Close Encounter In Surrey.

The Reigate Alien. 
When ever we get a crop circle which depicts an alien face, a lot of people's memories are taken back to the sublime formation that appeared close to Winchester, at Sparsholt in 2002. Although some formations that show the Grey Alien are not taken seriously as they can seem almost cartoonish, the Reigate Alien in my opinion deserves more respect. It is a quite impressive formation, and will no doubt split opinion, as well as cause some debate.

Alien In The Landscape.

There have been several depictions of the iconic ‘Alien Face’ in crop circles over the years, the most famous perhaps being the huge ‘Alien Face and Disc’ at Crabwood in Hampshire back in 2002. Whatever the alien is that seems to haunt our psyche it does seem that it is somehow connected in part with the crop circles. The classic alien face seems to be a major archetype of modern times, and therefore perhaps it would be a mistake to interpret it too literally as we have done with many stories about non-human visitors for many years. Perhaps if the alien archetype means anything it is the existence of a genuine unknown at the heart of our reality, that we have had periodic contact with over thousands as years, and interpreted as Gods in the past and as ETs in the present. However, I suspect both these interpretations are in fact cultural filters and what truly lies behind them is yet to be discovered.

We really, really need your help and support to raise funds to fly the crop circles this season. 2016 is our toughest season yet and without urgent support we will be unable to continue.

Like all those who provide information and artworks via the web, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find the funding we need to continue to generate the images and information. We realise these are difficult times and that some think that materials on the internet should be for free, or simply think that everyone else is doing the supporting. But we are asking each and everyone of you that enjoys the coverage of the crop circles we provide to dig deep and support us. Thank you.
Simplicity at Devizes.

Wessex Ridgeway, nr Devizes, Wiltshire, 16th july 2016, Barley.

This is another of a series of simple circles and ringed circles that have appeared this season. There is always something elegant about being this kind of design on a field and as I’ve remarked before reminds us of the origins of the phenomenon. There must be something very important to contemplate about unity, compass-ion and wholeness that the circle-makers continue to remind us every year to do so. Karen Alexander.
