Hi everyone,
Here is the third of a number of catch up emails bringing you up to date with new crop circles appearing on the last couple of weeks.
Sorry it's been a while since you last heard from us. We have been busy capturing the latest formations and, of course, we held our annual conference recently.
Our blog will be back on line shortly, with some more thoughts on some of the events and formations of the summer. There's much to muse and discuss!
Urgent...
We urgently need to bolster our flight fund which has been much depleted of late - with so many formations to cover! Any donations you can make would be very much appreciated. We have our brand new 2012 calendar for sale right now and sales of these will very much help fund our continued flying. We have had lots of really good feedback about the new calendar with many of you liking the new calendar grid layout. They make a great gift and are a good way of introducing the crop circles to friends, family and colleagues. At just £9.99 each they are a steal! Scroll down for more calendar information and details of how to order.
You can also make a donation on our website from as little as £5.00 and you can also donate using your PayPal account.

A Very Controversial Circle...
On July the 27th at a crop circle meeting held in the heart of Wiltshire a brief glimpse of an amazing circle was shown to the assembled crowd. However, no location or any other details were revealed about the circle, it seemed a veil of secrecy had been thrown entirely over this formation.
In the following days many rumours abounded about the formation. No images were published on the internet and the secrecy surrounding the formation seemed to be spreading to many of the usual circle reporting websites.
Despite such secrecy, we flew the formation on the 3rd of August. We had found the location mentioned on one of the circle websites, hidden away in a chat room. We published the pictures on our Facebook page shortly afterwards, to great consternation. One researcher rang us at 1am in the morning to discuss the situation with us, telling us that we should not publish the pictures.
I'm pleased to say this situation has now been sorted. It seems that the secrecy surrounding the circle was largely a misunderstanding. Two researchers had been caught inside the circle without the permission of the farmer, who subsequently called the police. The farmer had expressed a preference that the circle's location should not be widely reported. But it seems there was no real need for the pictures to be withheld.
Normally in such situations the pictures are shown and sometimes the location is also given, but the farmers wishes for the formation not to be visited are posted on the internet. It seems the two trespassing researchers were a little jumpy after their encounter with the police and so the location of the circle along with the pictures had been withheld. The situation seems to have been further complicated by the fact that the circle was located in the airspace of Birmingham International airport.
However, all the elaborate conspiracy theories surrounding this circle can now be be dismissed and the pictures of the formation can now be shown freely. The formation has now been harvested, so the farmer does not need to worry about hoards of visitors.
It's a beautiful circle, one of the best of the 2011 season! Eight-fold geometry underpins the design, reminiscent of a circular church window.
We had to take a very long and expensive flight to cover this particular formation, so if anyone can help with a donation to our flight fund we would really appreciate it.We hope you will agree with us that it was worth the effort!
More pictures of this formation will available to browse on our online Image Library shortly... Click on any of the images to visit.
