Little man report, no UFO.
Little men observed. An unidentified object at close range and its occupants were observed by one witness in a bedroom (Handyside).
Nancy Handyside was awakened by the barking of dogs, and heard a moaning sound. She got up to see if the children were all right. As she was about to turn on the hall light she heard a scurrying sound, as rats might make. She saw nothing; the children were sleep and she returned to her bed, turned out the light and lay there listening to the strange sound. After about ten minutes, feeling her dog press against her on the bed, she felt reassured and reached out to pet him. What she saw was not her dog but a grotesque little man leaning against the edge of the bed. She shoved violently with her leg and lost sight of him as he rolled over on the floor. She described him as gray skinned with shiny eyes, large with no pupil. His mouth was a slit and he had a pointed chin. He was no more than three feet high. Her dog had been asleep throughout the entire experience. She sat up and turned on the light, but could see no trace of him.
