‘The location was one of perhaps seven or so campsites that were cleared spaces situated off a single-lane road that threaded its way up a mountainside. The campsites were very basic, accommodating the pitching of a tent, as opposed to something that provided electricity hookups and the like. Very basic, no frills. We’d pitched our tent, had our evening meal, and were sitting by our fire having some beers, but no drugs were involved. Our attention was caught by a movement at the edge of the wood that surrounded our site on three quarters. This edge was approximately fifty feet from our fire where we were seated. Something had flown into the cleared area, just a few feet from the edge of the wood and into the light of our fire. It could have been a luna moth, but for the fact that it was somewhat larger. Wings were apparent, and the central form appeared humanistic. The wings were more like those of a dragonfly vs a luna. It had swooped into the clearing in a smooth downward then uplifting dip, rather than the usual erratic fluttering associated with the flight of moths. It hovered for a few seconds, and then departed in the same even, dipping flight back into the wood.’ Why a fairy? ‘The flight pattern’. What are fairies? ‘Other type of being’.
