July 17, 2003  Howell, New Jersey ­ After the Ogbourne St. George formation was discovered in Wiltshire, England, on Sunday, June 15, photographer and researcher Lucy Pringle wondered if it could be an 8-fold geometry instead of 6-fold? The reason is the “butterfly wing” distribution of the six arms, rather than an equally spaced distribution of the arms or spokes around the central circle. I was curious and asked professional land surveyor, Vincent Creevy, of Howell, New Jersey, to look at Lucy’s aerial photographs.Click for report.

First 3-D Images of the Sun’s Granular Surface

Black tick marks at the perimeter of this solar image are 1000 kilometers (622 miles) apart. Each granule, or cell, on the sun's surface is about the size of Texas. This image near the eastern limb of the sun was first taken on July 24, 2002, by Prof. Goran Scharmer and processed by Dr. Mats G. Lofdahl, Institute for Solar Physics, Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.

Unusual Details in Dutch Crop Formations

 

Wilhelminaoord, Drenthe, Holland, was the site of two unusual wheat crop formations discovered by the farmer the morning of July 13, 2003. To the east is Stadskanaal which had formations in 2002 and 2001 that changed over time.

July 16, 2003  Wilhelminaoord, Drenthe, Holland – Yesterday Dutch crop circle researcher, Robert Boerman, who produces the website, www.dcca.nl, received a phone call about two crop circles in the same wheat field near Wilhelminaoord, Drenthe, Holland. The farmer is 60 years old and told Robert he had been working his fields for about forty years. He said he had never seen such patterns in his crops before and he was very happy that circles had finally come in his field. “That’s a different reaction than we are used to receiving from farmers!” Robert told me. Usually farmers are frustrated and angry.Click for report.

Part 1 – Unusual Crop Formation Lines Up with English Burial Mounds

The nearly 300-foot-diameter crop formation of eleven concentric rings lined up with four ancient tumuli (burial mounds) was reported on July 6, 2003. The red line drawn on the map below along North Down tumuli ends up at Silbury Hill. Aerial photograph © 2003 by Lucy Pringle.

Several tumuli (mounds) along an old Roman Road in the North Down of Wiltshire, England are aligned with Silbury Hill to the east near Avebury, sacred sites dating back at least 4,500 or more years.

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.

July 11, 2003  Oss, Noord Brabant, Holland and see Update below – Today Robert Boerman of the Dutch Crop Circle Archive e-mailed me about the fifth reported Dutch formation of 2003 in Oss that he investigated yesterday west of Groesbeek. 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.

Mysterious Lights Videotaped Emerging from Ogbourne St. George, England Crop Formation

Mysterious lights were videotaped emerging from the thirty-seven circles discovered in young wheat below the Ridgeway at Ogbourne St. George, Wiltshire, England, on Sunday, June 15, in a pattern nearly 600 feet in diameter. Aerial photograph © 2003 by Lucy Pringle.

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.”
