Crop Circles 1999

In 1999, crop circles in England were a notable phenomenon, with 1999 being a particularly prolific year for their appearance. The formations, characterized by their intricate designs and overnight appearance in fields of standing grain, drew both public fascination and scientific scrutiny. Some formations, like the Menorah at Barbury Castle and the Cube at Allington, became iconic examples of the season's crop circle art.

Avebury Manor, nr Avebury, Wiltshire - September 1, 1999

The 90-foot center circle has a bird's nest in the middle, which spirals out for a few feet, overlapping a radial lay, which in turn overlaps a clockwise lay that completes that circle. Each of the eight medium size circles has a different lay, ranging from the conventional, to S-swirl, to a sort of bizarre, spiral snake. These circles are each crowned with a small crescent, and (counting the ones inside the crescents) eight grapeshot adorn all of the eight "branches."
