On November 14, 2004, the USS Nimitz Carrier Strike Group Eleven steamed through the clear waters roughly eighty nautical miles west of San Diego beneath cloudless California skies. Unbeknownst to many on board, for nearly a week, operators deep inside the strike group’s Combat Information Center aboard the USS Princeton had been watching something they could not explain. Initially dismissed as equipment anomalies, the contacts refused to disappear, returning repeatedly and exhibiting flight characteristics that seasoned radar operators struggled to reconcile with anything they had...
info_outlineIn 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?
