First crop circle of 2015 reported in the UK.
Image
We have had our first crop circle of 2015 in the UK. It is located at Barbury Hill, near to Barbury Castle an ancient Hill Fort in Wiltshire. The formation was reported on the 9th of April. The crop is very immature oilseed rape. The formation is about 60ft across. Interestingly this event is close to where the Pi formation of 2008 was located. You can see a photograph of this formation by clicking the link below. We will not be flying this formation as funds do not allow us to do so at present.

MAKE A DONATION?

It would be great if all our reqular donaters could make a donation at this moment in time.
Thank you

All our work recording the crop circles is self-financed. The yearly cost of flights over the circles alone runs into many thousands of pounds. A flight costs between £400-£800. The sale of our photographs, Year Books and other items via our online shop helps to offset some of that cost, but with increasing overheads across the board of our activities it is becoming more and more difficult to find the finance we need to record the circles.

If you feel that you would like to make a donation towards our ongoing recording of the crop circles you can make a donation through our online shop. We would gratefully receive anything that you consider appropriate, no matter how small the amount.

Please Support Us! How you Can Help...
Please help us raise money for our flights to record the crop circles in the UK...
 
We have always been committed to providing the best quality crop circle photography anywhere. Not only as a record of the phenomenon as it unfolds, but also as a legacy for future generations.  High quality images are essential for the future and not only will hold more information, but will also show the magnificence of the crop circles in the landscape and hopefully record the majesty and beauty of the circles for generations who were not there to witness them first hand.
 
The cost of obtaining our high quality images each year is huge (running in to thousands of pounds). We hire a small helicopter and use high-end digital SLRs to record the images. While it is true that there are cheaper methods for photographing the circles, there is a more damaging cost to the quality of pictures possible using there methods (drones etc.) where using expensive digital cameras would not be practical or possible.
 
Because of our commitment to quality and our awareness of costs, we regularly review our practices and at the moment (as of 2015) we remain convinced that our current operating methods allow us to get the best images possible.
 
It is through the sales of our year books, photos and other merchandise that meeting the cost of our photography possible.
 
We also reply on our donors who very kindly help top up our flight fund each year.
 
We never take any of our supporters for granted and are constantly humbled and amazed at their generosity. Every sale and every donation, no matter how humble counts, and helps us continue to record this beautiful phenomenon.
