Well, in 1996 we had quite a few formations but a lot of people are saying
that bird-damaged circles are the genuine phenomenon. Very early in the year
we were notified of a marking in a field along the Everleigh-Upavon road
from Ludgershall, which was on Ministry of Defence land and we went to
investigate and were actually watching the birds at work, and we decided to
film it. The whole edge of this field was cut right back in ten to fifteen
feet by birds, where they'd gone in on the edge of the field and flattened
it all down. Bird circles are very simple to spot: the crop tends to go in
all different directions and you'll find that most of the corn has gone out
of the actual husks, because the birds just jump up, grab the corn, shut
their wings, and it falls down and then they peck it away and then they jump
up and grab the next one. What normally happens if they get in the middle of
the crop is the fact that if a little bit of wind damage occurs they can
start eating it and then they will just simply jump up at the edge of the
standing crop, grab the next stem, pull it down and in, eat the crop, and
then as the hole gets larger more and more birds go in and in no time at all
this hole can be increased to quite a large size. And being as they're all
working outwards, they will actually form a circle. So what we did in 1996,
we spotted this one early and decided that what we would do was say nothing,
to see who would come along and say that this was the genuine phenomenon.
And there were quite a few of us there on this day and I know another
researcher was filming it on a two-day basis, how it progressed in size and
things, and even the farmer came along and had a bit of a laugh when he
thought it was a real "croppie" standing there, looking at this happening,
who when he was questioned about it by the farmer said, "We're filming it
because we know this is actually a bird circle." And the farmer said, "Thank
God someone understands what's going on here. I'm absolutely fed up with the
people who say that this is a crop circle. It isn't. It's a bird circle." So
the farmer is absolutely sure of it because he drives out every day and he's
watching it and he understands it. I have to admit, there were quite a few
bird circles in 1996, out in the middle of nowhere. In very good fields you
just suddenly find there is a bird circle. In most cases what happens here
could be the fact that there's been a hole dug into the field previously -
an indentation. And what happens is, when the wet and the wind come along
that particular section, if the roots are not strong it'll fall down. So the
rest of the field would be perfectly alright, but when there's an
indentation you can get caught out with an old fashioned dew pond - we've
got them along here at Fox - it will always fall down because there's not so
much soil so the root structure is weaker. So the result is, it will
collapse.
You also get ring circles - the old fashioned rings can work the other way
round too, where you have ancient ring markings. If there's a lot of chalk
there will be a weak root structure and you'll get a perfect ring form as
well. And the interesting thing is it will also go down in one direction,
strange as it may seem. It just has a domino effect and you get the
impression then that you've got an anticlockwise or a clockwise ring that
suddenly appears. You've got to be very careful on this one. And if you're
not flying on a regular basis you don't catch it, you just suddenly find
there it is. "Oh, look. That's interesting." But again, it's something you
have to be a little bit wary about. But that's what we did in 1996, to see
how many people would write up on this "magnificent circle".
