A piece of pi

This crop circle from Barbury Castle (1 June 2008) represents the first ten digits of Pi: 3.141592654 and was in much of the British press.  It was an astrophysicist who made the connection.  I wonder if he made this connection too?

It was cited as being a masterpiece because multiples of the same angle (36 degrees) were used.  I wondered why 36 degrees.  After all, the artist could have used other numbers just as well like 18 and 72 (half and double).

Note the tramline running across the centre.  It intersects with the numbers 5, 6, 9 and 4 on one side and 5, 9, 6 and 4 on the other.  Both sides add to 24 (as in hours in a day) which made me wonder if it signified a date.

It does, so it seems.

The star chart is of 28 November 2012 at 23:11 at 53N 0 32W.  The "ratchets" align with the planets, moon and sun.  The "decimal point" aligns perfectly with the Winter solstice.  The yellow tramline aligns perfectly with the horizon.  The "path" (in pink) aligns with Neptune and also intersects with the 33rd "segment" (of which there are 40) of 36 degree angles.  28 November has 33 days after it to the end of the year.

The circle was reported as being 150 metres or 494 feet in diameter.  That makes a radius of 247 feet.  The sun's ecliptic coordinates on this day at this time are 247 degrees 8 minutes, 0 degrees.  The sun is at 247 degrees only one day a year.  This year it is 28 November.

The circles measured 516 inches (centre), 416 inches, 320 inches and 200 inches in diameter.  

516 inches is exactly 43 feet.  That makes a radius of 21.5 feet; the declination of the sun at 23:11 on 28 November 2012 is exactly -21 degrees 30 minutes.

416 inches is 34.67 feet.  That gives a radius of 17.33 feet.  At 23:11 the azimuth of the sun will be -17 degrees 20 minutes.

320 inches is 26.67 feet or a radius of 13.33 feet.  The altitude of the sun at sunset on 28 November 2012 at 1551 GMT is 13 minutes 20 seconds.

200 inches is 16.67 feet or a radius of 8.33 feet.  At 16:43:48 the altitude of the sun will be -8 degrees 20 seconds.  This is exactly the same time as I mentioned in a previous post with another crop circle which had the declination of sun at 21 degrees 27 minutes:

If we add these to the diagram we have the following:

Look at the three circles on the outer edge.  The number 6 starts where Venus is and attaches itself to the third circle (marked "Solar Event") if counting from the largest downwards.  As we saw in a previous post, the estimated time of the event is six hours after Venus.  This ties in with that.

It certainly isn't as easy as pi to swallow...

Pinpointing the place?

To date all references have been to 53N 0 32/33W.  This formation on 2 June 2012 seems to qualify that and offer a more accurate location.  Rounding to the nearest degree and minute would give us the numbers we have been working with already.

The date seems to corroborate: 2/6/12.  2x3=6, 6x2=12 giving the 32.  If we represent 2 and 6 on a clock they become 10 minutes and 30 minutes.  Add these together and to the 12 gives 52.  The 10 and the 30 give the 40' as well.  That is convenient.  But if we represent the 12 as 60 then that makes a total of 100 minutes.  52°40'45" + 100 minutes is 54°0'45".  That is way off the mark.

If one adds 52+45+40+0+32+10 the result is 179.  2 June 2012 + 179 days is 28 November 2012.  That fits.

All that said, this crop formation makes me uneasy as to date it has been quite clear that 53N and 0 32/33W are the coordinates.  Perhaps it was for ease as they lend themselves more to geometric shapes and only at the last minute do we get precise coordinates.  The date is 2/6/12: 12 is 6+6... That's three 6s, which isn't a good sign.

Another formation from this year seems to explain the difference in coordinates:

If the tramlines represent one degree, then each circle represents 10 minutes.  The upwards tentacles span exactly a tramline width.  Each tentacle downwards represents a minute because 1/60 as a percentage is 1.67.  The lower tentacles stretch across one tramline and then two thirds of a tramline.  This image appears to represent 33 minutes.  The lower ‘diamond’ is amongst the tentacles west of the other: 33 minutes west.

So, that seems to reconcile the difference in the coordinates: there are actually two safety zones, it seems, or one safety zone and these are the extremities.  Personally I prefer the latter.

Connecting with the past

This crop formation seems to connect both 28 November 1969 with the same date in 2012.  We saw the upper part in an earlier post pointing to the latter.

The arc of planets on 28 November 1969 matches identically with the arc of markings in the lower circle.  The inner planets are also mentioned as are the position of the sun and moon.

