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.

The circle's gotta be at least a mile from the circle. Do you have any pictures showing how well the field can be seen from Stonehenge? With or without the circle. Proof man, backup your claims. You've got all these pictures of the thing, well cough some up that show how "easily observed" it was, stuff we can use to actually judge the distances and altitudes in question. Scaleless pictures from odd arial angles prove nothing more than the existence of the circle. You'd think SOMEBODY would have performed something similar to the test I proposed earlier, it would take about 5 minutes and would provide a ton of useful information.
