Chilcomb Down, nr Winchester, Hampshire narrative · tt
author: Temporary Temples (site default) · date: 21 June 2016 (record) · language: en· 1,293 characters · source page
This very pretty formation was reported on the 21st of June and is located very close to the Winchester Science Centre and Planetarium. Chilcomb Down has been the site for many formations over the years, the last formation to appear there was in 2013 (see here for more information). The crop circle measures approximately 170ft in diameter and is in a field of very young, green wheat.
The design is a very pretty six-fold formation; a set of overlapping bubbles that create a flower, or doily-like mandala. There is a selection of standing segments inside the flattened centre and a very fine ring around the central design that contains the entire formation. It gives the impression of a collection of transparent bubbles, or perhaps cells. See the geometry gallery below for drawings of the formation.

A new kind of “sacred geometry” was drawn in crops at Chilcomb Down near Winchester Science Centre on June 21, 2016: interesting features of its field location and nearby landscape alignments
The three most fundamental shapes of “sacred geometry” are a “Seed of Life” with 6 + 1 = 7 circles, an “Egg of Life” with 12 + 1 = 13 circles, and a “Flower of Life” with 18 + 1 = 19 circles (see flower-life). The “Seed of Life” may show a “hexagon” at its centre, owing to underlying six-fold symmetry (see www.youtube.com).

As stated above this formation is six-fold in nature and gives the impression of a collection of transparent bubbles collected together. Six is the number of love and harmony and also of ‘best ‘economy’ – the bee creates hexagonal honey combs to hold the maximum amount of honey using the least amount of raw materials (in love and harmony with the natural environment!). It is the first of the so-called perfect numbers (numbers which are the sum of all their divisors), it is also the number of days it took to create the world…
Have a look at the gallery below for a series of pictures of my drawing in various stages of progress…

Chilcomb Down 2016: the finished painting Very Preliminary initial sketch of the interior of the formation... Chilcomb Down 2016: Key to this pattern is not the fact it is collection of circles, but rather a collection of fine rings. Chilcomb Down 2016: the pattern emerges as construction lines are removed. Chilcomb Down 2016: the completed pencil line drawing Chilcomb Down 2016: Looking again, the boxes within the four-fold flowers in the centre need to be removed. Chilcomb Down 2016: Watercolour paint goes in... Chilcomb Down 2016: the final stage - the drawing in begins to be painted in.

A general-purpose template for creating “sacred geometry”: the new crop picture at Chilcomb Down on June 21, 2016 has hidden geometrical significance, and would be useful for teaching science to young children at the Science Centre nearby
This new crop picture at Chilcomb Down shows a general-purpose template for creating "sacred geometry" of various kinds. Three different examples of how to use this clever “template” are described below, for the “Seed of Life” or “Flower of Life”. Two different rotational orientations are most relevant, differing by 30 degrees.

I went to the formation today - quite difficult to find as it's not visible from any road. I parked my bike in a lay-by on the A272, just after the roundabout/A31, walked up the field and found it after wandering about for almost half an hour. Here is the video, which you're welcome to put on the site. Crop Circle at Chilcomb Down, Hampshire, U.K. June 2016 I've also got some photos to go through and I will send a few later...

Geometry
14 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 d9ae554c | ≈ 6-fold score 0.906 | 3 | 4 | 0.932 | 0.4094 |
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.
