An enigmatic crop picture which appeared near Rodmarton on July 15, 2014 shows images of a “parachute”, “serpent” and “Aztec calendar wheel”: what might all of these symbols mean?  

A new crop picture which appeared near Rodmarton, Gloucestershire on July 15 was probably the most difficult and cryptic of 2014 to understand (so far). Its primary metaphor remains somewhat obscure, but has generally been accepted (after many discussions among researchers) to be that of a “man skydiving with a parachute”:  

Such “parachute” imagery was also drawn in crops near Badbury Rings on June 17, 2014:  

When we look on Google Earth, to learn where this new crop picture at Rodmarton appears in the overall landscape, we find that it lies near the tip of a “broad green arrow”, which points right-to-left in the slide below:  

Two large “letters” as “D” and “G” also are found in the landscape nearby.  

At the pointed tip of that “broad arrow”, we can see a small “serpent” shape:  

Are “parachutes” and a “serpent” going somewhere together? 

When we follow the direction of that “broad arrow” to see where it points on Google Earth, we find the humorous image of a “serpent landing at a nearby airport”:  

That “large serpent” matches a “small serpent” seen near the crop picture. It is shown wearing “aviator goggles”, as if the crop artist were an airplane pilot!  

The crop artists drew their first “parachute” image very clearly at Badbury Rings on June 17, 2014. Why did they draw their second “parachute” image so obscurely at Rodmarton on July 15, 2014?  

In this case they seem to be drawing it more “roundly”, as for the style of an “Aztec calendar wheel”:  

An Aztec calendar wheel shows 20 outer sections for “20 days”, which make up any Aztec month. This crop picture appeared on July 15, so 20 days later will be August 4.  

The new field image at Rodmarton also resembles a crop picture which appeared near Monument Hill on August 6, 2013 (shown at lower right above). Might they be trying to tell us that something important will happen around August 4 to 6 in 2014?  

The Aztec calendar known as “Tonalpohualli” is another version of the Mayan “Tzolkin”. Day 20 of this Aztec calendar is represented by the symbol “Xochitl” which means “flower”:  

Given such beautiful calendar symbolism, some possible event in early August seems likely to be wonderful!  

Was Rodmarton of July 15 made by the same crop artist who drew a “full Moon” glyph at Hackpen Hill on July 8, 2014?  

That “lunar glyph” showed 16 (or 15.5) wedges around the outside, in order to symbolize how many days our Moon remains visible above the horizon, during any complete phase cycle of 29.5 days. By analogy, the new “parachute” glyph at Rodmarton can probably be associated with “20 days”.  

To conclude, this new crop picture at Rodmarton was difficult to understand for three reasons.  

First, the primary metaphor of its flattened crop seems fairly obscure. It was only recognized after lengthy study by many different people (interactively on Facebook) as a “man skydiving with a parachute”.  

Secondly, the new crop picture was drawn within a large "field arrow", which lies far from its major focus of landscape symbolism, namely the humorous image of a "serpent landing at an airfield”. Close to that “field arrow”, we can see two large “letters” in the landscape which resemble “D” and “G”. Perhaps the crop artist drew this new “parachute” image within an “arrow”, far away from the “airfield”, in order to associate it with those two “letters”?  

Thirdly, its "parachute" image was not drawn as clearly as at Badbury one month earlier, but rather from a different visual perspective, in the approximate fashion of an "Aztec calendar wheel".  Any Aztec calendar wheel shows 20 outer divisions for 20 days in an Aztec month. The symbol for day 20 of that calendar cycle is “Xochitl” or “flower”, which also resembles the crop picture as shown.  

The new crop picture further resembles one which appeared near Monument Hill on August 6, 2013. Are they suggesting that a date close to August 4 or 6, 2014 will be important for some reason? We wait with great anticipation to see what happens next!

P.S. If these amazing field images were being received in binary code on Earth’s radio telescopes, then all of the world’s scientists would be standing in a queue for hours, just to get access to the data. Yet because such messages are appearing in many different fields across England or Europe (repeatedly and mysteriously), hardly any scientists on Earth are paying attention to the various messages received. Those learned scholars believe that no extra-terrestrials are currently anywhere near Earth, that all UFO reports are false, and that time travel remains impossible. Thus they return to their laboratories, libraries or meeting halls to discuss more conventional scientific topics!  

What a shock it will be for the academic classes on Earth, when the crop artists finally appear openly, so that the whole world can see them. Just after I solved an x-ray crystal structure of left-handed DNA in 1979 (which was not known at the time), the distinguished scientist Alex Rich, who found the first example a few months earlier, told me at a meeting, “We have been like horses wearing blinders!”
