    Just watching BBC World. They had an interview with a lady who was planting potatoes in a field with her grandmother. Who should drop from the Sky, none other than Yuri Gagarin. When they saw the Orange figure coming towards them, they ran for their house.

    According to the woman, he shouted after them, telling them not to be scared. He was one of them.

    The grandmother asked him where he had come from, he replied that he had come from a ship. The grandmother told him there was no sea near by, he then told them he had come from the sky
    I can only imagine how confusing that meeting must have been. Personally I think I might have kept on running.
