Abstract
It is argued that the small ether drifts first observed by Michelson and Morley may be compatible with either an extension of Newtonian Mechanics, or with Vigier?s interpretation of relativity in absolute space, provided that a small photon rest mass (of the order of 10-35 gr. for yellow light) be introduced.