Here is another 1969 formation:

And finally, just to throw in some obscurity, this is Stonehenge, which is over 3000 years old (hence the connecting with the past reference), appearing to map to 28 November 2012:

Could Stonehenge have been the first "circle" to warn of what might happen on 28 November?  It would certainly defy what we are told about our ancestors because it appears to make reference to Uranus and Neptune which were not discovered then.  That said, there are apparently Sumerian texts which describe the Solar System in its entirety, so it is possible that our ancestors predicted an eruption on the sun and left Stonehenge as a warning.  Since then the knowledge has been lost.  Or it was built by the crop circle artists.
(Of course, it could just be coincidental, but if so what are the chances?)

Timings

Here is another formation that seems to deal in timings and the event.  Firstly the numbers add to 28 if I have interpreted them correctly.  The positions of the circles certainly match up with the planets on that date.

If there is an explosion on the sun, then this implies that Venus will be impacted after an hour, the Earth after six and Mars after 18.  This ties in with our previous "Event Timetable" formation.

This formation also contains the date and timings, but more subtly:

The triangle in the centre is made of three figure "7"s telling us it is a date/time formation.  There are three triangles including the space in the centre, each with three sides: 3-3-3, the 333rd day of the year.  

The shape is not uniform, despite its appearance.  Where 11pm and 12am are marked, the scrolling squares are actually slightly bigger so that 11 rather than 12 touches the triangle point.  We can then apply sunrise and sunset on 28 November 2012 which is at 0800 GMT and 1600 GMT give or take a couple of minutes.

Note also that the tramlines intersect the inner circle at 2, 8, 11 and 12: 28/11/12.  The line joining 12pm and 11pm also represents 2300 as 12+11=23.

The uppermost tramline runs through 3pm to 8pm with the midway between 5 and 6pm.  This coincides with the other circles which suggest an event on the sun around this time.

Finally look at the tramlines as they cross the central triangles. The lowest makes an "=" or a pair of "-", representing "2".  The upper makes "= = = =" which represents "8": 28, our date.

Again, it all seems to fit perfectly.  Alarmingly so.



Let's take a look at a formation from this year.  It was one of the last:

It shares the same "safety zone" icon that we saw previously.  So, if we take that to also represent the lunar eclipse on the 28th we can position the circle so that it is more representative of Earth and reflects what is happening in the sky as well.

Opposite the lunar eclipse and the Moon/Jupiter conjunction is the Mars/Pluto pairing.  In the Northern Hemisphere at 2300 GMT it has set along with the Sun.  In the Southern Hemisphere, however, it is high in the sky, with the Sun.

It is here that the object on the bottom right is heading towards.

It makes sense re the position of the safety zone and explains why there would be one, it seems.

Connecting with the past

On 23 July 1991 a farmer in Grasdorf, Germany awoke to find one of the largest crop circles in his field.  A few days later a visitor discovered three plates beneath it, one in bronze, one in silver and one in gold.  They bore the insignia of the crop formation.

It so happens that this crop formation is of the planets on 28 November 1969.  It appears the artists have created a kind of cross-reference to the same date in 2012.

The bronze plate had indents in it which have been interpreted as being of stars.  Close.  They appear to be of the planets on a certain date.  Which date?  You guessed it: 28 November 2012.

There are other formations which tie into 28 November 1969 that I have come across.  Here are a few:

This formation, like Grasdorf, seems to connect the two dates:

The mark inside what appears to be Saturn represents 1.5.  An orbit of Saturn is 30 years, give or take, so this is around 45 years later.  (From 1969 to 2012 is 43 years for those who don't like counting.)
(Where I've used the word "static", it is relative to its previous position on 28 November 1969.)

Again, this formation seems to bridge the two dates.  Above we see the "alignment" of the five planets south of the Sun and the renegade Neptune which doesn't form part of any formation.

Below: joining like with unlike maps to the sky for 28 November 2012.

The event

There are a number of crop formations which suggest an event on the sun impacting with the Earth:

This suggests to me that the sun will emit a coronal mass and that six hours after it has done so the matter will hit the Earth, the third planet.

The above seems to show the same thing with the mass appearing to come from the direction of Venus downwards towards the Southern constellations; ie the Southern part of the planet.

