🌾 New crop circle 🌾

Something new has just appeared on Waden Hill… and it’s right in the heart of Avebury.

A fresh crop circle was reported on 29 April 2026, etched into one of the most active and historically charged landscapes in the UK.

This isn’t just any field. This is sacred ground, surrounded by ancient stone circles, ley lines, and centuries of unexplained phenomena.

Captured from above, this one sits quietly in the Wiltshire countryside…

@AnfieldWatch No. Time to change.

Science, stigma, and the search for truth.

That’s how @DrBeaVillarroel frames her work in this recent article in @SentinelNews_

And within it, a question that hasn’t left me:

“What happens the day one says no?”

Because that’s the moment everything shifts.

In her research, Beatriz is examining anomalies in astronomical data that don’t neatly fit existing models.

Not dismissing them.
Not smoothing them out.
But asking what they actually are.

That takes rigour.
And it takes courage.

Because this kind of work doesn’t just challenge data.
It challenges systems.
Assumptions.
Gatekeeping.

She also speaks openly about something many still avoid:

The stigma in this field is real.
And yes, it is still largely shaped by male-dominated structures.

But it’s important to say this clearly.
There are also many good, supportive men in this space who genuinely want to see the science move forward.

And yet, support can still shift depending on alignment.

Not framed as a complaint.
But as an observation from within it.

And that’s where her question lands.

What happens when you stop aligning?
When you follow the signal, not the narrative?

Doors don’t always close loudly.
They close quietly.
Behind the scenes.

I’ve seen it firsthand, not just as an observer, but as her friend.

Because progress doesn’t come from filtering out the uncomfortable.

It comes from having the courage to look at it properly.

At the Freddie Mercury tribute concert, Axl Rose was supposed to sing "Bohemian Rhapsody" as a duet with Elton John.

He didn't show up for any of the rehearsals, in fact the members of Queen didn't know if he was going to show up.

There was no plan B…

I was a Liverpool fan way before I became a pro footballer. As someone who genuinely cares & watches every single game… This is a disaster. Slot, you won the league last year with a style of play and DNA of Liverpool that Klopp built. This team is now close to unrecognisable…

I just signed this petition to make 2026 the year big water polluters are finally made to clean up their act. Will you add your name too? @friends_earth https://t.co/N1e5DJrlRf

@thatuapgirl @jamescfox @DrStevenGreer The one difference that springs to my mind is that we now have a better sense of the barriers to truth. I would like to think we've lost the naivety.

Rest in peace Mr von Dāniken. I will always remember our conversation at Awakenings in Blackpool UK.

[Holly Wood @thatuapgirl]

RIP Erich von Däniken.

One of the true pioneers who changed how millions of people thought about humanity’s past and its possible connection to the stars.

Long before “ancient aliens” was mainstream, he was asking forbidden questions about our origins, the gods, and whether humanity has been influenced by non-human intelligences for far longer than we’re comfortable admitting.

Here’s another clip from the archive. A reminder that whatever you think of the theory, he opened doors that never fully closed.

Rest well, Erich. Your questions outlived you 💙
