Cropcircles in Germany 2010

The pilot Stefan Rampfel www.goeflug.de and Roy Däuble/FGK discovered in the early afternoon of 14 August during a flight near Berwartshausen/Höckelheim, junction Northeim-West, another crop circle in a field ::map. If the weather stays dry the crops will be harvested very soon.

According to Stefan Rampfel this crop circle could be at least 10 days old because a colleague told him about it but there have been no pictures so far.

The crop circle represents a clock-face. The clock hand shows 5 past 12 o'clock. The crop circle consists of 2 circles which form a frame for the clock-face, the clock-face with 8 semi cycles, 4 paths and a thin circle and in the centre is a circle with a small and a big clock hand. Outside of the formation above the 12 on the clock-face there is a roman number "XII" = 12. On the other side of the roman number, outside of the formation, are 2 small circles next to each other. The crop lies down in the clockwise direction. The crop circle located in Groß Schneen also consisted of 2 small circles outside the formation.

Comment - This formation of the clock-face with the clock hands 5 past 12 refers to the year 2012. Or does it refer to the adverts for the film "5 past 12 - the climate is hitting back"?

Is is a coincidence that this crop circle refers to the 12th crop circle in Germany this year? We don't hope that in the future not all crop circles will be numbered :)) Your FGK-Team.

The oil spill that resulted from the explosion and sinking of an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico last week is becoming more worrying as it continues to spread and efforts at stemming the flow of the leaking oil are being met with difficulties.

Here is what you need to know about the situation so far and how it might develop in the future.

How big is the oil slick and how fast is it growing?

The oil slick has grown in size since the initial accident as the oil spreads across the surface of the ocean. The lighter the oil is, the faster it can spread — so gasoline would spread faster than thicker, black oils, such as the crude oil from the Deepwater Horizon. But even heavy oil can spread quickly in a major spill, spreading out as thin as a layer of paint on a wall in just a few hours, according to the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

Officials combating the spill estimate that the oil slick has a circumference of about 600 miles (about 970 kilometers), though the shape of the spill is irregular. The slick is big enough to be seen from space.
