The image above shows how the monster may look like a barn own from a distance, but if taken a careful look, it would actually look fiery.ДЄfter the 12 th September incident a show about the monster was aired on the radio and also on TV. The sound emitted by the Flatwoods monster was between a shrill hiss and a high pitched sound. With long claw like fingers, a round face, extra terrestrial appearance, and giant eyes, the monster actually looked very fiery and terribly horrific. One thing is for certain, no one has ever reported anything like that creature that lurked in the Flatwoods.The monster had fiery red eyes, and it glided at them, made hissing sounds and later they also described it to be quite big than a human figure, almost 10 feet tall. We might never know what happened that night in Flatwoods. For one, I would think that anyone would know the difference between an owl, no matter what size, and a humanoid entity. Skeptics theorized that a meteor and a barn owl are the most likely explanations to the locals having seen a вЂњfire ballвЂќ and a 10-foot entity in the woods nearby. It has been 6 decades and we still have no reliable explanation as to what really happened that 12th of September in 1952 in the small town of Flatwoods, Virginia. Hours after the encounter with the strange creature in the woods, the boys would become ill, complaining of nose, eyes, and throat irritation as well as nausea and vomiting. With that, they all took off in a panicked frenzy and ran for cover to the MayвЂ™s home. Within seconds, the entity emitted a high-pitched shrill and began hovering, or gliding towards the frightened and confused locals. The creature stood tall underneath an Oak tree.

It wore a large skirt like fabric that appeared to have a greenish tint. That is to say that it had a torso, limbs and claw like hands. Bulging eyes decorated itвЂ™s large bulbous head. When they pointed their flashlights toward the location of the small lights, they all recoiled in horror when an ominous creature, 10 feet tall stood floating above the ground.ДЄt 10 feet tall, the strange entity was described as having a red glowing face with a green body. While observing the burning sphere, off to the left of the object, two small glints of light caught their attention. Without warning, there was a pungent miasma surrounding the object which instantly made their eyes, nose, and throat burn. The curious part ventured forth.Д¬oming closer to the exact spot, they were all surprised to see a large pulsating ball of fire, hovering yards away. Upon arrival, the older boyвЂ™s dog took off to investigate ahead of them, only to return right away, whimpering and with its tail between its legs. May and three other young boys (ages 10, 14, and 17) took off to the remote location in which the boys said the object had landed. All three of the boys saw the object landВ near local woods, or land that belong to a well known farmer.Д¬urious, the boys ran home to tell Mrs. On September 12, 1952, Edward and Fred May (brothers) and their friend Tommy Hyer had witnessed a bright object cruise overhead, cutting through the evening sky. It has been 60 years since the sighting by several people yet this case still remains as mysterious as it was that fateful day of September 12, 1952. The town of Flatswood, West Virginia, has since become synonymous with famous UFO sightings. Also known as the Braxton County MonsterВ or the Phantom of FlatwoodsВ is the name given to a strange entity that was seen a mere 6 decades ago today.
