Fulley Wood, nr. Tichborne, Hants.
(nr Rodfield Lane)
Detail: This circle was reported on the 16th of July 2019 and was in a field of ripening wheat. It measured approximately 200ft in diameter.
There have been circles in this area of Hampshire for many years. The last one being on the 24th June 2016. Tichborne is close to New Alresford, Cheriton and Headbourne Worthy – all previous crop circle sites. This entire area of Hampshire has a rich and longstanding relationship with the crop circle phenomenon.
The main part of the design of this crop circle is hexagonal – a large hexagonal shape sits within a standing ring of crop. However, there can be little doubt that it intends to convey a 3 x 3 (3-D) cube.
Each of the cube faces (that we can see) are divided diagonally to create two triangles on each face, one standing, one flattened. There are 27 cubes in this design. We can only see 21, the other six are implied – as they face away from us. We can see 54 triangles – 27 standing – 27 flattened. There are 18 on each face (9 standing, 9 flattened)
A cube has 6 faces in total 6 x 18 = 108 – so we would see a total of 108 triangles if we could see all the faces.
If you’re having difficulty imagining this, think of the Rubik’s Cube, the ubiquitous puzzle toy of the 1980s – the cube count is exactly the same.
