I've always been fascinated by Sam the Sandown Clown. It's such a bizarre story but that weirdly makes it more realistic. Honestly, I'm kind of more liable to believe an alien encounter story if the alien is something really weird.

After reading more about the story, I realized that Sam was likely a non-corporeal entity. He describes himself as a ghost but not really. His face doesn't seem permanent. He's described as eating berries by putting them in his ear and having his eyes take them to his mouth. He calls himself "all colors" which makes me think he's made of light since light itself is made up of all colors. Light can be turned into mass through artificial means so, perhaps, there's some planet where this happened naturally.

His clown-like appearance could've been a suit he was wearing to interact with the world. His species could convert sugar into food like a plant which would explain why he was only eating berries. This is all conjecture, but it's something interesting to think about whether it's a true story or not.
