NEXT TIME: We will have news of the new 2011 formations to be included in our collection of large 10 x 15 photo prints. There will also be a discount code for our subscribers wanting to be the first to get their hands on these brand new items.
Don't Forget...
We still urgently need to sustain our flight funds to continue to cover any more circle that may occur in the 2011 season and to help pay off our outstanding helicopter invoices.
Any donations you can make would still 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.

The Grand Finale?...
No sooner had we landed after flying the last circles at Cooks Plantation and Knoll Down, than we heard there was another circle out there. Once again information was too slow getting around and instead of being able to pick all the circles up on one flight, we found ourselves having to take an extra flight to cover this circle. We also worried, as reports suggested the farmer was eager to cut the circle out before he got too many visitors to his field. But the circle, as of this weekend, has still not been cut. I report this with some trepidation, but it's a sad waste of finite resources when this happens, and that concern should be something that should transcend any agenda. Our flights cost just over £500 per hour, this extra flight added another £520.00 worth of burden to our already expensive season.
However, the circle was certainly worth the effort. I find it
difficult to believe that anyone looking at this stunning circle can
fail to be amazed and impressed, by it's sheer scale, complexity and raw
ambition. The way in which several layers of geometry are brought
together in one design is simply awe-inspiring.The
marriage of five and ten features, with the five crescents around the
perimeter and the decagon in the centre. However, it is the centre
'web-like' structure which is of incredible importance as it is
PENTERACT - in other words - a five-dimensional cube. This is the first
time we have had a fifth dimensional shape or object depicted in a crop
circle design. It is hugely exciting. 2010 saw the first forays into the
fourth dimension, but already, just one year on we have jumped yet
another dimension. There are several ways of depicting a
five-dimensional cube, the one used here is an orthogonal projection. It
is the shadows that would be cast by a fifth dimensional cube into our
three dimensional reality. Amazing?!
