Newest Crop Circle Appears near the Uffington White Horse

Only 5 crop circles have appeared this May in the UK, the latest a simple circle with several smaller circles inside it appeared on May 19th. The newest crop circle appeared near the famous and well known Bronze Age Uffington White Horse hillside in a field of oilseed rape in Oxfordshire. The meaning of the circles is not clear at this time.

Newest Crop Circle Appears near the Uffington White Horse

Only a few miles east of Swindon, the formation is one of only five to be reported in the United Kingdom this year, presumably because of the unseasonally cold and damp weather.
It was first reported on Saturday close to the busy B4507 which runs along the escarpment parallel to the Ridgway and the White Horse itself, which means it must have been discovered soon after its creation.
Matthew Williams took these photographs while flying over the area in his microlight on Sunday. The relatively simple formation is composed of a wide circular band with a large central circle and four smaller ones in the area between.

Here is some of the information about the Uffington White Horse from Wikipedia.

The Uffington White Horse is a highly stylized prehistoric hill figure, 110 m long (374 feet), formed from deep trenches filled with crushed white chalk…..Best views of the figure are obtained from the air, or from directly across the Vale, particularly around the villages of Great Coxwell, Longcot and Fernham. The site is owned and managed by the National Trust….. The figure has been shown to date back some 3,000 years, to the Bronze Age, by means of optically stimulated luminescence dating carried out following archaeological investigations in 1994. These studies produced three dates ranging between 1400 and 600 BC. Iron Age coins that bear a representation comparable to the Uffington White Horse have been found, supporting the early dating of this artifact; counter suggestions that the figure was fashioned in the Anglo-Saxon period now seem untenable.

It seems that there have been some kind of intelligence that makes these figures, ( best viewed from the air) for a long time – at least since the Bronze Age (approximately 3,000 years). Will we ever discover what force makes these patterns? I believe we will indeed find out within the next 25 years.
