The Flatwoods Monster

From the starting I have been writing about the urban legends which exist or were rumored to exist on Earth, so this time I thought of writing about a legend from the 'Outer Space'. This legend is known as the 'Flatwoods Monster'.

This thing was spotted on 12th September, 1952 in the Flatwoods in Braxton city near West Virginia, USA.

Not much known appearances were available about this things except for the first time it made a cameo.

At around 7:00 p.m three people Edward May, Fred May and Tommy Hyer spotted a bright light in the night sky, which according to them crashed in the forest. They reported it to Kathleen May who called the locals Neil Henley, Ronnie Shaver alongwith West Virginia National Guardsman, Eugene Lemon.

As they headed towards the forest their noses captured a unique odour and a bright light which was coming from the trees. They even reported they saw two round red light behind the trees and when they aimed the flashlight towards it they saw a tall thing( around 10 feet tall) with two big red eyes staring at them. The face was covered by a hood which was like it was wearing a leaf at its back.

The thing ran deep in the woods and the search party ran towards the town. This story spread like fire and the investigation began in the woods for the creature.

The Flatwoods monster was never seen after that but the incident was tried to cover up. According to Joe Nickell(member of Committee for Skeptical Inquiry), the bright light witnessed by the people was a meteor and the red light was the beacon of an aircraft since there were investigations regarding an crashed aircraft.

Regarding the monster Joe concluded that the monster resembles much to that of an owl who might have stuck itself in some leaf and the rest which they have seen might be their imagination due to anxiety.

Whatever the conclusion maybe but it's for sure that there was something there that night which was definitely not an owl and if that's so then it's possible that aliens might have already begun visiting the planet and they are not only limited to 'Area 51'.
