SUBJECT: English Crop Circles in Dakota. FILE: UFO407 08-07-90 FARGO, N.D. "Mystery circles" raising questions about an alien presence in southern England've appeared in North Dakota. John Salter, director for MUFON, a national UFO research group, has investigated three sites in the state in the past 16 months one 50 miles west of Grand Forks, another near Turtle Lake & a third at an undisclosed site in southwestern North Dakota. Based on photographs & tests, two of the sites're "bonafide, tangible, UFO landing sites." Farmer Allen Wagner found circles in a hay field in May, 1989, near Turtle Lake. The largest's about 100 feet wide. "We don't want people to think that we just believe this was a UFO phenomenon," said Sharon Wagner. "We'd like'em just to keep an open mind." Scientists around the world've debated how the circles formed, & have come up with a variety of answers ranging from wind & magnetic forces to alien landings & hoaxes. ********************************************** * THE U.F.O.
