FACTS FOR "INFORMED SPECULATORS" and TINY ENTITIES REPORTED IN COLOMBIA

This document consists of two distinct sections. The first, authored by F.W. Holiday, critiques the methodology and conclusions of various researchers regarding the Loch Ness monster. Holiday argues against the existence of the creature based on biological constraints, such as the lack of sufficient food sources in the loch, and challenges the validity of sonar and photographic evidence presented by others like Dr. Robert Rines. He expresses skepticism toward the 'ape-man' theory and critiques the use of the term 'hallucination' by authors like Celia Green and Charles McCreery, suggesting that the phenomena are 'pseudo-objects' that are 'real' within their own frame of reference. The second section, written by Gordon Creighton, details a report from the journal Cuarta Dimension regarding an encounter with 'tiny entities' in Colombia. On August 10, 1973, four schoolboys from the Escuela Normal in Ibagué were gathering botanical specimens near the El Jordan ravine when they observed four small, human-like figures. These entities were described as being no more than 20 centimeters tall, dressed in white, and wearing grey caps. The report notes that the boys found footprints in the mud, which were documented by photographs. Rafael Barrero Cortes, director of the Cirex research group, investigated the incident, and the report highlights that the story became a significant topic of conversation throughout the Colombian Republic.
