(ORDO NEWS) — The case, which occurred in May 1973 with two seven-year-old children vacationing with their parents in the resort town of Sandown on the Isle of Wight, still defies explanation.
Alas, the main characters of this story are no longer alive, and ufologists believe that they met with an alien alien or became eyewitnesses of secret tests.
Three-toed under the bridge
The boy and girl were not brother and sister to each other, they just played together.
One day, going for a walk in the area of Lake Common, the children suddenly heard a sound similar to the buzz of a siren, and decided to go see what it was.
They ended up in an abandoned part of the local airport and crossed over a wooden bridge over a stream.
Suddenly, a large three-fingered hand in a blue glove stuck out from under the bridge and began to beckon them to him.
A strange creature appeared from under the bridge.
“It was large, over 7 feet, and had no neck, so that it seemed that his head was sitting directly on his shoulders.
He wore a pointed hat that went into the red collar of a tattered green tunic. like a round black pen, and on the sides of the hat were two stick antennas – this is how the children later described the stranger.
There was a triangular mark on the face where the eyes should have been, instead of a nose – a brown square, and the lips – yellow and motionless The snow-white cheeks also had geometric markings, and a lock of red hair fell on the forehead from under the hat. Ruffles stuck out on the sleeves and trousers at the bottom.”
On all the limbs of the creature there were only three fingers. However, the meeting did not frighten the children, as the stranger behaved quite good-naturedly.
He took out a book from somewhere and threw it into the stream, and then, pretending to be trying to get it out of the water, he dived into it himself.
Then the creature jumped out of the stream and disappeared into a nearby building like a metal barn with no windows.
“Hi, I’m Sam”
The children mistook the stranger for a clown, as the creature resembled him both in appearance and habits.
When they were about to leave, the “clown” came out of the barn, holding in his hand something like a microphone, from which a wire stretched. It turned out that this device made the sound that was heard earlier.
This time the buzzing was so loud that the boy got frightened, sobbed and ran away. Then the “clown” turned off the siren and said into the microphone: “Are you still here?”
The boy stopped and, after thinking, decided to return. Taking out his book again, the strange stranger, in very clumsy handwriting, like that of a novice schoolboy, wrote the phrase: “Hi, I’m in all colors, Sam.”
Then Sam (as his name was obviously) spoke, but his lips did not move at all. The children asked why Sam had such torn clothes, and he replied that he had no other clothes.
Then the girl asked if he was human, and received a cryptic answer: “Not really, I’m something strange.”
Further, the “clown” said that Sam is not his real name, it is taken from the book. And that there are still people like him in this world, and they can hurt him.
After a while, Sam invited the children to come into his “house”. At the same time, it turned out that it was possible to penetrate there only through a small side opening. The boy and girl could barely get through.
The building turned out to be two-tiered. The upper tier was covered with blue-green wallpaper, the pattern of which resembled a clock face.
There were several pieces of wooden furniture and an electric heater. Below was a narrow space and a metal floor.
Sam said that he eats wild berries and drinks water from a stream, which he purifies in some special way. He also said that he used to live in some kind of “secret camp”.
In front of the children, the “clown” took off his hat, revealing sparse, brownish hair, and ears that turned out to be round and white.
At some point, Sam suddenly took one berry, put it in his ear and sharply pulled his head forward, after which the berry was already in the eye socket.
He stretched out his head again, and the berry appeared in the area of the lips, after which it disappeared.
Was it a biorobot?
At home, the children did not tell anyone about the meeting with Sam. Only a few weeks later, having already returned from the resort, the girl told her father about everything.
He was so shocked that he decided to go to Sandown and check the information. However, once on the spot, the man did not find either the “iron house” or anyone resembling a “clown”.
In the winter of 1978, the story was published in the journal of the British Association of UFO Investigators.
Ufologists put forward a version that the “clown” was a biorobot, which was created either by aliens or earthly scientists.
But it is not clear why the robot lived in an “iron house” and led a “human” life – he ate, drank, used furniture and a heater … Perhaps these were some kind of tests?
Unfortunately, both little heroes of this story passed away in the early 2000s.
Which also looks pretty odd since they were only about 35 years old at the time. But until the end of their lives, they claimed that the meeting with “Sam the Clown” really was.
