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.
