Relook at the picture (PLEASE DON'T POST IT AGAIN, I'M BEGGING YOU). You can clearly see the peak of the slope is on the camera side of the road and is a consistent distance from the road all the way across the picture. What that distance is it's impossible to make any but the most wild of guesses. What the change in altitude from the road to the crest is even a wild gueeses are out of the picture. All we know is that there is a clear and definitive upwards slope that COULD obstruct the view of the crop circle area. Unless somebody gets down there and does some measurement, or you have other pictures showing that slope from roughly ground level on the road side that's all we know. That it COULD obstruct the view. If it does obstruct the view then the mystery of how to make that set of crop circles "next" to the without being seen by traffic is solved (be far enough from the crest that you can't be seen, not particularly difficult).

I recall back in the 80's that cows were disappearing without any footprints from muddy fields out west.

These are probably the same "people" that just get pissed off at finding wheat from vegheads instead of sirloin from real men.

I wonder at what altitude the John Deere must be at to go from rocket engines to cultivator? Does Al Gore drive one? Oh, it must be electrically charged.

From Stonehenge Revisited

Circumstances of Arrival

The Stonehenge formation was additionally remarkable in that it arrived in daylight. The Stonehenge monument is a short distance away on the other side of the A 34 highway, one of the main routes to the West Country. Stonehenge is guarded throughout the day by uniformed guards with radios and the monument is on a noticably higher elevation than the crop circle field. The guards, who look down on the field, noticed nothing until the afternoon. Pilots using the airfield at Boscombe Down use Stonehenge as a prominent marker. Though the field in question had been overflown throughout the day, there was no report of a formation. The farmer who had people in the area had nothing reported until the afternoon. He was at first intractable in his belief that it must have been man-made and later, when aerial photos were available, he refused to look at them. He was eventually persuaded to open the formation to the public and put his son in charge of the enterprise. Something in the order of 15,000 people eventually visited it.

I might understand what you're talking about if I saw the picture again.

Traffic might also be looking at something else, I don't know maybe Stonehenge? Then again, maybe the time travelers created Stonehenge for the express purpose of diverting attention from the crop circle and now we know why it was created. I knew it wasn't Druids.

It all comes down to the sacred algebra hidden in this year's Farmer's almanac.
