The approximate location near the airport. The Isle of Wight. The described 'hut'.
As is often the case with encounters, commonalities with other cases are difficult to perceive. But IMO perception is what this encounter is all about. It has been speculated that whatever it is that people encounter in such reports frames the witness' perception in terms of objects and concepts with they are already familiar. Robots and clowns are notions which fascinate children, and it may have been the case that the children who had this encounter were at least familiar with what clowns and robots are ... thus serving as the "framing structure" for their perception of the encounter.
I don't doubt these children encountered the paranormal, but their visual perception of the event may not have at all matched the reality of it.
