??-??-1912
Ponder this example. It is not a myth,
but supposedly a true story--as true, at least, as any modern claim you will
read in the rest of this book. It was first documented in 1937 by Alasdair
Alpin MacGregor and so owes nothing to the UFO legends that it so dearly
presages. It occurred on the Island
of Muck off the coast of Scotland in
the year 1912.
Two boys were playing on the beach
when they saw a strange boat and were approached by two small beings dressed
in green. On board the boat was a small woman with a dog that was to her
scale but in our terms about the size of a rat. The beings asked the boys
many questions about their lives, talking to them fluently in both English
and Gaelic. Then they were given some bread which had the appearance of a
walnut. They ate this without question, feeling elated and at peace as they
did so. The entities, who said they had to leave, tried to entice the boys to
go with them, but the two declined the offer of a trip to fairyland. They
were told instead to remain watching the boat until it reached a certain point far out to sea, and
then they would be free to go home. The boys complied and were left
with the news that other beings of this strange race would be coming in the
future. Shortly afterward, their sister found the youths with glazed eyes,
staring upon an empty sea, lost in a trance.
