	North Downs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The North Downs in England is a ridge of chalk hills that stretches about 100 miles (160 km) from Hampshire through Surrey (where for part of their course they are known as the Hog's Back) and Kent.
		Due to the porous nature of the underlying chalk, the North Downs is generally a treeless landscape.
		The scarp face on its southern side is the well-known aspect: the face is often cut by coombes, where woodland does appear; on the back or dip slope there are the dry valleys typical of such landscape, in which are many small villages and winding lanes.

	Aliens in the Ancient World - UFO Evidence
		For example, Dragon Hill, a round and flat, artificial mound in England, is accompanied by several chalk figures including one called the Berkshire White Horse.
		Like the Nasca figures in South America, the White Horse and neighboring British land markings were not only built by an ancient culture but were meant to be seen from high altitudes.
		Since these figures can only be seen from the sky and couldn't have been seen by the prehistoric technology, it is possible that the early inhabitants of Great Britain knew of a culture, possibly an alien culture, who had the technology to see these drawings carved into the earth.
