‘Me, my husband and four children were on holiday in Cambridgeshire and were out having a walk. Me and my seven year old daughter were lagging behind, whilst the rest of my family were a couple of hundred meters ahead. As we were walking I noticed what looked like two silvery people (no bigger than ten centimetres) darting about and chasing each other a couple of meters above the corn. They seemed to have a human shape, and a circular shaped blur around them, which I assumed were wings. I pointed them out to my daughter who said she could see them too. As they dived into the corn she said that they had disappeared into the corn, so I knew we had been looking at the same thing. At this point my eldest daughter had run back to us to see what was taking us so long, we very excitedly explained what we had seen and even pointed out to her where some of the corn was rippling where they had gone in.’ ‘Two silvery people (no bigger than ten centimeters) darting about and chasing each other in the air. They seemed to have a human shape, and a circular shaped blur around them, which I assumed were wings.’ ‘[A fairy] because it was something that neither me or my daughter could explain and a fairy seemed to be the description it fit most with.’ ‘[What are fairies?] I honestly don’t know, although from what I saw, there are little flying people living in our world.’
