A small but delicate crop picture which was found near Tarlton in Gloucestershire on April 18, 2017 shows no mechanical damage to its plants whatsoever, and resembles another crop picture which appeared near Cherhill in Wiltshire on April 17, 2017  

A new crop picture which was found near Tarlton on April 18, 2017 (it may have been there earlier) is quite important, because it shows no mechanical damage whatsoever to many “contrasted” plants of yellow oilseed rape (see Tarlton or www.youtube.com or www.youtube.com). In other words, there were no “rope and boards” used anywhere in its construction! The sceptics or debunkers of “crop pictures” will thus have no possible explanation for its means of formation or appearance.  

This new Tarlton field picture of April 18, 2017 resembles a crop circle “ghost”  

How then was the new crop picture made? Two small regions of “contrasted” crop are shown below, with high-resolution photographs courtesy of Matthew Williams. By studying his first photograph, we can see that the density and/or growth rates of yellow oilseed rape plants are significantly less for a “large circle” within its “lunar crescent” motif, than elsewhere in unaltered crop nearby:  

Likewise by studying his second photograph, we can see that the density and/or growth rates of yellow oilseed rape plants are significantly less for a “thin circle” which surrounds its “lunar crescent” motif on all sides, than for other unaltered planets nearby:  

In summary, no grown plants of yellow oilseed rape were mechanically altered or “flattened” at Tarlton in any way. Instead, the density and/or growth rates of intact plants were reduced in small regions of “contrast”, relative to normal unaltered plants nearby. Perhaps those small regions of “contrast” were irradiated with some kind of energy, or dosed with some kind of chemical, many months ago during winter, so as to produce the well-defined set of images which we now see in a field near Tarlton on April 18, 2017?  

This may be similar to the mechanism by which “image ghosts” have been reported for some crop pictures, in the spring or summer following their original year of appearance (see www.margheritacampaniolo.it or  www.abovetopsecret.com).  

The new crop picture near Tarlton on April 18, 2017 resembles another crop picture near Cherhill on April 17, 2017 

This interesting new crop picture, which was found near Tarlton on April 18, is also important for another reason: because it resembles stylistically a much-larger crop picture which appeared near Cherhill on about the same date of April 17 (see cherhill 2017). That Cherhill crop picture was interpreted symbolically as the “swinging pendulum of a clock” (see cherhill articles).  

How exactly does the crop picture near Tarlton on April 18 resemble another crop picture near Cherhill on April 17? We can easily identify two points of close resemblance. First, the “lunar crescent” motif which was drawn in crops at Tarlton seems practically identical to another “lunar crescent” motif which was drawn in crops at Cherhill: 

Also “three long lines”, which may be seen in the landscape just above the crop picture at Tarlton, closely resemble “three long lines” which were drawn in crops at Cherhill, just above its “lunar crescent” motif. These have been marked with three white, dashed lines in the slide below (aerial photograph by Hugh Newman):  

Thus these two crop pictures seem to be closely related to one another, and were made perhaps by the same unseen artist (or group of artists). As a corollary, the Cherhill crop picture could not plausibly have been made using “rope and boards”, because the Tarlton crop picture was made by non-mechanical means.  

What might the new crop picture at Tarlton signify in astronomical terms? 

We can see at Tarlton the image of a “three-quarter-phase lunar crescent”, along with two smaller circles (in standing crop far from tramlines) which might be intended to represent “bright planets” or “stars”. Several possible Moon-planet-star alignments, which seem to match these astronomical features of the crop picture, are shown below:  

In one case, we can see a partial resemblance to the night-sky image of a third-quarter-phase Moon near Jupiter and Spica on April 11, 2017. In another case, we can see a partial resemblance to the night-sky image of a third-quarter-phase Moon near Saturn and a nearby bright star on April 16, 2017. There might also be some resemblance to an image of our Moon near two bright stars Castor and Pollux on May 1, 2017 (see earthsky.org).  

Why was the “lunar crescent” motif at Tarlton drawn with a rotational offset of 30o clockwise, whereas no rotational offset was seen for an identical “lunar crescent” at Cherhill?  

As another interesting question, why was the “lunar crescent” motif at Tarlton drawn with a rotational offset of 30o clockwise, relative to “three long lines” in the landscape just above? That “lunar crescent” motif at Tarlton no longer points toward “three long lines” just above, as it did at Cherhill. Now it points toward a “row of five large trees”, above and to the right, as indicated by a white dashed line in the slide below:                                                                                                                                          

The related crop picture at Cherhill on April 17 showed a symbolic image of a “swinging pendulum” from a “clock”. Might this rotational offset of the “lunar crescent” at Tarlton be meant to suggest some rotational motion of a “pendulum clock”, away from its stationary vertical arrangement?  

We can see that “offset” alignment, between a crop-drawn “lunar crescent” and a row of five large trees, even more clearly in a frame taken from the drone video by Mr. Gyro (see www.youtube.com):  

What are the crop artists trying to tell us at Cherhill or Tarlton in April of 2017?   

Might the “pendulum” image which was drawn in crops at Cherhill be part of some “lunar clock”? And are they trying to suggest a rotational motion or “swinging” of a “lunar pendulum clock” also at Tarlton?  

Why did they draw a “lunar crescent” at Cherhill so that it points toward a nearby “white horse”? And why did they draw a “lunar crescent” at Tarlton so that it points toward a row of five large trees in the neighbouring field?  

Might five “swings” of a “pendulum clock” imply “five monthly cycles of our Moon”, or perhaps a much longer time of “five years”, before some important event takes place?  

“England swings like a pendulum do”  

In any case, the 2017 crop-circle season has begun in a truly spectacular fashion, midway through April, with two paired field images that seem paranormally real, beyond any reasonable doubt.  

Following the appearance of these two new crop pictures, many people are singing an old song from Roger Miller which starts with the phrase “England swings like a pendulum do” (see www.youtube.com), and they are thinking about a famous pendulum for “Big Ben” at the Clock Tower in London (see www.youtube.com).
