In
recent times more and more visitors are drawn to the Avebury area
in summer months hoping to find a crop circle or two.
Avebury is on the edge of an area called the Warmister Triangle. Strange
sounds, celestial lights, crop circles, electromagnetic effects, ghosts,
black dogs, folklore, energy lines, ancient sites, UFO landings, humanoids,
invisible walkers, geophysical strata are all part of this. Crop circles
seems to be the aspect that has most captured the imagination of the
general public.

You
will see crop circles in the area during the summer months only. There
are specialist web sites that track down the latest discoveries.
The area around Avebury has proved a rich hunting ground in recent
years.
Crop circles are patterns created by the flattening of crops, commonly
wheat, barley, and oilseed rape in the Avebury area. The patterns
can be very intricate and seemingly appear from nowhere with no witnesses.
Theories of how they are formed differ wildly, clearly some may be
man-made. Theories stretch across the spectrum and of course there
are some who put forward a connection to UFOs and such like.
More scientific explanations tend to suggest its a natural phenomenon,
perhaps connected with the natural magnetism of the Earth. This would
tend to tie up with the area having a dense grid of natural ley lines
which are magnetic in nature. |
