Duncan’s bio:

His other interests include ancient and mediaeval history, jazz, folk music and hillwalking, and he ran folk song clubs in Ayrshire for 16 years 1965-1981.

He has contributed to 20 other books, and published over 750 articles and 32 stories including ten for the comic strip ‘Lance McLane’, created by Sydney Jordan. He was sci­ence fiction critic of the Glasgow Herald 1971-85, ran the paper’s annual SF short story competition 1986-92, and founded the Glasgow SF Writers’ Circle in 1986 (still going strong). Currently he reviews SF and fantasy for Interzone and Concatenation. His monthly astronomy and space column ‘The Sky Above You’ has appeared in numerous newspapers and magazines since 1983 and is currently on the website of Astronomers of the Future (see below) as well as appearing three times yearly in Jeff Hawke’s Cosmos, for which he also writes notes on the stories in the classic SF comic strip as the magazine reprints them.

Duncan has been a Council Member of ASTRA, the Association in Scotland to Research into Astronautics, from 1963 to 2010, serving at various times as President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer, and on the Publications, Exhibitions and Waverider committees. He was a Curator of Airdrie Public Observatory 1980-81, 1987-97 and 2002-2008, and in 2006-2009 he ran an outreach educational project from the Observatory to schools, funded by the National Lottery. He has since left ASTRA and concentrates most of his time on new projects.

In 2010 Duncan married Linda, and live in Duncan’s home town Troon. Together they founded Astronomers of the Future Ltd, an astronomy and space education company,that also has a society for beginners and the Friends of the Sighthill Stone Circle, who aim to complete and renovate the Sighthill stone circle, making it a local and tourist attraction as originally intended.

Duncan’s book “Children from the Sky, a speculative treatment of a mediaeval mystery – the Green Children of Woolpit”, be published by Mutus Liber can be purchased from Amazon, Waterstones, and some local booksellers. He has signed contracts to tell the story of the Sighthill stone circle in “The Stones and the Stars, a new stone circle for Scotland”, and for “Incoming Asteroid! What could we do about it?”, both to be completed this year and published by Springer International.

It's a reasonably well known legend in the UK and I read somewhere that the girl married and had children and the descendants still lived locally, although I could find no sources for this.

The other being about there color. That it was really just " green sickness, the name once given to anaemia caused by dietary deficiency."

Either way its interesting to think about. And interesting to wonder if this really did happen or if it was just a myth that became believed over time.

Wiki doesnt tell all but enough. It is also recorded that once they taught the children to talk they told them of a land they came from were everything was completley different, and they got there by going through a cave.
