This excerpt is taken from Fortean Times. I wanted to share it as it's a great unusual story and it made me smile. It also illustrates that reality is a fragile thing in many ways.
On the 29th October, 1979 ' ... several 10-year-old schoolchildren saw 60 or so "Noddy-like" bearded gnomes riding cars around Nottingham's Wollaton Park. The entities wore colourful clothes and were "laughing strangely". Two of the boys fell into a "swamp" in a panic when they thought some other gnomes dropped out of trees onto them. Their headmaster gathered their accounts and was IMPressed' (sorry, my capitals, couldnt resist the joke) ' at their sincerity. The case was followed up for us by Nigel Watson. We found the local UFO group's remarks most amusing. Nigel had written to them asking for more info, and their spokesman replied without any sense of irony: " We do not investigate figments of people's imaginations, only UFO reports".'
