|
||
UK.Lines: 62 On July 17 the largest and most extraordinary of all
|
||
pictograms appeared in a wheatfield below Barbury Castle, an Iron age
|
||
hill-fort near Swindon. Nothing had been in
|
||
the field at Barbury Castle at 9 p.m the previous evening when local
|
||
pilot had flown over it .The formationconsists of an enormous
|
||
equilateral triangle (with side of about 180 ft)which encloses a
|
||
doubly-ringed circle. Rings are widely separatedand ea
|
||
ch about 7 ft wide. Each angle of the triangle is bisected by pathways
|
||
leading from the centre of the formation to circular designs, each
|
||
different, beyond each apex. One design is a plain ring (38 ft diam).
|
||
The second is a ring of similar size like
|
||
a flower with six petals. The third is a spiral which opens out in six
|
||
steps, like a ratchet, each time it turns through 90 degrees; this is
|
||
of similar size to the other designs. Obviously Meaden's theory
|
||
that the circles are caused by a naturally
|
||
occurring atmospheric vortex could not possibly survive acceptance of
|
||
this great geometric design as the genuine phenomenon, and the next
|
||
day he made a statement to the media to the effect that he believed it
|
||
a hoax. This was inevitable. However all
|
||
the other researchers are in complete agreement that the pictogram is
|
||
genuine and represents yet another stage in the evolution of this
|
||
bizarre phenomenon. Apart from physical characteristics being the
|
||
same, the dowsing reactions in the pictogram ar
|
||
e very strong and definite. The whole formation seems to be charged
|
||
with an almost tangible energy. A keen circles watcher had been
|
||
cropwatching with two friends at Beckhampton at about midnight when
|
||
they had seen a pulsing light moving silently acr
|
||
oss the sky. During the course of the next hour they saw five more
|
||
such objects, some white and some pulsing green, red and white. All
|
||
were silent though at times they seemed comparatively close to where
|
||
they stood. At one time a dark object flew swi
|
||
ftly and silently overhead, blotting out the stars. The three were
|
||
quite frightened by this strange display, and likened what they'd seen
|
||
to a sequence from "Close Encounters of the Third Kind". Some of
|
||
their sightings were in the direction of Barbu
|
||
ry Castle which is just five miles away, but at the time of telling
|
||
this story were quite unaware of what had been found in the fields.
|
||
Other reports are still being received of anomalous lights in the sky
|
||
in that area on that night. In the morn
|
||
ing two other pictograms were also found within about three miles of
|
||
the magnificent one at Barbury Castle. On the following night it is
|
||
reported that Wroughton, a town about two miles away, was shaken by a
|
||
loud aerial explosion which caused all the
|
||
lights to go out, and cars failed to start. The area rapidly filled
|
||
with army vehicles which appeared to be looking for something, but the
|
||
power soon came back on again and normality was restored. What is
|
||
going on in this part of Wiltshire ??? +
