Flying Saucer Music #18
I’m sure many of you have heard this one. It creeps me out, but my girlfriend thinks it’s cute and feels sorry for the heartsick ultraterrestrial. The vocalist is Betty Johnson and it was released in 1957. A rumor connected with this song is that the voice of the Blue Man was performed by none other than newscaster and commentator Hugh Downs, who many years later became a cheerleader for the legalization of marijuana. Coincidence?
Making things even stranger is this account from Studham, Bedfordshire, UK on January 28th, 1967:
Alex Butler, Tony Banks, Terry Cahill, Colin Lonsdale and David Inglis were playing before the afternoon schooltime starting at 02:00 p.m. at the Studham Lower School.
It had been raining earlier but now the sky had cleared. The boys were skirting a footpath that lead to the low valley of Dell, a place surrounded with bushes and trees, besides Studham Common; which was ideal to play hide-and-seek.
As the boys were chattering, a sudden flash of lightning struck nearby. One of the boys, Alex Butler, aged 10, who was a little way ahead of the others, reached the edge of the bank above the Dell, and stopped in surprise when he saw a small bluish silhouette, or a “little blue man”, standing in a clearing near some bushes down at the foot of the opposite bank, at approximately 20 meters from him.
He stared in amazement at the silhouette for a moment, then shouted to call his friends and they came running and watched the being in bewilderment. After an initial moment during which they were too amazed to move, the boys all ran down to the figure. It did not move, but he seemed to emit some sort of cloud of yellowish-blue mist or a “puff of smoke”; which moved towards the boys, and then the small figure literally vanished in an instant.

Yep. You gotta watch out for these little blue perv stalkers. No telling how many of them there are out there and how many of them are on the net even as we speak!

Bill, have you ever checked out “Venus Isle” by Eric Johnson? The title track speaks of how “Eve” comes to earth for a while. It’s not as obvious in it’s content but bearing in mind that the CD itself has a Venusian Beamship on it and there’s a tiny UFO visible on the cover it wasn’t difficult to put two-and-two together.
I one wrote to Park Street (Eric’s webmaster) and asked him if Eric had an interest in UFOs, and apparently he does.
Venus Isle info and lyrics can be found at:
