Rælingen 20th of August-2009

This crop circle was discovered by Lene Kjølberg in the early morning of the 2th of august. It's located in the community Rælingen, north of Oslo, on the farm Øvre Åmodt in Fjerdingby. It is visible from the Longdalsveien road. The oats field has no ordinary tramlines. Visitors can thus not acess the field without damaging the crop.

The pattern consists of a ring with two sickle shapes attached. The ring is aprx. 25m in diameter, "the sickles" protude about 9 m from the ring and the corridors are about 2m wide. The overall length of the pattern is aprx. 43 metres.

Interestingly, the centre of the formation is made up of standings undamaged plants. The inspection on the first day revealed no paths with flattened crop leading into the centre of the formation.

The farmer will not allow any visitors to the field. We can thus not present any thorough ground report. We have, though, been provided with some ground shots from a photographer who wishes to remain anonymous. These photos show a flowing, fluffy and "wind blown" lay. The close ups of the downed stalks show no damage to the plants.
