A distinctive, soaring chalk hill, once shaped by ancient seas, it is an important site archeologically and biologically. It is the home to an abundance of grasses, wildflowers and insects. Read more
here. It also lies close to Cradle Hill, a famous site during the ‘Warminster Mystery’ flap – a series of strange happenings including UFO sightings that occurred in the 1960s and 1970s. You can read more about the Warminster happenings

The crop circle that arrived on the 18th of July is truly awe-inspiring. A huge construction measuring approximately 500ft in diameter – simply huge! An isometric representation of two star tetrahedrons (a 3D star made from two tetrahedrons). It is also known as a Merkaba star (which means light body), or perhaps even light soul/spirit. In Ancient Egypt the Ka and the Ba were the Spirit (vital spark) and the Personality. A third component the Akh – existed in the afterlife realm and was was reunited with the Ka and the Ba after bodily death. As an image of the non-physical manifestation of human kind it packs a spiritual punch.
The central Merkaba star is contained within an elaborate six-fold flower pattern. The set of 12 small circles that link the large petals together are reminiscent of a circle that appeared at Lurkeley Hill, near East Kennett in the summer of 2005. See Geometry Gallery below for an image. We have seen quite a few crop circles based on the number six this year – a number of harmony, perfection in conjunction with structure, order and function. Perhaps this formation shows us a representation of human consciousness whole and perfected. A truly intriguing and inspiring thought!
Climping Beach, Atherington, (nr Littlehampton) W. Sussex - July 19, 2017http://temporarytemples.co.uk/project/a ... -july-2017Great locations are part and parcel of the crop circle phenomenon, ancient stones circles, chalk hill figures, hill forts, and barrows. But crop circles by the sea are unusual. This is in fact the second crop circle to appear by the coast in the UK this year. An early circle in oilseed rape (canola) was reported on May 24th close to St Michael’s Mount in Cornwall. You can see some footage of the Cornish circle
here.
This was to be a very memorable flight for us, along the south coast with views of Southampton, Portsmouth and Chichester harbours, Hayling and Thorney Islands. The little village of Atherington lies between Bognor Regis and Littlehampton in West Sussex and sits beside the charmingly named Climping Beach. The small wheat field is directly adjacent to the seashore so makes for a very picturesque location.
It’s a small formation measuring approximately 150-160ft in diameter in a field of very mature wheat, with heads beginning to drop. The design is an attractive four-fold pattern made from a series of standing circles creating a cross design. The circles are standing and outlined by flattened pathways – it reminds me very much of the circle at
Woolstone Hill earlier on in the year which is of a similar design-style. The small central circle is flattened and contains a very pretty weaved floor-lay.
Four is the number of material reality, the material world, or the substance and matter of the world; the building blocks of all that is material. The cross represents the four cardinal points and the classical four states of matter; Fire, Air, Earth and Water. In this design, matter seems to be emanating from a central point where the crop is woven – the Warp and Weft of material reality? With number four comes depth, preceding it are the point, height and width. This is key to the number four as it is the addition of depth that gives substance to matter. It makes reality substantial.
The quaternity (four-fold), was also Jung’s concept of the human as four – Sensing, Thinking, Feeling and Intuiting. It might be said that it is these capacities that give us substance!
The location of the circle by the sea (water/feeling) seemed somehow apt. It made a huge emotional impression on us as we flew around it.
