They arrived in my back garden probably on Sunday night after the rain. Of course, I never heard a thing and knew nothing about it until this morning when I went to dead head my cyclamen.
The weirdest thing is, they have two feet just likes ours because I could quite plainly see two footprints larger than mine in the soft soil. My garden is completely enclosed by a six foot high fence which isn't very robust so I checked to see if there was any damage to the fence but there wasn't.
After phoning the police and leaving a message for the local beat team I went back outside to check if there were any other tell tale marks but came up with very little. Then I wondered if the Martian visitor had done a bungee jump into the garden and bounced straight out again.
This evening one of the PCSO's came round and although it was dark we went outside and I showed him the footprints. He couldn't make out how the Martian got into the garden but I also showed him some other signs including a couple of broken leaves on a plant so we think we know how he made his escape.
Then I took him upstairs so he could see just how my garden is in relation to all the others and he was even more baffled. The place where we saw the footprints was obviously the place of entry but in order to get there, the culprit either had to clamber over about a dozen or so gardens with walls and fences of various heights, or fall out of the sky!
The PCSO made a few notes and went off saying he would do some house to house enquiries tomorrow when he comes on duty. In the meantime I think he will probably be looking out for a little green man!
