Most complex crop circle ever discovered in British fields

[Lisa]

The circle is a coded representation of pi to the 10th significant figure
The formation, measuring 150ft in diameter, is apparently a coded image representing the first 10 digits, 3.141592654, of pi.


It is has appeared in a field near Barbury Castle, an iron-age hill fort above Wroughton, Wilts, and has been described by astrophysicists as "mind-boggling".
Michael Reed, an astrophysicist, said: "The tenth digit has even been correctly rounded up. The little dot near the centre is the decimal point.



"The code is based on 10 angular segments with the radial jumps being the indicator of each segment.
"Starting at the centre and counting the number of one-tenth segments in each section contained by the change in radius clearly shows the values of the first 10 digits in the value of pi."
Lucy Pringle, a researcher of crop formations, said: "This is an astounding development - it is a seminal event."
Mathematics codes and geometric patterns have long been an important factor in crop circle formations. One of the best known formations showed the image of a highly complex set of shapes known as The Julia Set, 12 years ago.

ALIENS!!!!!

*runs*

What I want to know is how people really do believe it is Aliens!! If their were Aliens why on earth would they want to leave circles in fields!!!

the 2 old guys who used to make them used to use a bit of string, a couple of pieces of wood , a ploughmans lunch and a couple of bottles of stout, with gps and other technological gadgetry it wouldnt be that hard to plot any shape and transfer it into someones livelyhood/field.
i'm not saying i could do it like but i'd love to do a large kopites are gobshites on the fields bordering john lennon airport, gps a remote controlled vehicle of some discription or just a quad bike with some sort of contraption on the back to spray it onto a field or something.

not geometrically precise in the way that pi is but inventive all the same, anyway now that pi has been done who's gonna create the worlds first "CROP PASTY"

Why would aliens use a lawn mower?

Why would aliens use a lawn mower?

cos its a lot less bovver with a hover

Why would aliens use a lawn mower?

Because lawnmowers are the only way to fly mo!

thats a qualcastity post that is.

As long as the uphill gardeners don't jump on the bandwagon. I wouldn't want my brown crop circle being all black and deckered.


(I liked the hoe hoe hoe bit also Sir Santa of Claus)

but the designs would be much prettier
imagine it .....rimmers with strimmers
