The Burham Formation Discovered in Barley on the 24th June...

This formation compares well to the "Star of Istead" event of July 2000, as well as the "Burham Starburst" that burst upon the scene during July 2003. Both those events easily compare with the present offering once you start dissecting some of its design features. At the heart of all three lies a six-pointed star that symbolically reads as "as above - so below, or, as within - so without".

The "Star of Istead" featured three-in-a-row sets of diminishing circles just outside its basic star shape, whilst the "Burham Starburst" received another additional triangle just outside the main formation on its lower right-hand side. This extra addition that arrived just hours away from being kissed goodbye by the "grim reaper", is as far as we know, only known to have been recorded photographically through footage aired by Meridian TV.

In the latest formation the diminishing circles and the triangle visible just outside the formation on the top left-hand side have been hotly debated. Some have perceived them as a quick-fix cover-up on behalf of its makers due to the rather odd geometric stretching of its innards! But it has to be realised that this isn't a round formation we're dealing with here for it's quite oblate, and I'm sure these outer circles were meant to be.

The external ARROW I believe is pointing to CIRCLES (as in crop circles) that are all sitting upon a straight line. The direction of the line heads due west and straight through the position of the "Burham Starburst" of 2003 which was only a few fields away. Compared to some of our past events it was quite a small circle...just like the one that's first pointed to by the arrow. But there's more...If you carry on with this alignment it crosses the River Medway a few miles away running past Snodland Church, where it then heads directly over to where a much larger formation came down at "Holly Hill" in '98. Although this all needs to be checked more thoroughly, after having gone over it all several times, I wouldn't mind betting that I'm not far out in my calculations. Obviously this now begs the question...Can we expect another large formation somewhere along this line in the near future, or during another season?

The formation arrived on the 24/6/06...If we add 2+4 we have 6 which gives us 666! (Now make of that whatever you want!) But it has to be said that including this formation, both the "Burham Starburst" and the "Holly Hill Circles" are all basically six-fold designs. All three of these events accommodate in one way or another a six pointed star, which becomes even more obvious when you start overlaying them.

In 2004 the same field received a formation that became known as the "Burham Circles". It appeared directly in the opposite corner of the field to the new formation that's already earned the nickname the "Pointing Star". And as you can see it to is also quite willing to accommodate six-folds.
