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.

Source records

What each source published, side by side. A row whose values differ across the sources is marked: the archive prints the disagreement rather than choosing a winner.

Texts

6 document(s), each attached to the record whose page hosts it. These are other people's words: quoted here in short attributed extract, with a link to the page that published each one in full.

Claims about this formation

65 claim(s) extracted by lexicon from the texts above, written by Eva-Marie Brekkestø, Marc Smulders, 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:

• “Whether our crop-artist friend just enjoys watching the night sky, or is using those three bright sky objects to provide “universal calendar dates” for his time-travel adventures in the year 2016, remains to be determined.” calendar · Red Collie (Dr. Horace R. Drew) · source page
• “A third “map of the night sky” involving Mars, Antares and Saturn was drawn using fallen crop and nearby landscape features at Wessex Ridgeway on July 16, 2016” astronomical · Red Collie (Dr. Horace R. Drew) · source page
• “Two “maps of the night sky” for Saturn, Mars and Antares appeared at Etchilhampton on August 8, or at Nursteed Farm on August 17, 2016” astronomical · Red Collie (Dr. Horace R. Drew) · source page
• “It represented a partial “map of the night sky”, and was drawn using fallen crop in combination with nearby landscape features (two “ghost” crop pictures from 2015).” astronomical · Red Collie (Dr. Horace R. Drew) · source page
• “We were unable to understand what a simple “circle and dot” crop picture, which was drawn at Wessex Ridgeway on July 16, 2016, might be trying to tell us, until two other crop pictures and landscape features of similar “triangular” shape appeared in early to mid-August of 2016, not far away at Etchilhampton or Nursteed Farm.” comparison · Red Collie (Dr. Horace R. Drew) · source page

• “There is no doubt that all three of these crop pictures were designed from a high aerial perspective, and are perhaps meant to be seen from space, since those “triangular” shapes cannot be seen easily from the ground.” authorship_et · Red Collie (Dr. Horace R. Drew) · source page
• “In summary, this “man” (the mysterious crop artist) seems to have been watching a triangular sky configuration for Saturn, Mars and Antares from at least July 16 to August 17, 2016. We see “sky maps” drawn in the landscape on a fairly regular basis when study crop pictures.” authorship_et · Red Collie (Dr. Horace R. Drew) · source page
• “Perhaps the crop artist just enjoys watching Earth’s night sky?” authorship_et · Red Collie (Dr. Horace R. Drew) · source page
• “Some excellent field reports by Eva-Marie Brekkesto or Peter Tadd suggest that this simple “circle and dot” crop picture was not man-made (see wessex ridgeway field reports).” authorship_human · Red Collie (Dr. Horace R. Drew) · source page
• “No obvious signs of human hoaxing could be seen on the ground or from the aerial photographic perspectives.” authorship_human · Eva-Marie Brekkestø · source page

Geometry

3 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 8681461b · tt 0f6d778c— 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.
