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.

Claims about this formation

37 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:

• “The new crop picture at Etchilhampton encodes information about “calendar dates” in two different and subtle ways.” calendar · Red Collie (Dr. Horace R. Drew) · source page
• “It is also close to a date of “August 23” which was suggested by a crop “calendar” at Chilcomb Ranges on August 3, 2016 (see chilcomb Ranges articles).” calendar · Red Collie (Dr. Horace R. Drew) · source page
• “Two different dates of August 8 or August 22 were encoded by the new Etchilhampton crop picture on August 8, 2016, using either “geometry” or a “map of the night sky”” astronomical · Red Collie (Dr. Horace R. Drew) · source page
• “Second and more subtly, the combination of two “ghost” images from crop pictures in the summer of 2015, along with this new crop picture from the summer of 2016, creates a partial “map of the night sky” in the field nearby.” astronomical · Red Collie (Dr. Horace R. Drew) · source page
• “With the help of Michael Romeo, I found that these three field images create a partial “map of the night sky” for two bright planets Saturn and Mars, plus a bright star Antares, on a date of August 22, 2016 at 1200 UTC, plus or minus 12 hours:” astronomical · Red Collie (Dr. Horace R. Drew) · source page

• “The new crop picture at Etchilhampton encodes information about “calendar dates” in two different and subtle ways.” code · Red Collie (Dr. Horace R. Drew) · source page
• “On the right, we can see a large capital letter “L” which stands for “love”, just like in many other crop-picture landscapes over the years.” code · Red Collie (Dr. Horace R. Drew) · source page
• “There is still something else exciting to see soon!” prediction · Red Collie (Dr. Horace R. Drew) · source page
• “Two different dates of August 8 or August 22 were encoded by the new Etchilhampton crop picture on August 8, 2016, using either “geometry” or a “map of the night sky”” comparison · Red Collie (Dr. Horace R. Drew) · source page

• “One of those two “ghost” crop pictures appeared on August 3, and the other on August 19, 2015. If we add those two monthly dates together, we find “August 22” which is what the new “sky map” in 2016 shows.” comparison · Red Collie (Dr. Horace R. Drew) · source page
• “NOTICE TO ALIENS and Circlemakers.” authorship_et · source page
• “This date of “August 22” is important, because it was when another “unicursal hexagram” was drawn in crops near Ackling Dike on August 22, 2014, next to the landscape image of a “star cluster” (see Etchilhampton comments or sixpenny-handley2-cropcircle 2014).” landscape · Red Collie (Dr. Horace R. Drew) · source page
• “An amusing metaphor in the broad landscape nearby: “love L is the law”” landscape · Red Collie (Dr. Horace R. Drew) · source page
• “When we use Google Earth to examine where this new crop picture was drawn, and ask how its “unicursal hexagram” relates to the broad landscape nearby, we find an amusing metaphor.” landscape · Red Collie (Dr. Horace R. Drew) · source page

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 3b2bb63d · ccc 980e9bfa · ccc 6145061e · 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.
