A new
crop picture near Alton Barnes on June 20, 2014 shows the image of
an “airplane” with “windows” and “wingtip vortices”, close to an
“airplane” in the landscape, and suggests the enigmatic numbers of
“10” and “2”
A new
crop picture near Alton Barnes on June 20, 2014 appears fairly
authentic, as judging from certain characteristics of its fallen
plants. For example, both of its large flattened circles show
off-centre spirals, which cannot be produced easily by
mechanical means. Also we can see thin lines of standing crop
within both of its large flattened circles, close to crop tramlines.
Those thin lines mark where the energy of flattening does not
“conduct well” due to an empty space (as noted by Paul Jacobs).
This new
crop picture is somewhat abstract, consisting of just ten small
circles and two large circles. Various interpretations might be
legitimately be made! Our favoured interpretation is that of an
“airplane”. Consistent with this metaphor, ten flattened circles of
small diameter, drawn neatly in a row, could be the airplane
“windows”:
Two
flattened circles of large diameter, both of which show off-centre
spirals, could represent “wingtip vortices”:
Not far
away, we can see a “V-shaped aircraft” shape in the landscape, which
seems to support our favoured metaphor of an “airplane”:
Looking
down using Google Earth, we can see the V-shape of that “landscape
airplane” more clearly:
We can
also see (on the left) a round “enclosure”, where the “swallows”
crop picture appeared during July of 2008. This new crop picture
lies just next to that same “enclosure”. Metaphorically, one might
imagine that our 2014 “airplane” is flying out of the
enclosure, just as a swallow escapes from its cage!
Two
different numbers “10” and “2” were suggested by this new crop
picture. Written as “10-2”, they match “102 tail feathers” which may
be counted in the “swallows” of 2008:
Several
other landscape features may be of interest. For example, 10 small
circles from the new crop picture match a row of 10 trees in the
landscape just below:
Studying
the landscape more broadly, we can see a large “heart” shape which
extends across several kilometres, along with a large “serpent”
shape that resembles a “serpent” crop picture near Milk Hill on June
25, 2012:
Is the
crop artist, whose symbol is often a “serpent”, trying to tell us
that he is “coming with love”?
What
else might the crop artist be trying to tell us? Two “airplane”
numbers of “10” and “2” could possibly
represent a Mayan calendar date of 1.10.2 for July 8,
2014, which is not far off. We saw a Mayan calendar date of 1.9.1
suggested at Badbury Rings on its matching date of appearance of
June 17, 2014.
July 8,
2014 lies 192 days past December 28, 2013, when a
famous crop picture appeared six months ago near Chualar,
California. Linda Howe and Mark Wood have suggested that a “1-9-2
clock” from the Chualar crop picture seems to provide a good match
to orbital locations for Earth, Venus and Mars on July 8, 2014.
We might
also expect to see a crop picture of significance on July 7, 2014,
which is “7-7-14”, by analogy with a 7-7-2007 crop picture in East
Field seven years ago.
