July 31st 2009 was indeed a strange day. At the height of my own belief that crop circles were created by Extra Terrestrial entities, this day was nothing more than extraordinary.
Myself and Paul Jones set off early for Wiltshire as we had an appointment with Linda Moulton Howe and George Noory from coast to coast radio. We were going live where 10.000.000 American listeners were tuned in to listen to Linda Moulton Howes crop circle report and our June the 14th UFO experience.
Normally we take the hour long drive up the A417/A419 towards Marlborough on the A346 but on this day for some reason we decided to take the M4 motorway and came off at junction 16 and headed towards A4361 which would take us into Avebury.
it was a bright and sunny Friday morning with hardly any traffic on the roads so we made good time.
Just as we approached the lower Hackpen Hill ( A4361 ) Paul looked to his left - towards the White Horse of Hackpen Hill. Paul then shouted ' stop - stop - stop there is something in the field below the White Horse'.
His eye sight served him well - directly below the White Horse was a freshly made and undiscovered crop circle, so we had to go and have a look.

The first discovery . Hackpen Hill Below White 31st July 2009
The extra time we had on our hands was now slowly running out, being late for the live broadcast was not on our agenda so we took some quick shots and moved on.
Just as we resumed our journey along the A4361 Paul said ' I wouldn't be at all surprised if we found another crop circle'. Well, a mile or so up the road, Paul looked at me and I looked at Paul in disbelief as there was indeed yet another crop circle, this time in Winterbourne Bassett. We were running out of time rather rapidly so we called Linda and Charles Mallet ( interview was going live from Charles Mallets house ) to give to let them know that there was a possibility of us being slightly late.

The large plain circle was a previous crop circle which was cut out by the farmer - so this one was the 2nd one in this field.
We took some quick shots and resumed our journey once again.
We only had 10 minutes or so left before the 7am Coast to Coast show went live which was just about sufficient time to get to Yatesbury - unless of course we found more new circles !.
Who would have believed - just as we drove past the Red Lion Pub in Avebury, yet another new crop circle was spotted at the Peak of Waden Hill. This time there was no time to stop so we called Ariel photographers to fly as soon as possible as we knew that this circle would have a short life span. Once the farmer of this field found out that he had a circle in his crop he surely would cut it out.
We took a very quick shot from the road side and headed with speed towards Yatesbury.
With only a minute to spare we made the live show !.

Part 1 of the interview ( as crop circle believers ! )
Once we completed our slot on the show we dashed back to Avebury to try and grab some shots of the circle which was waiting for the wrath of the farmer.
When we arrived the circle was still there and no sign of the farmer just yet. So we run in as fast as we could and grabbed as many shots as we could. We were in the circle no more than 10 minutes when we spotted the tractor with cutting blades heading towards the formation.
Norwegian documentary maker arrived minutes before the farmers arrival, aerial photographers didn't make it on time - so hopefully sometime in 2012 we will get to see the action on film.
The images which we managed to take were later stitched together by 'Sunny' from China - to give us a semi aerial image.

The above image is a reconstruction of what the circle should have looked like simple by stitching pole shots which I took. AS shown below.

This farmer also cut out the Hackpen Hill crop circle which was the first crop circle discovered on this day.
Once all the excitement of the morning was over we took a drive through the many hot spots of Wiltshire before we were to meet up with Linda Moulton Howe and Lucy Pringle for lunch - no more crop circles were found or reported on this day. So we officially hold the record as the only ones to have discovered 3 crop circles in 45 minutes. Well, they did make it easy for us as they were all visible from the roadside but one thing which we still cant fully take in is that we always took the A346 to Marlborough !. On this day however we take a different unplanned route and approached Avebury from a completely different direction. If we continued on our usual route then obviously we would have not discovered all 3 crop circles, so was something consciously guiding us !?. A question we will probably never answer.
During lunch with Linda Moulton Howe and Lucy Pringle the mornings adrenaline pumping events were somewhat destroyed as the conversation led to the topic of man made crop circles. At this point in time we were still very stringent believers that all crop circles were the creation of some paranormal force or even aliens, so I didn't particularly want to hear what was being said. Lucy described how to identify man made circles and Linda described the Avebury circle as the creation by Matthew Williams. I asked Lucy whether there were actual crop circles created by paranormal forces but the answer which I received was ' I don't have an opinion' .
I didn't pursue the man made topic as I really didn't want to hear any such trash. ( I now shiver with the thought of how wrong we were at the time).
After lunch - it was time to head home.
As we were leaving Silent Circle in Compton Bassett - approximately half a mile or so later I spotted something strange in the sky. At this point the sunny day turned to a thick covering of cloud which was slowly heading towards Avebury. As we were driving - at first I thought nothing of it but as we continued driving along the twisty road I realised that whatever was in the sky was in fact keeping level with my vehicle. So whether I took a left or right turn this something was constantly level with my car. What I saw at the time could be described as the ' hull of a sea ferring ship ' cutting through the cloud and was followed by something at the side of it or directly beneath it. ( yes I know - it does sound odd ! )
An avenue of trees along the roadside were frustratingly blocking my view so I was getting glimpses of this odd sighting now and again. So I grabbed my camera, turned the dial to multishoot, stuck my hand high out of the car and kept pressing the shutter ( while driving slowly and trying to find a break in the trees so I could get a clear shot !) .
Image below shows what I saw at the time and described as ' A hull of of a ship cutting through cloud '. An object is also travelling alongside or just directly beneath . Take note of the thick cloud cover.

And then moments later the cloud parted and from nowhere a classic style UFO shaped disc shot into the clearing. I couldn't press the shutter fast enough !!!!!
We lost sight of it temporarily but then it reappeared as a white light which was heading towards Silbury Hill. We followed it but lost sight of it just as it went over Silbury Hill.
We now know that the 3 crop circles we discovered on 31st of July were man made but this no longer bothers me as I truly appreciate the creative capability of some very talented human artists. If it wasn't for these artists then experiences and discoveries such as this would not happen. It is a pity that all the energy wasted by crop circle visitors and crop circle makers is not utilised in the right direction of research. There is something incredible happening in Wiltshire that's for sure, from conscious interaction and sightings of things which are clearly not recognised in this world but sadly there are the select few who continue to cloud your minds that crop circles are created by paranormal entities which changes your perspective of what is REALLY happening. Please do not be taken in by anyone who has an interest in your cash and credit cards - go out there on your own accord and explore with your own free will - I can assure there is deceit , corruption and also something mysteriously beautiful. PEACE.
