Original news
This one was found on June 26, 1969, eight days after the first.
We have the benefit of two photographs of this later formation (above) which although not too clear, do illustrate the general size and form of the circle. It seems that the edges of the circle this time are not sharp, and the overall shape is not perfectly circular.
However the accompanying information, from the same report published in 1970, includes the following details:
"The 'nest' was in very long capim grass and bracken, and the anti-clockwise swirl was still very clear... The limits of this 'nest' were also most clearly defined... the diameter of the 'nest' was found to be just under 6 metres."
There are also several other details in the cutting far right, indicating that samples were taken, and there is also a plan of the site. I have not been able to positively locate this spot on a modern map, but the strongest candidate is the region to the east of Avenue Benedito de Campos. A football ground stands where "Stadium" is marked on the map, with a river just below where "Valley bottom" is, but although the road layout generally agrees, it seems the area has been redeveloped somewhat.
