Barnes on 14 July—the night that a two-armed "basket- woven" circle arrived there—did, however, manage to capture something of interest. In the footage taken in the very early hours of the morning, two bright flashes are seen to occur in the field, resulting in the apparent instant materialisation of two large and amorphous dark blobs. Then, the clearer figures of what seem to be people apparently start to arrive in the field, and the new formation can be seen as the light comes up. This footage is being promoted in certain quarters to support the suggestion that some sort of co-creation process may be going on: "shadow" entities controlling humans to create patterns they wouldn't otherwise be capable of making. Yet, as the American camera crew found, this year there were also many tales of groups sitting very close to fields where new formations were discovered as the dawn arrived—with absolutely nothing having been seen or heard all night, suggesting an entire absence of common-or-garden plankers. Indeed, a triple circle design at West Overton on 9 August seems to have Windmill Hill, Wiltshire. Reported 6 August.
