle and one smaller circle connected by a corridor. This is a pattern that was common in England in the early 1990s and has also been seen several times in Canada and other European countries.

July 8, 2003  Bristol, England – On June 15, 2003, a pilot called Stuart Dike and Mark Fussell of the Cropcircleconnector.com to report a beautiful formation in young wheat laid out in the natural bowl below the Ridgeway at Ogbourne St. George, Wiltshire, England. The site is about five miles north of the larger village of Marlborough, but extremely hard to reach. There are no roads within two or three miles and the only way to reach the formation is to walk at least forty minutes along the Ridgeway track. Stuart told me it is “probably the most remote location I’ve ever walked to myself. You have to climb a hill and go down a hill to get to it, carrying camera gear and poles the whole way.”

Part 1 – Mysterious Lights and Fourteen Crop Formations in Italy

June 27, 2003  Rome, Italy - For the first time on record, a crop formation was discovered within the city limits of Rome. Also, for the first time over a period from April 25 to June 27, thirteen more unexplained patterns in cereal crops beyond the one in Rome have been reported from the north to the south and east to west in the long "boot" of Italy. Whatever is happening, Italy has also had mysterious lights associated with some of its crop formations this year.

To better understand the chronology and location of the Italian crop patterns, this week I talked with Adriano Forgione, Editor, Hera magazine, in Rome. The following is a chronological evolution with Adriano's comments.
