~Investigators try to decipher meaning of Temple Balsall crop circle~

A STUNNING crop circle has appeared near an old RAF base in Warwickshire and a 1,000-year-old hamlet founded by the Knights Templar.

The intricate geometric pattern in Temple Balsall features an eight and 16-pointed star around a central sun, alongside pyramids and oval-shaped ‘helmets’.

Many believe it has religious, spiritual or scientific meanings, from its mathematical properties to its similarity to the Cross of St John, a Lotus flower and a rose compass.

One analyst said: “Sixteen is the number of karma in the Bible, and eight is the symbol of infinity.

“No surprise then that around the central sun we have the eight-pointed star and that can be found in all cultures and religions.

“We also have the 16-pointed star around the central sun.

“Around the central sun we also have the shapes that look like helmets which have pyramids between them. This could well indicate the 16 different countries where pyramids were built.

“We also have the 16-pointed compass rose and the 16-petalled Lotus flower, which relates to the ‘throat chakra’.”

Investigators claimed police officers were banning people from visiting the field, near RAF Honiley, and that any internet posts about the circle were mysteriously deleted.
