the negative reactions <strong>of</strong> scientists to his analysis <strong>of</strong> the French sightings. They argued that suchfantastic stories could only come from deranged minds. "What would these scientists have said," heremarked, "if I had published all the data!"Among the cases that deserve close examination, but which were swept under the rug by UFObelievers themselves, is the sighting at Nouatre, France, on September 30, 1954. About 4:30 P.M.Georges Gatay, head <strong>of</strong> a team <strong>of</strong> eight construction workers, found himself walking away from theothers. He felt a "peculiar drowsiness" and suddenly wondered where he was going. Then, withoutwarning, he faced the strangest apparition. Less than thirty feet away, above him on the slope, was aman. His head was covered by an opaque glass helmet with a visor coming down to his chest. Hewore gray coveralls and short boots. In his hand he held an elongated object: "It could have been apistol, or it could have been a metal rod." On his chest was a light projector. The strange man wasstanding in front <strong>of</strong> a large shining dome, which "floated" about three feet above the ground. <strong>Above</strong>the cupola <strong>of</strong> the machine were objects like rotating wings or blades. Then,suddenly, the strange man vanished, and I couldn't explain how he did, since he did notdisappear from my field <strong>of</strong> vision by walking away, but vanished like an image one erasessuddenly.Then I heard a strong whistling sound which drowned the noise <strong>of</strong> our excavators; the saucerrose by successive jerks, in a vertical direction, and then it too was erased in a sort <strong>of</strong> bluehaze, as if by miracle.Gatay tried to run, but he found himself helplessly nailed to the spot. He was thus "paralyzed"during the whole observation. So were seven coworkers, in a unique case <strong>of</strong> collective physiologicalreaction. None <strong>of</strong> them had previously believed in the reality <strong>of</strong> the so-called saucers. As soon as hewas able to move again, Gatay rushed back to his men and cried, "Have you seen something?"Mr. Beurrois told him: "Yes – a flying saucer!" And the man who was the driver <strong>of</strong> the excavator,Mr. Lubanovic, added: "There was a man dressed like a diver in front <strong>of</strong> it." Four others – Messrs.Sechet, Villeneuve, Rougier, and Amiraut, a truck driver – confirmed the details <strong>of</strong> the sighting.It must be pointed out that the incident took place in a remote rural region. At the time the wave <strong>of</strong>French reports was just beginning. But Gatay, who fought during the war with the Resistance andwas wounded in Luxembourg, stated that he was not used to flights <strong>of</strong> fancy. Following theincident, he suffered from insomnia, strong headaches, and loss <strong>of</strong> appetite for a week. Ironically,the eight men are still not convinced that the flying saucers were alien. They feel sure they are asecret development by a terrestrial nation – probably France.In Jalapa, Mexico, early in September 1965, a hovering object was seen with luminous slits in itscircumference and a black-clad being, with eyes gleaming like cat's eyes, holding a shining metalrod. The entity vanished suddenly while under observation in a Jalapa street by a local reporter, twotaxi drivers, and a bullfighter.In the Carazinho, Brazil, case <strong>of</strong> July 26, 1965, five dwarfs dressed in dark uniforms and smallboots were seen. We are told that "one <strong>of</strong> them had in his right hand a brilliantly luminous objectlike a wand."There was a sudden flash <strong>of</strong> lightning about 1:45 P.M. on January 28, 1967, on Studham Common,near Whipsnade Park Zoo, an isolated spot in the Chiltern Hills in England. Rain was falling andthe atmosphere was heavy, reports English researcher R. H. B. Winder, who investigated this casefor The Flying Saucer Review. Seven boys were on their way to school in the vicinity <strong>of</strong> the Dell – ashallow valley and an ideal spot for playing hide-and-seek. Alex Butler, age ten, was looking southover the Dell when he saw clearly, in the open, "a little blue man with a tall hat and a beard."Alex called his friend, and they ran toward the figure. They were about twenty yards away when it"disappeared in a puff <strong>of</strong> smoke." The boys were very much surprised, naturally, but nothing in theattitude <strong>of</strong> the strange figure had inspired fear or suggested threat, so they kept looking for the "littleblue man" and saw him again on the opposite side <strong>of</strong> the bushes from where he was first standing.They went toward him. He vanished once more, reappearing at the bottom <strong>of</strong> the Dell. This time,
