Minor corrections.
I want to make some changes the circle sizes from the measurements that were made yesterday.
west most circle is 52 feet diameter
north most circle is 44 feet diameter
large central circle:
outer downed ring is 17 feet thick
standing crop ring is 9 feet thick
central circle is 54 feet diameter
total ring/circle diameter = 106 feet diameter
I checked the alignment of the the formation with regard to magnetic north. It appears that the formation lines up with the due north and west directions well enough to say perfect.
I did another observation while Joanna and Mike were in the formation doing photos when it was getting dark.
I measured the electric field and the magnetic field of the nearby power lines. I went directly under them and measured 25KV per meter ^2 electrical field and about 35 milligauss magnetic field. I then walked back toward the formation to where the point where the meter measured 1 milliguass. I did not do this for the E-field, but I'll try for tonight.
A friend of mine, Adrian, had shown up and was discussing things with Joanna and Mike. Adrian and I had found a random formation that was about 30 or 40 feet away from the west circle. We walked over to it from the circle. Most notablely was the shape and node bending of it. Lot's of node bending to 90 degrees and about 45 to 90 on all nodes of about 40 percent of the plants. The overall shape of the formation appeared to be shaped like an arrow. I think the overall size was about 9 by 6 feet. It pointed in the south westerly direction. I am going to 'follow' this arrow if I have time tonight. It may be an actual "guide" who knows. I found this sort of thing last year in Richmond Hill and it was "guiding" me to look around the area.
Drawing will follow shortly. I'm going to include the power trans. tower with estimated distance plus all measurements.

Supplement to Joanna's findings from this morning.
I went back in to the field today at about 2:00pm and left at 4:00pm. Did a general survey and took many photos including some from a tree nearby (about 25 feet upward). I took some magnetic readings and plotted them on a diagram I put together. Going to bring out a compass tonight to verify my readings today. I believe the formation is lined up somewhat to the North and West compass directions.
There were some odd spots on the ring that had change in direction of crop lay. Locations seem to be at or near the tangenting smaller circles. The lay seems to traject about 45 degree off the steady angular path of fallen crop. These seem to be about 10 feet long stretches of 45 degree angle dropping crop.
My estimated diameters of the circles are:
west most circle: 44 feet diam counterclockwise lay
north most circle: 49 feet diam counterclockwise lay
middle circle: 52 feet diam counter clockwise lay standing ring: 9 feet thick (extremities: 52 feet diam to 70 feet diam) outside ring: 16 feet thick (extremities: 70 feet diam to 102 feet diam) Middle circle/ring total: 102 feet diam
I grabbed about 20 seed heads and found one stone at the middle of the most west circle.
Grape shots found north of the formation in weeds and grasses about 45 feet north of the east most circle. About 3 feet diameter. Plus some random formation found about north west of the west circle at the edge of the field. Looks like weeks old stuff.
Some crackling did occur, but I wasn't sure if it was thermal expansion activity or not. Sun was out and it was hot. I got dizzy at about 4:00pm and decided to leave.
Magnetic signature measuered in the 0 to 3 milligauss range using a Trifield detector:
I measured about 0.35 mG at the west most point of the west circle and measured a gradient from there all the way to the east most tangent or chord of the east circle with a reading of 1 mG and about 0.8 mG at the east most portion of the ring. I can deduct that this reading is from the nearby power transmission lines. I am quite sure that this reading will continue to get stronger the closer I get to the towers. No measureable E-field.
The nearest Tower is about 300 to 500 feet away.
I had a slight microwave reading of about 0.1 milliwatts per cm^2 in the ring at the ground level. No other readings present elsewhere.
The height of the bending point of the crop is about 1 to 2 cm above ground surface (usual).
I have done another experiment and checked for 'peaks and troughs' in the formation. I did this last year for my curiosity. So I did it again in the inner most largest circle. I got measurements between troughs at about 12 to 14 inches. I worked out a frequency from this of 3 Gighertz
Troughs are the regions of the lay the are lower and peaks are the hills. Looking into the largest circle, the lay is counter clockwise and you will see a pattern of various hills and valleys/troughs. Thikning in how electromagnetic waves propagate and thinking antenna theory as well I assumed I could percieve what energy frequency is at play. Perhaps or perhaps not!
For those who do not know: wavelength = speed of light/frequency. Therefore wavelength = 12 to 14 inches which equates to 30cm to 35cm (0.3 and 0.35 metres). Wavelength measure in meters.
I'll draw up a diagram (Autocad 2000) perhaps tonight or tommorrow and send off to Paul with the readings I had plus with compass headings.

This just might be the first Canadian crop circle of the 2003 summer season. It was discovered by a passer-by on July 23rd at about 7pm. The crop is golden wheat (I believe) although some rather 'greenish' stalks were seen within the circles. Interesting to note that this formation is only a mile or two from the Limehouse formation of 2002 and also the Georgetown formation of 2002 - both with 'inner rings' like this present one. This formation is near a busy road on which large trucks constantly drive by to the nearby limestone quarry. It is also near large powerlines.
The formation is a triplet - that is three circles - almost forming a type of 'Mickey Mouse' outline or 'Celtic cross' shape. The middle circle is the largest - about 50 feet across and has a five-foot wide inner ring of standing crop. The outer section of flattened crop is about 14 feet wide and goes counter-clockwise. The inner section of flattened crop goes in a signature 'swirl', counter-clockwise also, and has a flowing, gently pressed qualitiy although I noticed layers underneath (going in different directions). This is also true for the two adjoining circles on either side of the big, centre one. These circles are both about 40 feet in diameter. They both swirl counterclockwise.
I also noticed that the stalks had obvious stretched and swollen nodes (especially notable on the 1st node below the seed head that was about 1.5 to 2 feet below the seed head) and were somewhat dehydrated closer to the ground. All were bent, and no board marks seen. Node changes were more visible in the centre and south-right side circles (perhaps created first?) and I also found one single standing stalk in centre circle that didn't have a seed head - it seemed 'sheared off'. There were also occassional standing stalks, some bent a few inches below the seed head, throughout the middle and south-right circle making hoaxing more unlikely. Perhaps the 'energy' was more forceful here? A few flattened weeds were seen as well. Also, I found a small cloverleaf plant amidst the stalks in the top, south-right circle that had a SMALL FLY-LIKE INSECT stuck on it by it's head - or perhaps tongue? Almost looks like the poor thing was slammed into the leaf. Will try and have this looked into.
I must add that if there ever was a crop circle to show that randomly-downed areas might be affected by the same force as that which may cause crop circles (in other words, the two things are 'linked'), it was this one. Seemingly flowing 'splays' were seen in all the circles although to a greater degree in the one smaller, bottom circle. These splays gave the circle a 'lodged' effect. The energy 'force' seemed to be more specific in the middle and top south-right circle. I also noticed a grapeshot splay near the whole formation and not far, in the same field and other fields, there is noticeable lodging.
Overall, I felt very positive in this formation although a bit dizzy - perhaps due to excitement and the early morning hour. Aerials and more information pending.
