   UFO INVESTIGATOR VISITS DISTRICT   
   Seen any UFOs lately?   
      
        If so, the Victorian UFO Research Socity would like to hear from you.   
        The society's investigation officer, Mr. Paul Norman, is in the district   
   waiting to hear of sightings and unusual happenings.   
        He said he was in the area to confirm reports that three water tanks in   
   the area had been mysteriously emptied.   
        "There have been numerious reports of water tanks and dams being emptied   
   and even a sighting of a strange object hovering over a tank in Gippsland some   
   10 years ago.   
        "I have come to Swan Hill to confirm that the three tanks were emptied and   
   to talk with people who know something about the reports," he said.   
        Mr. Norman said there had been many sightings of strange circles impressed   
   into wheat crops and pastures near Speed, Ouyen, Beulah and Leitchville.   
        He said soil samples taken from the December sighting at Speed were still   
   being analysed and results should be known soon.   
        "The soil was hard and had obiviously changed its composition," Mr. Norman   
   said.   
        "But , the wheat crop was not damaged and resumed its former shape within   
   days of the finding."   
        Another circle was discovered less than a metre from the orignal shortly   
   after, and another ten circles were found in the ensuring weeks, he added.   
        "In all of them the wheat had not been crushed. The stems had been bent   
   when the wheat was green and had sap in them.   
        "We would be pleased to hear from anyone in the Swan Hill district who may   
   have seen similar circles or UFOs near water tanks or dams," Mr. Norman said.   
        Mr. Norman, a full-time investigator with the Victorian UFO Research   
   Society, travles extensivly throughout Europe, the Uniter States, Asia, Canada,   
   and the Australian Outback investigating UFO sightings.   
        He said the society was interested in receiving reports from witnesses who   
   had observed UFOs at close range and experiences related to the strange   
   phenomenon.   
        All names would be kept confidential, he added.   
        Mr. Norman can be contacted on (059) 26-7284 from February 1 to 18, or   
   P.O. Box 43, Moorabbin, Vic., 3189.
