Attached photographs (1)

inferred link These pictures did not come with a source record of this formation. Each one is a single-photograph archive entry whose own date and place the index matched to this formation; nothing about the formation itself comes from them. The rule, the score and the evidence are printed with each record so the link can be checked, and the credit stays with the photograph.

Claims about this formation

45 claim(s) extracted by lexicon from the texts above, written by Gerald Plumb, Paul Jacobs (CGI), Red Collie (Dr. Horace R. Drew), Temporary Temples. A claim row is a record of what an author wrote, with the sentence verbatim. It is not evidence about the formation, and nothing here is tested on this page.

Up to 3 quote(s) per type, verbatim from the document:

• “These symbols usually suggest elements of time in the Mayan Long Count calendar.” calendar · Red Collie (Dr. Horace R. Drew) · source page
• “Therefore I searched for a Mayan calendar date in the remainder of this crop picture, and quickly found “1.9.1” which matches June 17, 2014 in our Julian-Gregorian calendar:” calendar · Red Collie (Dr. Horace R. Drew) · source page
• “Looking at this very inclusive crop circle, as if the lunar crescent is at the top and the spiral formations at the bottom of the design, it becomes apparent that the Badbury Rings formation is a succinct, complex and profound statement.” astronomical · source page
• “When we look at the design from the lunar crescent down, we see two angular aspects: beginning at the circle inside the lunar crescent, the ‘top’ angle is about 45 degrees whose arms form a ‘compass’; the ‘lower’ angle is about 90 degrees whose arms form a ‘square’ which join and deflect the path of the compass arms so both sets of arms meet together at an outer top point of the square labyrinth spirals.” astronomical · source page
• “The Action of spirit and matter coincide, and both reach out from the Unconscious (or Unknown), represented by the lunar crescent, towards the labyrinthine symbol of life on Earth.” astronomical · source page
• “A new crop picture near Banbury Rings on June 17, 2014 shows the image of a “parachute”, with additional metaphors for the “Tree of Life” and the “Yggdrasil World Tree”, along with a Mayan calendardate of 1.9.1” comparison · Red Collie (Dr. Horace R. Drew) · source page
• “Three “large dots” in this crop picture match the “nose and two eyes of Quetzalcoatl” from a famous crop picture near Silbury Hill on July 5, 2009.” comparison · Red Collie (Dr. Horace R. Drew) · source page
• “The circlemakers’ technique of combining ancient known symbolism to give us new information and trigger new perceptions makes it seem as if there is an overall plan to which humanity, through time and as material conscious beings, belong.” authorship_et · source page
• “We later met up with the farmer who was very interested in CGI services and seemed very friendly and up for suggestions.” authorship_human · Paul Jacobs (CGI) · source page
• “Paul Jacobs (CGI)” authorship_human · Paul Jacobs (CGI) · source page
• “Images Paul Jacobs (CGI) Copyright 2014” authorship_human · source page
• “Not only does it obviously allude to three great world traditions (Norse, Jewish, and Mayan) and their perceptions of the Cosmos, but it also adds the Masonic traditional symbol of the Compass and the Square and a indirect reference to the Eastern Yin Yang symbol to the mixture.” landscape · source page
• “The circlemakers’ technique of combining ancient known symbolism to give us new information and trigger new perceptions makes it seem as if there is an overall plan to which humanity, through time and as material conscious beings, belong.” landscape · source page
• “The Compass was a popular symbol for the Creator as divine Architect of the cosmos in the Middle Ages.” landscape · source page
• “The extensive and complex geometry gave me no real feeling to scrutinise too closely as it was almost like I had been here before and instinctively recognised it’s qualities.” science · Paul Jacobs (CGI) · source page

Geometry

15 diagram file(s) on this page. measured from the diagram itself, and experimental: the extractor's rotational order is right on 88.8 % of a 200-diagram hand-labelled set against a gate of 90 %, so read a number here beside the picture rather than instead of it.

Experimental, and marked ≈ wherever it appears. These numbers are read off a drawing, not off the field: the extractor's rotational order agrees with a hand-labelled set on 88.8 per cent of 200 diagrams against a gate of 90 per cent, its element count is within one on 97.5 per cent, and its ring count is not calibrated at all. Nothing in the analysis tree is derived from the rotational order while that gate is unmet.

Diagrams that look like these: cc 19d96b08 · ccc 4fa7d035 · ccc 694a3ad1 · ccc 19d96b08 · ccc 94247b98 · ccc a6b81543 · ccc ea7bdd12 · tt ca917926 · tt c02897de · tt f1fed3b0 · tt 4eea5686 · tt 35c929da · tt 2a5b0752 · tt 33e2595a— the nearest by perceptual hash. The whole archive is browsable by shape in the shape section, and this formation's own diagrams go straight into that grid: show them in the grid.
