There is an interesting thread on Abovetopsecret.com which details the discovery of tiny aliens in Malaysia between 1950 - 1980 and beyond. These sightings and encounters are detailed by Ahmad Jamaludin.
I do not know of these are the same race which we have suspected is living on Mars but it is likely that they may be related because Mars and earth are not that far away from each other.
Ahmad Jamaludin is most well known in UFOdom for being the author of, A Summary of Unidentified Flying Objects and Related Events in Malaysia (1950-1980), which was published by The Center for UFO Studies in 1981. He also was greatly responsible for The first Malaysian UFO Conference which was held in Kuala Lumpur in December 1995.
