Reports of Unidentified Flying Object: The English Corn Circles in 1988 – Significant Alignments
On August 4 yet another large quintuple set of Circles the fifth-was reported to have been found in a remote wheat field on the slopes of Allington Down, about a mile and a half south of Silbury Hill (see Figure 3:7). This quintuple was of similar size to the others but had adjacent pairs of clockwise and anticlockwise satellites. For once, the formation was not aligned with the ”tramlines’ ‘ through the com, which was surprising. However, when I first reached the main circle, I found that large sections of this particular field displayed long parallel striations in the crop where the wheat was more lightly colored . One axis of the quintuple was aligned precisely parallel to these features.
If this alignment merely reinforced the unmistakable indication of intelligent “location” another significant alignment was now quite apparent. A line drawn through this latest quintuple and through the position of the other two at Silbury Hill also runs through Silbury Hill itself as well as Avebury. Moreover, the position of the UFO seen by Mary Freeman just south of Ave bury, as indicated by her, lay, so far as we could be sure, right on the line. The “energy beam” which she had seen was, it then appeared, directed along this imaginary line.
Quite apart from this, one could see from the map (Figure 3: 6) that another line drawn through the two western quintuples near Beckhampton intersected the first line in just the position where the UFO had been seen. Surely this was more than coincidence?
Further investigation soon led me to think that the first line described above was indeed a ley line. It additionally passed through other ancient sites including that of a Stone Circle, of which no trace now remains, at O.S. Grid Ref. SU098671 . It was after writing an article for Flying Saucer Review on the Silbury Hill Circles, in which I referred to this as a ley line, 1 1 that I went to consult John Michell on the subject. While with him, I was looking through his copy of Paul Devereux’s book, The Ley Hunters Companion, 12 when I chanced on an aerial photograph of Avebury and Silbury Hill on which was imposed an oblique white line. Such was the position of this line that my initial re action was that this was an artist’s impression of the beam shining down from Mary Freeman’s UFO. It was in fact a representation of the ley line which passes through Ave bury and Silbury Hill , and is described in great detail by the author. This corresponds very closely with our first line, described above.
