Look at number 8 in this picture. The chart states that this sighting of UFO occupants took place in "Aveley, Essex (England) October 27, 1974". However, I can't seem to find any other sketches of it that would match the descriptions I'm finding (see case #203 in this link): link Anyway, I guess this means you can use Jawas and Sandmen figures in your next UFO game.
Wow. I didn't know that there were so many humanoids visiting us: link Dan |

Of course number 7 is also from the infamous Sontaren incusrions. |

Does anyone out there play a game similar to the BBC TV show UFO from the 1960s? YouTube link we've really gone down hill since 1980! I did date a few girls with purple hair back then, but sadly we did not fight aliens from a silver APC. In regards to the 1974 Jawas, they clearly contacted George Lucas and implanted images in his brain. |

# 11 Ewoks, but # 10 looks like that smiley face icon that became popular in the late-60s and 70s. #7 looks like someone from pest control chasing down #14. I do think figures of several would be cool. More Forteana is a good thing. |

I know that the first Star Wars film was released in 1977, but I'm curious to know if by 1974 Lucas had already solidified his initial concept of what Jawas and Sandmen would look like. On the other hand, since the most recent of the sketches in the chart (Chupacabra) dates to 1995, the artist may have simply liked Jawas and Sandmen and could have twisted the descriptions of the 1974 Aveley Essex event to include his favorite Tatooine critters.

that's a good point. I suspect that such a popular image of the Jawa would have influenced the artist. Cool pictures in any case. Sometimes I'm more interested in figures of the Hopkinsville goblins or that one tall robed entity with the 'ace of spades' head supposedly encountered in the 50s. |

Yeah. I really like those Hopkinsville goblins (very Gremlin-like): TMP link
But the Flatwoods guy is just too freaky: TMP link Dan
PS. So many aliens, so little time:

That's it! The Flatwoods Monster. I wish I had the time to learn sculpting. There are a lot of Fortean/weird stuff that I would like to see in 15mm, but I'll never see unless I do it myself. |

They did indeed. If you look closely at the pictures in the first post, you can clearly identify Alan Sugar as number 11

Looks like a perfectly representative group of Essex residents to me. |

The truth was exposed that there are myriad alien cultures from millions and millions of "alien" worlds…exposed in Men in Black as easy as I, Ii, III. |

Thanks CC for your first TMP link about bigfoot and the UFO connection. I've just burned 4-5 hours looking at those sites.
