8.4.24 Thought we'd check out Hackpen Hill down in Wiltshire over the weekend to see how the crops were doing. This is a common location for crop circles. As you can see the season looks a bit slow down there. The canola (yellow rape seed) is overall not yet in full bloom so a little while to wait it would seem before the first potential crop circle there. East of England looks more advanced though.
7.6.24 First confirmed crop circle of the season in France in Alsace, June 5, near Wolfisheim. This formation is very large, it must be about 90m long by at least 55m wide. Photos by AstralDrones with thanks.
12/6/24 First documented CC in UK at Winton Windmill, Wiltshire. Photo of circle 'Crop Circles from the Air' with thanks.
Below: Wholesale double stem node bending over all areas of CC.
Below: Fine example of 'Energy Leak' EL.present along the tramlines next to lowered crop.
Below: Fine line circle surrounding main central circle only 100-200mm wide.
Multi directional stem lowering due to double node bending.
I found this standing tuft with a tie at its top today in the Wilton Windmill CC. There is no other similar anywhere in this formation. It could possibly be someone responsible as it is quite simplistic but I thought I'd note it anyway. It may be genuine after all.
