"Leprechaun in a tree" story reminds me a bit of the glowing winged man seen in a tree in Houston, Texas on the night of June 18, 1953. The Irish Leprechaun strikes me as having a very close family resemblance to the Mayan/Yucatan _alux_, like the one seen by the caretaker Xuc in the Mayapan ruins one night in 1077, as described in _The Field Guide to Bigfoot, Yeti, and Other Mystery Primates Worldwide_. Irish folklore also features another "fairy," the _grogoch_, a naked hairy red dwarf 3 feet tall who reminds me an awful lot of the Flores Island "Hobbits" and _ebu gogo_, making me wonder if by any chance some _Homo floresiensis_ made it all the way from Indonesia to Ireland? Also check out Martin Kottmeyer's _Anomalist_ article some years back on the history of the phrase "Little Green Men" as a flippant designation for UFO aliens.--T.
