Altair Deneb and Vega
1) INTRODUCTION
This article takes
a few steps further following Red Collie's article on
the Hackpen Hill(4) crop circle, reported August 14th
(preferably read his article first!):
http://www.cropcircleconnector.com/2013/hackpenhill4/articles.html
Red Collie finds
an interesting link with the Summer Triangle Altair-Deneb-Vega
but he misses the point in the interpretation of the
facts. For years now I am fascinated by crop circles and
I am especially interested in 'where they are' and 'why
they are on that particular spot' or to say their
spatial relationships. That is why I have found much
more interesting and bizarre features which lead me to
the following rather bold statement:
The crop circle
makers have indicated much earlier than August 13th that
Nova Delphini was 'exploding'.
Not the
appearance of Hackpen Hill (4) on August 13th, one day
before Nova Delphini was discovered, but the crop
circle at The Ridgeway of July 6th (39 days before) was
the indication!
Quoting Red
Collie:
“In summary,
unknown crop artists used the local landscape of
Wiltshire as a “canvas”, to draw several astronomical
images at Hackpen Hill: one on July 15, then another on
August 13. Some people believe that all crop pictures
are made by local humans with rope and boards. In which
case, how did those local lads from Wiltshire anticipate
the discovery of Nova Delphini 2013, one day before it
was discovered by any astronomer here on Earth?” The
images that clarify his story.
It is the crop
circle researcher's decision to try to find out if a few
clumps of trees have any connection with stars and/or
crop circles but, as in crop circle research everything
is possible, it's his choice. What strikes me in the
images above is that the corner angles of the 'field
triangle' don't match at all with the corner angles of
the 'star triangle'.
The 'field
triangle' has corners of 37, 52 and 91 degrees, the
'star triangle' has corners of 48, 59 and 73
degrees. This difference is so big that drawing
conclusions or building a theory on it becomes a tricky
business.
Red Collie's
article still intrigued me because this
summer I found a triangle that is more
comparable to the Altair-Deneb- Vega setting.
This is how, in Google Earth, Red Collie's
triangle plus the two Hackpen Hill crop circles
look:
And this is the
triangle I found after copy-and-pasting crop circle
photographs in Google Earth and connecting them. The
numbers 12 and 29 are the circles at Hackpen Hill, 14 is
the one at Hillcott and 16 is Wessex Ridgeway. 09 The
Ridgeway almost lies on the line connecting 12 and 14.
The blue numbers
are the crop circles in my 'archive' and the numbering
is based on their date of appearance. The red lines are
their connections to Sibury Hill. Note the
difference in shape and size of both triangles!
Crop circles 12,
14 and 16 form the frame of the blue triangle:
12 Hackpen
Hill(1) July 15 14 Hilcott July 16
16 Wessex Ridgeway July 24
And these are the
crop circles 09, 29 and 32 which play an important role
in this story
09 The
Ridgeway July 6 29 Hackpen Hill(4) August 13
32 Marden Henge August 23
There are a lot of
interesting features to tell about the spatial
relationships of crop circles
.
This I will
discuss in other articles which will be published on the
website I am building at the moment
fact-and-imagination and which will be online by the
end of February 2014.
Worth mentioning
though in this case is that the blue triangle is an
-almost- isosceles triangle with sides 12-14= 17,4 and
12-16= 16,5 and a base 14-16= 12,3 kilometres. The red triangle
formed by Silbury Hill, 14 and 16 is an -almost-
isosceles triangle as well with
sides
Silbury-14= 10,3, Silbury-16= 10,2 and the base 14-16=
12,3 kilometres. But for now I am
concentrating on what I think about this 'constellation'
of crop circles and I have an opinion, partly thanks to,
but on the most part
different
to Red
Collie's article.
2) A NOVA'S BIRTH
Wikipedia, the free encyclopaedia describes a nova as
follows:
A nova (plural
novae or novas) is a cataclysmic nuclear explosion in a
white dwarf, which causes a sudden brightening of the
star. Novae are not to be confused with other
brightening phenomena such as supernovae or luminous red
novae. A nova is caused by the accretion of hydrogen on
to the surface of the star, which ignites and starts
nuclear fusion in a runaway manner. Novae are thought to
occur on the surface of a white dwarf in a binary
system. If the two stars are close enough, material can
be pulled from the companion star's surface onto the
white dwarf.
It can look
like this: and this is the
process The Ridgeway crop circle:
I can imagine that
an exploding nova can cause 'ripples' of energy in the
surrounding universe like a stone which is thrown in the
water, ripples the surface. Doesn't the
Ridgeway crop circle gives a representation of this
ripple effect?
3) THE SUMMER
TRIANGLE AND THE NOVA
The picture on the
left is the star map of the so called Summer triangle
Altair-Deneb-Vega copy-and-pasted in Google Earth: North
is up. The right is the same picture upside down so it
is more comparable to Red Collie's pictures.
