Tiny
Humanoid captured on camera.
We subsequently advised the witness that in order for us to
properly investigate the sighting we would require a fully completed sighting
report as per the information on our ‘report-a-sighting’ page (this is standard
BUFORA practice), which the witness then politely declined.
So not having conducted an investigation into this case, we
are unable to fully assess the veracity of the witness’s story, and therefore
we cannot offer a definitive or probable cause, but we should stress that we
have absolutely no reason to suspect the witness is not being completely honest
in describing what she saw on that occasion.
We were told by the witness that she had also sent her
report and photographs to ‘other experts and researchers’, and when we checked
we found there were indeed several other sites covering this case, but they had
simply published what they had been given, and none that we could see had
conducted any research or investigation. The ‘conclusion’ often given was “Could this be evidence of some kind of
strange creature, a trick of the light, or is the whole thing a clever hoax?
You decide.”
At BUFORA, along with many other science based research
organisations, we find that up to 98% of all ‘UFO’ sightings can be shown to
have a perfectly conventional explanation when reported quickly and with
detailed and accurate information, and although we had not conducted a full
investigation into this case, our initial instincts were that the ‘Humanoid’
looked as if it could easily be a ‘cardboard cut-out’, so we decided to conduct
a simple objective experiment to test this hypothesis and to see if we might be
able to recreate a similar photograph using our own cardboard cut-out MTH (My
Tiny Humanoid).
The results of our experiment are shown below and we will
leave it to the reader to form their own opinion on the answer to the question “Could this be evidence of some kind of
strange creature, a trick of the light, or is the whole thing a clever hoax?
You decide.”
