THE FLATWOODS MONSTER



On the return trip from Ozzfest in Pittsburgh, we stopped in the small town of Flatwoods, West Virginia. The town was allegedly the site of a UFO crash on September 12, 1952. The locals that wandered up to the site were faced with a twelve foot tall monster that pretty much scared them shitless. The authorities were called in and conducted what Ufologists believe to be a cover-up that mirrored the Roswell incident.

There's really nothing there to be seen. If you blinked, you'd miss the town. Still, you don't see a Home of the Green Monster sign every day. There was a small 'Monster Museum' there for a festival in 2002, but we didn't see any sign of it. I doubt it would've been open on Sunday anyway.

Okay then, you can read more about the incident at the link below.
