Crop Circle Season Begins

On June 1, a 300-foot crop circle was found near Barbury Castle, a hotbed for crop circle activity. Though initially appearing somewhat more humble than circles which have come before, analysis of the "ratchet" design has left many experts breathless with the complexity hidden within its angles.

Crop circle followers who find this new pattern vaguely familiar may recall the stunning 1991 triangle pictogram formed in the same location. The pictogram depicted the same ratchet extending from one corner of the triangle.

Mathematicians studying the new formation have made the startling discovery that pi to the tenth decimal point is encoded within the ratchet (3.14159265358), although there is some debate over whether this is "all" the ratchet has to say on pi-related matters. The number 666 also seems to be relevant to this formation.

Other experts also locate a solar system map within the ratchet, possibly pointing toward August 9, 2014.

Reports from the ground indicate that the lay of the formation is quite clean and bears no boot or plank marks. Throughout the formation, barley was observed bent close to the ground but not broken, and the famous "bent node" phenomenon was also observed.

it would have been 17 decimal places...

if it hadn't been for those darn grasshoppers. Regardless of their origin, and frankly I myself don't give a rats ass where they come from, cropcircles are cool!

Three Circles

I wonder what the three circles near the end of the "ratchet tail" could symbolize . . . any thoughts?

Ellipsis.

I was thinking about these three circle too. The best I could come up with was 3.141592653. . .

Hi Kal,

Can you provide links to explanations of the solar map and 666 connection? I read the Earthfiles report, but didn't see this discussed there.

Hi there, The link

Hi there,

The link included in the article to Crop Circle Connector's coverage has some pretty good analysis of these issues.

Barbury: http://www.cropcircleconnector.com/2008/barbury/barbury2008a.html 2 other crop circles with similarly impressive mathematical knowledge relating to eclipses have appeared in the last two weeks:

This is interesting in regard to the recent piece on the election suggesting that the August eclipse might have significance. One more:

Quite amazing how persistent the circlemakers are in projecting this message about eclipses.

Public pathway

Submitted by John Topp on Thu, 06/26/2008 - 09:32.
In the Barbury circle, I find the overlapping and perfect alignment with a public pathway interesting and not accidental, as if anything about these things could be accidental. Potentially there is a suggestion of mysterious, complex information becoming comprehensible and accessible by the public.

Crop Circle in S. Korea

Submitted by doan on Thu, 06/26/2008 - 13:46.
Apparently, the first crop circle appeared in South Korea earlier this month. It was a rather large one, somewhere between 450-600 feet in diameter. It is quite beautiful: http://www.cropcircleconnector.com/inter2008/southkorea/southkorea2008.h...

Evidence over beliefs

Submitted by John Topp on Fri, 06/27/2008 - 09:58.

I'd say first let's not fall prey to reducing the options to the usual "humans or aliens". Maybe it's neither, and maybe "aliens" aren't even from other planets.

 

As far as it being done by humans with boards: The 2002 Windmill Hill structure was 900 feet in diameter and consisted of 409 circles. It was calculated, when taking as points of reference the latest time the hill was seen before the formation appeared, and the time the formation was first seen, that a circle must have been formed every 7 seconds. This is assuming this entire deduced interval of time was used to make the formation.

 

This only accounts for the number of circles, without even looking at the absolutely perfect complexity of it.

 

Guys with boards? Skepticism and gullibility can run in either direction.

Orions Belt

Wow, those things are pretty impressive. Thanks for the links Daniel. I'm amused thinking that this supernatural, creative-intelligance simply throws down coded mandalas free of any malevolent intent and then sits back and watches as earthlings react.

. . .

Its funny, kinda like music and all art, that everyone will decode the message in a different way, through their own process and often come up with the same message or lean towards a popular or pure version. I wander if our circle-makers have ways of tracking our theories, charts, conferences, no-doubt they have ways. . .

. . .

In any case, in response to Keiths question about the 3 circles, i was wondering too and, according to Daniels link, one of the phtotshopped versions of the 'ratchet' points to the 3 as the belt of Orion and kindof maps the whole thing out as a star chart.

. . .

Thought that was cool, but of course wherever theres 3 you can only quess its pointing to all kinds of possibilities surrounding the nature of 3, the Divine number or numbers.

. . .

Also, I'm going to have to majorly plug this movie, it just came out on DVD...Rolland Emmerich does it again, only this time he really does it. This moive is not only beautifully shot and composed but the message supports many non-contemporary beliefs about our History.

A Must see.

Possibilities

Submitted by Sean B on Wed, 07/02/2008 - 21:04.
If anyone knows for certain about crop circles, they're not stepping up to explain it. It's possible that there is no explanation at this time. Can't we just be okay with that? Can't we let the explanation arrive when it's ready to be received? I remember hearing all kinds of rumours about calculus classes when I neared grade 12 in high school, but until I arrived at that time, there was no way to explain it to me. And besides, does it matter who is making them? These things are incredible. What if it is drunken bumpkins? What if it is military spooks zapping them onto the fields with a satellite? Maybe they're being used by a higher intelligence. Either way, the circles are getting made and their existence is infecting the human mind and imagination with possibilities. This cannot be a bad thing.

For a rare insight into the mysterious nature of the Crop Circle phenomena...here is a series of interviews with known circle-makers. As you will see, they are just as baffled as anyone else. The line between "hoax" and "genuine" is blurred.

Many circlemakers are interviewed. Watch for commonalities in their testimonies.