I must admit that
the map does not fit exactly (Deneb and Vega are okay
but Altair is slightly off) but still it has features
which are very interesting and -maybe not yet-
explainable.Let's zoom in on
the map, focusing on Silbury Hill, The Ridgeway crop
circle and the possible nova site:
When I draw a
line from Silbury Hill through the centre of The
Ridgeway crop circle and extend this line through the
landscape I end at the spot of Nova Delphini 2013. This result
astonishes me as much as it will do to you I hope. What is happening
here and how is it possible?
I am convinced
that a great part of the crop circles is made by
people. These 'croppies'
want to suggest that the circles are not being made by
people, so they cleverly encode messages of all kind (esoteric-,
'sacred geometric'-, religious-, Gaya-, human sub
consciousness- and alien-) to confuse the 'mad
researchers'. Let's say that in
this 'Summer Triangle's case' croppies were at work.
They must have
done a lot of planning and organizing and if this is so
they did a brilliant job! But most of all:
how could they have known about the outburst of Nova
Delphini 2013 before it was even discovered more than
one month later? This is simply impossible!!
4) POLYNESIAN
ASTRONOMY
From Wikipedia:
The Summer
Triangle is an astronomical asterism involving an
imaginary triangle drawn on the northern hemisphere's
celestial sphere, with its defining vertices at Altair,
Deneb, and Vega, the brightest stars in the three
constellations of Aquila, Cygnus, and Lyra,
respectively...........
Near midnight the
Summer Triangle lies virtually overhead at mid-northern
latitudes during the summer months, but can also be seen
during spring in the early morning to the East. In the
autumn the summer triangle is visible in the evening to
the West well until November. From the southern
hemisphere it appears upside down and low in the sky
during the winter months.
I decided to take
a look at the sky in Wiltshire on July 6 at midnight so
I started Stellarium (a fantastic free open source
planetarium (http://www.stellarium.org)
and I programmed it on Andover (approximately 35
kilometres south-east of Silbury Hill), 2013-07-06,
00.00.00 hrs. Altair, Deneb and
Vega are at that moment in the south-eastern sky.
Another name, used
in Polynesian astronomy for this triangle is Navigator's
Triangle and the stars of course, have other names:
Altair=Humu, Deneb=Hawaki and Vega=Keoe. This is an
interesting name..........besides for Polynesians maybe
it is a Navigator's Triangle for interstellar travellers
too?
5) FACT AND FACTION
Wikipedia
describes the word faction, amongst a few other
meanings, as
Faction
(literature), a type of historical novel rooted in fact For me the facts
are as mentioned above but what can be the story behind
this? And here I will
give vent to my imagination in a little story before bedtime…..
6) THE SEQUENCE
On a dark night in
July the Crop Circle Makers decided to start working
again. They looked at the
heavens and knew that there was an event coming up in
about 40 days.How could they let
the earthlings know to be prepared to this event? By just doing the
same routine as always: laying down some beautiful
designs with a
message and put the circles together in a configuration
which would not be to difficult for the earthlings to
decode. The first
hint should be a graphical representation of the event:
a ripple in the cosmos.........
Next graph
should be a representation of what was the cause of
this ripple: a nuclear process..
The next
step
should contain
further
explanation: this process is caused by the accretion
of hydrogen on to the surface
of a star, which ignites and starts nuclear
fusion............
And the last step should contain a hint of where to search: a triangle somewhere in the Universe...
The crop circle
makers knew that the earthlings are superficial beings
with a tendency to forget quickly and they suddenly
realised that all these hints came much to early before
the actual event. So they decided to
send a reminder to earth one day before the event as to
say:
Remember what we pointed at a month
ago?..............There is something going to happen not
too far from the
planet where
you live so you are able to see it with the naked
eye............................................................ The event looks
a bit like this crop circle.....................we put
it not to far from an earlier crop circle and it has
connections with circles we showed you earlier and when
you connect these circles by lines you will discover a
pattern.....................so follow the lines and you
will see what we mean!
But still this
message came to early because it was just August 13th,
one day before the event........August 14 came and
the celestial event happened and a few days later it was
published in the media but nobody saw the link with the
Crop Circle Maker's messages.
So in their
goodness the Crop Circle Makers decided to give one last
hint on August 23, 9 days after the discovery of Nova
Delpnini 2013 and putting that hint close to one of the
other circles (Hillcott) to point out: these circles
have a common purpose! The Marden Henge
crop circle can be considered as being divided in six
parts: every 6th part has two segments, one with
standing and one with downed crop, so a total of twelve
segments. As if the Circle
Makers want to say:
This is the sixth crop circle in a row, the former five
circles have a meaning so use your eyes and go searching
for the clue! Extra hint: this one lies at exactly the
same distance from Silbury Hill as the one at Hilcott
(10,3 kilometres).
The earthlings
though still didn't see the link between crop circles
and celestial happenings and they didn't recognize the
'Wilshire Star map'.
They are convinced
that all crop circles are hoaxes made by old men,
drunken youth and people hired by tabloids who want to
make money. They only believe
what they see in the media and only believe what they
can measure. The Crop Circle
Makers were disappointed but hoped for better
times.........