In the top image to the right which we looked at in more detail, Neptune appears to be setting when the event happens.  Neptune sets at 2239 GMT on 28 November 2012.  This is pretty close to the 2300 GMT I mentioned in an earlier posting.  Sunset is at 1600 GMT meaning that an explosion of the sun, if it is to take 6 hour to reach the Earth will be at 1700 GMT.

This ties in with the following illustration.  

If one thinks of the rings inside as being a 12 hour clock, the sunset is at 4pm, the explosion on the sun at 5pm and impact at 11pm, 20 minutes after Neptune has set.  The six pointed star represents 60 minutes and 6 hours from explosion to impact.  The triangle and the three markings at 4, 8 and 12 represent 333, the 333rd day of the year, 28 November 2012.

More place circles

When I first saw this circle it reminded me of the UK.  It turns out it is probably only part of the UK: Lincolnshire, to be precise, judging from the way the circles are arranged.  Again we have the co-ordinates 52N 0 32W, it would seem.

The following formation is a part of a bigger one which we will look at later.

Again, it is reminiscent of a map of the UK.  And of course, it was formed on British soil, so there's no reason to discount the possibility.
From the meridian to the Welsh coast is 5 degrees.  The formation is divided into 5.  The fifth rectangle on the right is greener than the others and appears to have a thicker border.  This is where 53N 0 32W would be if the line along the top of the "squares" is the 53rd parallel. It certainly seems to tie in with a map of the UK.

Finally a more "fun" one.

More date circles

Here is another crop circle that appears to show the date 28 November 2012.  The outer edge is in binary with the numbers 101, 100 and 111: 5, 4 and 7.  7+4=11,7x4=28, 5x4=20, 7+5=12, giving 28/11/2012.  The numbers for 28 and 11 are also present: 28 is 11100 and 11 is 1011, marked in yellow and blue in the above diagram.

There are three lines and on either side three triangles making 333.  The 28th is the 333rd day of the year.  Just looking at the triangles gives 3-3-3 3-3: again a reference to the number of days past and the number of days until the end of the year, 333 and 33.

On 28 November 2012 there are three pairings: the moon and Jupiter, Saturn and Venus and Pluto with Mars.  These circles seem to match those pairings.

This formation also suggests a date.  There are seven (=week) elements to each “spoke”.  Counting from the outer edge, there are pairs of the third, fourth and fifth: 3x2 + 4x2 + 5x2 = 24 (=hours in a day).  It appears to be a time formation.
The sixth elements are joined as three pairs.  3(6+6) = 36.  Adding to this the element in the centre gives 37.  There are four joined elements in the centre and five circles, adding to 9.  9x37 = 333, the 333rd day of the year: 28 November 2012.

Snakes and things

Here is another 28 November 2012 graphic.  The circle was formed in August this year.

Magic numbers

So far I have assumed that the artists of the crop formations are aware of our calendar and our time/date systems.  Here is the supporting evidence.

This crop circle was created on 8 August 2008, that's 8/8/8.  And it is in the shape of an "8".

There are 14 "teardrops" in each half totaling 28.  There are eleven circles in the central connector.  When the teardrops end on one side there are seven circles, indicating a date (as there are seven days in a week) and eight on the other, confirming that this is a number 8 and not a symbol for infinity.

There are 54 circles in total which is 2x3x3x3: 28 November 2012 is the 333rd day of the year.  This is also a kind of numerical joke: the figure "3" is "half" of the figure "8", so 2x333 is 888, the date on which the crop was formed.

If we replace the multiplication sign with a plus, we get 2+3+3+3, which is of course, 11, for November.  We can also make 53 and 33, tying in with the coordinates I have mentioned in previous posts: that was 53N 0 32W.  53N 0 33W has also appeared in other circles.  The difference between the two is nominal and but a few hundred metres.

Here is an example:

There are 33 inner circles and 22 outer ones.  Towards the centre next to the larger circle are six smaller ones.  That suggested to me that each is 10 seconds.  6x10 seconds is a minute.  Each circle surrounding the central larger one represents a minute and the tramlines  represent 10 minutes.

That ties in with the central circle representing 33 minutes.

There are four circles on the outside edge which tie in with a map of the UK at 53 degrees North.  It is about 40 minutes to the Norfolk coastline from 53N 0W.  This way up the crop circle represents to me 33 minutes West.

If we turn the formation through 90 degrees we get:

If my hunch is right, this could be the safest place on the planet come 28 November.

No small feat

The Silbury Hill crop formation of August 2004 hit the papers, predicting doomsday. 

