Early 1940s - Mill End
This report is of particular interest because it may involve a "pictogram", which is to say, circles connected together with flattened pathways. The case was first published by Colin Andrews in his CPR Newsletter in 1991 (newsletter no 3, page 4).
The witness was Mrs Staermose, who during World War II was a child living in Hertfordshire. In her report to Colin Andrews, she states that she remembers them "with absolute clarity", and that two particular fields had circles a number of times. The pictogram formation is, therefore, not the whole story, although particulars of the other circles are forgotten.
Mrs Staermose recalled that she and her friends would play inside them for hours, imagining the circles to have been made by German parachutists. The pictogram consisted of two or three circles, connected with a narrow pathway which was curved. She remembered that in these pathways, the crop stems were splayed slightly to one side, and that the circles themselves were swirled to the ground with sharp edges. No further details are currently known of this intriguing case.
