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

3 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

30 claim(s) extracted by lexicon from the texts above, written by Kenneth Heck, 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:

• “Based on a detailed study of this crop picture from the Comments page, we were able to suggest that it means “trying to do the impossible” for humans on planet Earth today.” astronomical · Red Collie (Dr. Horace R. Drew) · source page
• “crop artists often draw a “Celtic cross”, as their symbol for “planet Earth” with its four yearly seasons (see Potterne comments).” astronomical · Red Collie (Dr. Horace R. Drew) · source page
• “In summary, when those crop artists draw a “Celtic cross” symbol for “planet Earth”, along with a standard geometrical diagram for “squaring the circle”, they mean that they are trying to do something impossible for humans on planet Earth.” astronomical · Red Collie (Dr. Horace R. Drew) · source page
• “Why did those mysterious crop artists draw a “Celtic cross” in a certain field, just northwest of Old Whittington?” authorship_et · Red Collie (Dr. Horace R. Drew) · source page
• “The crop artist Quetzalcoatl sometimes refers to himself as a “feathered serpent”.” authorship_et · Red Collie (Dr. Horace R. Drew) · source page
• “In summary, it would seem that the E.T.” authorship_et · Red Collie (Dr. Horace R. Drew) · source page
• “When we used Google Earth to see where in the landscape this crop picture was drawn, close to Old Whittington, we could see immediately an amusing image of the war-like, bloodthirsty “baboon god Babi”, with what seems to be a “pitchfork” sticking into his ass:” landscape · Red Collie (Dr. Horace R. Drew) · source page
• “It was drawn immediately next to where the “handle” and three “prongs” of that landscape “pitchfork” cross over.” landscape · Red Collie (Dr. Horace R. Drew) · source page
• ““Squaring the circle” is often used as a metaphor for “trying to do the impossible” (see Squaring_the_circle).” landscape · Red Collie (Dr. Horace R. Drew) · source page
• “This new crop picture also shows a geometrical construction for “squaring the circle” (see Brushes comments).” science · Red Collie (Dr. Horace R. Drew) · source page
• “We can see in this new crop picture both a four-armed “Celtic cross”, and also a geometrical construction for “squaring the circle”.” science · Red Collie (Dr. Horace R. Drew) · source page
• “Likewise its large square and large, thin circle show a well-known geometrical diagram for “squaring the circle” (see Squaring_the_circle).” science · 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 23a3bda2 · ccc 3771eea1 · ccc 43e4f8bf · ccc 84878975— 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.
