Found in green wheat on the morning of 6th of July, 1985 near Alresford, Hampshire. The quintuplet set was clearly visible from the nearby A31 highway at grid ref: SU 543 292. Perhaps by co-incidence the next morning another identical formation was found south of Andover at Longstock. The large central circle measured 52.5 feet in diameter while the four smaller circles were all 10.5 feet. These were in ration by exactly 5:1. All were swirled CW. |
This was among the first
quintuplet sets to appear - the first being at Headbourne Worthy in 1978.
This set was found on 31st July, 1985 at Longstock and was the first crop
formation to be investigated by Busty Taylor. The center circle measured about 39.4 feet in diameter. The smaller circles all measured about 11.8 feet. The ratio of these two numbers is 3.333:1. The swirl in all was CW. |
