While there have been two previous UK formations this year, one at at Barbury Castle, Wiltshire (in oilseed rape) reported on the 9th of April 2015 and another at Tarlton in Gloucestershire (in Barley) reported on the 19th of May – this crop circle at Manton Drove, is the first major formation of the 2015 season.

A spectacular crop picture at Manton Drove on May 24, 2015 showed repeated and unmistakeable codes, of both an astronomical and geometrical nature, in order to suggest a near-future day and hour of May 29, 2015 at 12 noon, when the volcano Mount Shindake exploded unexpectedly in southern Japan
A new crop picture appeared near Manton Drove in southern England on May 24, 2015, close to where a “polar clock” had appeared in crops three years earlier on June 2, 2012.

The central geometry of this formation is its thirteen-pointed star at its centre. It’s not possible to divide the 360° of a circle into thirteen whole-number sections. The division leaves us with an irrational number (a number who’s decimal places go on theoretically forever – 27.69230769… This makes drawing a thirteen pointed star accurately problematical and a degree of careful and skilful adjustment is needed to make sure all the lines meet at the apexes. The larger your drawing the larger margin there is for error. However, in this circle the thirteen points are achieved beautifully. The star has a small flattened central circle and is encompassed by a very thin ring touching the apexes of the star. Then, a further (and slightly wider) perimeter ring is placed around the entire design. Finally, on this perimeter ring is another feature of note and that is the four ‘satellite’…

There are claims on various internet crop circle sites, including RACCF,s Matt William’s own, that this formation is human made. Matt’s own ‘Quadcopter Made’ excellent video belies these claims.

Manton CC 24/5/05.
After speaking with the farmer’s mother the CGI representative was told that when he returned he would be informed of the CC but she could not give any authority to enter. Negotiations are still pending…(a CGI line of communication established) and so ground shots are not possible at this time. Our rep reported a Dutch car on the road with persons sighted within the CC, however the farmer’s mother knew nothing of this and admitted to no permissions given. We will keep you updated.

Up to 3 quote(s) per type, verbatim from the document:
- “The use of a 13-constellation zodiac also allows this crop picture to specify an overlapping date in the Mayan Long Count calendar, which read “13.0.2.8.2” on May 24, 2015.” calendar · source page
- “A Mayan calendar date of “13.0.2.8.7” for May 29, 2015” calendar · source page
- “If we were not clear in our minds already, which date this crop picture might specify, the crop artists kindly told us in yet another way, by using coded symbols from the Mayan Long Count calendar:” calendar · source page
- “Yet its details seem much more complicated than for the previous example, which supplied a known date of August 5, 2012, for when NASA Curiosity Rover would land on Mars.” astronomical · source page
- “A zodiac with 13 constellations rather than 12” astronomical · source page
- “It seems generally to be based on the concept of our night sky as a “wheel of stars”, which rotates along 13 different constellations of the zodiac:” astronomical · source page
- “A spectacular crop picture at Manton Drove on May 24, 2015 showed repeated and unmistakeable codes, of both an astronomical and geometrical nature, in order to suggest a near-future day and hour of May 29, 2015 at 12 noon, when the volcano Mount Shindake exploded unexpectedly in southern Japan” code · source page
- “Hours “2” and “5” lie tangent to the hypotenuse of this triangle, and suggest a number “25” which is the sum of its two sides 12 and 13.” code · source page

- “Could this be what the crop artists (as time travellers) were trying to tell us, five days earlier at Manton Drove on May 24?” authorship_et · source page
- “That Manton Drove crop picture was apparently a “mark” made by time travellers in order to denote an important historical event in our local timeline.” authorship_et · source page
- “Some of the patterned lays in this crop picture were so interesting, and so far beyond what any local humans could create using ”rope and boards”, that we thought it would be important to document them here.” authorship_human · source page
- “There are claims on various internet crop circle sites, including RACCF,s Matt William’s own, that this formation is human made.” authorship_human · J. S May 2015 · source page
- “It would be quicker and simpler to stomp the crop down with a short plank in straight swathes.” authorship_human · J. S May 2015 · source page
- “When we look somewhat more broadly in the local landscape, to inspect where this new crop picture was drawn, we can see a total of four telephone poles nearby.” landscape · source page
- “Using Google Earth, we measured angles and lengths between those four telephone poles and the crop picture more accurately.” landscape · source page

Geometry
12 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 cbe2ab8b | ≈ 13-fold score 0.851 | 2 | 5 | 0.919 | 0.3551 |
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 cbe2ab8b · ccc 6f441342 · ccc 908f3e34 · ccc cbe2ab8b · ccc 1ea5423a · tt 9d8192fd · tt c7bcc8f0 · tt abde0bd6 · tt 04fffbbc · tt bacead2a · tt a5fcbd8b— 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.
