The yellow color highlights the three similarly placed circles on each graphic. The blue color identifies the similarly-out-of-alignment satellite in each of the three patterns.

The top left graphic represents a quark-pattern. The original is located at this website.  (For clarity in this comparison, I removed a second blue outlying circle, which can be seen in the original.)

One of the satellite Circles in the '94 Adna, Washington State Formation (in alfalfa) is displaced westward, almost exactly as the one in the quark graphic.

The West Stowell Formation (UK '95) has one of its four Circles displaced similarly, too.

There were actually two identical Formations in Adna, except for their sizes. Adna I was 150' in diameter, and Adna II, which arrived 1/2-mile from the first and across the two-lane highway from it, measured 118' in diameter. BOTH of these had their southern Circles 'misaligned' in the identical manner.

If anyone has additional information which might suggest a reason for this anomaly, I'd be most appreciative if you'd share your thoughts!
