Press release.
For immediate release 31st March 2008 23.59:00
With the aid of high altitude satellite-based optical imaging technology we have discovered two sets of geoglyphic ideograms in Southern Britain which we postulate could be markings left by alien visitors.
It is evident that the clearly delineated markings were made by creatures possessing at least the rudiments of intelligence.
There are indeed some similarities with the so-called ‘ landing strip ‘ markings in Nazca, Peru.
In our opinion though, it is extremely unlikely that these geoglyphs ( or the ones at Nazca ) were intended, as some have suggested, to be used as ‘ landing strips ‘. We are confident that any alien civilisation capable of building trans-universal spacecraft would be very unlikely to adopt the ‘ air-assisted planed-gliding ‘ approach to landing that our current aircraft require.
Both sets of makings can be clearly seen with the aid of the G**gle mapping system. Cick to view satellite image.

Example 2
We conclude therefore that the markings are probably informational in nature.
From ground level, the patterns are almost impossible to make out. Given their size ( covering roughly 100,000 square metres in both cases ) they were clearly designed to be seen from above – perhaps at very great distances ( given access to the correct optical imaging technology ).
As yet our computer-based probabilistic conforming algorithms have been unable to derive any exact meanings for the glyphs. We postulate though, that there could be information encoded in the markngs, dependant on the angles in which the lines cross, possibly correlated with their length as well.
We also observe that the soil structure at the location is rather sandy in nature – so the markings must have been made fairly recently ( our estimate is within the last 50 years ) and our calculations show that they will probably have disappeared ( due to natural erosion ) within another fifty or so.
This leads us to two conclusions.
If aliens built the glyphs, they will be returning to make use of them ( or perhaps to update them ) within 50 years.
Or, perhaps they were never meant to be of lasting value – we must face the possibility that they are simply the equivalent of ‘ graffiti ‘ made in an exuberant moment by some visiting intelligence.
