Location - Stanton St Bernard, Wiltshire, Reported 16th June 2015, Wheat Crop.
It’s rare to get a formation in Wiltshire these days, in certain areas anyway, as the farmers are cutting out crop circles as soon as they appear. So
it was interesting, and appropriate that this symbol for peace appeared close to Stanton St Bernard. The formation lasted only a few days before the farmer took his tractor inside and mowed out the floor lay. Interestingly it was an almost precise job as there was not much damage to the shape itself.

The peace symbol first appeared, a design conceived by British graphic
artist Gerald Holtom as a symbol for nuclear disarmament. The simple intersection of three lines inside a circle has endured as one of the most recognizable icons in the world and has been associated with a number of peace and social justice movements. Many people have speculated on just what the symbol represents.

Blackhorse Lane nr Margery, Surrey, Reported 16th June 2015, Barley Crop.
When a report came in to us about a formation in Surrey (just south of London) we thought ‘well how are we going to get there’ as it is way outside of our
normal flight area. So after a lot of planning, we managed to fly from another airport closer to the crop circle. The weather was tricky once again, but we managed to get some decent shots of this really cute formation. The design (triangles) is all off to one side, leaving the other part of the formation blank. The formation is tiny at only about 60ft.

The Summer Crop Circle Lectures is the world’s leading crop circle conference. Researchers and
enthusiasts gather together from around the globe each summer to present and share new ideas, experiences and research into this enigmatic phenomenon. Our programme combines top national and international speakers, along with exciting newcomers to provide a broad collection of ideas and thinking on the subject. Above all, the weekend is a celebration of the inspiration and influence these magnificent forms have had on our culture and it is an opportunity to meet new people and network with
like-minded souls. Our conference is firmly centred around the crop circles, but that focus should not be confused with a narrowness of vision. The circles are considered alongside many other related subjects and disciplines, which makes for a stimulating, vibrant and wide-ranging programme.
Our venue has full disabled access and we provide light refreshments on site. We will also have a collection
of trade stands, including all the latest crop circle photographs, films and books for sale. Don’t forget your pen for a signed copy!
We look forward to welcoming you to our event…

Friday Evening Geometry Workshop. Learn about number, proportion and meaning. Step by Step drawing instructions and all equipment provided. Michael Glickman & Karen Alexander will be your guides through the realms of sacred geometry and drawing the crop circle forms.

Together they make a formidable
team! Explore the numbers, ratios and proportions found in the crop circle designs and then try your hand at drawing some crop circle patterns! This fascinating workshop will be a hands-on experience, with plenty of opportunity to try exercises with compass and straight edge - to feel (in your hands) the way the crop circle patterns come together. Don't worry if you are a novice, there will be plenty of help on hand and we will provide all your drawing
equipment! The workshop is to be led by circles researchers Michael Glickman and Karen Alexander who bring their considerable experience in this field to the event.

If you can make a donation,
it would really help us to keep flying to record the crop circles.

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. Here
are a few ways you can help (not all include sales or donations). 1. You can make a donation. Click on the button below to find out more about making a donation. 2. You can help by making purchases from our online shop. Sales of our products help directly finance our work. Many send gifts to friends and loved ones - all sales really do help. 3.