It depicts the opening of the underworld in Maya mythology according to sources.  It also resembles a coronal mass ejection from the sun.

It too fits the pattern I've started building.  Here's how.

The first thing I noticed was a deviation from the pattern around the edge.  This seemed to flag that quadrant as different to the rest.  Leap years come in fours, and 2012 is a leap year.  The deviation is most likely February with its 29 days.  As there are twelve segments and four "blanks" in each quadrant, these then tie in with the months of the year.

If one starts on the outer ring with January then the deviation of February, that takes us to April.  We then have June and July represented by the groups of six marks.  Working round takes us to November and December at the end. The symmetry of the calendar seems to hold with the summer and winter solstice in June and December respectively at opposite ends to each other.

In the same quadrant are the "feathers of flame" with a noticeable break on the outer edge which points.  This leads to the end of November/start of December.

See how the "feathers of flame" stop short at what could be classified as "53".  This ties in with our coordinates of 53N 0 32W.

Where the line is, is where 28 November would be.  The six marks for December are written as 3 then 3.  After 28 November 2012 there are 33 days left in the year.

This is all very well and not conclusive, methinks.  So how about this:  if we draw lines through the "breaks" in the feathers of flame and extend them to the outer edge we get the following:

The lines intersect exactly where the sun, moon and planets are on 28 November 2012 just after sunset.  (We get Neptune courtesy of the tramline.)

Whoever is creating these masterpieces is putting in a lot of effort and ensuring that one can cross-check and verify one's findings, it seems.

They certainly are no small feat (and decoding them isn't easy either).

Turning things on their head

This crop circle from Italy seems to promote Einstein's equation E=MC^2 or E=MC to the power of 2.  Turn that on its head and you have 2^CM=E: Two powerful CM (coronal masses) = E (Earth).

A little bit of thought

As I've shown, these crop circles need some thought.  They might be pretty, but they appear to be designed to require some time and effort.  Some require more than others.

This is a great example.  It's from Poirino in Italy. 

People were quick to notice that there was a binary code spelling out "Enki <space> Ea".  Enki Ea was a Babylonian lord or god depending on where you look it up.  It was the space that got me thinking.  Capital letters are used so they would serve to identify the start and end of the words.  Why force a space in there?

There is a way to connect the two words.  That is using the letters R, T and H to make two words: Earth and Thinker.  "Earth Thinker": that seems appropriate, doesn't it?  Is that the end of it?  I don't think so.

The letters in the word "Earth" have numerical values of 5, 1, 18, 20 and 8.  5+1+18 is 24, as in 24 hours in a day.  20+8 is 28, our date in November.  24+28 is 52.  As we saw in the Mayan head dress, 52 was connected with weeks of the year.  So, that suggests the word "Thinker" has a deeper meaning and is connected with time.

"Thinker" is 20, 8, 9, 14, 11, 5 and 18.  20+8 is 28, our date again.  9+14 is 23.  It is also the word "In".  11 could represent November.  5+18 is 23 again.

So, we can read it as: "The 28th day IN the 11th month at 23 hours".

The seven-point star ties in with sunset at 1600 hours: 2300 is seven hours later.

I looked up the sky chart for that time and date at 53N 0 32W, the coordinates I identified in an earlier post.  The "constellations" in the crop circle appear to map to the constellations Ursa Major, Draco, Cygnus and Pegasus which run following the horizon. This is in keeping with the "petals" around the edge of crop circle .  The moon is also picked out, lending a hand to getting the formation up the right way to match the stars.

It seems this is another crop formation identifying a time and a place on a number of levels, doesn't it?

To summarise, what this crop formation suggests to me is that on 28 November 2012 at 11pm GMT we are being advised to be in a place where all four constellations Ursa Major, Draco, Cygnus and Pegasus are relatively close to the horizon with the moon above them.  53N 0 32W fits the bill, it seems.


Food for thought, eh?

Waxing calendrical

The Mayan calendar of 9 August 2005 is probably one of the more well-known circles having been in the media.  There have been many guesses at what it refers to.  Here is my take: it represents again 28 November 2012.

(Bear in mind that in 2005 when the circle was formed, it was not a leap year so 332 was accurate at that point in time.)

On 28 November this year sunset at 53N 0 32W is at 1552 and sunrise at 0749, almost exactly 16 hours as represented by the 16 "feathers" on the left of centre.  If you think of the calendar as a clock-face then the opening in the crescent is pointing to around 4pm.  Then there are the numbers 21 27 14 and 21.  What could they refer to?

