Reconstruction of the 2017 Woolstone Hill formation | ||
1. | Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | |
2. | Copy circle 1 to its righthand intersection with the horizontal centerline. Move this circle (copy and delete original) to its own corresponding intersection. | |
3. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the center of circle 2. | |
4. | Construct the inscribed hexagon (regular six-sided polygon) of circle 3, pointing to the right. | |
5. | Copy circle 1 five times, to the other angular points of hexagon 4. | |
6. | Copy circle 1 to the righthand intersection of circle 2 and the horizontal centerline. Move this circle to its own corresponding intersection. | |
7. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the center of circle 6. | |
8. | Construct the inscribed hexagon of circle 7, pointing to the right. | |
9. | Copy circle 1 five times, to the other angular points of hexagon 8. | |
10. | Construct a line tangent to the upper two circles 9, at the upper sides. | |
11. | Copy circle 1 to the intersection of line 10 and the vertical centerline. Move this circle to its own upper intersection with the vertical centerline. | |
12. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the center of circle 11. | |
13. | Construct the inscribed hexagon of circle 12, pointing up. | |
14. | Copy circle 1 five times, to the other angular points of hexagon 13. | |
15. | Construct a circle, passing through the intersections (tangent points) of circles 1, and 2, and upper righthand circle 5. | |
16. | Copy circle 15 to the center of circle 1. | |
17. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 2, tangent to circle 16 at the righthand side. | |
18. | Copy circle 17 eleven times, to the centers of circles 5, 11, and 14. | |
19. | Copy circle 15 six times, to the centers of circles 6 and 9. | |
20. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 11 at the upper side. | |
21. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to uppermost circle 18 at the upper side. | |
22. | Circles 2, 5, 6, 9, 11, 14, 17, 18, 19, 20, and 21, are used for the final reconstruction. | |
23. | Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. | |
24. | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... | |
25. | ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the 2017 Woolstone Hill formation. | |
26. | The final result, matched with two aerial images. |
