Crop Circles Appear at Goodwood

Just 24 hours prior to the annual Goodwood Revival, a well known race event of historic cars from the 50's and 60's, mysterious crop circles were found in the grass at the legendary West Sussex circuit during final preparations.

With several events held throughout the year, the Goodwood venue is known for its fast flying objects of known origin - on and above the ground. However, this crop circle discovery suggest something of unknown origin, perhaps UFOs, which are commonly associated with such phenomenon, are at play here.

Yes, a bit far fetched for us skeptics, however, whether it's a genuine discovery or marketing ploy, it's definitely worth a chuckle. Check out the press release below.

Press Release (Click to expand)

A mystery that’s out of this world has descended on the Goodwood Motor Circuit just 24 hours before the annual Goodwood Revival meeting – the world’s most authentic historic motor racing event – gets underway (19-21 September).

Mysterious crop circles have appeared in the grass at the legendary West Sussex circuit, which celebrates the 60th anniversary since its original opening at this weekend’s Revival meeting. The crop circles were discovered during final preparations before Goodwood opens its gates to 115,000+ excited motor racing enthusiasts on Friday 19 September.

The Revival is renowned for the IFOs (Identified Flying Objects) that traditionally appear at the event, with dramatic air displays scheduled this year to include Spitfires, Mustangs, the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight and the earth-shaking Vulcan bomber.

UFOs are a rather less common sight at the Revival, however, although sightings have previously been made of unidentified objects in the skies over the event. Numerous reports can be found on the internet of a UFO sighting at the Goodwood Revival on 5 September 2003. The aliens must have enjoyed their previous Revival visit so much that they obviously did not want to miss out on the 10th anniversary Goodwood Revival celebrations this weekend!

For us earthlings, don’t forget your tickets for next year!.

Hate to break it to you, but those are not crop cirlces. they usually far more creative in design.

IN Australia we call that circle work - and it usually involves a highly powered rear wheel drive and a heavy right foot...
