In 1973, a bizarre encounter allegedly unfolded on the Isle of Wight, involving two children who claimed to meet an odd, clown-like humanoid figure near Sandown, England. Speaking in odd phrases and appearing to inhabit a strange, makeshift dwelling, the being called itself "All Colors Sam," and despite the obscure origins of the tale, it would eventually gain a cult following within the annals of UFO and high-strangeness lore, remembered today as the story of Sam "The Sandown Clown."

Joining us this week on The Micah Hanks Program to discuss this case from ufology's "Odd Files" is Ryan Whalen, a Brooklyn-based researcher, science reporter, and college instructor who holds an MA in History and a Master of Library and Information Science with a certificate in Data Science. Whalen, who also co-hosts the podcast "Cease to Exist", reveals what he and his colleagues recently uncovered about this bizarre 1973 urban legend. What new details have emerged about the case, and one of the alleged witnesses to these eerie events that have since become a mainstay in modern UFO folklore?
