published on 19 June 2003 THE weekend's warm weather has resulted in a new spate of crop circles in Kennet. Two new formations were reported on Sunday, one at All Cannings, near Devizes, and the other at Ogbourne St George, near Marlborough. The All Cannings formation at Clifford's Hill is a hexagonal design in a circle, with seven smaller circles inside. The location of the Ogbourne design is being kept secret at the request of the farmer. It is a mighty formation of 17 circles in a roughly wheel-shaped design. This year's crop circle season got off to a slow start. There were only three formations reported nationwide, one of them in Wiltshire, in April and May. But June started with a splendid formation appearing in a field at Windmill Hill, near Avebury. The four-sided rope-like design excited crop circle investigators. The Crop Circle Connector website commented: 'This year has seen a slow start compared with other seasons but we have witnessed a design here that wouldn't have been out of place in the middle of July, which is the height of the season.' Crop circle investigator Professor Michael Glickman, from Horton, near Devizes, sees the Windmill Hill formation as an interesting development. He said: 'It links back to the South Field formation in the same area last year. That was also a rope-like formation, but three concentric circles. The squareness could be saying something about material reality. It is a metaphor for the way the world is being transformed from materialism towards spirituality.' Prof Glickman was scathing about the crop circle makers who have been employed to create formations for film and TV companies worldwide. He said: 'On the one hand you have the greatest artistic phenomenon we have ever been blessed with and on the other there are people who turn it into the crassest form of commercial exploitation."
