The Mayan styled crop circle reported on the 5th July 2009 at Silbury Hill in Wiltshire is a true marvel. I am lost for words, as are so many others at the stunning beauty of this creation in the wheat fields of some of the most sacred landscape in Britain. Click here for aerial image. I have been so busy out in the field visiting crop circles and meeting amazing people, I haven’t had a chance to update my website for a while.

I wanted to do this quick post to present a piece of remarkable evidence I found in the Mayan crop formation at Silbury Hill. I discovered a patch of fanned wheat which was layed down coming around the edge of a standing section of crop.

I was amazed to find that each and every stem was bent at each node to produce the curved fan effect. I have seen the bent node effect before in upright crop, most recently at Milk Hill in the small formation as you enter the field below the white horse. In these previous examples, the effect is often dismissed by skeptics as being due to phototropism, ie when a plant which has been flattened regrows towards sunlight.

The bent nodes in the Silbury Hill crop formation cannot be dismissed in this way as the plants are horizontal and flat to the ground. Click here to enlarge image showing the fan effect in the Silbury Hill Mayan crop formation.

These photos clearly show the swollen and bent nodes in the plants. Click on images for enlargements.

I will be writing further updates shortly, but for now I’m knackered!