they heard voices in nearby bushes and became slightly afraid. The voices reminded them <strong>of</strong>"foreign-sounding babble." Finally, they saw the man a fourth time before they were summoned toschool by the whistle.Their teacher, Miss Newcomb, noticed how excited they were and, in spite <strong>of</strong> their warnings thatshe would never believe them, immediately separated them and made each <strong>of</strong> the seven boys writedown his experience in his own words. The essays were then gathered into a book called The LittleBlue Man on Studham Common, which notes Winder, makes fascinating reading and no doubt "willoccupy an honored place in the archives <strong>of</strong> the Studham Village Primary School."Investigation disclosed a number <strong>of</strong> local sightings – among them two landings in the vicinity <strong>of</strong> thespot – within a few months <strong>of</strong> the January sighting. Naturally, the investigators were most interestedin hearing the boys themselves give details on the appearance <strong>of</strong> the creature. Winder reports:They estimate the little man at 3 ft. tall (by comparison with themselves) with an additional2 ft. accounted for by a hat or helmet best described as a tall brimless bowler, i.e., with arounded top. The blue color turned out to be a dim greyish-blue glow tending to obscureoutline and detail. They could, however, discern a line which was either a fringe <strong>of</strong> hair orthe lower edge <strong>of</strong> the hat, two round eyes, a small seemingly flat triangle in place <strong>of</strong> a nose,and a one-piece vestment extending down to a broad black belt carrying a black box at thefront about six inches square. The arms appeared short and were held straight down close tothe side at all times. The legs and feet were indistinct.As for the "puff <strong>of</strong> smoke," it apparently was a whirling cloud <strong>of</strong> yellowish-blue mist shot towardthe pursuers.The Magic CasementThe Reverend Robert Kirk makes no bones about it: the elves did at one time occupy the land.Today it is still a common belief in the north <strong>of</strong> Scotland that the sith or fairy people existed once, abelief that survives in their title "Good Neighbors," although they could also be hostile to man:While the Sith had no inborn antagonism towards human beings, and were occasionallyknown to do good turns to their favourites, they were very quick to take <strong>of</strong>fence, capriciousin their behavior and delighted in playing tricks on their mortal neighbors. These cantripshad to be patiently endured, as resistance or hostility might lead to dreadful reprisals – thekidnapping <strong>of</strong> children or even adults. An attitude <strong>of</strong> passive friendliness on the human sidewas therefore assumed to be eminently desirable.Sir Walter Scott refers to this when Bailie Nicol Jarvie, in Rob Roy, tells his companion, as theypass a fairy-hill near Aberfoyle:They ca' them... Daoine Sith, which signifies, as I understand, men <strong>of</strong> peace: meaningthereby to make their gudewill. And we may e'en as well ca' them that too, Mr. Osbaldistone,for there's nae gude in speaking ill o' the laird within his ain bounds.A Gaelic scholar, Campbell, minister <strong>of</strong> Tiree, published a story called "Na Amhuisgean – TheDwarfs <strong>of</strong> Pigmies," in which he remarks:The existence <strong>of</strong> pigmies in some unknown region bordering upon, if not forming part <strong>of</strong>,the "kingdom <strong>of</strong> coldness" is <strong>of</strong> interest as indicating some <strong>of</strong> the connection betweensmallness <strong>of</strong> person and cold climate, and so leading to the speculations as to the firstdispersion <strong>of</strong> the human race and connection <strong>of</strong> tribes that are now far removed from each
