In returning to Bullrocks for the second time after ascending Bill Mountain from Tiny Wiltshire, I looked down in the woods and immediately spied some kind of suspicious discoloration in the distance. Were these fused blue-green (left) and white (right) blobs the aliens themselves, perhaps playacting for me as frozen mimes?? The thought had to cross my mind, and I’m sure it would yours too given the same situation.
Closeup of the discolorations; difficult to get a picture of. Obviously more convincing in person.
This more out-of-focus picture may even give one a better idea of what I saw. Another possibility is that it’s an alien artifact instead of the aliens themselves (more sensible, since it obviously was not moving as I continued to gaze upon it), perhaps a corner of their spaceship, even. The next time I go to Bullrocks I’ll have to look again.
Bullrocks themselves are fascinating even without the alien backstory. They consist of 2 large rocks, on on top of the other, with a small ledge area between the two. Here’s a section of ground at the base of Upper Bullrock, as we’ll start to call it. Notice the mysterious ebony stone.
Looking across the bottom of Upper Bullrock from basically the same position.
Amazing collection of small, rounded rocks in this basin area (detail of above). They seem to signify deeper things.
Perhaps even more mysterious “black hole” in the wall above them. I am toying around with the idea that it represents a rift in space and time, perhaps the one the Bill Mountain aliens used to enter our solar system. Are the rocks below, then, stars? Stars that, er, fell out of this black hole or this black rift? Or were formed in it? Still working on all this obviously.
