      BELLEVILLE, Wis. (AP) -- A Belleville patrolman's sighting of   
   strange lights in the night sky is under investigation by a   
   national UFO study center, the police chief said Monday.   
      Officer Glen Kazmar reported the red, white and blue lights to   
   sheriff's dispatchers who relayed the sighting to the Federal   
   Aviation Administration control tower in Chicago on Jan. 15, police   
   Chief Jack Pace said.   
      "He couldn't see what the lights were attached to," Pace said.   
   "All he saw was red, white and blue lights, wavering close   
   together and forming a straight line. He couldn't hear any sound."   
      Kazmar was off duty Monday and did not answer his home   
   telephone, but he told the Monroe Evening Times: "When it just   
   stayed in the same place, and the bright lights, then I knew it was   
   something that isn't normal."   
      Kazmar first sighted the lights about 9 p.m. and he and a   
   passenger, Jeff Furseth, began studying them more closely about 3   
   a.m., Kazmar told the Evening Times. They watched them until nearly   
   daybreak, when the lights disappeared on the horizon.   
      The officer estimated he got within a mile of the lights, Pace   
   said.   
      Other reports of lights were received that night by sheriff's   
   deputies in Dane and Green counties. The FAA tower in Chicago also   
   said it was tracking a slowly moving object in the area, but made   
   no radio contact with it.   
      "Actually, we're not sure if what they were looking at on their   
   radar was what officer Kazmar saw, but it's possible," Pace said.   
      The sighting has been referred to the Center for UFO Studies,   
   which has an office in Glenview, Ill., said Sherman Larsen, a   
   founding director of the group. Pace said an investigator from the   
   center contacted him and he referred the man to Kazmar.   
      "Happenings in Dane County very closely correspond to a number   
   of sightings in the Waukesha area and Kenosha County," said Don   
   Schmitt, the Milwaukee man assigned by the center to investigate   
   Kazmar's lights.   
      "One matches identically to one in northern Dane County," he   
   said, adding he currently is investigating 11 state UFO reports.   
      Pace said he was a private pilot and he believed the lights   
   Kazmar reported didn't belong to a conventional aircraft, which   
   would have red, white and green lights. "Lights moving very slowly   
   or standing still is a little abnormal for aircraft," he added.   
      However, having no radio contact is normal, especially if an   
   aircraft is on a visual flight path, he added.   
      Since Kazmar's sighting and news of it spread, the six-officer   
   department has received several calls about UFO sightings, Pace   
   said. Some calls have also been made to Kazmar's home.   
      None of the sightings resemble what Kazmar reported and Pace   
   added he expects the reports to taper off.   
      "Eventually people will find something else to talk about," he   
   said. "Something else will spark their interest. New rumours will   
   start."
