When the alien head formation at Charlbury Hill appeared we were keen to conduct some experiments within.
As it was in a very remote location and away from many tourists this was indeed a very appropriate location to spend the entire night.

We positioned ourselves approx. in the middle of the the head. Laid down a camping blanket ( fire retardant ), set up various cameras, including night vision goggles and emf/temperature reading meters and so we begun our observation. 

Anyone who has seen the movie about a comical alien called ' PAUL ' may see the humorous and possibly mysterious aspect of this event at the same time. So here goes !

My colleagues name is ironically  Paul who was with me at the time. Paul quit smoking approx. 2 weeks prior to us visiting this formation but unknown to me Paul decided to start smoking a pipe instead on this very day !

Half way through the night Paul pulls out his pipe and decides to have a smoke ( please note that smoking is not recommended in a field of wheat - however we did take all appropriate safety precautions by restricting everything we did on a fire retardant blanket and we even brought along a small portable fire extinguisher ) which was a surprise to me as I was aware that Paul had quit smoking all together.

As we sat there chatting about this and that with the pleasant aroma of pipe tobacco wafting through the air  we heard a noise which we couldn't make out the direction it was coming from, so we ducked just in case someone spotted us. We looked around but couldn't see anything but yet the noise continued. The noise we described at the time was kind of muffled continuous thudding. The only direction we didn't look was up !!. So I looked up and there above our heads was a bloody big owl ( well it looked like an owl !!) . We started waving our arms, trying to get the owl to fly away but no this owl decided that it wasn't going to be told what to do. Eventually after 5 minutes or so I stood up and raised my arms again, it is only then the owl flew away. I have to admit it was rather an odd experience !!.

So here we have three possibilities. 1. is either the whole event is just coincidental, 2. Something mysterious happened 3. The makers were inspired by the movie ' PAUL ', but in the movie the comical alien smokes cigarettes . ( there is a 4th possibility and that is someone knows what we were up to ! ). Oh well cant keep secrets from anyone these days.

Apart from the owl incident the only other thing that happened on this night was white streaks of light  flashed across the field on 3 different occasions which were described as rather unusual.
