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

7 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

19 claim(s) extracted by lexicon from the texts above, written by Red Collie (Dr. Horace R. Drew). 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:

• “Three large circles, which make up the “body” of that “serpent,” may also represent “three days” past a full Moon on July 19. On each successive day 1-2-3 leading into July 22, the big, round, full Moon became a little less bright, as suggested by three successively-smaller circular radii which were drawn in crops.” astronomical · Red Collie (Dr. Horace R. Drew) · source page
• “Such a “serpentine” curve might even represent the path of our Moon through Earth’s sky, relative to the solar ecliptic, for any complete lunar phase cycle (see a-minor-lunar-standstill-for-2015).” astronomical · Red Collie (Dr. Horace R. Drew) · source page
• “A crop picture in East Field on July 22, 2016 shows a “serpent slithering” towards a landscape number of “17” nearby, which may be a measure of “time”” comparison · Red Collie (Dr. Horace R. Drew) · source page
• “This may be a reference to the “sharks circling” crop picture, which appeared at Hackpen Hill one month before on June 23, 2016. That particular crop picture showed “two sharks” circling a “Celtic triquetra”.” comparison · Red Collie (Dr. Horace R. Drew) · source page
• “IMAGE THE CROP CIRCLE CONNECTOR COPYRIGHT 2016” comparison · source page
• “A crop picture in East Field on July 22, 2016 shows a “serpent slithering” towards a landscape number of “17” nearby, which may be a measure of “time”” landscape · Red Collie (Dr. Horace R. Drew) · source page
• “A serpentine shape for this new crop picture suggests the “slithering” of a “spotted cat-snake”: where is that serpent going?” landscape · Red Collie (Dr. Horace R. Drew) · source page
• “Three large circles, which make up the “body” of that “serpent,” may also represent “three days” past a full Moon on July 19.

Geometry

5 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 6d381ed3 · ccc d887d58e · ccc 6d381ed3 · ccc 800f6e52— 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.