On 28 November the declination of the sun at 1636 is -21 degrees 27 minutes and 14 seconds.  At 1651, one hour after sunset it is -21 degrees 27 minutes and 21.14 seconds.

(Now, the declination of the sun changes very slowly through the year and like a 12 hour clock the same "time" happens only twice in a year, once in the positive and once in the negative. Therefore the chances of these numbers all coming together coincidentally is quite unlikely.)

To prove the point, I placed the circle on a star map.

The tramlines run directly into "planets".  The "breach" or hole at around 10 o'clock points directly to Uranus.  The crescent is open towards where the sun is.

It all seems to fit, doesn't it?

Places and dates

It was this formation that got me interested in crop circles and trying to understand them.  It seems to have a dual purpose: it seems to give space-time coordinates.
Firstly the time: 28 November 2012 if the "blobs" represent an alignment on that day.

That didn't seem to be the whole picture, though.  The circles at the bottom hadn't been taken into consideration.

It took a while to "lock" it in.  The squares just didn't seem to fit and obviously needed to be included in any calculations as well.  The "blob" which has been called an unidentified object by many needed to also play its part.

Eventually it clicked, once I remembered that it was a UK crop circle and that if it contained a location, it was likely to be on British soil.

The UK starts at around 50 degrees North, which is a line in the Channel.  The vertical circles start with "5", which suggested 50 to me.  We are looking at a latitude and longitude, I thought.  It didn't seem such a bad idea to put it in the context of a map.

I'll leave you to work out how it fits together.  But, as you see, it looks like 53 N 0 32 W is the answer, just as in my last post with the crop formation forming numbers.  

Here's another crop circle and map...

Now why would anyone want to highlight somewhere in the middle of nowhere unless something significant were going to happen?

Here is another "date" formation: 28 November 2012, again.

Survival of the fittest?

"If you were an alien and you knew that the planet you were watching was about to be destroyed (except for the smallest part) and you couldn't save all the inhabitants, what would you do?"

It is an interesting problem and I think the crop circles play a part in the answer.

What if, say, there were to be a coronal mass ejection from the sun on the night of 28 November (UTC) which will engulf the planet except for a tiny part measuring no more than 350 square miles?  It would be directly opposite the impact point and protected by the curvature of the planet.

It would be altruistic to save as many as possible, but that small area can only only support a limited number of people.  Who do you choose?  Answer: you don't.  You let them choose themselves.  Those who are intelligent and inquisitive will connect the crop circles, resolve the puzzle and move to the safe location indicated.  The fittest would survive.

I have an inkling that this is what has happened.  Over 50 formations I have studied suggest 28 November 2012, 53 N 0 32 W as space-time coordinates.  It was the following graphic that suggested to me what the implication could be.  It is the "Mayan Head Dress" of Wiltshire.

This is what would happen theoretically if there were a coronal mass ejection (CME) from the sun towards the Earth.  A small proportion of the planet might be exempt from the solar material.

It would seem that the artist thinks that there would be such a "safe zone".

How come 28 November 2012?  Here are my thoughts:


If the “feathers” in the head-dress are a binary code, the numbers stack up thus:
10 = 2 
100 = 4 
10 = 2 
100 = 4 
1010 = 10 
10000 = 16 
110100 = 52 (weeks in a year) 
110100 = 52 (weeks in a year) 
10000 = 16  
100 = 4 
100 = 4 
100 = 4 
100 = 4 
10 = 2

This totals 176.

These can be regarded as weeks as there are seven smaller feathers at the top of the formation.

The circle was reported 5 July 2009.  5 July 2009 + 176 weeks = 18 November 2012.

There are then ten segments apparently representing days or Maya time periods taking us to… 28 November 2012.

28 November 2012 is the 333rd day of the year, with 33 days remaining.  The three “dots” before the segments could represent 33 days to the end of the year.  On that day there is the second lunar eclipse of the year.  It is a penumbral type.  You can see that an eclipse of some type appears to be happening at the time by the crescent shapes.

There are three pairings of 'planets' that night also: Saturn with Venus, Jupiter with the Moon and Pluto with Mars.

There are seven smaller feathers on each side and 14 big ones.  14+7+7 = 28 (for 28 November), coincidentally?

There are a number of other crop formations that suggest the same thing.  I'll include them in my next posting.

In the meantime, start to check yourself for connections with 28 November 2012 and the coordinates I mentioned.

Here is an obvious example:

All the best.
