Yatesbury, Wiltshire County, England - After midnight on Tuesday, July 14, 2009, Yorkshire engineer, Winston Keech, had set up his four infrared cameras on a pole looking across the East Field wheat below Adams Grave. The rest of the huge East Field had not been planted this year and was a mass of dark soil next to the far west end wheat. Winston is an entrepreneur who develops renewable energy systems and is fascinated by crop formations.
He wants to see what he can capture on infrared (IR) videotape, and the carpet of East Field wheat seemed a good place to night watch.
His four cameras are Samsung 0.0002 lux infrared with 570 line resolution on closed circuit TV, mounted on a high T-bar in front of his van.

Winston Keech. Win Keech also used a high resolution, fixed lens, Digital Still Camera (DSC-R1) with 10 megapixel images made by Sony.
The combination of the still camera with the four
infrared cameras mounted on the pole helps give angles to gauge
distances and heights and make comparisons between the visible color
world and the infrared’s shades of grays, blacks and whites.
Comparisons also help Winston to identify which images are only in
the infrared.
Then the large moving anomalies disappear, after two further flashes, from the infrared videotape.

Still frames

after the light flashes and dark objects had moved around, but there is no indication of any shadow of a pattern that would be found at sunup.
RGB Gamma Adjust

At 4:36 AM, a man and two women from Holland were walking along the edge of the East Field and walked close by the formation, detected a shadow and eventually the tightly woven basket weave circle pattern with two arcs extending from it was reported.
videotaped after midnight to sunup was this tightly woven circle with an arc extending from each side.

Tramline comparisons between this color photo with the basket weave pattern now there and the light flash infrared image below show it's the same site. Image 2009 by Charles Mallett.

More Infrared High Strangeness July 7, 2009 Near Knap Hill
Speeded up movie of sudden, strangely patterned light near Knap Hill, not far from East Field, on July 7, 2009, at 3:24 a.m, that seems to “release” a small, walking entity that dissipates.

Slowed down movie of sudden, strangely patterned light near Knap Hill, not far from East Field, on July 7, 2009, at 3:24 a.m, that seems to “release” a small, walking entity that dissipates.
Movie 2009 by Winston Keech. Winston refers to the strange infrared event as the "tiny entity" because as he emailed me:
The eerie implication is that whatever suddenly lit up in the grass, seems to move on legs and then dissipates into thin air might still be moving around unseen in the fields.
But what is it? What is it doing? And why?
