I'm not gonna do your homework for you, but being the expert you pretend to be, you undoubtedly know exactly what I'm talking about.
Mind you, we have here a trained observer (sic), a RAF jetfighter pilot, a 45 minute time interval & a HUGE & complex formation, that - on paper - can only be drawn by a computer.
Now count the circles & do the math.

The answer is very simple.
You need enough sunlight to reflect on the formation otherwise you gonna fly right over it and you won't even notice it.
Here is a video that explains it:

Big cropcircle there, can you spot it? No, because there is not enough light reflecting it.

Another example:
now you see me...
Different angle:
now you don't...
Magical isn't it?
