The Venusians say: in five days! The final message?
At least, it's the first message that seems to come out of the recent crop circle in Sandal Castle, England. Sandal Castle is a ruined medieval castle in Sandal Magna, a suburb of the town of Wakefield in West Yorkshire, England, overlooking the River Calder. It was the site of the intrigue of the nobility and the setting for one of William Shakespeare's plays. Shakespeare's play Henry VI, Part 3 (Act 1, Scene 2) takes place in Sandal Castle. He describes Richard's sons urging him to take the crown before news of Margaret's approach is brought. Act 1, scene 4, describes Richard's death at the hands of the Queen.

A small, informal crop picture near Sandal Castle in Yorkshire on August 16, 2021 shows a five-pointed star for “Venus”, and points to the landscape image of a “dragon” nearby
This new crop picture, consisting of a five-pointed star with five round “balls” around it, plus 10 curved arcs just outside, points toward the landscape image of a “dragon”, just tens of metres away (marked with a red dashed line in the slide below):
