While visiting the Upper Chutes formation in July of 2007, I encountered these teenagers who, on their first visit to this formation on their father’s land, saw a “silver orb,” as they describe it, at the edge of a field where a crop circle had appeared the night before.What did these people see? A new form of energy? A UFO? A rare life-form? Listen to their description. (I took this raw footage with a digital still camera and there is a bit of wind noise.)

Now comes another report of a similar type of ball of light and other weird phenomena witnessed at the Martinsell Hill formation of July 2009, a formation that our crop circle tour group visited with Colin Andrews. Incidentally, this is formation where Colin’s camera burned out as described in a previous post. It’s interesting to me that here are two formations where balls of light are seen at the edges of the field hosting a big crop formation. What’s the connection? Let me know if you’ve figured it out.See the link below for pictures and stories about this formation. I can’t say what’s in the photos or even if these are photographic artifacts. However, the parallels with the Upper Chutes formation are interesting to me. Read more and see the photos here.
