Wiltshire has most crop circles in England

New data has shown Wiltshire is the county with the most crop circles in England.

There has been 380 crop circles recorded in the county since 2005, according to a study conducted by the founder of the Crop Circle Visitor Centre and Exhibition in Pewsey Vale.

Crop circle enthusiasts attribute the record to the high number of ley lines - ancient pathways aiding navigation - in the county such as Stonehenge.

But sceptics believe they are man-made.

Crop circles are unexplained designs that appear, usually overnight, often in fields of wheat and corn.

There are many theories about crop circle formation which include earth energies, gravitational forces and extra-terrestrial origins.

For years, many people thought they were the creation of alien visitors from space, until it was discovered humans were playing tricks.

"There are obviously man-made ones out there," said Monique Klinkenbergh, founder of the crop circle exhibition in Pewsey Vale.

"But, if you listen to eye witness accounts, the unexplained circles have one thing in common, they were formed in minutes, or seconds, by an invisible source.

"There is definitely a mystery going on, but its very hard to label the source, whether it is extra-terrestrial, paranormal or just nature."

Comment: Judging by the variety of designs - from incredibly complex and creative, to crude and basic - it seems likely that there are a few sources for these crop circles, including man-made, whereas others seem to be the result of intelligent, positive or negative forces.

Ms Klinkenbergh said she believed the reason for Wiltshire's record number was the numerous ancient sites there.

"The county is so famous for those sites of heritage, and I believe the crop circles are attracted to those places," she said.

"What a fantastic record to hold."

The most recent crop circle observations occurred in Winterbourne Bassett and Potterne Hill on the 4 and 7 June.

Comment: Some Wikipedia snippets about Wiltshire:

Salisbury Plain is noted for the Stonehenge and Aveburystone circles (which together are a UNESCOWorld Heritage Site) and other ancient landmarks. Much of the plain is a training area for the British Army. The city of Salisbury is notable for its medieval cathedral. Large country houses open to the public include Longleat (where there is also a safari park) and the National Trust's Stourhead.

[...]

Chalk is a porous rock, so the chalk hills have little surface water. The main settlements in the county are therefore situated at wet points. Notably, Salisbury is situated between the chalk of Salisbury Plain and marshy flood plains.

[...]

In addition, there is higher-than-average employment in public administration and defence, due to the military establishments around the county, particularly around Amesbury and Corsham. There are sizeable British Army barracks at Tidworth, Bulford and Warminster, and the Royal School of Artillery is at Larkhill. Further north, RAF Lyneham was home to the RAF's Hercules C130 fleet until 2011; the MoD Lyneham site is now a centre for Army technical training. Wiltshire is also distinctive for the high proportion of its working-age population who are economically active (86.6% in 1999-2000) and its low unemployment rates. The gross domestic product (GDP) level in Wiltshire did not reach the UK average in 1998, and was only marginally above the rate for South West England.^[15]
[...]

The county registered a population of 680,137 in the 2011 Census. Wiltshire (outside Swindon) has a low population density of 1.4 persons per hectare, when compared against 4.1 for England as a whole.^[18]^[19]^[20]

Notably, the infamous Porton Down 'science and technology campus' - heavily involved in biowarfare research - is also situated in Wiltshire:

Porton Down is a science and defence technology campus in Wiltshire, England, just north-east of the village of Porton, near Salisbury. It is home to two British government facilities: a site of the Ministry of Defence's Defence Science and Technology Laboratory - known for over 100 years as one of the UK's most secretive and controversial military research facilities, occupying 7,000 acres (2,800 ha)^[1] - and a site of the UK Health Security Agency.^[2] Since 2018, part of the campus has housed Porton Science Park, which is owned and operated by Wiltshire Council and has private sector companies in the health, life science and defence and security sectors.

Wiltshire happens to so sit on a Ley line that runs from the St Michael's Mount in Cornwall, to Hopton in Norfolk, what isn't commonly known is that 6 other Ley lines converge here too, so it doesn't surprise me that Wiltshire features so many crop circles.

Winternights3 Leylines were assumed based on the location of ancient sacred sites and high populations. So as I understand it, they were created with the conclusion first. And perhaps that is the only method we have for determining old ley lines. But I wonder if ley lines are determined by Earth's magnetism or gravity, which is not static. So old places of power can move over geologic time.

As the article states, some of the crop circles are demonstrably man-made. And there is definitely a mystery to all of the crop circles that aren't. I've seen two videos of crop circles either forming, or uncut video where they weren't there one moment, but were when the recorder panned back. There are many, many fakes, but there were two I believed, and one of them was near Stonehenge and the other was in South America somewhere.

There are often reports of steam or a cloud above the field from those who claim to have observed them forming. There are also rumors that they are created with space lasers (satellites with powerful lasers) but I'm not sure I buy that as the source, since the atmosphere is not homogenous and if you shine a laser through a warped lens, you likely wouldn't get a symmetric outcome. But, as these circles do seem to appear out of nowhere, and I think this sort of thing could be achieved by a knowledgeable conscious being, then I find the idea that these are caused by invisible NHI (or very esoterically knowledgeable HI) believable.

The BBC, of all shabby media outlets ...

S ure. Everything is "unexplained" until our highly esteemed governments and mass media explain it to us.

Quote of the Day

Today as never before we need to comprehend the course, logic, and path of the process of history. Every day we need to make decisions that will affect future generations. It has become obvious that no single nation, confession, social class or even civilization can solve these problems on its own. We increasingly have to listen to one another: Europe and Asia, Christians and Muslims, White and Black peoples, citizens of modern democratic states and places where traditional society survives. The key is to understand one another correctly, avoid hasty conclusions, and acquire the true spirit of tolerance and respect toward those with different value systems, habits, and norms.
