    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.
