Reconstruction of the 2017 Woolstone Hill formation | ||
| 1. |
| Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. |
| 2. |
| Copy circle 1 to its righthand intersection with the horizontal centerline. Move this circle (copy and delete original) to its own corresponding intersection. |
| 3. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the center of circle 2. |
| 4. |
| Construct the inscribed hexagon (regular six-sided polygon) of circle 3, pointing to the right. |
| 5. |
| Copy circle 1 five times, to the other angular points of hexagon 4. |
| 6. |
| Copy circle 1 to the righthand intersection of circle 2 and the horizontal centerline. Move this circle to its own corresponding intersection. |
| 7. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the center of circle 6. |
| 8. |
| Construct the inscribed hexagon of circle 7, pointing to the right. |
| 9. |
| Copy circle 1 five times, to the other angular points of hexagon 8. |
| 10. |
| Construct a line tangent to the upper two circles 9, at the upper sides. |
| 11. |
| Copy circle 1 to the intersection of line 10 and the vertical centerline. Move this circle to its own upper intersection with the vertical centerline. |
| 12. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the center of circle 11. |
| 13. |
| Construct the inscribed hexagon of circle 12, pointing up. |
| 14. |
| Copy circle 1 five times, to the other angular points of hexagon 13. |
| 15. |
| Construct a circle, passing through the intersections (tangent points) of circles 1, and 2, and upper righthand circle 5. |
| 16. |
| Copy circle 15 to the center of circle 1. |
| 17. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 2, tangent to circle 16 at the righthand side. |
| 18. |
| Copy circle 17 eleven times, to the centers of circles 5, 11, and 14. |
| 19. |
| Copy circle 15 six times, to the centers of circles 6 and 9. |
| 20. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 11 at the upper side. |
| 21. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to uppermost circle 18 at the upper side. |
| 22. |
| Circles 2, 5, 6, 9, 11, 14, 17, 18, 19, 20, and 21, are used for the final reconstruction. |
| 23. |
| Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. |
| 24. |
| Colour all areas corresponding to standing... |
| 25. |
| ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the 2017 Woolstone Hill formation. |
| 26. |
| The final result, matched with two aerial images. |
