Reconstruction of the Willoughby Hedge 5-06-2016 formation | |||||
1. | ![]() | Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | |||
2. | ![]() | Construct four inscribed pentagons (regular 5-sided polygons) of circle 1, one pointing up, one pointing down, one pointing to the left, and one pointing to the right. | |||
3. | ![]() | Draw the twenty rays of pentagons 2, from the center of circle 1 to the angular points. Number these rays 1 - 20 clockwise, starting at the top. These numbers will denote the angular points as well. | |||
4. | ![]() | Draw two lines, from angular point nr. 11, to angular points nrs. 3 and 19, respectively. | |||
5. | ![]() | Draw two lines, from angular point nr. 1, to the intersections of rays nrs. 7 and 15 with lines 4. | |||
6. | ![]() | Draw two lines, from angular point nr. 1, to the intersections of rays nrs. 4 and 18 with lines 4. | |||
7. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the intersections of rays nrs. 3 and 19 with lines 5. | |||
8. | ![]() | Draw the connecting line between the lower end-points of lines 5. | |||
9. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the intersections of rays nrs. 9 and 13 with line 8. | |||
10. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed decagon (regular ten-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing up. | |||
11. | ![]() | Copy lines 5 and 6 nine times, by repeating steps 5 and 6 (and the necessary previous steps) with respect to the other angular points of decagon 10. | |||
12. | ![]() | Construct the circumscribed decagon of circle 1, pointing to the right. | |||
13. | ![]() | Construct the circumscribed circle of decagon 12. | |||
14. | ![]() | Circles 1, 7, 9, and 13, and lines 5, 6, and 11, are used for the final reconstruction. | |||
15. | ![]() | Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. pdf-file | |||
16. | ![]() | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... pdf-file | |||
17. | ![]() | ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the Willoughby Hedge formation of 5-06-2016. pdf-file | |||
18. | ![]() Courtesy the Crop Circle Connector | The final result, matched with the aerial image. | |||
