Lancashire Crop Circle Report for 1995.
LC951. Mid April, Oilseed Rape, size uncertain. Thought bubble, consisting
of six circles, of decreasing size, curving to the right. Two grapeshot
found apporx 50 ft away. Ground examination revealed poorly laid stems,
many broken and scraped, indicating poor hoaxes. Location, close to the M6,
near Charnock Richard, beneath electricity pylons.
LC952. Mid April, Oilseed Rape, size uncertain. One circle, with
grapeshot. Circle uneven, its 'tip' pointing at the grapeshot. More recent
than LC951, but again appeared to be manufactured. Location: Across the
road from the above, closer to the motorway.
LC953. Found 25.7.95, Barley, approx. 100ft. Small circle, with two rings.
Ringed circle between the two rings, and grapeshot outside the rings. Old,
rings quite messy with age; otherwise good, gap seeking from outer ring.
Location: Below Harrack Hill, near Parbold, Lancs.
LC954. Found 25.7.95, Barley, approx. 90ft. Field harvested, so difficult
to tell much. Grapeshot seen some distance away. Two rings connected to
central circle by corridor. Location: Mawdsley, Lancs, well back from the
road.
LC955. Found: 25.7.95, Barley, approx. 50ft. Circle, connected to a smaller
ring by a narrow corridor. Quite old, but still well flattened. Location:
In the corner of a field, close to the main road running out of Mawdesley.
LC956. Found 25.7.95, Wheat, approx. 35ft. Straightforward circle.
Clockwise swirl, centre slightly offset. Not an exact circle, but smoothly
laid within the last few days. Single grapeshot 200ft away. Location: In a
field below the main road, opposite the Warner Brothers Cinema, Capital
Centre, Preston. A large circle appeared here in July 1993, following
grapeshot seeding by C. Kenworthy.
Photograph: LC957. Found 25.7.95, Wheat. Circle with curving corridor,
leading to smaller circle. Smaller circle and ring nearby. Main formation
approx. 120ft. Smaller circle approx. 16ft. All anti-clockwise. Well laid,
within the last few days, some standing stems. This field was seeded with
grapeshot (in rape) in early 1994 by C. Kenworthy. Location: Off Doyles
Lane, near Bretherton, Lancs. Unlikely to have been made by people, as
car headlights scan over the exact location all night.
Photograph: LC958. Found: 25.7.95, Wheat, approx. 200ft. Brand new;
believed to have come down on the night of 23rd/24th July, when locals saw
anomalous lights over Harrack Hill. These strobed fiercely, and although
the hill was several miles away, the effect was strong enough to light up
fields around this formation. It was perfectly laid, with a neat swirl. The
pictogram wasn't easily visible from the (remote) road, unless you already
knew where to look for it, and received few visitors. In some places, the
flow reversed under the top layer of crop for a few feet, terminating in
standing stalks. The perimeters of all features were extremely sharp, with
the crop flowing out against the well-defined standing walls. The pictogram
formed within one mile of a 1994 circle and stem, which appeared in fields
adjacent to those seeded with grapeshot by C. Kenworthy earlier that year.
Location: Close to the River Douglas, near Sollum, Lancs.
