Stanton St Bernard, Near Alton Barnes. Wiltshire.

Reported 08 - 08- 10

This pattern measures approximately 150 feet diameter. On the ground all the laid plants are bent or broken at various heights above the ground. All the laid crop areas are very flat to the ground, as if substantival pressure from above had been applied in a uniform manner. Around all the peripheral areas examined heavy regular and repetitive crushing to the plants was well evident, and taking the condition of the whole pattern into consideration one can only conclude that the arrival this event was the result of a mechanical delivery system.

Further, All the laid wheat plants had their seed heads curled and rigid, as is the same in the standing crop across the rest of the field, in stark and obvious contrast to the Whitefield Hill formation from some days earlier.

Extremely attractive from the air however.
