HUNGARY IN UFO FEVER AS STRANGE CROP CIRCLES CROP UP
BUDAPEST (AUG. 10) DPA - A young boy says he saw a yellow dome-
shaped object fringed with red light. His father claims he saw a
clearly-outlined rectangular mass of light appear over the centre of
the town of Szekesfehervar.
The object apparently left behind a circle 38 metres in diametre
along with several triangles in a nearby cornfield.
Hungary is currently in unidentiied flying object (UFO) fever. The
pilot of an air sea rescue helicopter first spotted the strange crop
circles at the end of June.
Since then, Hungarian UFO fans have been flocking to see the circles
for themselves at Szekesfehervar, near Lake Balaton.
Some parents even place their children in the middle of the circle,
in order to fill them with ''magical energy''. Others believe they
are in direct contact with the ''crew'' of the UFO and that the lat-
ter will actually appear there in the flesh.
Laszlo Marnitz, who informed the daily newspaper Kurir about the
alleged extra-terrestrial visit, has an explanation for the strange
sightings:
He says the extraterrestrials cannot be seen by mere mortals as
because they live in at least 16 dimensions.
He added that the strange geometric patterns in the corn field can
only be explained away by a UFO because the corn sheaves were not
broken, just bent down.
The sheaves had furthermore been bent in just the one direction,
because the circle was caused by a magnetic field, he adds.
Marnitz, a self-professed UFO-logist, says he is quite sure that the
UFOs do not land when they visit Earth, they just hover above the
ground.
Some of the corn sheaves are now being scrutinised at an agrochemi-
cal station in the nearby town of Velence and compared with ''nor-
mal'' specimens.
The new evidence is an eight-metre circle in a cornfield near Enying
on the south bank of Lake Balaton.
Largely unbeknown to the Hungarian public seems to be the fact that
very similar ''signs'' which appeared recently in Britain and north
Germany turned out to be a hoax.
Meanwhile, those in charge of the agricultural concern on whose land
the first ''UFO'' left traces is very sceptical about the whole
affair.
Small wonder, for all the commotion caused by curiosity-seekers
arriving is having an effect on the harvest.
The concern intends to issue a summons against persons unknown to
claim compensation.
