17- Terwolde, Gelderland, 04-08-2002

Report from Robert Boerman and Jan Willem Bobbink

During a flight above Holland, we discovered some new formations. One of them was the formation near Terwolde, which we saw just 2 minutes after we departed. From the air we had a good view at the formation and we could see that this was an older formation, because the crop was partly standing up again. After we landed, we visited the field. The farmer gave us permission to enter the field and he was surpirsed that there was a crop circle on his field. He did not see this formation before, not even when he drove his tractor some weeks ago throught the field next to the circles. This formation sis approx. 8 weeks old.

The next day we went again to Terwolde, because the evening before it was to dark to shoot some photo's. When we spoke to the famer the day before, he told us that this field was a biological field. So this field has no tramlines. As far as we could se there were no traces at all in this field. We were the first visitors. After a good inspection we noticed some blown nodes and hunderds of swollen and enlongated nodes (see photo's). Another special detail is that every single stalk was bend and not broken.
