this terrifying & mysterious eye formation appeared in a field overnight in 1995; but what could it possibly mean?
the band have always denied any involvement in creating the infamous landmark.... however if look very closely
at the aerial picture you can see a small sign reading "today only - see pitch shifter at the phoenix festival!"

"The 'Stratford Eye' formation, which appeared near Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, 1995.
Michael Green, then-chairman of the Centre for Crop Circles Studies, publicly staked his
reputation on its genuineness. But many felt that the pictogram bore an uncanny resemblance
to the logo of Pitch Shifter, an industrial-thrash beat combo, who were bottom-of-the-bill
at the nearby Phoenix music festival, and in desperate need of encouragement."

description: an 'eye' formation consisting of a circle with a ring around it (pupil).
surrounding this are two curved paths forming the outer part of the end.
six small semi-circles form 'eye-lashes' - three on either side of the formation.
reported: 7th July 1995
"The Long Marston Airfield held the Phoenix Festival, at the time the formation was in the field.
Another CCCS member Anthony Harding told me of a group called the Pitch Shifters,
who had an identical logo to the Stratford Eye formation. The graphic artist who made
the logo was a chap called JSC, he designed the shape five years ago,
and had no idea that a Crop Circle of the same shape had appeared.
It's very strange that the Circle Makers, and JSC both drew the same shape,
and they both made the same mistake in the drawing.(The edges of the eye lids had
different widths between the top and bottom lids in the corners). I am confident that the formation dowsed genuine, I just wonder if the CIRCLE MAKER and JSC were both right handed,
to have made a mistake. (Well they were only human, or were they? Ed). "
