                1993 CROP CIRCLE REPORT BULLETIN
                          May 13, 1993


This is the latest in crop circle activity reported from around
the world.

September, 1992:  An Englishman flying on a chartered plane out
of Portugal took video footage out the window of a large crop
formation in the north of Spain.  It was first reported in the
CCCS Sussex Branch newsletter of April '93.  It is described
there as the world's largest crop circle, approximately 1 mile in
diameter.  It consisted of 5 concentric rings, each about 20' to
30' in width.  The total circumference of the rings was
calculated to 10 miles!  The farmer in question was contacted and
he confirmed the event. Further information is being sought.

April 21, 1993:  A double ring was reported in grass near
Kennington, south of Oxford.

May 2:  A 115-foot circle with seven grapeshot satellites on one
side and four satellites on the other was found in a wheat field
at Newton St. Loe near Bath.  The formation is marred by muddy
bootprints, and the wheat shows evidence of having been trampled
by foot.  Investigators conclude that humans made the formation.
The wheat is only about two feet high with no head, which in the
past has not been of sufficient height to support circles of
unknown origin.

May 3:  A 60-foot donut-shaped ring was found in oilseed rape at
Aston Rowant, Oxfordshire.  The crop is reported to be "perfectly
laid, bent not broken," swirled anticlockwise with an eight-foot
standing crop center.  The site is not far from a dumbbell found
in wheat last July.

The following five events were all reported on May 5 by Maria
Ward, and were confirmed by a private pilot.  They all ocurred
near the Ridgeway Trail.  Otherwise, they have not been
investigated to determine their quality.

1:  Stoke Hayward.  A large circle in wheat.

2:  Iving Oho, north of Tring.  A large circle in wheat.

3:  Leighton Buzzard.  30' ring in rape.

4:  Childrey Field in Buckinghamshire.  A circle in rape.  Busty
Taylor believes that this was a natural depression in the land.

5:  Near M40 before Wantage.  50' circle in rape.
