A new crop picture near Alton Barnes on June 20, 2014 shows the image of an “airplane” with “windows” and “wingtip vortices”, close to an “airplane” in the landscape, and suggests the enigmatic numbers of “10” and “2”
A new crop picture near Alton Barnes on June 20, 2014 appears fairly authentic, as judging from certain characteristics of its fallen plants. For example, both of its large flattened circles show off-centre spirals, which cannot be produced easily by mechanical means. Also we can see thin lines of standing crop within both of its large flattened circles, close to crop tramlines. Those thin lines mark where the energy of flattening does not “conduct well” due to an empty space (as noted by Paul Jacobs).

Geometry
4 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.
| diagram | rotational symmetry | elements | rings | mirror | fill |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| cc 58b57b02 | ≈ none found | 5 | 1 | 0.834 | 0.4712 |
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 58b57b02 · ccc 58b57b02 · ccc 5bf9dd69— 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.
